HARVESTING THE NILE.
One of the Biggest Irrigation Schemes
onRecord.

From the Century Magazine.
tremendous task is to be undertaken
by the English in Egypt-nothing less than
the creation, for purposes of irrigation, of
a reservoir having two or three times the
superficial area of Lake Geneva.
Engineering skill is to rearrange natures
surface on the Egyptian frontier, and pond
back into Nubia a body Of water 140 miles
long, crossing the tropic of Cancer, and
extending southwark nearly to Korosaos-
a goody step on the ionn2cy 10 Abu-Simbei
and Wady-rIa'fa-by means of a great dam
across the Nile at Assuan. The Pyramids
and the Sphinx 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, audac-
ious perhaps, but certain of success, and
ministering to mans necessities, rather
than to his vanity?
AS a building achievement the scheme is
on a scale worthy of a Rameses or a Pha-
raoh. To create in the heart of the African
desert lake having from two to three
times the superficial area of Lake Geneva,
in Switzerland, and control it with scien-
tifc precision, SO that the impounded flood
will, is stupendous undertaking. But the
engineers claim that their plans can be
carried out to the letter; they have esti-
mated the exact cost of the dam, computed
almost to the gallon the volume of water
that will be imprisoned, and figured the
necessary resistance to be provided at
every point of the masonry. In Cairo, the
experts of the ministries of public works
and finance likewise, have calculated to
nicely the sum from taxation that will
come into the public treasury through the
country's augmented productiveness.
Subordinate to the great DAM a small. er
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 functions
will be to give sufficient head to the river
to force the water into the system of irri-
CATION canals that vein hundreds of thou
sands of acres between Assiut and Cairo.
The completion of the Cairo barrage Gt
was begun by Mehemet Ali Pasha, from
the plans of a French engineer, but not
made effective until England took the
country in hand) so developed cotton Gull
ture as to add to the public revenue of the
country at least $10,0OOO0O annually. 1t
may safely be concluded that the Assau

IN time be constructed southwark to the

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, February 1O-BradStreee
financial review tomorrow will say;
Heavy realizing sales and liquidation OF
s,,oc,,fative holdings caused an irregular
decline of values in the first hal1 OF the
week, followed by an equally irregular pu'
well marked rallying tendency. Ihe oe-
clines appeared to be the result OF an
over-bought condition, large amounts ol
securities having passed at the recent hign
nriees into the hands Of speculative hold
ers who were discouraged by the symp,
toms of reaction displayed last week ana
the evident slackening of the pubic puyhg
demand The large interests OF the street
were apparently disinclined to take any
very active part or to encourage resump-
tion of the general advance under condl-
tions which would unquestionably nave re-
suited in profit-taking on an enormous
scale and in further selling mere py LON
DON When the selling movement Oh
wednesday became rather severe in its Ell
fects and received in some stocks inclpleht
breaks there was, however, ample evidence
that support was extended to the market
and the rally which ensued presented the
more or less appearance of manipulation
from such quarters. Such action was rem
dered easier and more effective by the con-
siderable short interest which has accumu-
lated for some days past, the smaller pro-
fessional operators displaying an lncreas-
ing tendency to quit the bear side OF the
account for turn. The whole market TINS
week has shown the presence of the regu-
lar speculative element to an increasing
extent while the volume of commission
house business has shrun6 to more normal
PROPORTIONS. The daily transactions also
decreased considerably, although they have
still been large enough to stamp the mar
ket as a very strong one.

NICARAGUAN REBELLION.
Minister Correa Called at State Depart
ment in Reference to 1t.

Washington, February 1O.-Senor Correa.
the minister from Nicaragua called at the
state department today in reference to the
revolution which has been in progress in
eastern Nicaragua for several days past.
The exact cause of the uprising is not
known here, but it is supposed to be one
of the first results of the recent rapid
changes in the relations of the states for
merly united in the form of the Greater
Republic of Central America. AS the reyo-
lutionary movement is so far confined en-
tirely TO the eastern side of the country
while Managua, the capital and the seat of
the governmental resources is on the west
slope of the mountains, the difficulties ex-
perienced by President Zelaya in his en-
deavors to suppress the movement are
multiplied.
The state department has been fore
handed in looking after the interests of the
United States and Of the American resi-
dents In the disturbed sections
The gunboat Marietta was towering
about the east coast and now at the in
stance of the state department she has
been reinforced by the gunboat Machias
which probably has arrived at Bluefields
already. The political causes which led to
the revolutionary outbreak are said to be
complicated with labor troubles.

"The Alabama Home"

Not temporary stopping place that be-
longs to your landlord, but home Not n
section of a tenement house, filled with
noisy children, but a home where YOU can
gather your family about you when the
days work is done and be at peace Per-
haps you have thought that you could
never get home-that your income is too
small, and that such an investment would
be away beyond your means. Let us zee:
What do you pay for rent every month?
How much would that amount to in a year?
How much in six years? AT that rate, how
long would it take you to pay for home?
Now. if you really want a home, 1.-THE Ala

immensely in the matter You can get the
money to build on time and pay off the loan
in monthly installments, the payments
being but little more than you now pay for
rent. Rent receipts are not assets Sup
pose you were to die, would you not rather
leave your family house and lot than a
handful of rent receipts? OF course you
would. Come and talk to me-

Some 81 our readers do not under
