discharge would be sufficient for the ir- rigation of 800,000 acres of winter crop at the least" Considering that 1lO,OOO,OO0 gallons day is the discharge at the end of winter waterings in February, and that the discharge is some 4O,VOO,OOO day in December, and some SO0OO,oO0 a day in January, 1t would be safe 70 reckon the winter discharge of the Blue Nile sufficient for l .O00,000 acres. No at tempt has been made by Sir ". Car stin to calculate what use could be made of the flood in filling basins and raising crops by inundation of the land durlns flood. as is done in Upper Egypt without any winter wateringS.
 To distribute the winter water, dams are being built similar to the great delta dam, with the usual distributing canals and works on both sides of the river. The work will begin with the irrigation Of the northern portion Of the Ghezireh and of those tracts on the eastern bank lying to the north of Wad Medani. Here the country is open and comparatively free from bush and forest Moreover, from its vicinity to Khartoum and the railway, it would appear to lend itself to improvement more than do the re- Inoter areas to the south. This dam is being constructed at the point where the Rahad River joins the Blue Nile, so that the east bank canal will be car ried down to the north, without having to cross any stream of importance. In fact, the engineers are solving the iden- teal problem which faced Ismail Pasha's engineers, who were called upon to provide for the irrigation of the Khediye's sugar-cane estates in Middle Egypt, alongside chain of basins; a problem they solved without the help of a dam on the river as the existence of the coryee or unpaid labor system overcame the difficulty of want of ready money to pay for the large amount of eafthwork excavated. They dug tho Ibrahimia Canal, with a head open to the river, and at Derut, 70 miles from Assiout, they constructed regu- lators to distribute the water between the basin feeders and the perennially flowing canals. The dam and lbrahimia Canal head at Assiout, lately con structed, completed the scheme which Is now serving as a model for the Blue Nile project.

ural and inevitable addition to the Brit ish Empire. However, Menelik has been worked on and bribed and lied to so thoroughly and so slsilfully tha- his counter-intriguing of the French For eign Office. The key to the whole situa- tion is Lake Tsana.
 Lake Tsana is about the size of Lake Ontario and is the largest body of fresh water in North Africa. While not the chief source of the Blue Nile, which gushes through the Soudan five months in the year, and is merely a succession of shallow puddles the remaining time, 1t is the only possible hope of Soudan irrigation. And yet. now that it has lem of irrigating the Soudan is in many ways an easy one. The Blue Nile has none of the terrific falls which plagued the engineers who arranged for the con- trol of the real Nile.
 Vast Quantities of Water Available
 When calculating what the possibili- ties of Lake Tsana as a storage reser- voir may be, it will be as well to note what the natural discharges of the Blue Nile are and what supplementing they will require at certain seasons. The flood discharge varies from lO,O0O to 120, 900 gallons a second, sufficient for all land within reach. if the Soudan abstracts so considerable a quantity Of the flood as to affect the levels or the Nile in Egypt materially. this will be a matter of no consequence when all Egypt is converted to perennial lrrlga- ton. If 1t is not. so converted. then Egypt must meet the situation by max ing dams to produce artifcially the levels required as the volume of the flood will be always more than. suft1-. cient In high floods the reduction of the flood levels will be a relief to Egypt. It Is, therefore. evident that the flood supply is equal to all requirements. since a discharge of 10000 gallons second would fill 1000, 900 acres of basin in 30 days; though what the possible basin may become is one of those things which is not yet determined.
 In winter the Blue Nile discharge shrinks from 4,000 to 1000 gallons a sec ond, or, in other words. from $50. GOO ono million acres if the minimum discharee is used as determining the area, or for 1,5000 acres if the average discharge is taken.
 In summer the Blue Nile discharge at Khartoum may be anything between 2O00 gallons a second and nothing Tn 1903 it fell to nothing. So that, without storage of water, summer crops cannot be grown by i-rigauon from the Blue Nile And so comes the question of water storage and the consideration of the advantages offered by Lake Tsana as a reservoir.
 The area of lake Tsana itself is 3ooo square miles, and it's catchment. exclu- sive of the lake area, is 14,000 square miles. The rainfall is three feet each year, falling almost wholly in the four months of June. July, August and Sep tember. The proportion of the rainfall that reaches the Iake is 25 per cent The outflow from the lake is calculated to be so, 000,000 gallons (, day al an average for the year.

portions of the earth. that will be a big point gained. The two great systems of irrigation are known as basin and chan nel irrigation. Basin irrigation is where the water is run off into basins some seven or eight miles apart, and from each basin some 40 or 5O square miles of territory are supplied with water while III the channel irrigation the water sim ply runs down into little ducts or chan nels at the will of the farmers. The basin irrigation is more easily controlled and is under more even distribution, ow- ing to it's centralized method of handling the water, and in a decidedly lawless territory. such as the Soudon, the basin irrigation is far more practicable. At the same time both these systems can be carried on in the same territory. The basin system is more expensive, but the British engineers consider 1t the best for the Soudan for at least a century to come.
 Immediately to the south of Khar- toum a large number of basins are now being erected, which should irrigate about 1 000, 600 acres on that side of the river, and also feed the flood channels of 100000 acres which will be embanked and inundated every year in the upper Egypt basin system; These basin lands Berber. The Blue Nile will be relieved of a portion of it's labor after it reaches the Maroe Islands, where the Atbara River joins the Blue Nile and relieves somewhat the demand on the main stream of the Soudan.
 The true agricultural future of the tracts adjoining the Blue Nile does not, however, lie in the direction of summer irrigation, but rather in the development of those crops which can be ripened dur ing the summer months. The soil of the Gherizeh and of a large portion of the lands lying to the east of the river much resembles that of parts of Dakota, which produce the finest wheat. The soil of the two countries is very similar, but in the Soudan one important agent is wanting, viz: a winter rainfall. With out this, winter crops cannot be raised. except in comparatively small areas ad- jacent to the river. Canal or basin irri- gation must then be supplied as a sub stitute for the absence of rain in win ter. Were this provided the Province of Sennaar and the southern portion of the Province of Khartoum might become one of the finest wheat-producing areas in the world.
 Water in Winter Needed.
 The winter discharge of the Blue Nile falls by the end of January or Feb ruary amounts to 1000 gallons a second. or about TO. 900 gallons a day. Sir w. Garstin reckons that such a
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-12-11

declares that, managed in the same fashion as the irrigation of Egypt proper, at the end of 10 years the reve- nues derived from the Soudan irrigation should pay little over 101a per cent. on the investment, thus leaving clear per cent. to be poured into the sinking funds under Lord Cromer's control. The working out of these irrigation problems in Egypt have been the financial and human salvation of the country. Under Ismail Pasha the financial condition of Egypt could not have been worse.
 What We Will Do in the West.
 The American people have somewhat similar problem for them in the great West, which has already assumed the attitude of a national question, both the recent political platforms having de- elared in favor of prompt aid for the arid lands in the West. Humanity in general has become so accustomed to considering that what nature does is best that 1t is difficult to convince the average American that farming where irrigation is intelligently applied Is far more profitable and less laborious. The arid lands of the West when properly irrigated will undoubtedly form the gar
