EGYPT BEGINS TO USE
AGRICULTURAL MACHINES
Corn Cob Grinding Mills Might
Find Market

The British vice consul at Alexan-
dria reports that considerable progress
has been made in the employment of
modern agricultural machinery. One
hrm imported more than dozen reap
ing and moving machines during the
year, all of which were sold and are
working satisfactorily.
The conditions which exist In Egypt
are, for the most part, no less favorable
than those prevailing In India. and any
labor saving machinery specially
adapted to the undeveloped markets Of
India might also be in demand in
Egypt. Cheapness and simplicity are
essential. Since coal is relatively ex-
pensiye, oil engines or steam engines
up to certain size with boilers de-
signed for use with oil fuel would
prove most suitable to local conditions.
The majority of the population d.
pehds for its support on small hold
ings" of from one-half to five acres.
Up to the present agricultural machin-
cry has been little used, as the lack
of roads prevents cooperation. This
Limitation will gradually decrease in
Importance with the making of good
country roads, and joint ownership of
the more expensive machinery would
then be possible.
An opening eNists in Egypt for corn
cob grinding mills. Egypt produces
about 100000 tons of corncobs each
year, which are at present used as fuel.
1t is recognized, however, that they
are capable of forming good fodder
for cattle, when finely ground. either

acted tribute from his deputies in the
form of regular percentage of their
monthly salaries
The investigation of Dalton's rela-
tions with the public service corpora
tions was prompted by the charges of
Leslie Blackburn, former henchman OF

SIERRA LEONE PEOPLE
ARE WELL DRESSED
Clothes Are Imported From
Tailors in England

In commenting on the fact that 81, ,005
parcels were received from the United
Kingdom al the postof1ces In Sierra
Leone, Africa, last year the British
colonial governor there says;
This is explained by the fact that
the Sierra Leoneans to a large extent
import their clothes from the tailors
in England, whose advertisements
with self f-measurement forms-come
under their notice. This applies par
ticularly to the men who, as a class.
are extremely well and stylishly
dressed. Many of the Sierra Leonean
ladies also send to England and Paris
for their dresses
The future prospects of trade in
Sierra Leone appear bright. There is
no sign of diminishing activity in the
import business. The cargoes landeo
here are larger and more varied than
at any previous time in the colony's
history. Larger consignments of goods
imply greater purchasing power in the
importing country"

Mining under the sea is continued to
a considerable extent in Great Britain,
says the Chicago Tribune 1t was only
a short time ago that the overhead seas
of the Whitehaven mine burst through
the sea floor and drowned scores of men
in the workings, making the further
resumption of work impossible.
Workington, "a near neighbor to
Whitehaven, once had It's undersea
mine into which one day the waters of
the Irish sea suddenly burst drowning e
the 36 men who were working out the
coal In all of this mining the sea floor
ordinarily is only a few yards above
the workers heads and the uncertainty
of the ocean bed lends the chief risk to
the workings
Stories are stold of the times when.
under influence of heavy storms break
ing on the coast, the Atlantic drove in
with thunderous sounds upon the thin
strata lying between the miners and
the water Mighty boulders were flung
about, crashing and grinding on the
ocean bottom until the stoutest hearted
workers in the mine ran in terror from
their work. Among the workers deaf
ness because of the thunders of the
ocean was common. and men left the
mine often in hysterical condition
To this day, however, visitors in quiet
weather may explore many of its gall

under the quietest sea rolling just

might earn their bread.
A few years ago geologist, who was
one of a party of visitors under escort
of officials of the mine. wandered away
few yards as the rest of them talked.
