DRIEFLf, the ESypLian question may
be summarized as follows: Arab Pasha
Is native Arab OF obscure birth, but
of fine intellectual ability. He is about
Is years of age, and from sheer force
of character and intellect has risen to
his present position. His chief ambi-
ton seems to have been the aggrandize-
msnt of his own people, and his or
iginal intention was doubtless patriotic.
His ideas are progressive. He opposed
the custom of foreigners holding all the
offices and ruling, while his people only
had the privilege of paying the bills
and submitting to foreign domin-
ion. His superior in home af-
fairs-the Khedive-is q creature
of foreign control and consequently
Turks and other foreigners filed the
most important Offices, civil and mill
tary. Arab Pasha displaced many of
these and substituted his own country
men. These in turn were displaced by
the Khedive. whereupon Arab and his
associates protested. For this he was
summoned before Court Martial. Be-
fore attending he stated the facts to
his soldiers, and said if he did not re-
turn soon they might understand that
he was being tried for having made
the remonstrance in their behalf He
did not return, and his regiment went
armed to the Ministry, broke open the
doors, drove out the Minister of War,
and bore Arab back to his quarters.
This was the first overt act on the part
of the military or Of Arab, and the
Government, instead Of furnishing the
offenders as such. compromised with
Arab, restored him to his position, and
dismissed the Minister of War. He
then constituted q new Parliament and
undertook to control the finances of
his country. The Anglo French con-
troll was denied, and in this the army
and people supported the revolu tionary
movement. While Arab Pasha
did not believe his people ready
for Republican form OF govern ment,
he had the Constitution Of the United
States printed in Arabic and distributed
among them. He studied all the forms
of different Governments, and. for the
present, rather favored that of England.
A man of strong win and determined
character, he found himself opposed by
the KheGive and threatened by foreign
influence, but unanimously sustained at
home. He fortified Alexandria, and
England became alarmed for her "com-
mercial interests" Admiral Seymour.
with his feet, appeared in the harbor
and demanded that the forts be de-
stroyed, or he would lombard the city.
Arab pluekily proceeded with his
work. and the war commenced.

AN ELECTRIC TRICYCLE..

According to The Electrician CLondon), the
improvements in the storage OF electric energy
and in eiectromOtOrs have so far advanced
that tricycles can not only be lighted but also
propelled, solely by electricity. This feat was
accomplished the Orher day by Professor Ayrton
in London. The Faure accumulators in which
the energy was stored for the lighting and
drawing were placed on the fOotboard of the
tricycle., and the motion was produced by one
Of Professors AyrtOn and Perry newly patented
electromotors placed under the seat of the
rider. Using one OF these specially made tri-
cycle eiectromOtors and the newest type of the
Faure accumulatOrs, the total dead weight TO

NOVEL HOUSE WARNING APPARATUS

Professor E. S. Morse, of the Essex Mass,
Institute, has devised an jngeniC us. arrange
ment for utilizing the heat in the suns rays In
warming houses His invention consists of
= surface of blackcned slate under glass, fixed
to the sunny side or sides of a house. with
vents in the walls so arranged that tie cold air
of a room is let out at the bottom OF the slate
and forced in again at the top by the ascending
heat column between the slate and the glass.
The outdoor air can be admitted also if deslr-
able The thing is simple, and its entire prac-
tcableness has been demonstrated, IL Is said,
in the heating of the Professors study in his
cottage at Salem. The value of the improve
ment for daily warming buildings ike churches
and school-hOuseS, which, when allowed to
get cold between using, consume immense
quantities of heaNbef they are fairly warmed
again, is evident. OF course any Otler means
of heating is available when the sun does not
