dosort," In which, without Irrlntlon, iiRrl

of iinuilKi-ntlou has swept, with ouch sums-sl-lng

Iwforo 1L It Is nliuost universally believed
In thli region thnt sottlontout nml tree plant

nott thlnkit other causes nro Involved. An
oxmiilnntlon of Iwth tlio uuiiunl mid tlio sea
sonal distribution of tlio rainfall in twenty
six stations whero rnlnfnll records lmvo boon
kept for lout; period, uccordhitf to Mr. (Ian
nott, show that theso hnvo undergone no

that region. "Wo nmy," says ho, "thero
forn dismiss ris IkiscIcss thu opular Idea of
nu incroaso In rainfall, cither niimml or dur
ing the growing souson, nml look elsewhere
for nn explanation of tlio phenomena of sot
tlotnent which thu plaint present."
Kxjicrlcneo has shown that n much smnllor
quantity of rain In essential thnn was sup
posed, ami to his mind, thcro Ik little moro to
Im wild. Cultivation ndds greatly to tho
economy of tho rnlnfnll. Tho surfueo of tlio
plains In mi iiucultlvntd conditli Is mainly
bare, hard ground, hut nightly protected by
its covering of grasses. From such n surfneo
tho rain Hows oir freely, nml nn unusually
largo proportion of it finds its way into tho
streams, whilo n correspondingly small pro.
iwrtlon sinks into tho ground. Tho farmer,
with plow mid harrow, changes nil this, nml
retains lu tho soil most of tho rnlnfnll. From
yenr to yenr tho supply in tho soil Increases,
bo that tho subsoil becomes in tlmo a reser
voir from which tho surfneo soil may draw
in times of drought, Furthermore, tho
flcunty vegetation olTers llttlo protection

tho baircu plains, but tho mtiplcr maiitlo
which cultivation sprendi over tho soil pro
