FLOODED TEMPLES AT PHILAE.
Effect of the Water of the Nile Dam
Upon the Temple of Isis.

The first high Nile since the completion
of the dam at hssouan has passed. and
the Shiny water has soaked the temple
columns to a considerable height Tie
process of periodical su5mersion is held
10y some to be a great danger to the
buildings, which they declare can only
last few years under such treatment
and that destruction will be FASTENED
when the government decides to make
use of the full capacity of the dam in
holding back the Nile. The Niles rise
III level now brings the water & feet
above the threshold of the Temple of Isis
while the soil of the island is entirely
submerged. The beautiful coloring of
the walls of the temple of Isis, which
has survived for 2000 years, is also stat
ed to be disappearing under the action
OF the water. AS regards the stability
of the temples, it must be remembered
that the foundations were thoroughly
treated by the dam engineers with a
view to resisting the action of the wa

cause it shares with Abydos the claim of
being the burial place of Osiris, the
greatest of the Egyptian gods. Its
greatest temple is of the ptolemaic
Osiris and mother of Horus. The island
was regarded as sacred soil in olden
times, ana no one was permitted to land
upon its shores without permission The
most sacred pilgrimage that the Egyp-
tianS could make was to this tomb of
their god, and their most solemn vow
was by him who sleeps at Philae'
The small temple of Nectanebo. ut the.
south end of the island, which has hith-

preservation of its mural paintings, is
also reported to have suffered severely
from flooding. The small square temple

at Phlae was ascertained in ancient
times by the use of a series of specially
constructed steps.
Philae was the last home of the an
cient Egyptian religion. This island. w.

UNEMPLOYED Africa, was peculiarly fitted
to be refuge for the dying faith. Long

Emigration of French Capital.

One of the serious matters which faces
the French government is the vast
amount of French capital which has left
that country in the last few years and
continues to do SO. The last returns of
the government savings banks show an
excess of S2,000,000 francs in the with
lrawals over the deposits. Much of this
has gone to England. some to this coun-
try and o very considerable part to Ger.
man renteS Ii is this withdrawal Of
capital TO which the fall of French rentes
may be attributed. rather than to the
controversy between the church and
state, which has generally been regarded
as the cause, The causes of the with
drawal Of the capital are several One
important one is the impending income
tax. The feeling is that If the Socialists
continue to grow in power they will not
be satisfied with the income tax, but will
demand further impostS on the revenue
from private investments.

A Kings Collections.

King Edward carefully preserves the
artistic programmes of proceedings in
which he has taken part. These souve-
Mrs. which number several thousand. are
an pasted in large albums which are kept
in the library of Buckingham palace. In
the same way the King has kept all his
iheater programmes since his earliest
playgoing days. This is, without doubt,
the most curious and valuable collection
of its kind in the world, for managers do
not give kings and princes ordinary pro-
grammes. The bill of the play placed
in the royal box used TO be printed on
silk or satin, with a heavy fringe. 1t

A recent derailment in Milwaukee, and
the accident of like nature just report
ed from Anderson. Indiana, should warn
the motormeu of electric cars that their
vehicles are more likely to fly from the
rails at curves, while going at high
speeds, than are the coaches of the com
mercial lines. The curves of electric
railways are not as gradual as those OF
the commercial lines, and moreover the
cars rest upon the rails very lightly in
comparison. Some of the curves inside
the limits Of cities are of the right angle
variety, and would throw passengers out
OF the windows were they negotiated at
high speeds.

IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA.
Some o1 che Many Changes Which
Have Occurred In That Country
II Recent Years,

Since 1896 five events have occurred
that wholly change conditions in
Alaska for the better, reports the
Engineering Magazine.
l. In that year the klondike gold
discoveries were made, and in 1897
and 1898 a great rush to and through
Alaska began, resulting in a doubling
of the population and in an output
of gold from the Yukon region to
date of $75,OoO,OoO.
2. In 1898 the Philippine islands
were acquired by the United States,
giving importance to the direct route
along the Alaskan coast between
North America and the new posses.
sions..
3. In 1899 gold was discovered on
the beach at Nome, and this carried
10000 people to this part of Alaska
and resulted in an output of S5,OOO,-
0oo in gold annually, or more than
twice as much as all Alaska had pre-
viously yielded.
4. The Alaskan salmon fisheries, in
their infancy in 1896, have grown in
1902 to great companies, ca;italized
for $20,00O,000 and with net earnings
last year of more than $2,OOO,OOO and
employing 10000 men.
s. Two railroads have been con-
structed in Alaska, one of which is in
the extreme southeast, costing $4,000
oo0 earned last year over Sc. .OCH. 900 net,
and the other in the extreme north
west near Nome, little road five
miles long, which earned SSO, 900 net.
6. Coal fields formerly superfcially
known have been explored and inves-
t1gated, while new ones ofgreat val.
ue have been discovered.
