spent many years In Egypt compiling a
1aborious record of it's people and their
industries, goes into considerable detail
with regard to the workers at the mines
of Akita, located in the old river course
known as the Waddy AllakL The same
mines are mentioned by Agatharchides
who wrotes some $50 years before Christ.
But even more precise testimony Is
forthcoming from a papyus preserved at
Turin, which was discovered In the ruins
of Thebes. This unique document, sup
posed to have been written in the 18th
century before Christ, contains a map of
the mines of AlSita and makes the posi-
ton not only of the mines themselves,
but also of the miners houses the wells
from which they drew their water and
the roads leading 70 the shafts. The pa
pyrus states that the mines of Akita
were were first exploited by the Pharaoh
sethos /, who also sank a well in the
desert in the hope of finding water. This
task he abandoned. but II was resumed

One area of some 5000 square miles was
apportioned in 1901 to the Nile Valley
Company, which has its headquarters in
London. The area Is bordered on the
west by the Nile about midway between
the first and second cataracts and Is
traversed by the famous wady referred

obvious suggestion is that the outlet
for this congestion in the London la
Dor market is emigration to the colo
MES, but this is not feasible for the
great majority of workers out of en-
ployment. The glut in the labor mar
ket to which reference is made applies
to unskilled labor II Is to be found in
most cities, but probably nowhere else
in greater degree than in London. The
professions Of the unemployed in that
city In times of special depression are
formidable affairs. ana consist very
largely of unskilled labofers.

The larger cities of Morocco still have
slave markets. at which auctions are
held twice a week. Girls fetch from SIS
to $3.50 according to their beauty. which
is practically synonymous with weight.
Most of them come from the Sudan. The

who are not at all inclined to be nervous

this.
