Great battles are really won before

Gods thoughts are not as our

to Him, there is something within
us which is more precious in His
sight. 1t is of far less consequence,
in any divine estimate of things, how
much man suffers than what man
is.-Austin Phelps.
Let us cultivate and reverently

o1,.o7 DIE OF SNAKE BITE.
Record of Single Year an India
Wild Beasts Kill 2O5f.

The number of persons killed in
india in 1905 by wild beasts was
1854, as against 2157 in the previous
year, and the number of deaths re-
ported from snake bite (21,797) is
also little smaller than that of 1904.
A feature of the 1905 returns is
the increase in the number of deaths,
both of human beings and cattle, at
tributed to leopards. 1t is suggested
by writer in Baily's Magazine that
these beasts seek their prey more
readily than they used to do in the.
neighborhood of villages. The fact
that more licenses to possess firearms
were held in 1905 than in the pre-
vious year may be noticed, but it has
long been recognized that it is i'm
possible to discover any relation be-
tween the number of firearms in ma
tive hands and the number of deaths
from wild beasts
During 1905 more dangerous wild
beasts were killed than in 1904. The
official figures are: Tigers, 1850:
leopards, 4S11; bears, 1896; wolves,
2016, and hyenas, 554 Well known
man-eating tigers were killed in sew
eral districts. A regular crusade
against wolves has been carried on in
parts of the Central Provinces, where
these brutes are most numerous and
most troublesome.
To the success of the campaign no
doubt may be attributed the great
decrease in the number of persons
killed by wolves-in 1904, 244; in
1905, only 153. Before dimissing
this subject it is worth noting that
the Bengal Government in September
last offered special reward of Rs.
zoo fer man-eating tiger which
killed seven persons last year in Coil
kera Forest. Singbhum district The
ordinary reward for tiger is Rs. 40.

sU8TERRANEAN FARM DRAINS.
How the Farmers of De kaib County,
Ill.,, Get Rid of Surface Water

How the Farmers of De KaIb County,
ILL.,, Get Rid of Surface Water.
The plan of the De Kalb County,
Ill, farmers to get rid of their surplus
drain water, by draining it into drain
wells of considerable depth, has be-
come so successful that it promises to
spread over large area of Northern
Illinois. When a farmer has no run,
creek or stream of any kind into which
to drain a lzw piece of land he digs a
well, and keeps ON downward until he
strikes a subterranean vein of water
He relies on this vein to carry off the
water that he drains into it, and fail
ures have been few. Any kind of a
flowing or artesian well that will
throw a stream out of the top of the
well will not answer, but a stream that
rises in the we'll to a certain height
marked as it's level will do the work
1t was the idea of Joseph F. Glidden,
the inventor of barbed wire to try this
plan of draining the water from low
piece of land. 1t has been in working
order for six years, and it is an out
and out success.
In the swamp is dug a pit six feet in
diameter and about as deep. In the
centre of the bottom of this pit is start
ed 4-inch bore that in some instances
has been sunk to depth of $50 feet.
The water from the subterranean fount
rises to various heights in the bore,
Vub
the bottom of the pit to the point to
which the water rises in the tube is the
fall, which ranges all the way from
forty to sixty feet.
The pits are now being built of brick
and concrete with an inner circular
wall about six inches from the outside
wall. This inner wall is constructed
of porous brick, through which water
finds its way. The water from the
swamp is drained through several lines
of ordinary drain pipe, and is emptied
into the space between the inside and
the outside wall of the pit The inside
| wall serves as a strainer that takes
out all sediment so as to prevent the
filling up of the deep bore.
The well sunk by Mr.. Glidden is on
his farm near Elva; it is la feet deep
The drain pipe is six inches in size,
and the well tube is only four inches.
Another we'll was sunk for George
| Fleming. This one was 240 feet deep,
with a S-inch tube. In one instance, a
living stream was found at the depth of
20 feet below the bottom of the pit.
OF course, the pit is properly cover
ed with planking to prevent cattle from
getting into it. One of the wells has
been in operation for six years, has
cost little or nothing for repairs. The
work on all the wells was done by Rob-
ert Ferguson, of De Kalb, ILL., One of
the wells, the deepest one, cost about
$500, which represents the total out
! lay. l.. Graft, Ravenswood, Ill.
