TO DAM THE NILE.
One of the Greatest of Engineering
Feats is Projected.


Cairo, March 29-Englishmen are
about to turn the Nile to new uses by
damming its waters and storing it to
flood the dry land during the season
when the Nile falls to low ebb.
The project is one of the most stu
pendOus ever undertaken, and embraces
other difficulties besides those that will
confront the engineers. One of these
is the objections of archaeolOgists to
any scheme that threatens to sweep
away the ancient landmarks on the
banks of the Nile. The antiquarians
take the temple of Isis as one ancient
structure that they think should be an
effectual barrier to any modern engin-
eering feat that would threaten it's ex-
istence. Ptolemy II. built the temple
to Isis, whose tears, by the way are
the legendary cause of the rise of the
Nile, upon the island of Philae, and that
island will be almost submerged if the
Nile be held up to the extent proposed.
The dam is to be built on the unri-
vailed site at AsSuan, but it is not to be
carried to the height first proposed. A
head of 46 feet of water now satisfies
the engineers and does not alarm the
Psychologists. OF course, the water
supply is greatly reduced, for the origf-
nal head of water was some five meters
greater, but if something is lost much
remains. Cost is reduced and the di-
vision of water is perhaps as great as
Egypt can profitably utilize for some
years to come.
This great dam will serve the double
purpose of storing water in relief of the
dry season or of abnOrmally low Niles
and of mitigating the violence of ex-
ceptionaI floods The dam will be built
of granite ashlar founded on the great
reef crossing the river. 1t will be 76
feet high and about 5000 feet long, and
the difference in water level above and
below the dam will be 46 feet The APP
prOXimate storage capacity will be
.O65. 900 600 cubic meters. Locks will
be built for the passage of Nile steam
ers.
The contractors who promise compile
ton in five years, present a moderate
bill. They are to receive 100000
year for 80 years from the carrying out
of the contract.
That is a payment of nearly $25, 900 900
but the credit is very long, and the
present actual value is probably about
half that sum.
1t may be confidently stated that with
out the credit of the British government
Egypt could never have come within
speaking distance of so good a bargain.
The annual payment will be saved
three times over in security from floods
alone.
