Because of the fundamental char.
acter of the process Of drainage, it,
effects are numerous and far reaching.
Ten Of the most important ones may
be given as follows:
1. Drainage removes the excess Of
water from the surface and from the
pores in the soil, thereby rendering 1t
more firm.
Poorly drained soil has the two-fold
disadvantage of lack Of stability and
firmness and great susceptibility to
physical notifications injurious to
most farm crops. Such injury may be
caused by any tillage operations. by
tramping and by the natural drying OF
the soil.
2. Drainage is directly operative to

dition into a de-

late as two months ago ne felt able to
make a journey to Minneapolis. where
he presided at the dedication of the
Fowler Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Church.. His last public appearance
was at the Metropolitan Temple on
Sunday following Washington's Birth

to his office in the Methodist building
in Fifth avenue was made last Mon
day. On Wednesday he was stricken
with the illness which resulted in his
death early today.
Bishop Fowler's long life was filled
with activity for the church and the
cause of education. Born in Burford
Ontario, in 1887. he was graduated from
Genesee College, now Syracuse Univer-
sity. in 1859, and was the valedictorian
of his class. He also headed his class

law, but never practised that profession.
He served as pastor of several churches
in Chicago during the next twelve
years, and In 1872 was elected president
of Northwestern University. He re-
NAMED at the head of that institution
four years and then became editor of
the Christian Advocate in New York.
He was made general missionary Sec

years later was elected bishop.
Bishop Fowler was acting as pastor
of one OF Chicago's churches at the
time of the great fire. and 1t was he
who suggested the plan of pooling the
interests of the different churches until
all should have time to rehabilitate
themselves. As missionary secretary he

CHICAGO, March 20.-James Berney,
an altar boy of the Roman Catholic
Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, pre-

of life in the crowded church yester-

A candle high up on the altar went

taper.
The lace TOOK fire, and startled cries
came from the congregation. Realizing
the danger of melting a panic, as we'll
as of making a misstep, which might
topple over many other blazing candles,
the boy stood perfectly still on the
steps, while the surplice blazed itself
out.
The whole congregation, after the
first cry of "Fire!" seemed hypnotized
by the boys cool heroism, and a stam-
pede was ayerted,
When taken into the vestIyroom 1t
was found that Berney a escaped
