WATERS OF THE NILE.

New York Times: Every morning
from little room of great white
house on the eastern shore of the
Nile, at Assouan, is clicked by tele-
graph to Cairo the question, How
mitch waterf" The answer comes, so
many thousand gallons more, or SO
mary thousand gallons less. A but
ton is pressed, the water which flows
under the iron bridge at Cairo is in
creased or diminished some ten days
later in accordance with the tele-
graphic answer, and the intervening
valley between Assouan and Cairo
has little more or little less water
on its surface The man at the button
may bring joy or sorrow to thous-
ands of little farms-dt is all accord
ing to the message he receives.
From the great white house there
extends across the river granite wall
or dam $50 feet high. Half way up
this wall, and stretching its entire
length, a line of shutters opens or
closes by pressure of the button
LII the winter months huge lake ex-
pards to the southwark, which has ev-
cry appearance of being flood, for,
iii certain places, the tops of palm
trees are discernible above its surface
and the SUBMITS of inundated ruins
apparently 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 incidence
Still the cry for water is Unsuitable.
and now the $50 feet of granite wall
will be heightened by twenty-three
feet, which will double the power of
the man at the button, and after that
no more palms or ruins will unfold
themselves, as the hot months come

from the surface of the lake The
palm trees will not be missed, but
what of the ruins? That is the trib
ute of the past which modern agri-
cultural Egypt is called upon to pay.
Just south of the granite wall is the
island which holds the amphibious
ruins. Twenty-three feet of granite
now stand between it and oblivion.
1t is named Philae, and is the burial
place of Osiris. A temple Of four
teen columns rises on its eastern bank
and on its western is the great Tenn
pie of Isis, begun by Ptolemy Phia
delphus and added to by the Roman
emperors. Its front is in the form of
a propylon before which is an ex-
pansivc court bounded by two CALLER
les, the column sides of which skirt
the shore for $50 feet Behind the
propylon are many halls and cham.
bers of curious and fantastic design.
The whelming waters of the winter
llolili9 ldNS pNSui thNi
work. Floors have sunken columns
fallen. and walls crumbled. The
twenty-three additional feet OF gram
tie will complete the work of devas-
tation. Phlae and it ruins will ne
yer again feel the sun of Egypt
1t was thought that the granite wall
across the Nile at Assouan, $50 feet
high, would provide perpetual irriga-
ton for the desert to the north That
was a mistake. But will the twenty
three additional feet to the summit
of the walls, which will forever bury
Philae, complete the work? Will the
man at the button in the great white
house ever have the power that JOS
eph had to direct, increase, or dimin-
ish the flow of the river? Joseph had
no Assouan dam, and no shutters to
manipulate by the pressure of but
ton. In what, therefore, did his pow
er to make Egypt perennially fertile
consist?

INVENTION OF FISHERMAN MAY
REvoLUTioNizE INDUSTRY.
Old Salt, At Gloucester Has . Device
Called "ths Jlsoer" Which May
Mean q Great Saving to the
New Enpianders.

Gloucester, Mass.-Capt. Angus
Hines, . weather-beaten fisherman.
has invented a new method of captur-
ing cod without bait that promises to
revolutionize the fishing industry of
New England. All along the coast.
from Maine to Cape Cod, the battless
method Of taking cod has become a
topic of interest.
For nearly q score Of years. the cost
Of salted clans. squid and cells and
other cod bait has been an important
factor in reducing the profts Of New
England fishermen.
Captains of fishing schooners that
aail from Boston, Cape Ann and Cape
Cod have been obliged to I'LL their
vessels' holds with bait in barrels be-
fore proceeding to the fishing grounds.
The salted CLAIMS have to be shipped
from Maine for this purpose. Often
days are spent on the fishing grounds
In capturing squid for bait.
Capt. Hines, who recently sailed In.
to Gloucester in his vessel, the Annie
II. Parker, with 375.000 pounds Of
cod, a record load, created a sensation
among fishing concerns by catching
fully half this cargo by means of his
latest tangled device for Turing the
cod from the depths.
Capt. Hines, when he started for
Sable island in May, carried 140 bar.
rels Of salted CLAIMS for bait. Before
returning he threw so barrels over
board and gave away 20 barrels to
other fishermen.
This new device for taking fish has
been named 1.-THE jlgger." 1t consists
of q nodded fsh-shaped piece Of
shiny lead, about eight inches long.
from the head of which projects a
pair of big hooks.
When Capt. Hines arrived on the
fishing grounds at Sable island last
May he discovered that the schools
of nsh were slow to take the clam
bait. Instead. the cod seemed to be
pursuing the herring which infested
the waters.
Confronted with this problem. the
captain set to work to solve 1t. 1t was
impossible to obtain herring enough
for bait, and the thought struck him
that a device made to deceive the cod
would solve his troubles.
With piece of lead the captain
fashioned little fish over the upper
ends OF two large cod hooks and
