THE WONDERFUL NILE RIVER.

Dr. j. Leslie Porter, President of the
Queens College, Belfast, also delivered an
address upon Egypt, in which he said:
&" Were the Nile, by some convulsion of ma
ture, or by some gigantic work of engineer
ing skill-neither of which is impossible
turned out of its present channel away up
to Khartoum, or at any other point above
Wady Halfa, Egypt would speedily become
a desert. No tributary enters the Nile be-
low Berber, that is to say, for the last thou
sand miles of its course. The arabic land
of Egypt is about equal in extent to York
shire. The White Nile, issuing from lakes
Albert and Victoria Nyanza, is broad and
deep never rises above few feet and sup
plies the permanent source of the river of
Egypt. The other tributaries produce the
inundation. OF these the Atbara, from the
mountains of Abyssinia, is the most fer
tilizing, as it brings down with it quantity
of soil. The deposit of this soil is slowly
raising the bed of the river as well as eX-
tending ON each side. For example, on the
plain of Thebes the soil formed by deposits
has in $500 years encroached upon the
desert a third of mile, while the ruins of
Hierapolis in the delta, which once stood
above reach of the inundation, are now
buried in mud deposit to depth of
nearly seven feet"

NEARLY 5000 stores and shops closed
their doors for the half-holiday in New
York Saturday, June 9th. The move
ment has thus far been completely success
full. The business men are rapidly falling
in with it. Its permanency depends
wholly upon the good faith of the mer-
chants and manufacturers. It's decay will
begin and It's fall be speedy when some one
merchant or manufacturer, hoping for
some temporary gain, breaks away from
the agreement. Then will all the others
desert the ranks, each anxious that his
neighbor shall enjoy no opportunity for
trade that is not open for him. We trust
that such calamity may not befall the
wage-winners of New York, but we con-
Tess that we expect it to come about.

THE Right TO THE STREETS.

Recently the police captains OF New
York city made raid upon all women
upon the streets after 4 given hour, 10
o'clock, we believe, and dragged them to
the locb-ups. The captains acted upon a
rule they had agreed upon, that any wo-
man upon public walk after 10 o'clock is
disreputable. 1t so happened that Of the
large number gathered in the first night
were many worthy girls, widows, wives
and mothers, who are compelled to work
in business establishments and cannot pos
sibly reach their homes after the closing
hour and before 10 o'clock. This fact,
which seems never to have entered into
the experience of the captains, astonished
them greatly; but it did not amaze the
public, which was fully cognizant Of what
the police should have known. As a re-
suit, indignant New York arose and de-
manded that some better rule of dis
tinction between those legitimately upon
the street and those there for base pur-
poses, be established. On the 29th of June
Superintendent Murray called in all the
captains, stood them in row, and gave
them a lesson on human rights they Will
not be likely to forget, and certainly will
not venture to disregard They Will now
instruct their roundsmen in those simple
rules by which they can distinguish the
honest toiler, whose poverty compels them
to appear upon the street at night,
from the disreputable women of the
town. The incident affords the New
York Herald opportunity to print
a bit of philosophical wisdom, in
the form of question to which there is
absolutely no answer. 1t asks: Why not
go step further and clear the streets at
night of disreputable men, who are the
terror of respectable women then abroad
on the streets of great city? ?" All the
world will join in the inquiry, and ask
why not. indeed?

IT would be rash to speculate upon the
possible limit to which inventive genius
may go in electrical science. Here comes
Mr.. Edison with a system of telegraphy by
which he can send or receive a message
upon railway train while it is in rapid
motion. Unlike the system recently de-
scribed which provides wire between the
rails of the track, and an induction trav-
eler" depending from the car and running
near the wire, he requires no extra wire at
all. He throws the message to the ordinary
Geographic wires, usually suspended upon
poles along the track and some feet dis
tant from it, and withdraws messages from
the wires in the same way. The task is
accomplished by employing as medium
what he calls etheric force In recent ex-
pertinent while train was running at the
rate of twenty-five miles per hour, Edison,
ii is certified, threw a message upon wires
thirty-fve feet distant, and the proof of it
was found in its correct receipt at a remote
office.

made OF brush and will be about 1000 feet
long. Eight men are engaged in the work,

it. The snagboat Seller has benefited the

istence there of living beings at all APP
preaching in character to those we have
here. Are we then to regard this as a
waste of materials? Might we not rather
argue that as in animals we ascend by
greater specialization, so we could consider
| the differentiation of Office in different
members of the solar system as marks of
superiority, and could regard the sun as
performing most important functions of
that system? In fact, all life on our earth
was ultimately derived from the radiation
of solar heat. Referring to the doctrines
| of conservation of energy and of dissipa-
| ton of energy, he pointed out at some
| length how the sun, so far as we could see,
was not calculated for an eternal duration
in the same state and performing the same
| functions as now. We must regard the
universe on grand scale, and then there
was progress. If we contemplated nothing
but periodicity, perhaps we might rest con-
tent and think things would go on forever
as at present; but, looking on the state of
the universe on a grand scale as one of
progress, this idea obliged us to refer to the
first cause.

science during the past quarter of CEN
fury, and, reviewing the results, specially
noted that as scientific truth developed, so
had men to give up the idea that there was
any opposition between the Book of Nature
and the Book of Revelations He said that
for the past twenty years or SO one of the
most striking advances in science had been
made in the application of the spectre
scope, and in the information obtained
with regard TO the constitution of the
heavenly bodies. The discovery that there
were in these particular chemical elements,
which were also present in our earth, eX-
allied our idea of the universally of the
law of nature and there was nothing in
that contrary to what he had learned in
Revelation, unless we We're TO say, as the
