Egyptian Notes.

Carlo, Oct. 28.-The Egyptian govern
ment is on the point Of sending six battal-
ions Of black troops from Damietta to Sou
dan to take part in the operations against
the false prophet.
Arabi Pasha will divide his defense in
to two parts. The first is to comprise the
period before the war in which he saws he
acted By orders Of the Khedive, and the
second the time after July TO, in which he
claims he acted by command of the Sultan.
Arabi's solicitor is about to go to England
to take the depositions of Sir William
Gregory, Mr.. Wilfred Blunt, nj. Ninet
and trooper of the horse guards who was
taken a prisoner at kassassin, as they win
be unable to attend the trial. Arabi's
English counsel, after active efforts in that
direction, have succeeded in obtaining the
minutes of the two ministerial councils at
Alexandria which We're held some weeks
before hostiiities actually began, and
! which decided TO oppose with armed res
sistanee all intervention on the part Of the
British government. At those councils
both the Iheqiye and DerYisch Pasha
We're present, and 50 far lis examined the

Egyptian Inyasions.

The Pail Mall Gazette, philosophzing
upon the recent war in Egypt, indulges in
some historical "reminiscences which show
that Egypt has been pre-eminently the
land OF invasions. Cambyess commenced
them and was followed by Artaxerxes,
Alexander, and Amrou, who marched
overland from the east. Amrou, who was
the Caliph Omar's trusty General, won
Egypt away from the greeks for the Moh-
amnedans in the years $50, defeating the
Greeks near Cairo, who there upon retreat
ed to Alexandria, where they held out for
fourteen months, not being subjected to
such ironclad devastation as was Arab
Bey, and they finally surrendered. The
most powerful effort made for its recovery
was by Louis *. in 1850, who landed at
Damiette, where Abdallal Bey is now
holding out. He defeated the Saracens
aud took possession Of the town, but few
months later he and his whole army were
taken prisoners.
Napoleon's great invasion of Egypt was
in 1898. On the 18th Of July Of that year
he reached Alexandrew with $4,000 men
and the next day he took the city. Two
weeks after that he defeated the Name
Inks at Ramanieh. Nine days later he
became master Of Egypt by the total defeat
Of Murad Bey il the great battle Of the Of
the Pyramids, and two days afterwards he
conquered Cairo. Tee next month nelson
destroyed the French 1eet in Aboukir Bay,
but he could not disturb Napoleon's pos
ltion. In 1901 the English invaded Egypt
to drive out the French, and on the 21st
Of March Abercromby won the battle Of
Alexandria against y 900 French, though
he lost his own life. Two months later the
English entered Cairo. At this point they
were joined by the English forces from
Bombay under General. Baird, and the
united forces then marched against Alex
andra, when the French army capituluted
and evacuated Egypt. The second En-
glish invasion Of Egypt was in 1907, when
the Turks declared war at the instigation
Of the French General Fraser, at the
head of 5000 men, took Alexandria on the
2lst of March, but during the next month
was compelled TO retire from Rosetta with
much loss and ultimately to evacuate the
country.
The Gazette, studying these various in
vasions, arrives at the conclusion that q
force which does not advance from the
coast at once upon the key Of Egypt
Cairo-Whether from the east by the de-
sert road or up the Nile before its rising,
is predestined to failure. The affirmative
OF this proposition was certainly proved
by Sir Garnet Wolseley's advance and at
tack from the east, and speedy occupation
Of Cairo, which closed the war. Had the
advance been made from Alexandra upon
Kafrel-Dwar instead Of from Ismailia up
on Tel-el-Kebir, disaster might have been
expected, is the Gazette proposition il
sound one.

An Immense Electric BallOn.
From the London Times.

The large electric ballon projected by II.
Tssandier is to have the following dimen-
sion; The electric machine is to weigh 5
cWt., and the secondary batteries II cWt.,
representing about fve horse power.
These will be carried by an elliptical hall
loon OF volume OF LOG, 900 cubic feet.
The balloon is to be Isl feet long, and its
and its diameter IN the centre GOT feet.
The balloon would have lifting power of
81 tons, and consequently would be able
to support one ton weight of passenger,
ballast, ETC., besides the batteries aud
machinery.
With the air calm its speed would be
from twelve miles to fifteen miles an hour,
which Of course, could be maintained for
only q few hours. M. Tissandier intends
constructing such q balloon shortly, and
undertaking voyages with it over and
around Paris. The problem Of aeriel naVi-
cation can by no means be considered as
solved with this balloon. Even if the first
experiments should not give satisfactory
results, some advantage will be gained by
the general evidence they will supply Of
the practicapility Of the idea.

The Value of Cotton Seed.
am Stackhouse in Comet,

Sam Stackhouse in Comet,
Soon after the war there we're on.
ly sixteen cotton seed mills in the
South, and the seed worth only $6
per ton. Now there are sixty-seven
mills and the seed worth $12 per
ton, A ton of seed will yield thir-
ty-ive gallons of oil, which, after
it refined, is worth nom 81 to 81
per gallon. The meal is worth $26
per ton, and you get ashes to the
amount Of $40, making from one
ton ofseed which costs $12, putting
the oil at 81 per gallon, the sum of
$86 from one ton of seed--a profit
of $74.
The 81 mills worked up last year
10000 tons of seed from which, &C.
cording to our figures, they realize
a profit of S74 dollars upon each
ton. Multiply "A by 100000 tons,
and you have the great profit of
$l3,23O,OO0 realized by the mills
alone--a perfect bonanza of wealth.
The farmers get only mere pit
tance of these tremendous profits.
The seed whic h ought to have been
used by him as a fertilizer is man.
lpulated by the mill man at tre-
mendouS profit, and the oil and
cake sent to Europe.
The farmer is not able to use cot
ton seed meal as fertilizer al S26
per ton, it wont pay. 1t is much
cheaper to use seed at ten cents per
buShel. The ashes are dear at SIS
per ton, as they contain mostly
crude potash and lack ammonia,
which is so important an ingredi-
ent in plant growth.
We have seen colored people
rakeup every bushel of seed they
could get and sell them for even
seven or eight cents, and take paw
in whisky. A great many places
are now worked and rented by
freedmen, and they place no esti-
mate upon the great manurial prop
critics of cotton seed. Places are
growing poorer every year--deep,
red gullies take the place OF fertile
fields, and the once rich soil is be-
coming SO impoverished that it pro.
duceS less every year.
The soil must be fed to make
good crops. 1t requires nutrlment
as we'll as the human body. But
farming, as practiced by many far
mers of the present day, is to think
that the soil is inexhaustible. Their
crops are continually ea&ng up the
vitality of the soil, while nothing is
being added to its fertility. This Is
most suicidal policy. If 1t was
practiced in some thickly populated
countries, as England, China and
Japan, the people would starve to
death.
England has wheat fields q hun.
dred years old, which produce
larger crops than they cid years
ago. Nothing is wasted in China
and Japan. Eyen the hair from the
barber shops goes to enrich the
soil.
Our farmers place too little value
on manures. Cotton is wonderful
in this respect. Prof. Hilgard said
eff the same seed which was annu-
ally taken from the soil was replac-
ed, the soil would be enriched in.
stead of becoming poorer" Cotton
seed mills get the life.blood Of the
soil, and ship them to Europe,
while the farmer becomes poorer
