Monsoon of Central India.
From the Engineering Magazine.


Hyderabad ike the rest of the center
and south of India, depends for its: pros
perity on the southwest monsoon. This,
setting in in Ceylon soon after the mid
Gle of May. works its way up the west
coast, and, overcoming. as it gains its full
strength the barrier of the western
Ghauts, advances steadily across the Dec
can. Its normal date for reaching the Hy-
derabad state is June ). 1t continues, with
the wind prevailing from the southwest,
till beyond the middle of September. when
the wind, gradually veering around by west
and north 10 the northeast. brings what
appears to be return monsoon, but what
probably Is the current of the southwest
monsoon, which, passing from the COM
mencemnt of the rains in June, up
the east coast and thence to the north
west up the Gangetic valley. has at
tanned greater strength than that which
is then exercised by the waning west
coast current and makes Itself felt
in the central provinces and the south. To
this return current Hyderabad is often in
debted for heavy falls that save the coun-
try from the scarcity that might follow a
lack of strength in the original southwest
current.

Between Human and Shansi lie the mines

stretches from the Yang tse- Kiang to the
Hoang-ho. This last river forms the south

oo0.o00 tons of the best anthracite waiting
to be tapped The coal measures of this
province are found on a plateau between
2,G10 and 5000 feet above the sea at its
southeastern extremity and the main bed
covers over 1900 square miles The aver
age Width of the seams is nearly twenty
feet.
The crowning merit Of the Shansi coal
fields is that in Human. iron is found
atundantly in several strata OF the coal
formation. The natives use only one kind
OF this ore-a kind that melts readily with

Our Washington Correspondent
says: Senator Hanna isn't worrying
even little bit over the alleged in
tcntion of those who failed In their
efforts to prevent his election to the
Senate by the Ohio Legislature to
investigate the matter. On the
contrary, he is willing to render all
the assistance in his power In an in
vestigation that may be made, and to
appear before the legislative COM
mittee whenever he Is wanted. Mr..
Hanna's Ohio enemies failed in their
efforts to make Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas, chairman of the democratic
National Committee, their agent on
the floor of the senate to the extent
Of Offering and pressing resolution
against Mr.. Hanna's right to his
seat. When Senator Jones asked for
evidence to support such resolution
and none was produced, he declined
to have anything to do with 1t.

Teller, declaring u. s. bonds to be

will play no more important part in
the financial policy OF the govern

which was about 20 years ago adopt
ed by both, House and Senate. Thii
time it will not even get favorably
reported to the House. In fact the
only object sought by forcing thii
resolution to the front at this time
is the compelling of Senators Murphy

be reelected, to come out for OF

This is an unpleasant fact for the
Democratic editors who have been
gloating over the fact that the ex'
portations for October, 1897, were Q
few hundred thousand dollars les,
than those of October, 1895, and
were attributlng the decrease to the
Dingley law. When It is seen how
ever, that the November exports fol
1896 were over e6, 900, 900 less thar
this year. November 1895 $22. 900, O0(
less and those of November 1894
s24, 900, 900, the absolute absurdity Of
the Democratic position Is evident.
