shoulder. Everywhere are little brown
babies whose sole costume is piece Of
string tied round their waists, and posi-
bly, bracelets or anklets. Now pass flocks
of goats to the milking, or little-humped
bullocks drawing rough wooden carts or
carrying burdens; perhaps line of
camels fastened together with total
disregard to their comfort by means of a

chan. borne in a palki, or great man re-
Ginning in carriage driven by gaily but
untidily clad coachmen, and preceded by
mounted sowars carrying little flags on
lances. Turning into the bazars, the scene
is even more animated On either side of
the narrow street are littleopen shops, like
platforms raised couple of feet above the
ground, sheltered by projected awnings of
bamboo, thatch or tiles. The side-posts
and intels are sometimes, as at Muttra,
curiously carved; sometimes, as at Baroda,
gaudily painted red, green and yellow.
On the platform the master of the estab-
lishment often spreads his charpoy and
bolster-such bed as the healed par
alytic would have carried away with him
and waits placidly for the bargaining
customers. Even the pic, about third of
farthing, is not minute enough for ma
tive transactions, and pile of cowrie
shells by his side represents vet smaller
change. -Nineteenth Century.

that there was not shadow of a doub
that the dam would be strong enough to
stand any strain that could possibly be
brought to bear u sssi it: myself and
consulting engineer Feely," he said, "who
have planned the whole structure, have
based all our calculations upon making
dam with factor of two-that is, we have
made it strong enough to withstand Just
twice the strain that it is expected to
have to bear. From eleven to sixteen tons
to the square foot is the pressure that we
calculate the dam will stand. OF course,
the pressure depends altogether upon the
depth of the water. The volume that
will be confined behind the dam has
nothing to do with it. theoretically, if
we should build two dams like this an inch
apart, and should fill the space between
them with water, they would have to
bear Just as much pressure as this one will
with all the 10000, 100000 gallons ofwater
behind it
"This seems an extraordinary state
ment to make, but, nevertheless it is the
literal truth. The pressure depends
wholly upon the highth of the column or
body of water; it does not take any
stronger banks to hold the Atlantic Ocean
than to hold the Hudson river. If you
had to build dam in proportion to the
bulk of water it had to hold, the Isthmus
of Panama would be about as good as a
cardboard dam up at Quaker Bridge"

estimate of the wheat crop of northern

and piled up in the yards is not more than
one-third the crop of last year. At Bata-
