THE LAND OF FAMINES.
Farmers of India Have No Power to
Plan or Provide for the
Future.

Famines in India are not due al
together to failure of the crop in
the famine regions. The country
is inhabited by a race of agricul-
turists who seem to be unable to
save anything, writes Rev j. E.
Scott in his book, "In Famine
Land" Frugality and thrift are
to them almost unknown. They
have no power to plan for the flu
ture. If nature is propitious, they
get living; if the crop fails, they
fail with it.
In Rajputana, at the time of
famine, grain poured in from the
northwest provinces and else
where in such quantities that rail
way companies and the merchants
realized large Profits, and wheat
was on sale at reasonable price /;
but as the poor peasant had no
money he must starve to death
with food at his door.
At many of the railway stations
Mr.. Scott saw thousands of fat
pigeons gorging themselves with
grain from the loaded wagons on
the siding, while apathetic native
officials stood by and saw the pre-
cious food devoured in the sight
of scores of miserable famine
stricken villagers who cried
aloud for food. So tame had the
pigeons become that Mr.. Scott had
no difficulty in catching one, but
he was Immediately warned by a
policeman that there was no cor
der" to modest them. The pigeons
would have furnished enough
food to keep a whole village from
starving to death; but the high
caste Hindu would rather die of
starvation than kill and eat one of
them.

Ocean as Motive Power

A writer in the Paris Revue des
Deux Mondes, M. CASTOR Cadoux, has
drawn fancy picture Of that happy
time when London. Paris and Berlin
win be lighted and warmed by electric
energy derived from the sea. InstGose
economic days. sea mills viii skirt the
shore; they viii convert the rise and
fan Of the tides into electricity, which
wires win conduct to the capital cit
les to do work. to illuminate and to
warm. No more miners, we may sup
pose, pursuing their dangerous yoca-
tions under ground, and no more gas
lights polluting the air we Breathe
and smokeladen London fogs will
have ceased forever AS the moon
does in a single tide. on but a short
stretch Of coast line, more wore than
all our steam engines, here is a linn
itless supply Of energy. The idea is
charming, not the least delightful part
of il being the satisfaction Of yoking
the old satellite to our machinery and
making her run our trains and drive
our factoriesl Hitherto the least
available natural source Of electricity
has been the sea.

Of. She wore it that day. The sun
was shining brilliantly: the air seem

Enable Observers to Detect Presence

At time when considerable atten.

try Of Ceylon. and the government is
taking extensive measures to protect
the oyster fisheries there, it is OF in
terest to record a discovery recently
communicated 20 the Paris Academy

using the Roentgen rays to examine
the oysters. It has been found that
these rays enable an observer to Sc
termine at once whether a living oys-
ter contains a pearl or not without in
jury to the animal, and in case the
pearl is small the oyster may be re-.
placed in the bed until further growth
takes place and the desired size is
reached In the scientific examination
Of the pearl oysters in Ceylon It has
been ascertained that the popular be-
lief that the nuclei Of pearls are
formed by minute grains Of sand or.
other particles holds good in but few
instances. and that in most cases the
pearls or pearly excrescences are pro
duced by the irritation Of boring
sponges and burrowing worms. The
