Science Helps in Protection Of Banks
of the Suez Canal

In an interesting article on sylvi-
culture and the Suez canal, the Revue
des Questions Scientifques describes
as follows the highly successful ef-
forts of the Suez Canal company to
protect the banks and approaches of
that great highway of the worlds
commerce by a systematic planting
of trees and shrubs of various sorts.
The Suez Canal company is utiliz-
ing to great advantage saplings,
shrubs and large trees in order to
consolidate its banks, and to preserve
the maritime canal from the en-
croachments Of the desert. The
operation began in 1897, and was con-
tinued from year to year with the i'm
provements suggested by experience.
For the purpose of diminishing the
effects of erosion at the edge Of the
banks of the maritime canal, and Of
the swells caused by the passage Of
vessels, there has been planted at the
waters edge a reed Of unusual dimen-
sions, the Arundo gigantea, which
spreads its roots rapidly in the wa
ter and quickly attains a height Of
from ten to twenty feet. Farther
back, on the slopes of the banks, there
are employed with success several va
rieties Of tamarisks ct. gallica, T.
nilotica, 7. artlculata), whose
branches take root when the sand
hills just cover them, and which are
intermingled with herbaceous plants
like the orach (Atriplex halium) and
the alta (Stipa tenax).
In addition to the foregoing pre-
cautions it was necessary to protect
the canals from the encroachment of
the desert sands driven by the wind.
To accomplish this there have been
established, at about $50 feet from
the waters edge, hedges formed Of
arbOrescent species, and 40 feet
long. The filao, with horsetail leaves
(Casuarina equisitifolia), an Aus
tralian tree quite well naturalized in
Egypt, the acacia of the Nile CA.
nilotica), the eucalyptus globulus ct
robusta; the cypress Of Lambert; the
caoutchouc and Bengal fig trees
(Ficus elasticus, F. bengalensis) pop
lars, mulberry trees and even the
sycamore generally thrive well on
these plantations, especially in sill
cious soils; this, however, is due to
artificial irrigation obtained by cut
ting bitches from the fresh water ca
mails derived from the Nile for the
sustenance of the inhabitants.
Vegetation is more rebellious
where the soil is found to be argilla-
ceous, compact OF too solid. In order
to overcome this the ime-bearing wa.
ters Of the Nile have been brought
down, after much labor, and now q
number Of tsmarisks, willows, orachl
and other trees thrive well.
On the banks where the swells oi
passing vessels would endanger the
young plantations Of reeds, they arr
sheltered, for the first few years, b,
hurdles which are taken elsewhere
when the plants thus protected hay'
acquired sufficient strength.

that hour he was at his club. He no
tilted the bank people that he was i'll
Saturday morning and would not be at

failed to report yesterday his accounts
were gone over and the shortage dis
covered. The exact amount has not
yet been ascertained-
Fleishman had been cashier and as
Sistant cashier of the Farmers and
Merchants bank for many years He
began work for the bank when hoy
in 1875. He was under bond with
surety company for 100000. In addi-

Admiral Dewey disagrees with them

that from the time Schley started from

Santiago he did the best that could
be done under the circumstances. AS
he is the only member of the board
that the American people had heard
anything about before they were sum-

opinion will be the only one that has
any weight. The closing sentences OF

be peopled by men of the same race

His name will live In the memory of
