EEEECTS OF DRAINAGE.

Improvement of Climatic Conditions
Through Mans Ingenuity.
How few people realize the results of
extensive drainage, such as highly
civilized country presents. No incon-
siderable changes are wrought by arti-
fetal drainage. Much of surface water,
instead of being left to form marshes,
saturate the soil, or be taken up by
evaporation, is carried away under.
ground through drain-pipes. Conse-
quently, the air is not so moist as for
merly, and the soil, instead of being
constantly chilled by evaporation, is
rendered warm and genial. This result
has been particularly noticed in England
and Scotland, where very extensive
areas have been artifcially drained.
Holland has been, one might say, re-
claimed from the sea- The water has
been dyked out, and many parts of the
country that were the bottom of the
sea are now dry land, and, though be-
low sea level, form the homes of happy
and industrious communities, Years
ago, there were, along the lower banks
of the Mississippi, drowned lands, :"
subject to overflow and uninhabitable,
covering an area larger than the State
of New York. Many of these lands
have been reclaimed by means of levees.
Thus, by mans ingenuity, are the sur
face, climate and general physical con"
dition of the earth being changed.-N

ppellant excepted. Thereupon respond

appellant excepted. Thereupon respond
ent testified as follows:
well, at that time John thought he
had quarter interest in this property,
and he used to ask mefor the property
all the time. At that time he was drink
times il did not give him up that prop
erty he would do me up, or something. to
that effect / felt the influence of him
and / talked with Judge Ling about
it, and he said if give him decd Icould
disafirm it after a while, and keep him
quiet Tor the present. SO with that MAGE a..
deed to him of One-quarter interest in
the property. John would speak to me
about the matter, on an average, every
other day; he would say that he had an
interest, a quarter interest, in the prop
erty, and that he wanted it, he wanted
deed to that property"
think the court erred in overriding
the objection to this testimony to the pos
sible,. If not probable, prejudice of the
appellant. The conveyance Of February
10, 1887, under the circumstances of Johns
claim and demand, tended to justify an
inference that the respondent then recog
nlzed the trust and his obligation to con-
vey the property to John, which corrob-
CRATES and strengthens the other evidence
OF the trust; but, if the conveyance was
coerced by duress of any kind, no such
inference could be drawn. Why, if re-
spondent did not recognize the trust, did
he execute the deed OF February 10. 1887?
This question, so pertinent under the cir
cumstances, is answered by evidence of
duress. But, since the execution of the
deed was expressly admitted by respond
ents pleadings, and the duress sought to
be proved was affirmative matter in
avoidance of the deed, it should have been
specially pleaded; else no evidence to
prove it should have been admitted

The only matter pleaded in avoidance
OF the deed is the minority of the respond
ent, which, we have seen, is not available
ii the respondent held the property in
trust as alleged, and as the evidence tends
to prove.
For the error in admitting respondents
testimony as to duress. think the judg-
ment and order should be reversed and
the causes remanded for o new trial.

concur in the foregoing opinion, but
go further. think it would make no
difference ii the duress were pleaded in
the fullest manner. The deed of the re-
spondent can no more be avoided on the
ground OF duress than it can on the ground
OF minority. A court OF equity will not
lend its assistance to man to set aside on
the ground OF duress an execution of a
valid trust. That would be to assist a
fraud.
This question fairly arises, and if it be
not disposed of now the case will proba-
bly, come back again. HAYNE, G.

the Recorders Office the plans and speci-
fications for the building. But this con-
tract was made after the amendment of
1887 to Section llS3. C. G. P, and in that
amendment it is not specified that any
plans or specifications shall be filed, nor
Is II necessary to proper memorandum
that they should be.
In his reply brief 70. 81, he presses this
point no further but claims that the
memorandum filed is insufficient be-
cause 1t does not specify the time men
TONED III the contract for making pay
ments, and is not a memorandum of the
contract as to payments. The memoran-
dunn, among other things, contains this:
said Helm to be paid s., 500 for all work,
labor and material; three-fourths thereof
payable In inStallmentS as work pro-
crossed. tSaid Norton to pay the ma
terial men, laborers and mechanics upon
the written order of said Helm laborers
and mechanics to be paid weekly during
the progress of the work until said three
fourths is exhausted.) The other one
fourth payable in thirty-five days after
the final completion of the contract"
(Fol. l2l-2.)
We do not see but what this is sub
stantial statement of "the amounts Of all
partial payments, together with the times
when such payments shall be due and
payable" as set out in the contract and re-
CURED to be in the memorandum under
Section 11S3, C. G. p.
The point is also made that certain of
the veritications to some of the claims of
lien are insufficient. But we see no merit in
1t; 1t is only required that the verifcation
should state that the claim is true without
setting out the particulars which the law
requires to be contained in the body of
the claim. (Arata VS.. Tellurium G. Il S.
NJ. Co., 65 Cal. 342).
This disposes OF all the material ques-
tons argued on the appeal, and it APP
pears that the defendant, Norton, did not
retain for thirty-fiye days after the final
completion of the work and contract and
pay it over to those entitled thereto,
twenty-five per cent. of the contract
price of S. 800, and that he is responsible
to that extent, but no further, to those
who make good their claim to it, but the
judgments rendered are for more than
that amount.
For the reasons heretofore stated, we
advise that the Judgment and order be re-
yersed and the cause remanded for new
trial. FooTE. c..
