A despatch from China the other day gave
some account of very heavy and destructive
rainfall in one of the provinces of the Middle
Kingdom. 1t was stated that O22 Inches
were preciptated in twenty four hours, with
the result of flooding large tracts and doing
much damage, What fall of ten inches in
twenty-four hours means may be realized
from the fact that one inch of rain gives 100
tons of water per acre, or GO, 600 tons TO the
square mile Ten inches, therefore, gives l.
600 tons of wafer TO the acre, and GOO, 600
tons 10 the square mile. Yet the Chinese
rainfall referred to is by no means in the front
rank Of such occurrences. For instance, Ar
ago reports that on October ., 1927, no less
than 30 . inches OF rain fell in twenty two
hours at JoyeuSe. That was three times the
Chinese precipitation, and consequently
reached 5000 tons TO the acre and l, 500, 900
tons tOathe square mile. Again, on October
%, 1886, q wRterspout broke over Gibralter,
and 3O.ll inches of water fell This is near
ly two,thirds of the average annual rainfall of
New York.
No such fall hRs ever been recorded in
England, though the rate of it was approach
cd pretty closely on August l, 1916, when 8 .
~ inches fell in two hours in ST. paura
ohurehyard. This was a very heavy rain for
the locality, for at London a fall of more than
one inch in twenty -four hours ia rare. In the
west of England, however, the precipitation
is much more abundant Thus on July IA,
1875, in Nomenclature, 5.3G inches fell in
twenty. four hours, and on June 30, 1881, at
SeathwRite, 4 80 inches fell in the same space
Of time. The average annual rainfall at the
last named place indeed, is 1854 inches-a
record not 10 be matched elsewhere out of the
tropics. The wettest parts of the globe are
naturally such Is are exposed 10 westerly
winds blowing over extensive ocean tracts,
and depoaitinR their moisture on the FIRST
coast they meet Such places are the Khasia
Hills, in Assam, with Cherraponga, where
the annual rainfall il, according 10 Scott, 400
inches, and according TO Lyman, 600 inches.
This would give precipitation of GO, 900 tons
10 the acre, and G. 900, 900 tons TO the square
mile II represents body of water, in fact,
fifty feet in depth.
There is no such tremendous precipitation
in any other part of the globe, though sever

that an elevation Of about 1000 feet above
the sea level affords the most favorable con
ditions (other things being equaD for the
heaviest precipitation, for that is the height
of both OherrRponga and Mahabulashma.
In the so-oalled "cloud bursts" which occur
on the Western plains, the precipitation ia
probably as heavy as that OF the Gibraltt
watorspout cited above, though no record has
yet been obtained Of such phenomena. II is
also somewhat curious that though exception
ally severe storms seem at times TO disturb
the record, the result Of sixty years Of observ-
alton shows that the annual average in these
Eastern states remains constant, and that we
have neither more nor less rainfall on the
whole than our grandfathers had. N J.

A considerable part of the Amer
lean petroleum shipped to Europe is,
after being %deodorized, made into
butter and suet, which are used by
the poorer classes to some extent,
but very largely by bakers in the
large cities, who use it in making
cake. The confectioners also employ
it. 1t has a great advantage over
butter in that in store cakes or in
candy the petroleum not only does
not become rancid and betray the
age of the article, but acts as a pre-
sentative in keeping the other ingre,
dients of the cake or candy from
spelling. A recent hygienic council,
sitting in Paris, protested against
this use of our oil, but it is no,
thought its consumption in this way
will be lessened.

Valley Sentinel.


One CT the questions which will
probably force themselves upon the
people of this country for settlement
in the next decade will be the "tenure
of office" question. Already we hear
it talked about. a bill has been intro
duced in the Senate making the presi-
dents term six years, and it is meet
with favor. Newspapers and cores
pondents are ridiculing the idea of q
district sending a new man to repre-
sent them every term or two. 1t
seems to be gradually dawning upon
the minds of sensible men that short
terms are not the best ones. There
are one or two important facts which
can be seen very clearly if we look at
it in a plain business way.
In the first place one short term in
Office DEMANDS A HIGH SALARY in
order to get good men. Our public
offices should be filled with good men.
We have to trust to them large sums
of money and very important inter
ests. On them devolves the care of
the poor, the peace ana safety of the
community, and the harmonious con-
dition of society. The right kind of
men TO fill such important places are
not idlers, loafers, gamblers or pot
house politicians, but they are the
busy men, whose brains and hands
are trained to work, and who can con-
duct their own businesses with honor
and success. These men are the ones
to be entitled with the peoples affairs.
In order to get these men to give up
their lucrative business for one short
term, therefore, we must offer them
inducements in the shape of salary
which is far beyond what would be
needed if the Office would be a e
manent or long term-one. A man
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1885-02-26
We are asked why it is that money

We are asked why it is that money
commands 8 per cent. here and
scarce at this rate, and yet goes
begging in New York and through
out the east at less than 4 per cent.
The reason is plain: "The Atlantic
States drain the West of its sur
plus money in many ways. A thou
sand articles of almost universal con-
sumption and use are manufactured
In the East which ought to be made
here, giving US the benefits Of the
profits of the pay to employees and
mechanics, and of the stimulus to
business which follows in the train
of profitable employment of the
masses. Will some one tell US why
half the shoes worn in Preble County
are made in Boston, Rochester and
Lynn? Have they better mechanics
and better facilities for manufacture
ing? Will their money buy stock
cheaper than our? The same might
be asked of many other articles we
buy and use. Every ob~servant and
thinking man must sec that We are
being sadly left in the race of life.
That VIZ are being outstripped and
overrun by other communities and
sections of our country which have
men of nerve, thrift and enterprise,
who understand the drift of trade and
business and trim their sails to catch
the breeze.
