Nile Dam and Its Effect.

Philadelphia Press.
AT enormous expense of money add
labor the British government con
structed a mighty dam across the Nile
river at Assousan. The purpose Of
this great reservoir is to store up the
guperAuous water when the annual
floods come. This supply is fed cut
gradually during the part of the year
when there Is the usual drouth. AT
certain seasons the Nile brings down
from the vast region of lake and noun
tain in Central Africa far more water
than is needed at the time to refresh
the wide valley. Consequently tho
Assouan dam looked like boon to
the whole of Egypt, which would per-
ish without this one river.
Now comes a curious complaint That
the quality of Egyptian cotton is de-
terforating. That country is one Of
the chief cotton.producing lands II
the world, although its annual prod"tt
is scarcely more than tenth of that
in the United States. But while the
quantity was not so great, the quality
in former days was of the first order.
in seeking for reasons to explain Why
The cotton is now of poorer fiber than
formerly many planters have conclud-
ed that the absence of the old-time
Nile floods is responsible. The waters
Of the great river at such times were
laden with an alluvial sediment that

enriched the soil and made the cot
ton of fine quality. The Assouan dam

ONE DIVIDING
MARYLAND AND

VIII SOON HE DETERMINES BY
THE coURTstV 81 ylRaIN=
las g AIM s SUPPORTED
BY DOCUMENTS.

Z Perhaps before another year goes
by the boundary line between Mary
land and West Virginia vii; have
been settled; at least the attorneys
and those interested in the case
hope that the Supreme court Of the
United States will settle the dispute
within that time.
The suit was brought by Maryland
against this State in 1891, to settle
the boundary line between the two
States and since that time 1t has been
threshed through the courts. In this
case Maryland had revived the old
claim that her boundary goes to the
head spring of the south branch Of
the Potomac river, instead of the. north
branch, where it has always been held
ito be. She also claims that il she
can't go to the head spring Of the
south branch she is entitled to line
considerably farther west Than the line
run from the Fairfax stone. Accord
ing to this claim she would recover
from West Virginia strip Of land
about thirty-six miles in length and
one and one-quarter miles in width
off the eastern Side Of preston coun-
ty
The State of West Virginia insists
that the Fairfax stone, which was
planted in 174G at the head of the
north branch OF the Potomac river, is
the point from which the t'oundary
line must run and she claims that
this boundary line was run and locat-
ed in 1889 by Francis Deakin. It was
found upon a scientific survey made
in 1853 that the Deakin line from the
Fairfax stone was not a aue north
line and at that time a line was run
by Lieutenant Atichler,. which is rec
ognized as the due north line.
Virginia and West Virginia have
already claimed the Deaktn lire to be
the correct line, but tht Maryland au-
thorities have. since. 1859, generally
claimed the Michler line. Territory
between these lines is a triangle, hav-
ing as It's apex the Fairfax stone, ex-
tending to the Pennsylvania, line,
where 1t is three-fourths OF a mile
wide. While the claims of MARYLAND

Of the Potomac, or to the new line re-
Gently set up west of the Fairfax
stone are seriously contended for by
her counsel, yet the counsel for the
state Of West Virginia feel confident
that these claims cannot be sustain
