The explanation of the cause of famine is this: “The monsoon eet in with heavy rains, which continued for weeks with little abatement. Such heavy rains were disastrous to the crops Ther the rains broke off and we have had but little since. The pres ent crops are so far withered up that if rain were to come it is feared that it would avail nothing to save them. Prices of food have everywhere gone up.

But some of the reports of those who are inthe midst of the sufferings doing mission or relief work are wonderfully graphic. One writes: “This famine has uearly killed me. It seems as if I should never get the cry for bread out of my ears.” Another who bas been specially engaged in helping to eave the chil dren from starvation writes thus for the children: Healthy,happy children make bet- ter men and women of usall. «s little a : care and planning before birth is They ane with _bones thrust | often more important than anything through their skin, with eyes turn-| that can be done after.

New York, Dec. 3-—Spain and Cuba are now engaged in bidding against each ether for one of the most formidable engines of war that has ever existed. If Cuba is success- ful in the biddinj contest, Spain’s vessels will be compelled to return to their home waters to escape anni hilation.

But down at Fort Wash- ington there is a little room in the depths of the works where there are tables with maps spread out, giving the exact location of every torpedo in the riyer. Up on the heights above there is carefully measured base line with bench marks at each end, over which two powerful transit telescopes would be set as soon as a hostile fleet had passed the capes at the mouth of the bay. These tele scopes would cover the whole of the torpedo field, and the observers would be in communication with each other and with the officer down in the map room at the fort.
