ed by the present famine. of the magni-
tude and terrible ma ure of which We are
being daily informed.
It is computed that from the year 1910
until 1879, India has been visited in DIFF
ferent parts by no less than. thirty-one
famnes, with a loss to human life di-
rec:ly and indirectly of the truly appalling
total of 27C00,0O0 A glance at the map of
India viii show the enormous extent Of
territory subject to these dread vista
tons. With the exception of the strip of
coast beneath the mountains from Bonn
bay to Cape Cormorln, the greater part
of the provinces of Assam and Burmah,
together with the deltaic districts at the
head of the Bay of Bengal, the rest of the
peninsula is liable to drought and conse-
quent famine; with forty millions of peo-
pie at all times on the verge of s<arva-
ton.
In spite of the vast sums expended unon
irrigation works. and the general develop
ment of the country under British aus
piccs, the hopelessness of the situation Is
expressed by an eminent Anslo-Indian
authority recently deceased. who says
that no compromising influences can pre-
vent these recurring periods of continu-
uous drought with which large provinces
of India are afflicted. Water works on II
scale adequate TO guarantee the' whole
of India from drought, not only exceed
the possibilities OF finance; but are beyond
the reach of engineering skill.
