LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE NILE
Not Much Use Made Of Water Trans
portation in Egypt.

1t is curious fact that the Nile and
most of the canals in Egypt run north
and south. The wind blows nearly all
the year from the north, and thus fur
nishes the cheapest propelling power
for boats going south. When the boats
return north the rapid current Of the
Nile is the motive power. The regu-
larity of the wind and the steadiness
of the current are two reasons why
boats propelled by any other power
are so little used. Time is not so i'm
portant an element in business in
Egypt as in some other countries, and
1t does not matter, therefore, that
boats propelled by wind or current are
slow. But not so much use is made
of water transportation In Egypt as
one might think in view Of the possi-
bilities offered by the Nile and the
many canals throughout the Delta.
The Nile is navigable for many hun
dred miles. The first cataract Is at
Assouan. but there Is no interruption
of traffic until Wadi Halfa is reached.
800 miles from Cairo. The primary
object of the canals is to distribute
water for irrigation, but they are real
ly broad and deep water courses. easi-
ly navigable by sailing boats and
small steam tugs. With Egypts awak-
ening the value of these canals will
soon be realized.

INJURY WROUGHT BY WEEDS
Seeds Of Many Plants VIII Retain
Their Vitality for Fifteen to
to Twenty-Five Years.
tRy H. H. sHEPARp.l

Weeds rob the soil of moisture. Ex-
periments show that for most of the
cultivated grasses from three to five
hundred pounds of water must actual
ly pass through the plants to produce
single pound of dry matter.
This Is doubtless the most import
ant of the weed injuries, for 1t must
not be forgotten that the moisture In
the soil is the all important thing.
Ask the average farmer why he cul'
tvates. his corn and he will say ito
kill the Weeds" when as matter OF
fact 1t should be for the purpose OF
conserving moisture In the soil. The
weeds are killed purely as an incl
dental matter A perfectly clean corn
field needs cultivation as badly as
weedy one.
Weeds crowd the cultivated plants,
depriving them of light and space In
both soil and air.
Weeds rob the soil of food element
required by other plants.
Weeds harbor Injurious insects and
plant diseases.
Weeds sometimes injure by killing
farm stock, or by rendering their pro-
duct unstable.
Annual and bi-annual weeds are
produced almost entirely from seed.
Plants Of these classes especially
spring up in the most unexpected
places. 1t has been found that the
seeds of many weeds will retain their
vitality for 15 to 25 years, possibly
longer, and not all of the given years
seed grows In any one year.
This great vitality will explain In
part at least why 1t Is so hard to- COM
pletely eradicate any weed from a
given piece of land, even though all
reseeding may be prevented.

Pure-bred Colts Pay.

Good, pure-bred colts are worth at a
very conservative estimate at least
5000 per head as yearllngs. The cost
Of raising them is but little greater
than that of raising good grade colts,
aside from the greater initial cost Of
the mares. When we take into con.
sideration the fact that pure-bred
mares are sold at from $500 to $500
per head, while good grade mares are
worth from $3.50 to $3.50 per head, II
may be readily seen that the mature
mares will sell much closer to grade
mares than pure-bred colts will to
grade colts. Pure-bred yearlings that
are brought along in flrst-class shape
very frequently sell at from 5000 to
$3.50 per head.

telling himself humorously: "Hang
the expense! Maitland pays" Of
which fact the weight in his pocket
was assurance.
Maitland. Anisty's thoughts
verged off upon an interesting tan
gent. What was Maitland's motive in
arranging this meeting? 1t was self
evident that the twain were of one
world-the girl and the man of fash
icn. But, whatever her right of her.
itage, she had renounced it, declassing
herself by yielding to thievish in.
stincts, voluntarily placing herself on
tie level of Anisty. Where she must
remain, for ever.
There was comfort in that reflection
He glanced up to find her eyes bent in
gravity upon him. She, too, it ap-
peared, had fallen prey to reverie
Upon what subject? An absorbing
one, doubtless, since it held her abb
stracted despite her companions di-
rect unequivocally admiring stare.
The odd light was flickering again in
the cracksman's glace. She was then
more beautiful than aught that ever
he had dreamed of. Such hair as was
hers, woven seemingly of dull flames,
lambent, witching! And eyes-beauti-
ful always, but never more so than at
this moment, when filled with sweetly
pcnsive contemplation. Was
she reviewing the last "a hours, dream
ing of what had passed between her
and that silly fool, Maitland? If only
Anisty could surmise what they had
said to each other, how long they had
been acquainted; If only she would
give him hint, leading word!
If he could have read her mind, have
seen behind the film of thought that
clouded her eyes, one fears Mr.. Anisty
might have lost appetite for an excel
lent luncheon.
For she was studying his hands, her
memory barking back to the moment
when she had stood beside the safe,
holding the bulls-eye.
In the blackness of that hour a disk
o. light shone out luridly against the
tapestry Of memory. Within its radius
appeared two hands, long, supple,
strong. immediately white, graceful
ard dexterous, as delicate of contour
as woman's, yet lacking nothing Of
masculine vigor and modelling; hands
that wavered against the blackness,
fumbling with the shining nickeled
disk Of combination lock.

CHAPTER vIl.-continued.

1t was very plain-tO a deductive
reasoner-from the girls attitude to-
ward him that she had fallen into re-
lations of uncommon friendiness with
this Maitland. young as Anisty be-
lieved their acquaintance to be. There
had plainly been hirtation-where-

forbearance; he had been fascinated
by the woman, had not hesitated to
take Anisty's name (even as Anisty
was then taking his) in order to pro-
long their intimacy.
So much the better. Turn about
was still fair play. Maitland had sown
as Anisty; the real Anisty would reap
the harvest. Pretty women interested
him deeply, though he saw little enough
OF them, partly through motives of
prudence, partly because of refine
ment Of taste; women of the class of
this conquest-by-proxy were out of
reach of the enemy of society. That
Is, under ordinary circumstances. This
one, on the contrary, was not; what
ever she was or had been, however
successful a crackswoman she might
be, her cultivation and breeding were
as apparent as her beauty; and quite
as attractive.
A criminal is necessarily first gam
bier, a votary Of Chance; and the
blind goddess had always been very
kind to Mr.. Anisty. He felt that here
again she was favoring him. Maitland
he had eliminated from this girls life;
Maitland had failed to keep his en-
gsgement, and so would never again
be called upon to play the part of
burglar with her interest for incentive
and guerdon. Anisty himself could
take up where Maitland had left off.
Easily enough. The difficulties were
insignificant; he had only to play up
to Maitland's standard for while, to

advantages, educational and social,
