Reservoirs upon the Nile, for the stor-
age and control of the waters of that
river, upon which the prosperity Of
Egypt largely depends, are to be Sc
cured by the construction of great dams
at Assuan and ASsiut. The KhediTe
has made contract with engineers,
who agree to have the entire work done
within five years. at a cost OF about
100000. The principal dam Will be
G.OOO feet long, and the reservoir which
It creates will hold more thar 100000
600 cubic yards OF water. This system
of storage is expected to provide
against seasons of low Nile floods. to
mitigate the violence OF exceptions!
floods, and to extend greatly the area
of cultivabie land.

Spain Like an Ostrich.

Whatever sympathy European ma
tions have to spare is certainly going
out to America. AS far as the press is
concerned the change IS complete. All
the principal papers of Paris favor
America. A few journals that do not
are hedging. The Matin has some sem
sible remarks on the war. They are
the more noteworthy, as the Matin is 3
serious paper. "rhere are two things
in the Spanish-American war hard to
understand. What advantage is it to
the Spaniards to spread abroad news of
victory every time they. are bHaen?
They have done nothing else since the
outbreak of hostilities. Then, again,
why do they forbid the sending Of tele-
grams from Madrid when they contain
nothing of value to the enemy? This
is really the worn out policy Of the sill! 2
ostrich, which thinks because its head
is buried in the sand no one can see its
body sticking in the air. This action
is absurd, seeing that the suppressed
news comes from some other quarter at
the same time.

ure

". r. Mason of Bakersfield, Kern
County, Cal, tells the following story
of snake-charlning to the Scientific
American: Il was riding in California
and had off-saddled TO eat some lunch,
when l saw a gopher snake stretched
along the limb of tree in which was
4 flock of excited small birds. About
eighteen inches distant from the
snakes head was 4 bird whose COM
panions were making the noise. The
bird was perfectly motionleSS, and, to
all appearances. looked straight at the
snake. which was gradually creeping
toward it. When about eight inches
away the snake struck and caught the
bird by the breast. The captured bird
and its companions struggled with the
snake. but it lowered itself TO the
ground, carrying the bird in its mouth"

Mules Never Get Seasick.

"Do government mules getseasick?
This was the interesting and somewhat
novel question propounded by Lieuten-
ant Colonel G.. c.. Smith, the head OF

the St. Louis Republic, upon the re
ceipt of u teegraphic order from Wash
ington to Immediately ship l2O mules
to San Francisco to go with the rein
forcements to be sem to Rear Admiral
Dewey. The trip across the Pa
cifc Ocean will take the mules
nearly halfway around the world,
the ocean voyage alone being 7,500
miles in straight line from San Fran
cisco. Though the Quartermaster's
Department has been handling mules
for many years, there was but one man
in tie place who could throw any light
on the matter. He had it from a horse
and mule trader that mules never be-
came seasick, but horses do.
