MODERN ENGINEERING FEAT
NEARLY COMPLETED.

pleted and may rightly be regarded as
a great engineering feat Not less
than 10000 men have been employed
on it, BY its means a natural lake
IA miles in length is created and
about sixty-fye feet of Nile water is
backed up, to be let loose when most
needed. The dam consists OF vast
wall nearly two miles long and aver
aging sixty feet in height, with $50
openings. each OF which contains
sluices With no more pressure than
a small child can exert, these sluices
huge masses Of steel-can be open
ed or closed by means Of levers. The
top of the wall is provided with para
pets and arranged as a driveway. The
foundation consists Of a bed Of con-
creted rubble 100 feet wide on the
average and Of corresponding depth,
cut into the granite rock. On the west
ern bank is navigation canal for
river boats. At Assault, some 45O
miles down the river, a vast supple
mental dam has been erected. Unlike
the Assouan wall, the other half has
been built on the bed OF the Nile it,
self. The Assault dam is half a mile
long. has a navigation lock on the
west side and viii hold from ten 10
twelve feet Of water. Progress on both
reservoirs has been remarkably rapid
and their combined cost has been
about $25 ,O0O, 900. It is estimated that
the two dams will bring under culti-

~ the Nile

AS everyone knows, Egypt would be
barren desert but for the Nile, which
not only irrigates the soil, but carries
down from the Abyssinian highlands a
sediment that serves all the purposes
Of an excellent fertilizer Each year
the copious rains In equatorial Africa
cause the river to rise and overflow
its banks The area thus flooded and
covered with the alluyial deposit is ex-
eeedingly fruitful; beyond this belt
which covers only a narrow strip Of
territory on each bank, the desert be-
gins. Nothing can grow in Egypt
unless the soil has first been watered
and enriched by the river Since the
earliest times. however, these floods
have been very irregular. Some years
ago they attained an extraordinary
hight and the population Of the eoun-
try was able to gather large harvests.
In other years the tropical rains were
greatly diminished in volume and par
tial crop failures ensued. The story in
Genesis about the seven fat years and
the seven lean years shows to what
extent the state Of the Nile affected
the prosperity Of Egypt even during
Joseph's soiourn at the court OF the
Pharaohs. The ancient Inhabitants or

Chemists had a rare chance in Eng

A mine which had been closed hermet-

hours after the opening was made, Il
