It is a very prevalent error that
drainage is only beneficial to low or
swamp lands; and that for. these sur
face drainage is all that is required.
There are many soils which are in
disputably upland which need under-
drainage as much as any swamp.—
There are many sandy soils which are
porous to the depth of a foot or more
which have a subsoil of impervious
clay, through which water cannot
pass, and which are thus always damp
and cold and consequently unproduc
tive, although they appear to be mel
low and fertile.
Stiff clay lands through which water
can penetrate but slowly, and which
in wet eeasons become saturated with
excessive moisture, are unproductive
because they are too wet for crops,
cannot be prepared in time, and can
not be cultivated when they need it,
and in dry weather they bake and
harden to such an extent as to become
impervious to the roots of plants, thus
suffering from excessive moisture and
from excessive drought, there being
no season which exactly suits them.
Barrel, the eminent French agricul
tural writer, and the author ot a stan
dard work on drainage, gives the fol
lowing “ external sigus of the want of
drainage
“ Whenever after a rain water stays
in the furrows, wherever stiff and
plastic earth adheres to the shoes;
wherever the foot of either man or
horse makes cavities that retain water,
like so many little cisterns; wherever
cattle are unable to penetrate without
sinking into a kind of mud ; wherever
the sun forms on the earth a bard
crust, slightly cracked, and compress
ing the roots of the plants as into a
vice ; wherever three or four days af
ter rain, slight depressions in the
ground show more moisture than oth
er parts ; wherever a stick forced into
the ground one foot and a half deep,
forms a hole like a little well, having
water standing at its bottom—there
one may affirm that drainage will pro
duce good effects.
When water stands on the surface,
after rain, or when it oozes from the
ioside, there is no doubt that drainage
will be the best improvement that
can be made.
In all the above cases vegetation
cannot easily take place; crops are
scanty, and often amount to nothiug ;
* * * draining only can ef
fect the cure and restore wholesome
ness to the ground and life to the
crops.”
The advantages of drainage are not
confined to he carrying off the surface
moisture. Among them the following
may be considered as most important.
Drainage, by removing the exces
sive moisture, enables the air and
water to permeate the soil, facilitates
the healthy decomposition of the in
organic or organic constituents and
promotes the assimilation by plants of
the nutritive substances which consti
tute their food.
It facilitates the “absorption of man
ure by the soil, and thus diminishes its
loss by surface evaporation and by
being washed away by heavy rains.” —
[Chadwick]
It lessons the iexture of the soil,
enables the roots of plants to pene-
etrate the subsoil, gradually fertilizes
the latter, and carries down soluble
substances to the roots of plants.
Ic prevents the lowering of tempera
ture, and chilling of vegetation by
evaporation, warms the under soil,
equalizes the temperature of the ground
during the season of growth, and ren
ders it fit to be worked at a much
earlier period than it would be if un
drained.
There can be no doubt, too, that
the poisonous exhalations from our
swamps and wet lands, are the causes
of the fevers, ague and other malarial
diseases which exists in our country.
Were these lands efficiently dr ined
thjy would not only be more produc
tive, but the public health would be
vastly imp.oved.
The expense of thorough drainage
need not exceed $20 or $25 per acre,
which will be rapidly repaid with
good interest in the increase of the
crops, in the increased certainty ol
raising good crops every year, and in
the improvement of the quality of the
crops. In Great Britain since the
general adoption of underdrainage, it
is stated that the wheat crop has in
creased more than two-fold, and wher
ever ic has been tested in the North
ern States similar results have attend
ed the experiment.
THE POI.ABIS.
the heroes of the ice floe to be
INVESTIGATED
Their Arrival in Washington.
The United States steamer Frolic,
having on board Captain Tyson^and
others of the Polaris crew, has arrived
in Washington ; and the Secretary of
the Navy has issued orders that no one
shall be allowed to board the Frolic,
iior shall any of the Polaris party be
permitted to go ashore without his
orders.
THE BLACK SIDEWHEEL STEAMER,
not an entire stranger in Washington
waters, became at once the special ob
ject of attraction. As soon as it- was
known who were on board an anxious
crowd lined the wharf, closely watch
ing the movements of everybody on
deck, expecting to get a glimpse ol
the Esquimaux or the wonderful ba
by. Commander Schoonmaker report
ed to the Commander of the Navv
Yard that he arrived under orders.
SECRETARY ROBESON WANTS IMMEDI
ATE INVESTIGATION.
Without much delay several scien
tific officials werq gathered, and the
Taliapoosa, lying at the same wharf,
and having a spacious cabin, was se
lected as the best place for the exam
ination. At three o’clock Captain
Tyson, accompanied by Commander
bchoonmaker, came on board, and was
introduced to the Secietary and his
scientific friends. The maps were un
rolled, and the Navy Report full of
marks laid on the table. Secretary
Robeson prefaced the work with an
explanation of what he desired to get
from Captain Tyson. He said the
government had fitted out the Polaris
at great expense, and as it was un
certain whether she would ever be
heard from, it was his duty to ascer
tain, as far as possible, the results
of- the expedition up to the time
of the separation of Captain Ty
son and his party from the vessel,
what progress was made in the trip
northward—in a word, whatever
would contribute to the knowledge ol
the Department relating to the object
for which the Polaris was sent out.
BEGINNING THE RECITAL.
Captain Tyson was then requested
to narrate everything which came un
der his notice, from the departure of
the Polaris from New York to the
time of separation from her. Captain
Tyson is exceedingly reticent. His
career has been that of a sailor, and
but little progress was made during
the first hour. After that he became
a little more communicative, and as he
progressed in the details of the voy
age northward his statement was in
teresting, particularly to Professor
Baird, who drew out the character of
the animals and natural growth in the
trigid climate through which the ex
pedition passed.
TYSON TRACING THE NORTHWARD
COURSE.
Here the maps were laid down be
fore Tyson, and he traced, as well as
he could, the course of the Polaris be
yond the boundaries laid down by the
geographers on the maps extant. The
examination continued until ten min
utes after six without eliciting any
thing of special importance. The
groundwork for a more thorough ex
animation was gained for the continu
ation of it to-moirow, and Captai
Tyson will be assisted by suggestive
questions based on the general instruc
tions prepared by the Smithsonian In
stitute.
Nothing was said respecting the
death of Captain Hall or how he be
came separated from the Polaris, as
the Secretary stated in beginning, the
first object of the Government was to
aggregate all the facts having any
bearing upon the purpose for which
the expedition was sent out. The
Secretary will endeavor to ascertain
all relating to the death of Captain
Hall and the separation of Tyson and
his party from the ship; in fact, he
will, as far as possible, connect this
with the history ot the expedition.
TYSON PATIENTLY AWAITS THE END.
Respecting the stories of Hall’
death he preferred not to talk at pres
ent. The Secretary had explained to
him the importance of keeping his in
formation for the use of the Navy De
partment, and, as a verbatim report was
to be made the public would have all
that skillful questioning could obtain
After that he understood the inter
viewers of the press might try their
hand. Captain Tyson looks very well
His face is bronzed and has more the
look of one exposed to a Southern
clime than that of a wanderer on an
ice floe from the North Pole. After a
pleasant chat with the officers, the
commander’s boat from the Frolic
was signalled, and Schoonmaker and
Tyson left the Tallapoosa.
MYERS AND THE ESQUIMAUX TO BE EX
AMINED.
After Captain Tyson has yielded all
he knows, Sergeant Meyers, of the
Signal Service Corps, will be examin
ed, and then Joe and Hannah, who
were Captain Hall’s faithful Esqui
maux friends and guides. Hans Chris
tian will also be interrogated as to the
country over which the sledge expedi
tion passed.
The crew will probably be exam
ined as to the discipline and treatment
on board. After that they will be
paid off and discharged.
Captain Tyson will first visit Brook
lyn and then go to New Loudon, Conn
The Frolic will remain here until
the investigation is finished.
BR AT£[)
A New Idea in Building.—We see
it stated in the scientific journals that
wire netting for plastering is being
rapidly introduced to take the place
ot laths. It takes less labor to place
on the wall; is more continuous, and
will not burn. Course netting, with
one inch mesh, and made of strong
wire, is found to answer best. For
ornamental cornice work it is especial
ly valuable, for it can be bent, into
any desired form. Secured to an iron
studding in a brick building our great
est danger on account of fire would be
removed. A still further application
of this plan is to make round bags of
wire, resembling barrels, and to coat
them inside and out with cement.
When it hardens they resemble stone
barrels. Filled with sand and sunk in
rows and masses, they make excellent
building material for breakwaters.
Another extension of the idea has been
tried with success in England. It con
sists in making iroo-framed buildings,
covering them with wire netting and
spreading concrete on both sides. It
is claimed that a house—wails, floors,
roofs, doors, partitions and all—has
been built that is strong, firm and ab
solutely incombustible. Various ap
plications of the use of wire netting
and plaster or cement readily suggest
themselves, and the matter is worthy
of the attention of mechanics and
builders.
