4 SURPRISE FOR THE SPHINX.

If the great Egyptian sphinx is ever
going to talk it will talk soon, for Won
derful things are going to happen on
the Nile. Professor Forbes, the cleo
trician, who has just returned to Cairo
from Wady Haifa, expresses a highly
favorable opinion about utilizing the
power of the cataracts of the Nile for
generating electricity, and considers
the general circumstances of Egypt ex-
ceptionally well adapted for its use as
motive power. Irrigation could be ex-
tended as well as cheapened by the
saving in cattle, and especially in coal,
which becomes enormously dear in up
per Egypt, owing to the expenses of
transport from Alexandria. He con-
siders that the cataract power would
be available all the year round for
working the railroad, cotton-ginning
mills, sugar factories, irrigation ma
chimes, etc, also that it could be sup
piled over distances of several hundred
miles at a cost much below that of
coal. He will, in September, make a
complete survey and present the gov
eminent with a project for utilizing the
electricity TO be generated at the Nile
cataracts.
The good old Nile has always done
much for Egypt. When it furnishes
her electric power it will be entitled to
still more appreciation than it now re-
ceives from the grateful Egyptians

British supremacy in the South Amer
lean trade Is about to be subjected to a
competitive test in an enterprise soon
to be undertaken in the Argentine re-
public. The government of that coun-
try is soon to purchase some 100000
worth of materials, including iron and
steel structural work and an electric
lighting plant, for a great union rail-
road station in Buenos Ayres, and adj
vertisements inviting proposals for sup
plying the same will be published in
this country as well as in England.
Heretofore such contracts have rarely,
If ever, been advertised in the United
States, the South Americans having
had the impression that American man
ufacturers were unable to compete with
the English. ..

ill-treating her justify their course by
bringing forward one physician who
says that "the girl is possessed of seven
DEVILS" and another physician who
places the number of devils at twenty
one. If the girl is really bad twenty
one is a moderate estimate.
