it is the wettest region on the face of the
earth. Mr. Blandford. at meeting of the
London Meteorological society read a
paper entitled Rainfall ut Cherr i'uuji,'
in which he presented incoutestaLle proof
of the extreme moisture of the country
in question. The records go back for
nearly 65 years, but prior to 1872 are
rather incomplete. there being several
whole years in which no record WAS kept
Carefully complied data from these
weather Journals. however incomplete
as they are, prove that quite frequently
during the Summer, say from May TO
September, the rainfall for single month
ranges from 100 to 2i2 inches. Think Of
it! Nearly IS feet Of precipitation in 30
days. Colonel Sir Henry Yule's register
for the year 1891 shows that there were
264 inches of rainfall during the month
of August. That was something phenom-
email even for Assam, however. and is
not taken into account in the deductions

ing our gold ont of the treasury. No,
sir. The trouble is with the pluggers-
the high toned tooth pluggers. They are
ramming cool s. 600, 900 worth of gold
away into the back teeth of the Ameri-
can people every year. That means just
so much Of the yellow metal lost to trade
and commerce every II months-lost
completely and irretrievably. This must
be stopped. Let congress pass a law pro-
hibiting the use of gold i'll filling teeth.
and the monetary pressure will begin to
ease ny in no time. When our gold is
drawn away from us by business trans
actions with foreign nations, we can get
it back in due time through the natural
processes of trade. but when it is plugged
away in the cavernous molars of our
purse proud dudes and millionaires it is
locked up so tight that a writ of foreign
attachment couldn't reach it. This bust

noon were afforded hearty laugh by the
predicament . teamster found himself IN.
The man was driving truck, heavily
! loaded With bags OF grain. one of the
bags. containing oats, burst and spilled ITS
contents on the street. The driver got
down from his seat and began to gather up
the scattered oats. He filed the bag half
full, and then no matter how much more he
put in he seemed TO tini as many left on
= the street The fact was, he did not notice
the large hole in the bag that resulted from
its bursting and through which the oats fell
out as fast as he put them in the bag.
After Il time he discovered the trouble,
remedied it. filled the bag and drove off.
