When Columbus set sail in search of
new continent the wise men of his time
called him an adventurous fool. Yet he
djsc0Dered Americd. You may say that
was an accident. Yes, but it was the kind
of acct lent that happens only to men who
are looking for it. During long profess
ional practice DIR. David Kennedy, of
Kingston. N. Y, was continually watching
out for Il better medicine than any thus far
known for certain complaints. He could
not imagine when or how he should find it;
perhaps more likely indeedD he should
never find it ut all. SO he thought. But
the right idea came to him finally and the
result was the preparation called Calcura
Solvent. The name means solvent, or
DISCOVER, of stone, or chalk deposits, in the
kidneys or bladder; a remedy for the cure
of gravel, and of diseases caused by various
toxic or poisonous substances or acids III the
blood or glands. Experiment showed that
Calcura Solvent would cure red or white
gravel without pain or danger to the patient,
and expel from the system the uric acid
which causes govt and rheumatism. If it
did no more DIR. Kennedy's discovery would
stand as one of the most useful ones in the
history of medicine, but it is equally effect
i've in complaints of the digestive organs.

IRRIGATION IN EGYPT

What can be accomplished for
country by means Of Intelligent storing
OF its natural resources, has been IL
Illustrated in the ancient country OF the
Pharaohs. Egypt was once the gran
airy Of the civilized world, But the
country was permitted to fall into
ruins. like the rest OF Turkish domain
until Great Britain undertook to look
after its interests. Under this regime
II Is well advanced toward It's ancient
prosperity.
Last year the dam at Assouan was
completed. The river Nile, when per-
mitted to empty It's waters into the sea,
without human interference, made a
rather small strip of territory produce
tive. The entire strip, Including the
delta was not more than 1850 square
miles. But the dam at Assouan has
added 20 per cent to this cultivable area.
The first works for irrigation saved the
country from bankruptcy by develop
ing a cotton crop worth sSoOOO,OOO a
year
This Assouan dam has, according to
the accounts published, created lake
about three times the area OF Lake
Geneva, In Switzerland, at on actual
cost of about sl25O0,OOO. Lord Cromer
reports that il will increase the earn
ing power OF Egypt fully $4,000 600 an
nually which means that II VIII pay
for itself every twelve months. This
great reservoir win permit the addi-
tional irrigation of 100000 acres, and
will bring additional revenue to the
Egyptian government, In shape Of land
taxes, of sl,9OO,OO0 per year, This great
dam is a mile and a quarter long, It's
thickness at its deepest part Is eighty
two feet tapering TO twenty-t three feet
at the top. The height is l3l feet The
maximum head" Of the impounded
water Is slxty-fye feet and when the
dam Is full the volume OF water is cal
culated at 2Si, 300, OOO. 900 gallons
This is great object lesson to the
United States. And 1t should be les
son to other countries, too. II Is clear
ly not necessary to fight for the expan-
sion Of territory, as long as empires
can be created Of the material already
extant in all parts of the world, The
United States has entered upon irriga-
,lon schemes on large scale. From
Egypt an idea may be formed of the
vast additions TO the national wealth.
that Will come from these schemes,
when carried out according 10 the in
tentlon.
