keeping them intact and high and dry

How futile was this expectation is
shown by the fact that it is now posi-

possible to walk around on the floor .
In order to provide for this condition
the engineers before erecting the dam
took the precaution of strengthening the
foundations of the temple Bubble ma

the foundations, SO that the rush and
swirl of the waters could not dislodge
the worship of Isis.
When Ptolemy II put up the temple he
built 1t to last. The designers were Ro-

architecture that even in Rome were con-

be in that well balanced proportion that
is essentially Greek.
In his lavish generosity Ptolemy de-
cided that the structures should be built

and In every detail the very limit OF
wealth and labor must be expended to get
a perfect result.

Peerless Mel is in grand trim and
