Instruction on Designing
Drainage Improvements

Especial Correspondence to the starr
WASHINGTON. November 21.-In
designing drainage improvements for
a district, according to a statemen,
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture, the all-important consideration is
the NAHUM rate at which the water
must be removed. This run-off, as it
is called must in nearly all cases be
determined without actual measure
ment of the flood flow. 1t is usually
assumed according to some empirical
formula that is limited in application
to conditions that may or may not be
similar to those of the case in land,
the result tempered by the engineers
! Judgment and experience.
Run-off is greatly affected by the
amount and the distribution of the
rainfall, the slopes of the land sur

LONDON, November 23.-The an
nouncement issued in the London Ga
zette canceling the appointment of the
Rev. Frederick Percival Farrar as
chaplain in ordinary and domestic
chaplain to the king, and as honorary
domestic chaplain to Queen Alexandra
occasioned great surprise and consid-
cradle speculation as to the cause of
this unexpected announcement, which
was made from the lord chamberlain's
office.
When the facts were first brought to
the notice of the authorities powerful
influences were Immediately set to
work with a view of enabling Mr.. Far
rar to escape before the scandal be-
came public property and before a
warrant for his arrest could be is
sued. These powerful friends it is
believed, have been able to accomplish
this, together with those other in
fluences which are most DESTROYS to
keep the kings name from being mix
ed with such a miserable affair.
Refused to Explain,
Strange as it may seem, not breath
of suspicion has been publicly connect
ed with Mr.. Farrar. Finally, however,
the complaints of the alleged happen
ings in Sandringham compelled the
officials to take notice, and as result
the matter was laid before the lord
chamberlain, who demanded eXplana-
lions.
These the chaplain was unable to
give, as he neither would deny nor
confirm the statement At the same
time Mr.. Farrar was given certain
hints that the sooner he made himself
scarce the better it would be for him
and all concerned. He has undoubted
ly taken the hint and is now probably
a fugitive abroad, having had nearly a
fortnight in which to settle up his
affairs and escape.

face, the character of the soil. and the
kind of vegetation. Also, from two
drainage basins much different in size,
but otherwise similar, the food flow
from the larger basin will be the
smaller per unit of acre. The outline
of the basin and the arrangement Of
drainage channels further affect the
rate of flow. Detailed investigations
of run-off have been made during the
year in Arkansas, Louisiana. Missis-
sippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. The
flood flow from various areas of
known size and character have been
measured to determine the relation of
the several factors. At the same time
investigations and gagings OF natural
and artificial watercourses nave been
made to determine their capacities
under different conditions of clearness
and uniformity of channel.

GREATEST FALL
OF RAIN EVER

WASHINGTON November %
From Father Algues weather observd-
tory at Manila comes a record of the
greatest rainfall in the history of me-
Iteorology, a storm which overwhelmed
western Luzon, and especially Baguic
last July. Father Jose Coronas, the as
sistant director of the Manila Obser-
yatory, has issued a special bulletin
to forestall the great mass of CORE
spondence with meteorologists which
otherwise would follow the spreading
of the news of the remarkable occur
renee.
There were three typhoons between
July II and August 2-an unprece-
denied event-but the greatest of the
storms was one that ragged from July
II to II. The figures show that in the
first three days of this preiod the rain
fall reached total of over eighty
eight inches while in the first twenty
four hours thirty-two inches of water
fell from the skies. The acting di-
rector says: I'VE do not know, OF
any instance in which similar torren-
tial rains have been registered in any
other part of the globe"
| With this explanation at hand, the
officials of the insular bureau now
understand the almost total destruc-
ton of the magnificent military road
| in Baguic.

that generally they are not found to
