A WORK OF MERCY.
United States Ambulance Ship Sol-
ace and Her Mission.
Fitted Out Most Completely for the
Caring for the Wounded and
DyinE-Able Corps of SUR
Eeons and Nurses.

It looks like stern business when the
hospital corps is sent to the front. The
first of those who will attend the
Key West in the United States ambu-
lance ship Solace. The Solace has been
at anchor for several weeks at Hamp-
ton Roads. Her officers, surgeons and
others were anxious to get to work, IL
there was any work to be done.
The ambulance ship has been boun-
titully supplied by the women OF Amer
lea with the good things that are gen.
orally lacking at sea and in the field.
Perhaps no ship of the war will be the
center of so much concern as the Solace,
Her white sides and her Red Cross flag
will mark her to friend and foe. Her
mission will be one of mercy-to build
up that which has been partly de-
stroyed; to care for the wounded, TO
comfort the dying. She is stanch and
fast. and 200 or more wounded sailors
can be accommodated on board this
floating hospital. While the battle
RACES the Solace will occupy position
similar to that of the hospital tents
ashore, and after the battle ber boats
will be sent to the ships and the wound
ed will be removed. Then, as soon as
possible, she will carry her patients to
the hospitals at some port of safety.
At Newport News and at other ports
at which the Solace has touched the
work of fitting her out has been COM
pleted, and now she in every way re-

about this wonderful tree long before they reached the locality of its growth, and as they approached the spot their curiosity regarding it increased thou sand fold.
 Here is their narrative of the result of their examination of the tree:
 s1t will here be naturally expected that we say something about this tree itself. Does it exist? Have we seen it? Has 1t any peculiar attributes? What about it's marvellous leaves?
 'Yes, this tree does exist At the foot of the mountain on which the Iamasery stands, and not far from the nrincipal Buddhist temple, is a great square inclosure, formed by brick walls. Upon entering this we were able to examine at leisure the marvel ous tree. some of the branches or which had already manifested themselves above the wall.
 "Our eyes were first directed with earnest curiosity to the leaves ana we were filled with an absolute conster- nation of astonishment at hndlng thaI, in point of fact, there were upon eacn of the leaves well formed Ihlpetdn characters, all of green coloT' some darker, some lighter, than the leaL N- self. Our first impression was a Sus- picion of fraud on the part or the .- La- mas: but, after minute examination of every detail, we could not discover the least deception. The cnaIacIeIs all appeared to us portions or the leai itself. equally with its Velns anu nerves: the position was not the same in all: in one leaf they would De at the top of the leaf; in another, in the mld- dIe. in a third at the base, or at the side: the younger leaves represented the characters only in a partial state or formation. ,. branches. which resemble that of the nlane tree are also covered with these chara cters When you remove piece of the old bark the young bark under it exhibits the indistinct outlines or characters in a germinat1ng state, ana, what is very singular, these new char acters are not unfrequently different from those which they replace. we ex- amined everything with the closest at tention, in order to detect some traces of trickery, but we could discern noth- ing of the sort.''
 The missionaries, Hue and Gobet, might have remained in Thibet as long as they wished had it not been for the interference of the Chinese Embassador there. For some reason this indlVldual took a dislike to them and ultimately caused them to depart. The Lamas were willing that they should remain, but it appeared to the missionaries that their presence might cause disturbance, so they quickly withdrew, taking wltn them some of the first facts ever gath! cred in that mysterious land-

 To the Egyptian administrator the chief concern is in the money Value ot the new dam to the country, ana Tn this respect it makes a most faVofaDle showing In a land which, 1n SIT Gardner WilItinsons phrase, positive " screams for water" its worth can scarcely be overestimated. With its supplementary dams and barrages at Assiout and near Koshesheh, it will in crease the present cultivated area of Egypt by COG. 600 acres and bring under constant cultivation the whole of that proportion of the 5,000.000 acres in Egypt which is now under yearly ir- rigation only. The supply of water needed for this purpose, according. to Mr Willcock's scalculation, IS 3,6l0.Ooe,- GOO of cubic centinleters flowing at maximum rate of 630 meters second over the whole line of district affected The monetary advantages of the scheme may be expressed by saying that the direct annual return to the state will be s4,250, 000 that the in creased value of land in Egypt will be

above its pressed level, and for a dis tance of IA miles above the dam.
 The Nile at AsSouan by no means fulfills the popular conception of cat aract The river is broken up by in numerable islands-some of them Of considerable acreage, but the great majority mere rocks, which are sub merged in flood time-into myriad shal- low watercourses At one or two points the water runs deep and fast between the islands, but for the greater part of the width of the river the channels between the islands carry only a trickle of water during the dry season. It is upon this foundation of small islands that the dam will be built. So far as strength and economy of foundation are concerned the site leaves nothing to be desired. The rock throughout is hard, compact syenite or quartz diorite, and the section of the river is so wide and shallow that the foundations of the larger part of the dam can be put in dry. The under sluices will be built upon reefs pro- jecting over the water surface both in summer and winter so that the foundations will be open to annual inspections most important advan- tage. when so many interests depend upon the stability and endurance of the work. It will be a splendid thing to look at-stretching a mile and a quar- ter from shore to shore, of compact granite, a huge mass seventy feet high at it's lowest point, and it's crest 32O feet above the lowest water level of the river below the cataract.

No Gothic architect in his widest mo ments ever played so freely with his lines and his dimensions as the forgot ten designer of Philae, and none ever produced anything more pictureSquely beautiful. It contains all the play of light and shade, all the variety Of Gothic art with the massiveness and grandeur of the Egyptian style. There is no building out of Thebes that gives so favorable an impression of Egyptian art as this It would have been great pity if the reservoir which is to water Egypt had demanded such sac rifice. At one time it appeared in- evitable, and Sir Benjamin Baker sug- gested that the whole groundwork of the temples should be raised. The cost of this would have been 1000, GOO, which was rather too much for the Egyptian taxpayer. who, in Sir Benja- min's words, "does not care piastre for the temples" except as a means of attracting tourists to Assouan.
 As to the importance of the work. from the engineers point of view, Sir Benjamin says:

r ONDON, July 29.-After some
 centuries of discussion and
 planning the Nile is at last to
 be damned. The plans have
 been completed for some time
 and as soon as the seasons floods have subsided the contractors will have several hundred men busy on the stone work at Assouan.
 The man who is to have the direc- ton of the work, which will rank as the greatest irrigation scheme ever at tempted and one of the engineering feats of the age, is Sir Benjamin Baker, whose name is already associ- ated with many great enterprises. MT. Benjamin is himself ready to start for Assouan,. where he will assume per sonal direction of the undertaking. In discussing the matter a few days ago he hazarded the prediction that by the beginning of the twentieth century the first steamer would pass through the locks into the reservoir, on its way to the upper Nile. Whatever difficulties may be encountered in the work it probably will not take so long as it has for the Khedive and bis French advis- CTS to make up their minds to sane ton it.
 The effect of the dam as at present conceived will be to submerge the nearer islands only. but as originally planned it would at flood time, or high Nile" have submerged the island of Philae, mile up stream, and the tenn

These estimates leave out of account the increased value of land and crops owing to in creased facilities of navigation. Sir Benjamin Bakers view is expressed in the words: "The profit resultant from the works it is difficult to over estimate, as the value of the crops will be increased about S30 per acre per an- mum over the whole area affected"
 This in brief gives a birds eye view of the great scheme which is to give new birth to Egypt. Its cost alto gether will not be far short of S25,OOO,- 900.
