EGYPT USES MOTOR FLOWS.
Cattle for Traction Not Plentiful in
 Land of the Pyramids.

Land of the Pyramids.
 Owing to the lack of cattle for trac- tion in Egypt there has been consid- erable development in the use of agrl- cultural steam englnes-already em- ployed for long time On the khedivlal estates and on some other extensive properties-as well as an increase in trials of various new patterns of light motor blows. In importing steam blows or motor blows two different demands have to be distinguished and met by entirely different forms of machine.
 On the one hand, there is the re- qurement of the proprietor of large farms which is a steam blow of power full and solid construction, capable of performing in limited. time large amount of work both as regards depth of blowing and area covered. Hence the weight and dimensions of the en- zine and the price of the blow com plete are not the most important con- alterations provided that the relation between the cost of working and the work done is satisfactory.
 The second kind of mechanical blow should be chiefly appropriate to the needs of the small landowner and ca pablo of being used contingently on the small tenant farms or for lesser crops cultivated in remote districts. From this standpoint the chief requisites in these machines are lightness and re- duced dimensions, which, however, should not prevent considerable amount of work being performed and ease of manipulation. As one may easily understand, the working capacity of such a blow can not be compared with that of the heavy blows first mentioned, but the article will answer the purpose if it gives slightly better results than can be obtained with oxen and if it's working cost Is as far as possible no greater.
 In many districts in Egypt steam blows are operated by native labOrers, supervised only occasionally by Flu ropean mechanic These who are ac- quainted with the negligent, clumsy and violent fashion in which all new machinery is treated by the native in the country districts will realize how much importance is attached to solidity of construction in these machines. Eventually the importation of blows operated by alcohol motors and capa- ble of heavy work will be possible, for alcohol is manufactured on large scale in the neighborhood of Cairo and spirit suitable for motors should in the future be obtainable at low price. At present prices of alcohol In Egypt, how ever, the use of an alcohol motor blow would hardly prove any cheaper than steam blow using coal.

The Salyelinus fontinaiis, which is

trout, was supposed for many years to
be small fish. Agassiz was largely
instrumental In exploding this fallacy.
II is not an uncommon thing for an
angler with ordinary luck TO get six
or seven pound trout OF this variety.
II is known that a trout may grow to
weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There

END OF THE UNIVERSE.
How n VIII Come According tn the
NprseIand Myth.


one Of the most striking Of the Morse
! land myths Is that IN which is pictured
the esd of ihc universe, when all the
! gods of Asgard and Nifiieheim and the
/ inhabitants OF Jotunheim and Alkgard,
together with their habitations, would
be destroyed. That this catastrophe
would come TO all the visible creation
they firmly believed, for their untaught
minds could not conceive OF immON
tality
And this is how they pictured the
fearful time: Three winters would
come upon the earth, one after another,
without the tempering influence OF a
single summer. Snow would fall from
every quarter of the heavens, wild
storms would sweep over the earth,
with tempestuous winds that nothing
could Withstand, and the sun would
lose it's heat.
Three other winters would succeed
the first three, during which red Wis
aged war would stalk over the uni
verse, leaving blood and death in its
ruthless track. Then the earth would
begin 10 trcmble in uncomfortable fear
the sea would rush from its bed, the
heavens would be rent and the eagles
OF the air would feast upon the still
quivcring flesh OF multtudes OF men
slain without warning.
FenriS, the wolf monster, would
throw of his bonds; the Midgard ser
pcnt. whose gigantic form encircled the
world, would rise from It's lair, and
Loki, the evil genius Of the universe,
would desert the gods and go back
among their enemies. Surtur would
lead his followers To the Bfrost bridge,
dcvouring flames before and behind
them, and, having destroyed il in
their passage, they would join Loki
and the frost giants OH the battlefield
Of Nigrid where Fenris, the Midgard
serpent aud the hosts OF IIela had al
ready assembled.
Meanwhile Heimdall, the watchman
OF Asgard, the abode OF the gods, would
sound the alarm with the Giallar horn,
summoning the celestial cohorts TO the
field. Odn, clad in all the splendor
Of his supreme office, would lead forth
the gods in martial array. Fenris,
pressing forward, would throw him
self upon Odn with n fierceness that
the deity could not withstand, and the
All Father would fall, pierced with a
thousand wounds from the monsters
fangs.
Then Nldar. the son OF Odn, would
fall like II thunderbolt upon the blood
rceking wolf and avenge his celestial
fathers death. Thor, the all powerful
would Slay, with his great hammer,
the Midgard serpent, but even as the
monster gave up it's life It's vcnomous
breath would wreak vengeance upon
the slayer and Thor would sink down,
suifocatcd 20 death.
Meanwhile Loki aud Hcimdall have
been seeking each other, and, having
met, they would fight with the fury Of
demons until both were slain. Thus
all over the bloody field gods and
giants, good spirits and evil. would
meet and slay each other, and when
the dreadful carnage was ended Sur
tur would send his fiery flames abroad,
and the universe would hc burned.
The sun would lose its light. the
earth would disappear, the stars would
fall from heaven, and time would be
no more.
