LONDON, Jan. 24-Work has been commenced on another great scheme to reclaim by irrigation vast tracts of desert in the Soudan. lt is believed 1t can te made to add enormously to the cotton output of the ritish Elm. pire.
 The tract which is to be watered is krown as the Gizra territory It lies between the lue and White Niles. be- low Khartoum. and consists of l.50O.. DOC acres. The force and flow of the two rivers is sufficient to water the entire district when properly har. messed. The proposal is to build two dams south Of Khartoum. one over each of the rivers. Thus the tract be- tween the streams will be irrigated. while at the same time the force of the water flowing into Egypt will be controlled. At present the Blue Nile comes down in a raging flow. aud the White Nile. flowing in steadier fash. ion. combines with it to make huge overflow. The building of the two dams will enable the flow to be properly regulated and will practi. cally mean the final harnessing of the Nile.
