The Science of Drainage.


There is a protection of the soil during
drought by perfect drainage, but draining
the soil by the use OF tile differs very much
from drainage by d%itching. When tiles
average depth of four feet, while the open
or covered ditch may be but two or three
feet deep. The tile drain carries off the
water underneath in this manner, causing
the surplus TO go down. as deep as the tile
is laid. thus permitting the roots to follow
full of water it is in a cold condition, and
all that portion not flowing from the sur
face or draining into bitches sinks down
slowly. The tile drain carries of the lower
water so rapidly that the drainage OF the
upper portion becomes a matter of hours
instead of days. As the water below the
soil passes down into the drain tiles the
air and warmth enters, the soil being made
warmer and more friable In texture. per-
greater capacity TO the roots OF the plants
for dissolving the plant food in the soil.
Undrained soil may apparently be dry
and friable near the surface. even below
the depth of the plow. but the subsoil may
be cold, wet and clammy. When the roots
of plants reach this subsoil the cold en-
countered and the slow chemical reaction
of the atoms offer no inducement to the
roots to seek nourishment. but when this
cold water is carried down and the soil
is warmed aad becomes friable there is
such an increase in depth or root, with
greater expanse, as to permit the plants
drought, as the roots are able to go TO
whatever depth the tile may be placed. A
cOmpacted soil Will cause the water TO How
off on. the surface, but the underdrailed
soil, having become friable, has greater
capacity of absorption and retains moisture
by reason of the finer division OF its parti-
cles. Drought destroys some plants by cut
ting off the food supply, there not being
sufficient moisture to render the substances
soluble, but when the soil is underdrained
to the depth of four or five feet there Is
not only more moisture in the lower soil,
but from four TO ten times the amount OF
roots to supply the plants.
Although by drainage the soil is rendered
more retentive OF moisture during drought,
the excess during the periods of satura-
ton (as was the case a few days ago. is
carried of more completely than by ditch
ing, and with less liability of loss of plant
food, as well as avoiding ~unsightly and
i"nconvenient bitches. As the rains pass
down they carry nitric and carbonic acids.
which are solvents of the soils, as well
as ammonia. These substances are arrested
and absorbed by the soil, and perform valu-
able service In the preparations OF plant
food. Drainage is a safeguard against wet
soils and an excess of moistur~, therefore,
and keeps the soil warm and facilitates
termination and growth. The cost of tile
drainage is no greater than ditching and
keeping the open drains clean and in re-
pair, while the gain I'm e~arliness of time
of planting. greater ease in preparing the
soil. and protection against droughts and
freshets cannot well be estimated.

Howells on Dante.

Again say it is great pity that crit,-
cism is not honest about tho masterpieces
of literature and does not confess that they
are not every moment mastery; that they
are often dull and tough and dry, as is
certainly the case with Dante's, writes
William Dean Howells in The Ladies'
Home Journal. Some day perhaps we
shall have this way of stating literature.
and the luver of it will not feel obliged to
cheat himself into the belief that il he is
not always enjoying himself it is his own
fault. At any rate, I will permit myself
the luxury of frankly saying that while I
had deep sense of the majesty and gran
deur of Dante's design many points Of its
execution bored me, and that the inter
mixture of small local facts and neighbor-
hood history in the fabric of his lofty crea-
ton is no part of its noblest effect. What
Is marvellous in it is its expression of
Dante's personality, and can never think
that his personalities enhance it's greatness
as work of art. enjoyed them, how
ever, and enjoyed them the more as the
innumerable perspectives of italian history
began to open all about me. Then indeed
understood the origins If did not un-
derstand the aims of Dante.

Rob Roy, the Philanthropist.

During more than 40 years John Mac
Gregor (Rob Roy) was great exemplar OF
the best sort of philanthropy. There was
some narrowness, perhaps bigotry, in his
religious creed, but none whatever IN his
practice. He was a man of considerable
attainments in literature, science, art and
music Above all, he was born adven-,
turer, as his voyages in his Rob Roy
canoe testify, and all the profits that he
obtained from his books and lectures were
handed over to the charities-charittes OF
the best sort-in which he was interested.
BY lecturing alone he earned and thus
applied f10, 200, and having set himself to
collect that sum he persevered in the work
during several years, and after his health
had begun to fail, until the total had been
reached Dying in 1892, at the age of 81,
he left record of steady heroism and of
real service to his fellow men which is al
most unique.

An rN, shaped Chimney.

The ever prevailing problem of how to
do away with the London smoke has been
solved, it is reported, by Colonel Dnller Of
the Belgian engineers, who has discovered
an easy and economic method of disposing
Of it. The method is thus described: The
smoke enters a chimney shaped like the
letter N. At the bottom of the left hand
leg it is met by q small jet of steam. which
saturates the smoke and accelerates the
draft. At the top Of the eleg a spray of water
drives down the SCOT and noxious products,
allowing only almost pure vapor to escape
up the last leg. Half the acids and 81 per
cent Of the SCOT are thus removed. They
are sent down into the sewers, where they
act as disinfectants. The system can be
applied to factory for about 5000, and to
. single dwelling house for $I2 or sl5.-
