                                CHAPTER V。 



                       DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION。 



     I called at the Department of Information�察�and when I was introduced I 

realized that I was in the presence of one of the world's greatest teachers。 

She gave me a warm handshake and said�察 �I have been expecting you�察�and 

now that you are here�察�I will take pleasure in showing you the workings of 

the   department   over   which   I   have   the   honor   to   preside。   There   are   no 

Government   or   private   detective   agencies   in  our   country�察  �but   a   constant 

watch is kept on all public officials as well as private violators of the law�察�

by the Government placing for sale in every postoffice and every military 

station and every prison Government envelopes with fifty´cent stamps on 

them�察  �and   any   person   interfering   in   the   sending   or   tampering   with   said 

letters   is   punished   by   imprisonment   for   five   years   at   hard   labor。   Steel 

boxes   with   a   slit   in   the   lid   to   receive   the   letters   were   placed   in   every 

postoffice�察�military station and prison�察�and could not be opened except by 

a   commissioner   from   the   Department   of   Information。 Any   person   could 

buy   one�察  �for   there   was   a   printed   address   on   them�察  �and   send   it   to   the 

President�察  �who   has   at   the   present   time   three   hundred   secretaries   ��young 

ladies chosen from the orphan home�� to read the letters�察�answer them and 

send a copy to the Minister of Justice who has them Classified�察�and acting 

on the information sends orders out to bring the guilty parties to justice�察�

and as punishment is meted out only to the bribetakers�察�for it is only acting 

according to the mandates of human nature for a relative or friend to try to 

get a person out of trouble to offer a bribe�察�carried with it no penalty�察�but it 

left the bribetaker at the mercy of the other party�察�and in consequence of 

adopting   this   system   very   few   public   officials   proved   untrue�察  �and   crime 

has greatly diminished。 Our department has charge of all mail matter and 

telegraph�察    �telepost    and   telephone     lines   and   wireless    stations    and   all 

newspaper   books   and   magazine   publications�察  �and   we   edit   the   National 

Gazette�察  �besides   we   have   charge   of   all   Government   scientific   research 

parties�察  �and   if   you   will   call   again   to´morrow   I   think   I   will   be   able   to 

introduce you to the Chief Engineer who stands very high in his profession�察�

                              DEPARTMENT OF MINES。 



     I   called   at  the   appointed     time   and    was    introduced     to  the   Chief 

Engineer�察  �who   invited   me   to   accompany   him   on   an   inspection   tour�察  �to 

which   I   gladly   assented�察  �and�察  �after   a   week's   pleasant   travel   by   rail�察  �we 

arrived   at   the   station   on   the   southwestern   slope   of   Mount   Everest   at   an 

elevation   of   twelve   thousand   feet   above   the   sea。   We   had   arrived   in   the 

evening and enjoyed a good night's rest�察�and�察�eating a hearty breakfast�察�we 

walked out to take observations of the locality�察�before taking our trip to the 

summit�察�and the Chief told me of the way by which they finally erected an 

observatory on the highest mountain of the earth。 

     ;Five     years   ago   the   President    sent   for   me�察─  �explained     the   Chief 

Engineer�察 �and asked if I could plan an observatory on Mount Everest。 I 

replied that I would try to do so if the Government saw fit to place me in 

charge   of   the   undertaking。   I   received   my   commission   the   next   day   and�察�

calling    to   my   aid   two   of   the  ablest   engineers     in  the   service    of  the 

Government�察�we selected a site for the entrance of the tunnel and next we 

searched for suitable power to do the work。 We found a waterfall twenty 

miles     distant�察  �where    we    built  a  power     house�察   �installed   turbines    and 

dynamos and built an electric line to this place。 We then erected a machine 

shop�察  �in   which   we   placed   our   electric   engines   and   air   compressors�察  �and 

built a railroad connecting with the main line�察�and after we had done that 

we   started   the   tunnel。   As   you   will   observe�察  �the   tunnel   is   a   round   bore 

twelve   feet   in   diameter�察  �and   no   explosives   were   used   in   making   it。   We 

used a tunneling machine driven and operated by compressed air�察�boring 

on   the   average   fifty   feet   every   twenty´four   hours�察  �and   we   washed   the
