London, April 1S.-When Sir John
Arid, the contractor of the great dam
across the Nile at Assuan. walked
across the dry bed of the river in
front OF the dam the prophecy Of
Isaiah was fulfilled The tongue OF
the Egyptian Sea has of verify
been destroyed.
No more can it lick up the lives and
harvests of Egypt at its pleasure.
or by twisting to one side or the
other or by curling back, refuse to
give to Egypt moisture when parch-
ed fields are crying for water.
The tongue of the Egyptian sea has
been destroyed. Men now walk back
and forth in the dry bed of he great
Nile. The prophecy is fulfilled.
The tongue of the Egyptian
sea- as Isaiah so picturesquely
terms the Nile. has been destroyed
by one of the greatest feats of engi-
neering ever undertaken in modern
times.
A great dam has been built in the
Nile bed, on the southern side OF the
cataract at Assuan. The immense
wall of solid granite which forms the
dam extends from the right bank OF
the Nile to the left, a distance OF a
mile and a quarter, and, when com
pleted, will rise ninety feet above the
level of the river at low water.
And when this top OF the great
dam is paved and graded into {
thoroughfare, and cars and teams
and people are passing at will bacl
and forth upon it, then will com'
true the last part OF the prophecy o
Isaiah:
The object OF the great dam at As
suan is to transform thousands O
miles of dreary desert in Egypt int
smiling pastures.

Prosperity.

New York, April 17.-Gov. II. ID.
Gambler of Georgia, who is at the
Fifth Avenue hotel. in an interview
last night said:
Georgia is in a better condition
to day in every way than she has
been for generation. There are
contentment and prosperity among
all classes. The last cotton crop
was a good one, and the planters
and farmers are nearly all out OF
debt. Manufacturing is springing
I'D all over the state, and many cot
ton mills are being erected.
While our coal and iron interests
are not so large as those from some
other states. it is not improbable
they will be absorbed by the trusts.
That seems TO be the trend of events

in employing every recourse TO Sc
cure a fair trial to all men accused o
crime. There were only six lynching'

OCEAN WAVES.

A very interesting series of wave
 studies from the pen of Vaughan Cor
 nish is now appearing in the columns of our contemporary, Knowledge"
 in the January issue of which the size
 of wave is dealt with. In the course
 of this article Mir Cornish says that
 1t was in the southern Indian ocean,
 between the Cape of Good Hope and
 the Isles of St Paul and Amsterdam,
 in the region of almost continual wes-
 terly winds, that the largest waves
 were observed. On October 25. 1867.
 during gale from the northwest, with
 violent snow squalls, thirty waves
 were measured at different times Of
 day which averaged 2953 feet @
 meterso in height: The largest of them
 were 37.53 feet Ql meters) in height,
 and of these no fewer than six in succession were observed, which fol-
 lowed one another with admirable
 regularity. They lifted the corvette
 as if it had been a whaleboat, then left her wallowing in a deep trough,
 extending far on either hand. Lieu tenant Paris. who made these observa- tionS. had to mount to the twenty second rung of the shrouds before he attained the level of the crest.
 On the evening of the same day
 waves even larger were seen, but not
 measured. Those on board the cor vette seem to have agreed that the waves of this October p. were the largest within their experience. The height of the individual waves was often found to vary in the proportion of 1 to ?: it was only in very favora- ble conditions that the average height | was or or O.S of the extreme height.
 In the open ocean q strong wind soon | caused waves of as much as 1G.4 feet | e meters). The distance from crest 1 to crest was found often to vary in | the proportion of 1 to in two sue | cesSive waves. In a rising sea the
 wave length increased more rapidly 1 than the height. process which was found to continue for several days. 1 Thus, to the east of the Cape of Good 1 Hope, during strong west winds, 1 which blew with great regularity for 1 four days, the height of the waves only 1 increased from 1869 to 22-9I feet tt l to : meters). while the length. which
 was but 37O.74 feet Q13 meters) on the | first day had attained I'll feet O23J
 meters) on the fourth. This was the
 greatest daily average length observed
 but individual cases occurred in which
 more than 1912 feet (40O meters) sep
 erated two succeeding ridges. and an interval of 9S4 feet (3OO meters) was
 not uncommon.-London Mariner.

ELECTRICITI'S LEAPS.

It is exactly a hundred years since Volta made his demonstration of cur rent electricity before the scientific world. The Buffalo exposition. there fore. will possess additional interest as representing d century's advance ill electrical investigation and inven ton. Practically, however, the period which it will cover will be much less than this. The early investigation of the subject was of necessity aca- demic in it's nature. and was necessary to discover the properties of the un- known force before these properties could be taken advantage of for ma terial use. The practical application of electricity to industrial purposes dates from Morse'S invention of the magnetic telegraph, first put into prac- tical working order only G6 years ago.
 It would be an intensely instructive addition to the exhibits which the managers of the Pan-American expo sition are preparing if they could re- produce the scene which marked the first transmission of an ineligible
 message over electric wires in this
 country. The event took place in 1887, in a small room overlooking Washington square, New York. Morse had invited a few friends to witness the experiment, and in their presence he transmitted few signals from one to the other of the two crude trans mitting and receiving machines that he had constructed, on wires strung about the room. All who witnessed the test agreed that the invention sug- gested marvellous possibilities, but the most practical among them declared
 that it was doubtIul whether mes sages could ever be sent in this man. ner for greater distance than eight or ten miles. Morse, however, de ciared with enthusiasm:
 'If can make it work for eight or ten miles, can go around the world What would be the thoughts of the members of that group, separated from us by less than the span of a single life, if they could see mes sages being sent not only around the world, but in opposite directions over & single wire: if they could watcl automatic transmission achieving { f record of a thousand words minute or could send message from ths floor of tue Produce Exchange In New l York to Chicago and receive an ans wer within forty-flve seconds, as ha. been done many and many lime !

It Is Agreed on All Sides That It Has
 Lost Him Many Friends.

LOSE Him Many Friends.
 Naval officers believe that Admiral Sampson has injured his career and done the navy q great injury by his objection to the promotion of warrant officers. Thus writes q Washington correspondent of the New York Con- mercial Advertiser. They say that even if there is q certain amount Of truth in nis statements regarding en- listed men. his sentiments are not ac- ceptable to the American people, who are likely to infer that the navy is a school for snobbery and that it's off cerS whether trained at Annapolis or promoted from the ranks. are un-Amer ican and desirous of establishing ! naval ariStocracy founded on qualiti- cation of birth.
 Admiral Sampson'S friends doubt that he meant just what he wrote. but they admit bitterly that no explana ton from him will be acceptable to the public. At the time when the Santi- ago affair was most discussed they pointed out the humble life of Samp- son as q boy in Palmyra. \. I. They made his rise from it q brilliant page in his meritorious record. Now they say that he has turned it by his own reasoning to blot. They point out that by his action Admiral Sampson has tied the hands of Secretary Long. who has been most jealous in fighting for what he believes to be Admiral Sampson s rights.
 The admiral has combatted princi- ple which both Secretary Long and Admiral Dewey hold to be the encour agement Of the ambitious and deserv ing enlisted men. and worse than that has administered q slap to every man of high rank in the army and navy who failed to receive a scholastic train- ing. The list is long. Lieutenant General Miles and AdjutantGenera1 Corbin are not West Pointers. Gen eral Chaffee never attended the mili- tary academy. and rose from the ranks. In fact, the records show that q majority of the ma! !ior and brigadier- generals according to Admiral Samp- sons dictum. are socially handicapped. In the navy Admiral IIichborn. who retireS on March l. was q ship carpen- ter and served before the mast. Ad- miral ONeill. who holds Admiral Sampson'S former place as chief of ordnance. was another ordinary sea man. So. too. was Admiral Melville. whose ability as q naval engineer has received worldwide recognition. Cap tain Dyer. who was retired last week as a rear admiral and who commando ed the Baltimore in the battle of Ma nilla Bay. worked his way up from the merchant marine, through the army, and finally through the navy. These are but a few instances of men who. hy their own merit. have risen to high rank. and whose records con- found Admiral Sampson's theories.
