Elk Consul General Penfield, telling
of the proposed great irrigating project
in Egypt, thus describes in the Cen
tury conflict between engineers and
archmologists that resulted in con-
siderable modification of the height OF
the great dam.
All the engineers in the end favored
damming the Nile at the first cataract,
at q point about four miles south OF
Assuan, and not far from the island OF
Phila. There nature has been lavish
in providing hills of solid rock on
each side of the river that will stand
the ravages of the. elements as long as
the world lasts.
Little time was wasted in the prepar-
alton of the original plans of the dam.
But the officials having the matter in
charge, intent only on the utilitarian
aspect Of the problem, brought about
their heads, four years ago, q wide
spread outburst of indignation, when
it was announced that the treasured
ruins OF Philse would be submerged

concentrations carried into effect.
Meetings were held by learned socie-
ties everywhere to protest against any
dissertation of Phil@, and their memor.
ials poured in to the Egyptian Gov.
eminent for months. From every
country in Europe, from the United
/ States, and from the centres of learn
ing in the East, antiquarians, Egypt
ologists, psychologists, and literary
people generally, joined in vigorous
protest. The late Sir Frederick Leigh
ton, President of England's Roya
Academy. did not hesitate to say tina
"any tampering with Phil@ would b.
lasting blot on the British s.occupa
ton in Egypt" This singing remarl
brought the subject into the realm Q
