capital was transferred from Calcutta to Delhi, 

 its permanent location. 



At the outbreak of the War of the Nations in 

 1914 India proved not different from the other 

 British dependencies in its protestations of loy- 

 alty. It was the general opinion of the world 

 . that Germany thought the native states of 

 India would revolt from Great Britain and thus 

 lessen the latter's participation in the war. The 

 native princes, however, offered men and 

 money, and very early in the fighting Indian 

 troops were rushed to France, where they 

 showed on strange soil the excellence of their 

 training. A.MCC.

INDIA INK, an absolutely black pigment 

 made of lampblack mixed with glue or gum. 

 It was known and used in China at about 2600 

 B. c. The best lampblack for this purpose is 

 obtained from oil of sesame. The lampblack 

 and glue are first made into a paste, which is 

 then placed in molds to dry. When required 

 for use as ink it is mixed with water. It is 

 in great demand for pen-and-ink drawings 

 which are to be photographed and resolved 

 into printing plates, as it is the only known 

 pigment which is really black without a shade 

 of any other color. The drawings appearing in 

 this work to illustrate reading 

 matter were all originally drawn 

 with India ink, four to six times 

 as large as they appear in print. 



,NDIANA, one of the north-central states 

 of the American Union, popularly known as 

 the Hoosicr State. The meaning of this nick- 

 name, which is used far more commonly than 

 the popular names of most other states, no one

 local term, the origin of which is forgotten. 

 As its state flower emblem Indiana has chosen 



the carnation. Its state song is "On the Bunks 

 of the Wabash."

 states with a considerable north and south

 miles and its greatest breadth 145 miles. Its

 thirty-seventh in size among the states of the
