Egypt in Flood Time.
Few people have any idea of the work the
Egyptians do in irrigating and taking care
of their farms. The task of keeping these
basins in order Is hercuIean. AS the Nile
rushes in. the embankments are watched as
the Dutch watch the bikes of Holland.
They are patrOlcd by the village headmen
ana the least break IS filed with stalks OF
mnlet and earth. The village officials have
the right to call out the people to help, and
sometimes overhows into the villages and
the mud huts crumbIe. During the food the
people go about in boats from village to
village. The donkeys, buffalOes and bull
locks live on the bikes. as do also the goats,
sheep and camels.
Tie people SOW their crops as soon as
the floods subside. Harvest comes on with
in a few months. and without they have
some means of irrigation, outside the Nile
floods they must wait until the following
year before they can plant again. IF they
can have a dam Ike this at Assouan the
Nile can be kept high throughout the year
and they can grow crops all the year round.
This is already the condition in a great
part of the delta and it is aimed to extend
1t to the farms of upper Egypt.

that make the original remarkable.
The idol consists uf the head Of a TOitec
divinity carved from block OF pure white
marble. 1t is almost the exact size OF
human head, measuring nine ana three
eigllths inches in width, six AMI ive-eicutEs
inches in height and four and iive-e-ghtLs
inches in thickness The textures are en-
tirely distinct from any other known Mex
can sculpture. exhibiting Us they do somo
of the prominent ClardC 'er.sti,s Of b-il
Egyptian and Indian types. From tie front
the head is decidedly more g2pt.an team
1t is Mexican. The fat nose and the thick
lips are very similar to the carvings Of
the ancient Egyptians. but the Side view
is distinctly Mclean. as Is snCvl by tie
bread slop-ng forehead. The head IS cox
ercI by a cowl or yea. as was tie custom
Of the ancient sculptures, i, being an I'M
possibility for them 20 carve an imitation
of the human ear with the rough stone
tools at their command. IN ono "' tie
checks is pierced q very pcculi-r hole.

The remarkable feature about the idol is
not the fact that it greatly differs from
other Mexican sculptures or that It SHOWS
q most wonderful combination of the facial
characteristics of tie people Of the old and
