Description
Our past and present relations with the North-\Vest frontier of India are not inaptly typified by Mr. Kipling’s two sketches. The magnificent “leader” of the caravan slowly threading its way through passes and across deserts, from the distant cities of Central Asia to the marts of Ind, is being fast displaced by the less picturesque but more potent locomotive, and the iron road for which Mr. O’Callaghan’s men are tearing a hole through the last range separating us from Kandal1i"u"——-a road that before many years are over may possibly see through booking to Europe vici Samrkand and Bulcliara.
