lived in People who have not usually fail, ne Bir G. L. Molesworth the members of the Institution of Civil Engineers in his Presidential Address re- cently, to realise its magnitude and im- portance. With an area and population not much lea than the half ! Europe, it has enormous natural wealth and resources, ; great agricultural, mineral, or industrial coalfields, rich metalliferque And other mineral deposits, abundant cereals, and various botanical products. It is waiting only for further development. In One respect its resources are inexhaustible, for its great rivers afford zu unfailing source electrical power: and in a facare. not. perhaps, so remote as we think factories will gravitate to the neigh bourhood of its streams. Ittle has at present been done in setting the rivera to work, for the time has 1 ot yet oume; but they might be called now, as in the past, the heart's blood of India. Over a large part of that vast territory the rainfall is under- tain, and agriculture must be dependent on irrigation. This alone can avert the famines which, since history begin, have been the ncourge of Hindustan. Its Rulers, both in Ceylon and in India, recognised the fact at a very early period. The irrigation worka in the Island, some of which were made long before the Christian Era, are on a grand scale, and show remarkable skill, In India revorvoirs and canals, hardly less remark able, were constructed in various parts, especially under tho, Mogul Emperor. With the decline of their power the works began to go out of repair, and are now in many places useless. In both countries wè have of late, and for the longer time in India, taken the matter seriously in band, no that in the near future the natives will

be at least as well off as they were three or four centuries ago. On the mainland about forty-four million acres are now irrigated,

One fact which the President mentioned needs no comment. The Grand Anicat, a dam soross the river Cauveri, was construct- ed in the second century. In 1836 it was restored by Sir Arthur Cotton at the cost of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds, and it now brings the Government an annual revenue of sixty-six thousand pounds. But agricultural products, like minerals and manufactures, are only locally valuable, in the absence of means of transport. Thirty- five years ago, during the famine in Orissa, there was no lack of grain in other districts but it could not be conveyed into the dis trassed area, &, though a million and a-half sterling was expended on relief works, one million persona-one fourth of the whole population of the province-perished from starvation.

Railways practically began in 1853, the dato of Lot Dalhousie's farseeing Minute

on railway policy, in which he sketched out

the great system of trunk line p

which was

afterwards carried out through the agency of Companies, inder a guarantee of the Brate. Sir G. L, Molesworth traces the development of this policy, but into this

Some of them in- deed, did put their clothes in the boats and the officers had to take possession of them and throw the clothes out on the dock again. On being stopped from taking to the boats the Lascars, if any thing, became more frightened than over, and for the next three nights refused to sleep in their {quarters, preferring Instead to lie on the deck close to the boats. Seeing that nothing could be ex- pected from the crew the officers at once set to work to do what they could to insure their safety, and next day the condenser was started making fresh water, and was worked to such good effect that when the steamer was abandoned there was a suffi.
