The surprising part of it, to ll l1_0\'ice, is that the color of the smoke dwindles so fast that the fireman seems ,to have barely time to straighten the kinks out of his back, and perhaps to set the engine bell a-clanging for a crossing °f'*’~ S_l'-M100. before the thinning smoke gives its ever-recurring warning.

With coke, he simply bum" U' N88. ioiid fire at the outset, and i lets it burn unreplenlshed until just as ,the train is sliding on its gathered head- ,WHY into the Lynn station. The differ- ence is that in order to keep the fire ag its hottest with coal, the fuel has to be” used a little at a time and spread in a thin layer, that it may burn quickly; while the coke firegives a grand heat A and lasts mugh longer. _I _ It is ordinarily i-epieniniiefi whip, the train is nearing a stoppingplace, because a change is coming now, and wherever coke, is used on a locomotive one will find A the Hreman’s work, in a way; revolugign- ized. The fireman himself looks cleaner, for one thing. He can do his work with- out getting covered with soot.

More steam than anything else comes from the stack, and it has no story for the fireman. Best of all, the fireman needs no story, for the incessant firing is done away with.

I The Indian Empire is at present gov- on the basis of a competitive examination ‘ there is a Vicerory and Council, who form, the executive and legislative head, and ’ under them are Governors and Lieuten-, ant-Governors over the various provinces; under these there are district magistrates, ! commonly called collectors, in each dis- 5, trict. The districts have an average popn- 1; lation of 850,000 souls. ,‘, This system of government was intro- U duced after the Mutiny in 1857. It may , be said, in general terms, that the present Government is as ellicicnt and benevolent ,_ in its character as its predecessor (the East India Conipan_v's Government) was selfish and irritating. It would require ai volume to enumerate the works of far- i seeing benevolence carried out by tlief; present Government of India. An Arn-In erican missionary, who is also the son 0_1 3 an American missionary, who has spent? the most of his life in India, wrote in an official report n few days ago. “The Indian Government is, in the circum- stances, the best Government that the world has ever seen." India is the only country in the world that has "a govern- ment of the people, for the people," Let us refer, as an illustration, to the i famine administration. CAXALS. The irrigation works carried out in"_ various parts of India are the most ex-‘ tensive in the world. The writer has, travelled for days through a district den-‘I sely populated by millions of people; where,twenty-five years ago, there was nothing but asandy waste. In the Madras , Presidency alone, 5,000,000 dwell in the delta of one great river, the Godavcri, Cotton, was dammed at various points so ‘E that 7,315 square miles have been brought __ under irrigation. The Ganges, Mahanadi, Krishna and Kaveri canal systems are 3 in the Punjab and Sindh where the most extensive irrigation works are to be, found. The following canals may be' mentioned: The Westem Jumna, ori- ginnlly dug in 1351, restored 200 years _latter by the Emperor Akbar, but quite silted up in 1751. When the British took possession of thecountry, the canal was reopened and greatly extended, and now _irrigates 350,000acres. The Ayra (Canal, completed in 1860, was eleven years under construction, and irrigates 537,150 acres. The Sirhind Canal waters 1,200,000 acres. The Swat Canal waters 120 Ollhmres.
