MASTERY OF THE NILE.
The Method by Which the Flow OIL
Water Is Controlled.

The Method by Which the Flow of
Water Is Controlled.
Every morning from q little room Of
q great white house ON the eastern
shore of the Nile at Assouan is clicked
by telegraph to Cairo the question
How much water?" The answer
comes so many thousand gallons more
or so many thousand gallons less. A
button is pressed, the water which
flows under the iron bridge at Cairo Is
increased or diminished some ten days
later in accordance with the telegraph
ic answer, and the intervening valley
between Assouan and Cairo has a lit
tie more or a little less water on its
surface. The man at the button may
bring Joy or sorrow to thousands Of
little farms-it Is all according to the
message he receives.
From the great white house there
extends across the river a granite wall
or dam $50 feet high. Halfway up
this wall and stretching its entire
length q line of shutters opens or
closes by a pressure of the button.
In the winter months huge lake ex-
pands to the southwark, which has ev-
cry appearance of being flood, for
in certain places the tops Of palm trees
are discernible above its surface, and
the SUBMITS of inundated ruins appar-
emily mark the sites of sunken cities.
AS the days go by and Cairo demands
more and more water the palm trees
and the ruins seem to rise from their
watery beds until in June and early
July the river flows freely with all its
historic ipdolence,-NewY York Times.

were moist.
When the room had been admired,
and the picture Of Princess Goldf1ocks
kissed fervently, and the housekeeper

A slender girl in the other garden
ran to the dividing hedge.

The Elevator Eyes.

One of the greatest hardships suffer
ed by men who run elevators In the
tall office buildings downtown is the
bad effect it has on their eyes. The
cars are run Mt Il high rate of speed,
and, as the men have to look straight
ahead of them most of the time, their
eyes soon feel the strain of the con-
slant motion.
''I've worked in the subway" re-
marked one of these elevator men,
land / thought that was pretty bad
but it isn't a patch to the way my
eyes feel after u days work in these
cars. II you ever run across an ele-
vator man who seems unusually bad
tempered toward the close of the busi-
ness day, just look at his eyes and you
will be apt to forgive him. They gen.
orally show the strain that has been
put on them for eight or ten hours. -

AN IMPLosIoN.
M Is,the Opposite of an Explosion and
Less Familiar.

l4 Ist%he Opposite of an Explosion and
Less Familiar.
Every one knows what an explosion
Is, but it's opposite, an implosion, is
lesss familiar. At great depths in the
sea the conditions are favorable for
its production. At $500 fathoms the
pressure is, roughly speaking, two and
q half tons to the square inch-that is
to say, several times greater than the
pressure exerted by the steam upon
the piston of powerful engine.
An interesting experiment to Illus
trate the enormous force of this deep
sea pressure was made on the Alba
tross. a government vessel engaged in
deep sea exploration.
A thick glass tube several inches In
length full Of air was Theoretically
sealed at both ends. This was wrap
ped in flannel and placed in one of the
wide copper cylinders used to protect
deep sea thermometers when they are
sent down with the sounding appa-
ratus. The copper cylinder had holes
bored in it, so that the water had free
access inside, round the glass. The
case was then sent down to depth
of 1000 fathoms and drawn up again.
It was found that the cylinder was
bulged and bent inward, just as If 1t
had been crumbled inward by being
violently squeezed. The glass tube
itself, within Its flannel wrapper, was
reduced to a fine powder, almost like
snow. The glass tube, it would seem,
as 1t slowly descended, held out long
against the pressure, but at last sud
denly gave way and was crushed by
the violence Of the action to fine
powder.
This process, exactly the reverse OF
an explosion, is termed an implosion.
