Miss Wilton looked rather bored when
her mother suggested that they spend
their second day in Cairo at the pyramids
of Gizeh.
Mother, the pyramids are tiresome, "
said Paula irritably. We have seen
them a dozen times within my recollec-
ton. It is much more interesting to sit
here on the terrace and watch the
crowds"
Mrs Wilton laughed comfortably.
We'll. do as you please, Paula; but, as
this is Ewes first visit to Egypt, am
going to take her out to see the Sphinx

Paula smiled tolerantly on her young
cousin. Eve Raymond was enthusiastic
and quite unsophisticated in spite Of her
twenty years. But Paula could not re-

bored her. Paula loved crowds and she
loved her own New York. She would not

WORK HAS BEEN MAPPED OUT
Modern Plans for tho Reclamation Of
Egypt Based on Those Made by
2 tho Earlier RlIaai

Igypt has drainage problems as
We'll as irrigation ones. Just at pres
ent, the Egyptian government is
pumping out Lake Mareotis, a sheet
of shallow, brackish water in the ex-
treme north of the delta, at the back
door of Alexandria. About million
acres of cultivable land will be re-
claimed by this work, though not all
at the same time. Other drainage
projects Of equal magnitude will be
taken up later.
Here, as in 80 many other cases,
the Anglo-Egyptian government is
following in the footsteps of the
more enlightened Pharaohs and
Ptolemies of ancient days. Lakes
were drained in Egypt 5000 years
ago. Where old-time kings used the
shadoof and the unpaid labor of fel-
lahin, modern rulers employ steam
and machinery; but the end aimed al
is the same.

PERPETUAL MOTION AT ZERO?
Electric Current Continued Indefinitely
In Coll Of Lead Wire Immersed
In Liquid Heiium.

A discovery which seems to be the
equivalent of perpetual motion was
described by Professor Whitehead at
a meeting of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers held recently
in Detroit, Mich. He declared that
by subjecting a closed coil of lead
wire to practically absolute zero tenn
perature, and starting flow of cleo
tricity therein by some external
means, Prof. Kamerlingh Onnes of
Leyden, Germany, has cucceeded in
maintaining continuous current
without the expenditure of energy.
To obtain the extremely low temper
ature necessary to make the expert
ment success the coil was immersed
in liquid helium. The current was
started in the wire by magnetic in
duction, the flow of electricity per-
sisting, it is declared, for four and
one-half hours after the magnetic in
fiuence was removed. 1t was stated
that if the experiment had not been
terminated when it way the current
would probably have continued to
flow Observation-Disclosures World.

STUDY TROPICAL AGRICULTURE

The proposed College of Tropical
Agriculture, in Ceylon, will be one
of the most imposing institutions of
the kind in the world, and already
great strides have been made toward
its completion. The college is to oc-
cupy 40 acres on the left bank of the
Mahawell river, opposite the Royal
Botanic garden at Peradeniya, at an
elevation of 1900 feet above sea
level. The main buildings, which
will cost 100000, are to be arranged
similarly to those of the Cornell COL
lege of agriculture, at Ithaca, N. Y.
The lectures will provide for two
groups of students. Men with de-
grees in agriculture who wish to spe-
cialize in tropical agriculture may
take a one-year course, while courses
of two years or more will be given to
less advanced students.

it that he has plenty of oats, rye,

The bond issue bill proposing
that $24 100000 of South Caro-
lima bonds be issued to meet the
present cotton emergency failed
to be submitted to the people in
yesterdays election because the
governor failed to return the bill
to the legislature with his sigma
ture. The bill was passed by
both houses and sent to the
governor for his signature Fri
day. Under the constitution he
has the right to hold such acts in
his possession three days, at the
expiration of which time the act
becomes law without the chief
executives signature, provided
the Legislature is still in session.
The governor refused to sign
the bill and neglected to veto it
and return it to the legislature
where an effort would have
been made to pass it over his
veto. The senate had tickets
printed and distributed to the
various counties ready to be
voted in the general election,
but as the governor could hold
the act in his possession until
last night the legislators saw that
1t would be impossible to have
the matter submitted to the
people in the Tuesdays election
and voted 10 adjourn Tuesday
morning at l:30 a. m. Thus the
most far reaching bond issue bill
ever proposed in South Caro- lima
was killed.

"The Little Millionaire" This play is

almost whole season.

said ut contains as many laughs as
there are Is in Roosevelt speech
and that's going some, and as for its
musical accessories, the songs young
Mr.. Cohan has composed for it are
among the most fascinating he has
written in recent years." Geo. M.
Cohan has given us many examples of
his skill at musical play construction
but it seems to be the concensus of
of critical opinion that in "The Little
Millionaire" he is at his best.
The scenes of "The Little Million

MISSISSIPPI WOMEN MAKE DE-

ASIDE from their fight for statutory

going to play prominent part in legis-
lation proposed at the approaching meet
ing of the state lawmaking body pro.
viding the session does not become too
stormy for the presence of the gentler
SEX which now seems imminent" says
the Jackson News.
The Mississippi Federation of Wom-
ans clubs and allied organizations have
named central committee, with Mrs.
Lizzie George Henderson of Greenwood.
daughter of the late Senator j. T.
George, as chairman. This committee
has issued an earnest address to the
lawmakers setting forth the reforms
they hope to accomplish,
The address first mentions an i'm
proved child labor law, the present
statute on that subject being regarded
as virtually dead letter, because no
proper machinery is provided for its
enforcement.
The committee next asks for a school
for the instruction of juvenile offenders
and detectives not state reforma-
tory, but an institution on more human
itarian lines.
The next measure proposed is n
statute raising the age of consent from
10 to Is years. For nearly decade the
late Mrs. Harriet B. Kells, president of
the state W. c. T. u, labored valiant
ly along these lines. and secured the
passage of bill raising the age of con
sent to Is years. The leading women

years higher.
The fourth request is for the physical
examination Of all public school chill.
dren-a modified system of medical in
spection in the schools, applying alike
to the cities and towns and rural dis
trcts.
The committee conclrdes with de-
mand for statute making women elig-
ible for the Offices of state and county
superintendent of education, on school
boards, and on the boards Of trustees
of the various state institutions.
The movement is in no way allied
with the fight for statutory suffrage,
although some oT he prominent leaders
are members of both organizations.
The address of the committee has been
placed in the hands of every member of
the legislature, and an executive com
mittec will be in Jackson immediate
ly after the lawmaking body meets
next week to push (their demands. /
