FIood-Gates of the Nile Dams.

The Nile dams at Assiout and at
Assouan will be completed during the
next year and are designed to i'm
pound the water of the freshets so that
the whole of the Province of Fayum,
row arid. can be irrigated. To per-
NIT the passage of the freshet water
the dams are pierced with orifices clos
ed by flood-gates whose dimensions
are calculated to permit the passage of
all the flood water without hindrance
There are in all $50 fiood-gates at diff
ferent attitudes. If all are open all
the flood water passes freely. In
practice they will be closed gradually
so as to impound water sufficient to
ill the reservoirs. Each fiood-gate has
an opening metres high by metres
long Except that few are of half Of
This size). The pressure on the lowest
gates is 300 tons, and in spite of the
enormous pressure the gates are open
ed and closed by machinery which
works with perfect smoothness and
ease

Temoerature of the Sun.

Few persons have any conception or
the tremendous degree of heat repre-
scented in the sun, just as they are lg-
norant, as a rule, that it is hydrogen
gas that, blazing in the sun, keeps the
universe Of life existent. An astrono-
mer has just given some interesting
details respecting the temperature OF
the sun He asserts that the mean
temperature is about 5000 degrees CEN
tigrade-approximate 1920 degrees
Fahrenheit Of such degree Of heat
one can form no adequate conception.
OF the total heat the earth receives, OF
course, only a very small proportion.
The rest belongs to space. and is shar-
ed by other worlds than this.

Women are more discontinued than
men as rule, says Ella Wheeler Will
cox in Success. mans discomfort Is
more frequently constructive, wom-
ans destructive. l have known many
women who made constant outcry
against the cares of housekeeping, and
who, as soon as they abandoned these
cares, mourned for the lost comforts
of the home; women who craved travel
and hated it's discomforts the moment
they set forth; women who craved the
mountains when at the seashore, and
the seashore when on the mountains.
What pitiful targets for their own
boomerangs they will be in their old
age! For what is more dreadful than
old age which has not learned repose
or calm, or the scontentment of pa
tlence?
