RAINS HELP INDIAN VILLAGE
Moisture and Region 10 Noted
for Good Cattle.

Sylhet Is a city In the most curious
part of India-the great. low lying,
jungly. flooded. tea and rice districts
Of the far Southeast. Sylhet tea is
known all over the peninsula.
So low do these regions lie that the
heavy rains Of the rainy season result
In their being flooded for many months
Of the year. Though far inland. after
the rains this is literally a sea, where
all travel is by boat and even ships of
some size can navigate. The torren-
tial downpours food the lower parts Of
the country to a depth of many feet.
There is one little village at the base
Of the Khasia hills which had a meas
ured rainfall of 80 feet In one year,
an exchange says.
The villages of this curious district
about Sylhet are set on the crest of
hills. After the rains fall they are Is
lands. The people are very expert
boatmen and the children can swim
almost as soon al they can walk.
This Is probably the only part of In
dia where the canoe is in use. A craft
not unlike the American Is manufac-
tured by following out a tree trunk
very thin. Larger canoes, propelled
by 20 paddles, are made In the same
way, and canoe racing is one Of the
principal sports.
The villagers of these island villages
keep diminutive cattle which they feed
largely on marsh grasses cut from
boats. As a result of abundant feed
and lack of exercise, the cows grow
fat and sleek to a degree unusual
among the lean Indian cattle. Their
milk, butter and cheese are known as
delicacies In the nearby cities. These
same villages raise unusually fine rice,
by planting before the rains begin.
AS the country is flooded, the stalks
of the rice grow with the rising sur
lace Of me waters, SO that rice staig'
ten feet long may be seen .then the
floods recede.

Evolution Of Wheeled Vehicles.

When the world awakened from Its
apparent long sleep Of the middle ages,
during which the art of vehicle CON
StructiOn, like all other arts. sank into
oblivion, manufacturing was revived
and from this awakening, about 140O
A. D.. marked improvements are found.
Emperors and kings We'd with each
other In the effort TO outshine and out
class one another. and through this
rivalry we note substantial advance
ment. In 1850 A. d. 1t is said there
were only three coaches In Paris. and
within the next century we find the
feudal lords throughout continental
Europe supplying themselves with the
most e%xtravagant and luxurious of
equipages. some costing more than
$4,000 each.
The artists skill was employed,
poets san beautiful songs In their
praise, and the epidemic spread. ere
ating an eager desire upon all TO out
rival their neighbors.

MONK FIRST TO USE CORK
Discovery That 10 Universally Made
Use OF Was the Result Of
Chance.

The discovery of cork for shoppers
is ascribed to the monk Don Perignon,
who managed the cellars of the abbey
of Haut villiers in 1875. One day he
ran short of the usual stoppering,
which was pads of hemp or cloth
stepped in oil, and being something OF
a botanlst. he had noticed that the out
er layer of the bark Of certain species
of the oak tree was Of comparatively
soft wood. He procured some OF this
porous material and shaped II so that
IL would fit into some partially fer
mented bottles of wine.
Later on opening the bottles he
found that the effect of the confined
carbonic acid gas which this new stop
per did not allow to escape acted on
the wine so as to make II e~ffervesce.
From then on for a long time 1t was
supposed that this phenomena was due
to the action of the cork on the wine.
and ~effervesclng or kissing wine be
came the rage. E~nterprising mer-
chants saw the possibilities of this
wood, and they introduced It for gen.
eral purposes as shoppers.

have to mention one instance per-
formed by a chaplain, Captain Hall by
name, in the brigade on our left, be-
cause II particularly appealed to me.
A chaplain is not a fighting man he
Is recognized as a no~ncombatant and
carries nc arms. In a charge or trench
raid the soldier gets a feeling Of con-
idence from contact with his rife, re-
~volver. or bomb he is carrying. He has
something to protect himself with,
something with which he can infict
harm on the enemy-in other words,
he is able to get his own back.
But the chaplain is empty-handed.
and is at the mercy of the enemy IL
he encounters them, so 1t is doubly
brave for him to go over the top. under
fire. and bring In wounded. Also a
chaplain is not required by the kings
regulations to go over In a charge. hut
this one did, made three trips under
the hottest kind Of fire, each time re-
turning with a wounded man on his
back. On the third trip he received
a bullet through his left arm, but never
reported the matter TO the doctor until
late that night-just spent his time adj

NV First Official Bath.

: Right behind our rest billet was a
large creek about ten feet deep and
twenty feet across. and II was a habit
Of the company TO avail themselves of
an opportunity to take a swim and at
the same time thoroughly wash them
selves and their underwear when on
their own. We were having a spell Of
hot weather, and these baths to us
were a luxury. The Tommies would
splash around In the water and then
come out and sit In the sun and have
what they termed a shirt hunt" At
FIRST we tried to drown the coolies"
but they also seemed TO enjoy the bath.
One Sunday morning the whole sec
ton was In the creek and we were hav-
ing a gay time, when the sergeant ma
jor appeared on the scene He came
to the edge Of the creek and ordered:
"Come out of II. Get your equipment
on drill order and fall In for bath
parade. Look lively, my hearties. You
have only got fifteen minutes" A howl
of indignation from the creek greeted
this order, but out we came. Disci-
pline Is discipline. We lined up In
front of our billet with rifles and bay
onets (why you need rifles and bayo-
nets to take a bath gets mel. a full
quota of ammunition, and our tin hats.
Each man had a piece of soap n q
towel. After an eight-kilo march along
a dusty road. with an occasional shell
whistling overhead, we arrived at a
little squat frame building upon the
bank of a creek. Nailed over the door
of this building was a large sign which
read Divisional Baths" In a wooden
shed In the rear we could hear a
wheezy Old engine pumping water.
We lined up In front of the baths,
soaked with perspiration. and piled
our rifles into stacks. A sergeant Of
the II. A. NJ. C. with q yellow band
around his left arm on which was

We entered a small room. where we

then filed into the bathroom. In here
there we're fifteen tubs (barrels sawed
In two) half full of water. Each tub
contained a piece of laundry soap. The
sergeant informed us that we had Just
Twelve minutes In which 10 take our
baths. Soaplng ourselves all over, we
