Heroh0tus and the Nile.
Prof. Huxley, in MacmiIIan's MAGAZINE.

/
| Relatively to the bulk of water, the
amount of solid matter transported annually
| by the Nile must be far less thai that which
| is carried down by the rapid streams of
mountainous countries in temperate climates
| such, for example. as the Upper Rhone. We
that amount may be, but am disposed to
think that the ordinary computation, accord
ing to which the average deposit over the
delta amounts to not more than a layer one
twentieth of an inch thick annually is, at any
| rate, not under the mark. But this is a very
interesting question, for it is obvious that,
if we may assume that the deposit of the Nile
has taken place uniformly at known rate. it
becomes possible, given the thickness of the
alluyial deposit in the delta. to calculate the
minimum time occupied in its formation.
The borings made under the direction of the
late Mr.. Leonard Horner in the upper part
of the delta and those subsequently conduct
ed by Figari Bey favor the conclusion that
the natural loose soil which fills the fiat ba-
sin of the delta nowhere exceeds 60 feet in
depth. Assuming it to have this thickness
in any spot, it follows that, at one-twentieth
of an inch of deposit per annum, it must have
taken at least IA 400 years to accumulate to
that thickness at that place. And if SO,
Herodotus seems, at first, to have made q
wonderfully good guess when he said that
the Arabian Gulf and, by implication, that of
the delta might have been filled up in soc, 900
years, or even half the time" l am afraid,
however, that any such modern estimate has
not much surer foundation than the ancient
guess. For, in the first place, there are many
reasons for believing that the action of the
Nile has not been uniform throughout the
whole period represented by the deposit of
alluvium and, in the second place, if it had
been, the simple process of division of the
total thickness of the alluvium by that of the
annual deposit does not by any means neees-
sarily give the age of the whole mass of allu-
vium in the delta, or, in other words, the
time which elapsed during the filling of the
delta, as it is sometimes supposed to do. Ac
cording to Figari Bey, the deepest, and there
fore earliest, alluvium in the delta contains
gravel and even boulders so that, if these
are fuyiatile beds, which is perhaps not quite
certain, they indicate that, at the time when
they were deposited, the current of the Nile
in this region was much more powerful than
it is now, and, consequently, that its annual
additions were much more considerable,

An Alabama editor who is more than sixty
years old and still has good eyes says thai
when he first became aware that his sigh
was failing he made it q practice to press the
outer and inner corners of his eyes together
each night after retiring. He pressed gently,
applying equal Simultaneous pressure to both
eyes and has kept up the practice down to
the present time. The philosophy of the OPP
GRAFTON is explained in this way: GAS people
pass the middle age there is said to be ten
dency of the balls of the eye to lose their
eonvexity-in common parlance, to fatten.
The habitual pressure of the outer and inner
corners of the eyes together prevents datten-
ing and thereby preserves the original nor
NAL convexity of the eyes and thereby the
original power of seeing.''

providing for the branding of goods made by
