Now however those works have been unavoidably stopped for want of funds, and a very large num) er of Persøis have in consequence come to the various stations beggars for relief. in Hissar for instance, where the limit of 500 had been found enough, 1500 were collected on the day of my visit. These were almost all able bodied, who ought to work for their daily food, but until work is satietioned, they in 131, he fed. If this be not soon given I fear that a much larger number of persous will absolutely require help than the revenues of the Fund could possible supply, and J hope the esore that no line will he lost in setting. ు new works into operation. The great want of the district seems to be the making of a good pucka road throughout, if possible from Sirsa to Rolls uck and the Commissioner finds; no difficulty in employing all in this work, although in other thore distressed districts it is confessedly too hard for the bulk of the half starved labourers. Upon the whole, from the most recent reports from the various relieving stations, the Secretary of the Local Relief Fund has given me the following estimate of the lowest amount կ at which the required relief can be calculated:— for Hissar 1200persousdailytobe fed ,, Hansee, 700 } ,, Futteeabad, 400 , Runneeah, 150 or 3,350 persons , Beneralla and Tohanah, 300 J for whom a daily ., Toshan, 300) expenditure will ,, Sewanwe, 2008 be required of , Babul, 100 about Rs. 950 per -- week, To meet this explenditure thay havề collected within the district a total sum of Rs. 5,823, which with the i i | | | l | > ○ Government equivelent, and themoney received from our Committee, will leave them a available balance at the end of the present month of about Rs. 7,000—that about Rs. 1,400a month for the next five months.

I hope it will prove sufficient if the works above mentioned are at once undertaken and the Committee must be guided by the future reports of the Local Committee, although 1 beiieve they may assume the above sum as coming very near the probable requirements of the district, for the next five mouths, I am, Sir, Your obdt. servt., (!.

As to Baden Powell, one of the most scientific men of his day, he was, indeed, nominally a clergyman, but virtually he was a man of bold experiment, determined to seek the truth for himself and in his own way. Whether or not he caught any glimpses of the truth I cannot say, but he certainly came in for a goodly share of clerical abuse. In any case he is as far beyond the
