Rural scene in India.

For the last 100 miles much Of the
country was pretty. The mango and
other orchards are abundant and every
plain had it's many scattered trees. Bar
ley was added as a growth, and was well
headed and green. Fences, where there
were any, were of cactus and prickly
pear. The spider webs over them well
clouded with dust looked like great gos-
samer wells spread over the spiky hedges.
Rows OF aloes or century plants lined the
road. Now and then vision would pene-
trate as far as the eye could reach, through
openings in the trees, and the prospect
was that Of a perfectly fiat plain, relieved
only by trees and villages. One odd
thing is frequently seen-3smal round cir
Giles or mud well topped by cactus, three
to Ave feet high, and say four to SIX in
diameter. l nave since found these to be
projections for young trees. They pro-
tect against intrusion and against hot sun
