THE GREAT NILE DAM.

Sir John Arid and Sir Benjamin Baker
start for England on Sunday next. hav-
ing completed their visit of inspection
to the great engineering works as AS
suan. where the immense dam to hold
up the waters of the Nile is being con-
structed.
The total extent of the dam is one
mile and asquarter, of which one mile
and an eighth of the foundation is fin
ished. Temporary dams enabling the
remaining section to be put in are now
carried across the channel. Pumps for
getting in the permanent dam founda-
tons will be started next week. The
whole of the granite masonry required
for the dam is cut and ready to be laid
in its place. The parapet alone remains
to be prepared.
The portion of the dam rema ming to
be built is that across the we'll known
deep western channel. The work is of
considerable difficulty, but the expert
ence gained last season in dealing with
other channels has rendered the en-
gineers and contractors confident that
equal success will be obtained this year
in the western channel.
The dam is pierced with 100 openings.
about % feet high and feet WIDE which
openings are controlled by steel sluices.
The work for the sluices is now we'll
advanced. The discharge through these
suices at high Nile may reach fifteen
thousand ton of water second. The
navigation channel and chain of rocks
are equally advanced with the dam it
self. and the lock gates will also be in
course of construction in about three
months
+i,;,
reservoirs will be in operation for the
Nile flood Of 1908. This will be We'll with

the increased depth Of the foundations
the work done by the contractors has
been largely increased.

Poker Playing on
River Steamboats,
HOW INNOCENT VICTIM PROFESSIONAL
THOUGHT He WAS EASY GAME

'The strangest and most exciting Incl
dent I ever witnessed In all the high
playI have seen on the river" said an old
steamboat captain, occurred one night
during a trip we were making to st.
Louis, very shortly before the breaking
out of the war. We had on board the
usual crowd of planters, merchants,
gamblers and miscellaneous travellers,
from the city and every night the social
hall was pretty well filled with poker
tables. 1 was chief clerk of our boat
at the time. and on the evening 1 have
in mind l had taken a seat near the
Office to have a quiet smoke. when my
attention was attracted by three men
at an adjoining table. Two of them l
knew very well. They We're professional
gamblers who Travelled regularly up and
down the river and had the reputation
of being as smooth a pair of paste board
manipulatOrs as could be found in the
business. The third man was a stranger
to me- and I put him down mentally as
the dupe. I never saw him after that
night but + remember him with perfect
distinctness. He was about six feet
high. slender, with very broad shoulders
and had a dark, lean, shaver
face of rather attractive expression.
was a little puzzled to size him up but
finally concluded he was merchant
from some small town in the interior.
From where I sat I could easily over
hear the conversation of the group. and,
knowing is was against our policy to
interfere, the gamblers paid no attention
to me. After little general talk they
proposed a game of poker. but the dark
hpOpaH n he avc,1CoH He said IA
very seldom played the game and did
not feel in the mood. and, in spite of all
their pressing he politely but firmly de-
clined. Perhaps, then. you wouldn't
mind looking on, said one of the
gamblers at last, while l entertain my
friend here for half an hour or so?' 4
would enjoy it, he replied courteously.
and the two sharpers began to play
what would now be known as freeze
out BY that time my interest was
strongly excited, for I know of course,
that some scheme was afOot to fleece the
stranger. and, from prior experiences. I
even had general idea of what was
| coming.
Both players bet heavily" continued
the Captain and one Of them, who sat
directly in front of the dark man. was
presently more than $500 loser. A mo-
ment later two big hands were apar-
emily dealt At any rate there was a
swift interchange of betting and rising
before the draw that put perhaps $3.50
on the table, when the sharper on the
opposite side suddenly hoisted the pot 500
more. AT that his companion made a
gesture of chagrin. I'd see your hundred

annoyance, but I have less than $40 in
my pocket. Hold!' he added, as il

friend You may if you like said the
other indifferently, and he passed the
cards to the stranger. who was leaning
forward, evidently deeply interested.
The hand. as 1 could see, contained four
aces and six of clubs. The dark man
passed them back without disarranginS
them, and the gambler Immediately laid
them face down on the table. How
would you like to back me and go halves
on that?' he asked. If your friend is
willing said the stranger deliberately.
L have no objection, said the other man,
and the stranger counted out and
handed over $1,000 in bills. The gambler
to whom the loan was made threw 5000
in the pot. I see your bet and raise you

other, and now suppose we stop this
fOoling and draw cards The big hand
stu lay face down on the table. and
without looking at it. the gambler
pushed aside the card on the extreme
right, where he had apparently placed
the six of clubs. 1t was an old, cheap
trick. and I knew perfectly well he was
discarding one of his aces, SO as to lose
to his confederate. and would claim
later that he did it by accident His

"BoNZoLINE" BILLIARD BALLS.

The growing scarcity of ivory will in
evtably bring bonzoine balls more and
more into use in billiard rooms. The ivory
balls used in the recent championship
batch were afterward sold for Is guineas.
and "a set that has been in use for twelve
months and can be relied upon to keep
true is almost priceless. There is an i'm
preston abroad that the Billiard Asso-
citation is opposed to the use of bonzoline
balls, but The World of Billiards de-
clares that this is not so. 1t is rarely,
indeed. that a bOnZOline ball gets out of
shape. and their absolute accuracy is an
immense point in their favor. On this ac-
count they are quite unequaiied for pool
and pyramids. and in a very few years
time it is quite certain that nothing else
will be used for those games. Then,
ivory balls are utterly useless in a tenn
perature like that of Africa and India.
BonZoline balls. on the contrary seem
to he unaffected by heat or cold, while
it is another small point in their favor
that they are colOred all through and
never need anything in the way of re-
dying. OF course, they do not play"
exactly like ivory balls and a week or
two Of steady practice is necessary in
order to accustOm ones self to the
change.-Pall Mall Gazette.
