Opening Up the tributaries.
Nevertheless. one of the projects
contemplates the opening up Of these
tributaries Of tho Nile. It Is believed
that the Bahr ell Iaraf could BIO so
banked up that 1t would carry the
volume Of the Nile and keep tout
of the swamps, and thus save the enor-
nous amount OF water wasted by evap-
grafton. Tho river would have to BIO
banked up between Bor and Lake No,
and In that case It could probably
carry the Niles summer water supply.
The Bahr Ell Jebel will also be opened
up for navigation. and by some means
or other great part of the river
water will be held In Its course, These
schemes would mean an expenditure Of
millions Of dollars, ] think the esti-
mate Ia about 100000.

tons. Raising the sur
face of Lake Victoria little over q
yard will store thirty-tive times as
much In addition to it's present enor-
nous Contents.
There Is one obstacle. however, to
such an undertaking. The rising OF
the lake might flood parts of German
East Africa, and II so the Kaiser
would probably object. Dams at the
mouth OF Lake Albert would result In
the storage OF 100000 tons for
every meter Of height, and the two
lakes together would have for eacl,

pacity OF $4,000. 900, 900 tons-an
amount beyond conception enormous,

from tho standpoint of the conditions

gineers hero estimate it tho regula-

other Professor Bordas, as the pubs
lIshed accounts relate, took his newly
created gems to n leading lapidary
jeweler. from whom he had purchased
the corundum crystals, who identified
and tested them and found that they
had been converted into topaz, n
ruby, and a sapphire which fulhlled
all the tests and requirements Of
natural stones,
He then obtained from the same
jewelor q new series OF corundum
crystals in pairs. each pair OF an ex-
actly similar color. One stone of each
pair was exposed for month to the
action of radium the other retained for
comparison, and the result of this
second experiment was the same as
before. The light reddish corundum,

The possible effect of this discovery
upon the trade In jewelry and precious
stones can be readily inferred, Ra-
dunn Is as yet one Of the rarest and
most precious substances known to
science, but the duration of its power,
Is practically unlimited, and since one
m'lligram (0.0l5i grain) of radium Is
sufficient to convert several corunduul
crystals into precious stones within
the space OF a month. and since this
process may be repeated indefinitely
With the same speck OF radium, 1t Is
naturally, though perhaps prematurely,
assumed that this latest discovery may
have an Important Industrial value

tho commercial prices OF certain pre-
