work ON Continental Irrigation by Henry Sing
Roth Of Queensland has lately come into our hands
In view of the advocacy of the cooperative system
which has been made in these columns We publish
the following extracts from his summing up. Mr..
Roth says:
i. That all land Is fitted for irrigation if attain
able by irrigation wOrks-the position OF the land
itself being secondary consideration. Mountain
slopes hilly spurs, valleys are all alike brought
into cultivation soon as water is obtainable to
irrigate them at times soil is even transported to
elevated and barren localities where water having
been brought by canals, has become available.
Hence irrigation extends the area under cultiya-
ton and increases the produce of the country.
>. That irrigation Is more suited to small or
peasant propretorshps than to large holdings even
than to holdings of 100 acres. The reason for this
is that the irrigation Of land requires care, atten-
ton, and scrupulous cleanliness, which while
they repay manifold, are nevertheless u too min
ute and lmportan. character TO be left in the
hands OF paid labOurer II requires the imme-
diate supervision and direct work VI the proprie-
tor himself, who alone is sufficiently stimulated
by the return he receives. IL is all very well TO
say that it must be a despicable man who work
ing by the side of his master allows that master
70 work harder than be himself does, yet IT Is eX
pectiny too much from any ordinary man that
he should care, seeing he Is not impeiieu Dy the
same hope of pruportionate reward.
3 That any man who understands anything OF
agriculture even in its rudest form is capable OF
laying out the lower systems of meadow irrigation
I. That the size of the fields to be irrigated
depends on the conhguration of the land, even
with the higher system of irrigation even on a
plain the natural unevenness of the surface is
general. hence the size of the fields is in so far
limited. Perhaps, however, were the proprietor
ship of the land not excessively subdiyided the
fields would in many cases be very much greater;
notwithstanding this the greater part Of the fields
are large enough TO admit of bullock lab0ur.
3 That irrigation forms payable investment,
both to the capitalist who invests his money in the
irrigation works, and TO the landed proprietor
who awaits himself of the water aud who would
otherwise have crops none at least 10 speak Of

Mrs. Hampson, the Evnnrolist.

This lady, of whom 50 much has been said, ar
rived by the ZeqldHiia. She is still suffering from
the effects of a severe accident which occurred
during her Eyangelistic services in Sandhurst.
At Geeloug, Australia, where she held services
hast before sailing for Honolulu, her success was
the most remarkable of any of the scores OF mis-
siOnsn which she has held during the past four
years in the Colonies. Hundreds were added to
the Churches and Mrs. Hampson won the love
and esteem of all classes. The Daily Gesiogg Id
rcJfiser published the following leading editorial
upon the lady and her remarkable work in that
city:
Mrs Hampsou, tho lady who Is ut present visit
ing this town and conducting gospel mission, Is
possessed OF quite phenomenal gifts. In these
days of wOmens rights, many privileges are claimed
for the weaker sex which men arc rather slow to
concede. And, perhaps, least Of all are the lords
of creation willing to be TAUGHT by woman.
They have very natural prejudice against sitting
at her feet in public; at all events, however abiect
may be their homage IN Those more private rela-
tons where Yields her sway. But Mrs.
Hamps0n has won the golden opinions OF men
everywhere, even Of those who we're not oonserva-
tive in their views 10 the subsection Of woman.
What took place in Sydney, where members Of
parliament, and ministers of the Crown, and
knights of Bath, sat listening TO her feryid elo-
quence, has taken place in this colony too; and
here in GeelOng, learned ministers and municipal
magnates have been seen among her great au-
diences. Who and what is she who eau thus over
come mems preiudices, and make them yield for
time their ideas of superior wisdom She Is an
unassuminr woman, of quiet and geE'le manners,
who only wakes bold and outspoken W :. che Is
proclaiming truths that have divine aullSs
She does not claim any influence or authority for
herelf. She only says that 1t has been put into
her heart by a Higher Power 10 tell forth his mes
sages to men, and she just does it. But the intel
ligent and cultivated man cannot see and hear
this simple message bringer without being sensible
that she is possessed Of remarkable gifts: Apart
from the enthusiasm which fills her and her evi-

1t has been common belief that leprosy was
introduced into Europe after the 1st crusade or
sometime during the 10Th century. writer in the
NiHetssHh Century quotes number Of early re
cords to prove the early prevalence Of leProsy in
Europe. Tue writer says:
The laws of the great Welsh king, Howell the
Good decreed in g2S that if a woman left her bus
band on account of his being lePer, she was en-
titled to the full restitution and sole possession OF
all her goods.
But earlier than this, in 757, Pepin, King Of
France, by an edict promulgated at the council he
convened at COmpegue, ruled that leprOsy in eth
er husband or wife might with the consent OF the
leprOus cOnsort be regarded as sufficient ground
Of divorce, and that the husband or wife not az
fected could thereupOn contract fresh marriage.
And, earlier still than the eighth century, We
have historic proof that leprosy was common In
Europe. Rotharis, tho great Lombard legislator,
passed law in 6i3 depriving anyone in his king.

Moreover, in SO the Council Of Orleans special

the Gallo Church, directing that none should Be

they should be prOvid d with all necessary food
and clothing from the funds Of the Church In
order that the decree-wilh n tenderness IN
strange contrast to the manners of those rude
times-continues, They shall not lack pitying
care who through so dire an infrmity lack all.
The third Council of Lyons in $50 laid similar
injunction on the EpiscOpate regarding the lepers

The Morning Star


The Bath, Me-, Daily Timss. of recent date,
publishes the following:
"A telegram from New York says;-Some days
since Supervising Inspector Of Steam Vessels g.
II. Starbuck of this city received telegram from
the steamboat inspectors of Boston asking If a
certain described make of boilers, designed for
use on sea-cOiug vessels, came under the law. He
replied: No. II now appears that the boiler men
toned above was on the new missionary vessel,
the Morning Star, now lying loaded and ready for
sea at Boston. and, upon receipt of word from In
spector Starbuck the local inspector at Boston re-
fused to pass the boiler Can't. Bray, of the yes
sci, accompanied by several good people from
your town. came here, and, after wrestling with
Inspector Starbuck, succeeded in getting. him to
write orders to the local inspectors at Boston,
directing them 10 inspect the boiler and grant
conditional" certificate, which would allow her
to proceed on her voyage. The reason Inspector
Starbuck gives for overriding the law (which Is
very plain to the type Of boilers TO be used on
sea-going steamers) Is curious one, and IS IN
dOubtedly the first Of the kind ever made by an
officer charged with the Interpretation Of the laws
of the country. He admits that the boiler is con-
structed against the law, but says that, inasnuch
as one steamer has been inspected and passed
with the same kind of boiler, this one may also
be allowed to depart. He fails to mention. how
ever, that the steamer whose case forms prece-
dent was inspected in his own district
To which the Nautical Gd-efrs of November 9Th,

rnent except to say that this is a fair sample Of
