HARVESTING THE NILE.
The British Governments Great Prof.
cct for RedeeminG Egyptian
Soil by Irrigation.

A tremendous task is to be under
taken by the English in Egypt-noth-
ing less than the creation, for the pur-
poses of irrigation, of a reservoir having
two or three times the superficial area
of Lake Geneva.
Engineering skill is to rearrange ma
lures surface on the Egyptian frontier,
and pond back into Nubias body Of
water 40 miles long, crossing the trop-
ic of Cancer, and extending southward
nearly to korosko-a goodly step on
the journey to Abu-Simbel and Wady-
Halfa-by means of great dam across
the Nile at Assuan. The Pyramids and
the Sphynx have borne testimony
through the centuries to the grandeur
and power of execution which dwelt
within the Nile valley; and what more
fitting now than that the same valley
be the theater of a gigantic engineering
exploit audacious perhaps, but certain
of success, and ministering to man 5
necessities, rather than to his vanity? :?
As building achievement the
scheme is on scale worthy OF Ra-
meses or a Pharaoh. To create in the
heart of the African desert a lake hav-
ing from two to three times the super
fetal area of Lake Geneva, in Switzer-
lend. and control it with scientific pre-
cision, so that the impounded Hood may
be turned into distant channels at will,
is a stupendous undertaking. But the
engineers claim that their plars can be
carried out to the letter; they have es-
timated the exact cost of the dam, COM
puted almost to the gallon the volume
of water that will be imprisoned, and
figured the necessary resistance 10 be
provided at every point of the masonry.
In Cairo, the experts of the ministries
ot public works and finance, likewise,
have calculated to a nicely the sum
from taxation that will come into the
public treasury through the country's s
augmented productiveness.
Subordinate to the great dam,
smaller one, not unlike the barrage at
the apex of the delta, ten miles to the
north of Cairo, is to be made at Assiut.
It's function will be TO give a sufficient
head 10 the river to force the water into
the system of irrigation channels that
vein hundreds of thousands of acres be
tween Assiut and Cairo. The compile
ton Of the Cairo barrage Gt was be

AN ECCENTRIC SHELL.
The Strange Actions of "a Sixty-Pound
ProJectiIe That struck the
baltimore.

Aside from the bad craftsmanship Of
the Spanish gunners, there seemed to
be an extraordinary lack of killing
quality in the shells which hit our YES
sells. There probably was never be-
fore known such an experience as that
of the Baltimore. \ 60-pound armor-
piercing shell, fired undoubtedly from
the Canacao battery on shore, entered
the Baltimore about two feet above the
upper deck on the starboard side, be-
tween the after siX-inch gun and the
three-pounder mounted on the rail-
This shell, after piercing two thick
nesses Of steel one-quarter Of an inch
thick, struck the deck and penetrated
till it reached one of the heavy deck
beams, which it cracked clear through.
1t was then detected upward, coming
out of the wooden deck, and tearing its
way through the steel combing of the
engine room sllylight, again passing
through two quarter-inch plates. As it
had been turned sideways on rising
from the deck, the holes it made
through these plates were about 1S
inches long by six inches ragged,
torn spots, very unlike the clean-cut
punctures made by such shell when
entering point foremost. Leaving the
slSylight, the shell, ranging slightly for
ward, struck the rccoil cylinder of the
port siX-inch gun on the quarter deck,
disabling the carriage. At last it met
an object strong enough to resist its at
tack-the steel shield, which curved in
front Of the gun in a complete semi
circle. Following this curve, the shell
came out on the forward side Of the
carriage, travelling in "A direction eX-
actly opposite its former course, until
it reached the starboard side of the ship
again, where it struck a steel vcnti-
lator, and was finally stopped. In 9th
er words, this shell passed through one
inch of steel, ripped up a deck, broke
declSbeam and bulged a shield about
an inch out of its original shape. 1t
crossed the Baltimore from starboard
side to port and back again to the star
board side, and yet had hit none of the
many men engaged at the guns near
by. 1t is true ii was the cause Of wound
ing two officers and six men, for in its
course ii exploded two three-pounder
shells which were lying on the deck
ready for use in the small gun on the
Baltimore's rail; but directly it injured
no one, and it is regarded as holding the
record for eccentric action.-Joseph L.
SticLney, in Harper's Magazine.
