rates the sulphur is released and we get
sulphuric acid, only a trace perhaps. but
enough to burn the eve worse than. nj
trate of silver does. In addition the force
with which this released liquid Is driven
against the eyeball causes added injury.
In golf balls with an acid core, the in
jury would be worse. This liquid is a
trade secret and its nature could not be
determined without an analysis Sui
phuric acid is bad enough and in suffi-
cient quantity might work serious dam

Hydro-Aeroplane Meet at Monaco

L rom fOpuldT MeCndnlCS.
That there are only two ways of making
servicabe hydro-aeroplanes was the
most valuable lesson learned in the in
ternational meet held at Monaco in
April, where many of the machines met
with disaster in getting clear of the
water or in lighting. One way is to
make the machine so big and strong
and powerful that it will come easily
off the top of the first wave. In either
case power is the thing to be given first
consideration, and the machine should
be made as efficient possible to uti-
lie the power to the best advantage.
1t Is not a difficult matter to design
floats that will come off calm water
easily, but these same floats may be
useless when under water. or when slam
ming head first into sea, unless there
is enough power to drag the whole
machine out of the water. much after
the manner of pulling a cork. The float
for sea work is not the one that gets
off best, but the one that pulls out
easiest. and after that the best float
is the one that offers the least rcris-
tance when flying Much of this diff
Guilty would seem to be due to the Euro
pean practicing OF using twin floats in
stead of a. snsle-hul boat, as in Amer
lea, where little difficulty has ben ex-
perienced.

Big Dam Across the Nile

From the Baltimore Sun.
The greater Assouan dam, which will
store twice as much water as the first
section. which was completed In 1902. is
now finished. 1t will furnish enough
water from the Nile, the London Times
states, to do away with the system of
basin irrigation, in use for thousands of
years. and the fertile fields of Egypt can
now be cultivated all the year round. The
original dam, which cost about 1880. 900,
provided storage capacity of 9s4,OoO.O0l
cubic meters of water; the present struc-
ture for about 1000 100000.
Ninety years ago the Egyptian govern
men took the first steps for greater
water supply but it was not until 1859
that the British engineers, headed by
William Wilcocks, brought forth the So
luton by proposing to dam the Nile at
Assouan. The project was too AMBITIOUS
to secure financial support until Sir Ern-
est Cassel. in 1898. provided the necessary
funds. The first dam was begun FEB
ruary. 1902. year ahead of time 1t Is
the most important of public works OF
Egypt since Menes constructed the dixie
across the river at Memphis, making pos
sible basin irrigation. the wonder of en-
gineers to this day.
Basin irrigation cost about $15 an acre
in 5000 acre areas; from s25 to $50 on
small tracts and land rented at from $40
to $25 an acre per year. Irrigation all tne
year round. now made possible, costs w
an acre and the rents are from $2o to $4o.

Has More Than Fair Share

II must be remembered, however. that
ireland has to support more than her
lar snare of the mentally diseased, owing
70 the practice prevalent in many COM
hluhltles in America and the British col
ONES OF shipping home emigrants who
become chargeable to the public authori-
TIES there. Mental failure is more com
mon among the emigrants than among
the stay-at-homes, owing to the strain
OF lille in new and unfamiliar surround
ings, so that Ireland, while losing her
pest by emigration, has to take back
practically all the failures. Another fire.
qnent cause of mental breakdown is the
deadly dullness of the country towns and
villages, which often leads TO excessive
drinking and consequent insanity,
An analysis of the emigration figures
for last year shows that the United
States is still the most attractive country
for Irishmen who leave home. Out OF the
total of 29,799 emigrants 90 is6 went. to
America. while the British colonies got
practically all the rest.
An interesting set of figures deals with
the emigration since 1851, when records
first began to be kept and it must be
remembered that the famine years pre-
ceding that date drove out many thou
sands. In 60 years Ireland lost 4,247,560
people by emigration, a number practical
ly equal to her total population today.
