BARISAL

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 402 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARISAL , a town of British
India
 , headquarters of
Backergunje
 
district
  in Eastern
Bengal
  and
Assam
 , situated on a river of the same name. Pop. (1901) 18,978. It is an important centre of river
trade
 , on the steamer route through the Sundarbans
from Calcutta to the Brahmaputra. It contains a first grade college and several schools. There are a public librany, established by subscription in 1858; and a students'
union
 , for helping the sick and poor and promoting the intellectual and
physical
  improvement of boys. Barisal has given its name to a curious
physical
  phenomenon, known as the " Barisal guns," the cause of which has not been satisfactorily explained. These are noises, like the report of
cannon
 , frequently heard in the channels of the
delta
  of the Brahmaputra, at the rising of the tide.
