DAMMING THE NILE.

Herophilus is said to have described
 the best quality of a physician as ''the power to distinguish the possible from ] the impossible' This is also true to-
 day of the worlds engineers and one
 cannot but wonder what the immortal
 shades lowering about Philae think of
 the five years work which has for it's object the damming of the great river which for countless ages has leaped
 joyfully through the granite rocks. The work of the last two years has been so far a great success, and now at lowest Nile all the eastern channels are stopped and a huge granite wall is ris- ing like a mighty breakwater. An army of TOGO Egyptians Is working at a high rate of pay, and about 300 Italians are cutting granite. because they do 1t so much more quickly and better than the natives. All are under the orders of 150 British artisans, and practically all
 the engines and railway plant and huge cranes have come out for the work from England And the present motto Is
 Hurry" because in three months the Nile flood will be down and then no
 more can be down to strengthen foun- dations and to eat out the gray granite
 which is no. considered good enough
 to take part in work which will some
 day rival the Pyramids and the Suez Canal, and stand, whatever may hap pen, as a permanent monument of the | English occupation of Egypt. The low Nile of this year is q nuisance to every one but the engineers at Assuan, be-
 cause it enables them to delve down sometimes 100 feet to look for faults
 in the rocks and to blow up with dyna-
 mite any masses of doubtful consisten- cy. At a quarter to twelve every morn-
 ing a warning syren sings and every one scuttles away from the works to lunch and safety, with the exception of | half q dozen fremen who remain be- hind, At noon the syren is again heard, and from q vantage ground in the dis tance the men can be seen running nim- ply about the abysses to light the fuses to which the long dynamite cartridges
 are attached. And then is heard sort
 of artillery feu de joie, and for ten min
 utes at intervals masses of granite hurtle through the smoke and plunge into the pools of water yards away And all this work must go on every day

Marsh nests employed by such f Wellknown birds as the rail, canvas | back, redhead, and ruddy duck, bittern marsh wren, and many others are often | tied to rushes in such manner that [ the lower part rests in or near the wa ! ter, so that a slight rise of level is sutfi- 1 cient to soak the nest, and render suc- i cessful incubation impossible. Aban- { doned nests containing full sets of sod- /, den, added eggs frequently seem to 1 tell tale of misplaced confidence in dry weather Hail is terribly destructive or , birds and their nests Apparently upon the principle that in human warfare 1t takes a mans weight in lead to kill | him, so in case of hail of the most mur- derous description nothing like the fla tality results to bird life that might be expected However, estimates based on the numbers of dead and wounded birds observed imm adiately after severe hail have placed the casualties as high as 10 per cent. over the region devastated. The impossiblity of making any accu-
 rate computation is apparent; it is sufli- cient that the slaughter is manifestly enormous.
 Such familiar varieties as the bald eagle great horned lark, and others ire quently make the mistake of nesting so early in the season that their eggs
 are rendered infartile by chilling or ab- solutesolute freezing, their nests being
 discovered amid snow and ice. and so

CAMPUS FESTIVITIES,
Happy Graduates Charged the Senior
 Prom"

N-NS '0S-NANA
 Prom"
 The campus last evening presented an animated scene. At one end, in and around Alumni hall, was going on the senior prom, Up near the library on the grassy plot in front the classes of '94 and '97, both academic and Shelf, were enjoying their reunions as one.
 The ceremonies began with a concert beneath a glowing electric light. and as each tune was played the gaudily at tired grads" joined hands and pranced around in unconfined glee. Four kegs on which were labelled the numerals of the respective classes, was dealth forth the flowing ale and under it's potent in fluence fireworks began to appear and red fire to illuminate the scene still more.
 In the midst of the festivities Mayor Driscoll appeared and his presence was at once heralded to the happy throng Cries for a speech were heard and His Honor" was hoisted upon stalwart shoulders. Gentlemen" he said q have little to say to you except that extend to you the freedom of the city, and what is still more important to you, freedom from the police" A more well come announcement could not have been made, and Mayor Driscoll was cheered heartily.
 The festivities as time went on wax ed warmer and warmerGand about 12 o'clock several kindred sBirits, seeking fresh stunts" to do led an attack on the senior prom" Just outside Alum nj hall large fence had been erected enclosing the enclosure where the danc- CTS were served with refreshments. The suggestion caught like fire, and in a body they bore down upon the fence. Several policemen guarded the enclosure, but they might as well have been absent Several big fellows leaped upon the enclosure and with crash the boards came off, revealing the wild looking horde to the gaze of the startled dancers. A gap having been made in the fence though, the curiosity of the crowd was appeased, and they went no further, although for the benefit of those within they gave their class yells. Returning after awhile they built q large bonfire and gathered around this undoubtedly greeted with pleasure the sun as it threw its first rays over the patient statue of Benjamin Silliman st an early hour this morning.

DEFECTIVE INSTINCTS IN BIRDS

DEFECTIVE INSTINCTS IN BIRDS.

 From the moment of the depositing of the egg containing the mere promise of the individual, on through every hour of actual existence, the "expectancy of life' at all times would have to be rated as low and the risk" extraordin- ary. High winds whip many arboreal nests to fragments, and destroy their contents.
