exclusively from evaporation from the
Indian Ocean and the bays on either
side of the peninsular. The distribu-
ton OF this rainfall is extremely varied,
ranging from a couple of inches year,
or in some sections practically nothing,
10 over 600 inches, which falls in a
limited area in Assam. AT Chara Pun
81 Assam, the maximum rainfall of
the world is reached in an average
annual precipitation of 1863 inches while
at this place in 1861, thirty inches fell
in "a hours and 305 innches fell during
the year. These figures can be appre-
ciated when it is remembered that the
annual rainfall In the Atlantic States
80 10 IS inches and that In the West,
farming Is conducted without irriga-
ton on as low an annual rainfall as
15 TO is inches.
STUPENDOUS IRRIGATION WORKS
The irrigation works of India are the
vasteSt in the world, watering over
20.00O.O00 acres of fertile soil. The gov
eminent has entire control over all
sources of water supply and so exer-
cises 1t as to meke 1t the greatest bene-
fit to the community at large. Each
province has separate department
known as the irrigation branch, at the
head OF which is n chief engineer, while
over all the chief engineers Is an in
spector general Of irrigation. The In
dian government is greatly in favor of
the extension of irrigation works. 1t
fosters the use of irrigation waters by
placing the water rates very low or
by even giving the water away in years
of scarcity. The Indian irrigation
works have generally been or the most
substantial and ndestructibie char
acter. of solid masonry and great
strength. In some instances canals of
immense volumes of water are carried
clear over other rivers.
There are in India two classes of
irrigation works which may be termed
productive and protective works. In
general. protective works have been
constructed as protection against fa-
mine. such as now stares India in the
face. and they act in the ameioration
of such disasters in two ways. First
they are constructed during famine
times to give employment to the people
and furnish them money and food for
their Sustenance: and second, after
their construction, they are expected TO
furnish protection against future fam
ines in those districts. Most of these
protective works consist of storage re-
servoirs, but they have been construct
ed i'll regions semi-arid, and they have
generally proven financial failures
while the so-called productive" works
have earned good interest on the in
vestment. From all OF which we can
learn lesson applicable to Americas
arid west. The productive works have
been constructed in arid regions so bar
rem and devoid of water that nobody
could dive there to produce crops of
any sort without irrigation. therefore
those who immigrated to the country
were compelled to use the water and
make the works do full duty. On the
ether hand the protective works have
been built in seml-arid regions where
crops can often be raised under the ma
tural rainfall. so that the works have
seasons.

Plans for charity work among the
confederate poor were formed. and the
children themselves suggested that q
& certain amount be given to the old
Confederate Veteran who sells papers
on Main street.
A most interesting feature of the
meeting was the reading of THE con-
quered Banner" by the president, and
it was beautiful to see the interest
manifested by these little children in
matters concerning The Lost Cause.
The children decided to donate $3.50 to
The Father Ryan Memorial fund.
The gayel used at these meetings Is
of historical value. 1t was made by IL

people throughout the county

although there was a great deal
