Uncle Sam's Fast Warship.

In the scout cruiser Salem the United States possesses the fastest warship afloat. In the recent govern ment standardization trial over the measured mile course off Rockland, Me, this handsome vessel was driven at maximum speed of 26.SS knots and at an average speed for five runs over the mile course of 2595 knots. The Salem is equipped with Curtis turbines, type which has been devel- oped in this country. The Chester, a sister ship, is conceded to be the sec ond fastest warship afloat. Reports from across the ocean that the Brit ish Indomitable reached faster speeds than these are said to be lacking in verifcation.

Worlds Biuuest Dam.

The lake formed by the construction of the Assuan dam across the Nile is the largest artificial body of water, but this will be outstripped by what is known as the Engle project by which the waters of the Rio Grande are to be impounded for the benefit of the farm ing interests. The dam will be of con create. built between the bluffs or solid rock, and it's base will be 65 feet below the bed of the river. It's top will be 190 feet above the river bed, and 1t will be 1,150 feet long at the crest At the bottom the construction will be 1S0 feet thick and 20 feet at the top. Th:s will make a reservoir 175 feet deep and 45 miles long, cover ing 3S. 400 acres of ground. The water supply derived from this work will irrigate 200, 900 acres of land located in Texas. New Mexico and Mexico. The cost of the work will aggregate $7,2O0 000.

Benefit of Assuan Dam.

During the year 1907 the Nile reached the lowest level known in Egypt since 1877 and but for the ex- istence of the great dam at Assuan and the vast volume of water i'm pounded by it to supplement the low Nile during the season of drought the country would have been plunged into the horror of famine The year 1907 was the eighth successive lean year, so far as the Nile flood was con- cerned.
