There is no need Of leaving openings
between tile joints for water to get into
them. They are not made like sewer
pipe. each one fitting into the enlarged
end Of the tile below 1t. Draintiles are
always laid end to end, and, however
carefully it is done, the joints will new
er closely fit against each other. Be-
sides. most tile is made in horseshoe
fashion and the edges set on the bottom
of the drain, the water usually rising
up in springs under them. Thus, except
after the surface has been flooded by
water from thawed snow which could
not sink through the strata of Ice under
it, very little water ever runs into tile
from the top. The tendency always is
for water to sink down into the water
courses at Or below the level Of the tile
bottom and to be forced into the tile
from the bottom. This is done through
natural water veins, and the water thus
comes through the soil without parti-
Gle of sediment. This can be seen by the
digger of the drain. The water under
his feet will be muddied by his tramp
ing in it, but let him leave the ditch for
dinner, and when he returns all the
sediment will have disappeared and the
stream be running with perfectly clear
water. This is the way it always runs
in the tile after the ditch is laid. The
only exception, says American Agricul-
turist, is where surface water breaks
into drain when newly laid. The drain
will need looking after for two or three
years, and such places must be closed as
quickly as possible, for the water flow
ing in the tile from above will carry
sediment and soon close it, especially if
there is an uneven fall in some part of
the drain.

few years, which opened the eyes Of thu ;
who before that felt inclined to sneer at
efforts for maintaining an efficient State
militia. While the department OF the

necessity Of securing troops that would

Volumes one and two OF the report of

respecting the Hawaiian Islands have

Senator Hale These valuable reports will
become more valuable with the lapse OF
years and there will inevitably be a time

will be astounding to the average person
