THE THREATENED FAMINE IN IN /

Our latest news from India is Of
grave import That there win be scar
city nf food and widespread local dis
tress in several important provinces is /
set down as inevitable. and there are
fears of absolute famine in many Of
the affected districts. But it viii be
observed with pleasure that. whatever
the event may prove TO be. Mr. Wood
burn. in his statement to the Viceroys
Legislative Council. and the viceroy
himself in his remarks upon it. and in
his message TO the Indian secretary
speak with perfect confidence as to the
ability of the government to take meas
ures TO relieve the anticipated distress.
The government rs now in q stronger
position than it has ever been before.
More miles of railway are open, more
irrigation works have been completed,
and where irrigation is insufficient it
viii be possible tO-convey food boy rail
to the places In most urgent need of it.
It was IN The absence of such facilities
as these that the great Orissa and My
sore famines We're so destructive TO hui
man life. There was food available in
abundance but there were no means Of
transporting it to the famine-stricken
regions where the people were perish
ing from want This viii never happen
again in the course of any new famine,
and we may expect with confidence
that. however severe and however wide
spread the distress, it will not be ac-
companied by the extreme suffering
which earlier famines have entaiied.
To establish relief works is never an
economical way of getting the work
done, but there is no need that the
money spent on them should be set
down as so much wasted. The increase
/ of railways and of canals, but espe-
cially of railways, is, Lord Lytton de-
clared, the best help to the government
towards meeting the attacks Of famine

therefore, to understand the theories OF
drainage, rainfall, evaporation and abb
sorption are matters of the utmost mo-

sucn a debt as to science, for by its
means the waste places of the earth
can be made pepductive, and by the
introduction of new chemical elements
malarial and unwholesome soils are
made fertile and transformed into
healthy and agreeable dwelling places.
