A plan is now being discussed by English
engineers. by which not only the water Of tho
Nile. but the silt-of which the greater portion
is now wasiafuy deposited in the Mcditcrra-
mean Soa-may be turned 10 good account as n
fertilizer OF the deserts of Nubia. Libya. and
the Soudan. To this end is proposed the con-
slruction Of systom Of engineering works by
which n portion Of the Nile flood water. with
its annual burden Of soil robbed from the fer
tile slopes of the Abyssinian plateauX, shall be
diverted into these deserts where it may de-
post its rich sediment on the sands. and also
irrigate them. This. it is thought, can be ne
complishod by the erection OF suitable dams and
sluiccs at different points of the Nile. which
structures would also greatly improve tho nayi-
