Three Seasons In Year.

The Egyptian year was divided into
three seasons. These were Shalt, the
season Of waters, being the time occu-
pied by the rising spread and recess
sion Of the Nile: Pirut, the season Of
vegetation the Shonmu, the season OF
harvest. These seasons are supposed
to have been arranged by the god Thot.
Each season was divided into four
months and they were known In official
documents by numbers only. Thus we
have the first, second, third and fourth
months of Shalt. the months Of each Of
the other being designated In
the same name Each month, how
ever, had a patron god and the people
ordinarily gave to 1t, In their daily in
%tercOurse, the name Of it's god. These
deity names of the months were tran
scribed into Greek, then into Arabic
and are now largely used by the Chris
tian Inhabitants OF Egypt In prefer.
ence to the Mussulman a~ppellations.

GATUN LAKE Is BIG AFFAIR
Reservoir, Built by Americans, Far
Outcocs Anything Else That the
World Has Known.

The government fisheries bureau Is
planting Gatun lake with fishes. The
first shipment for the purpose, made
by steamer the other day, consisted OF
catfish. sunfish, carp and black bass,
all CT lingering" size. The bass were
planted In the Chagres river. the prin-
cipal tributary Of the lake.
a Pharaoh of the twelfth dynasty
constructed a reservoir (known today
as Lake Moeris) which covered G3
square miles. 1t was an artificial lake,
regarded in its day as one of the
wonders Of the world, and was de-
signed to regulate the flow of the Nile.
In its way it was the most remark
able engineering achievement Of an
tiquity. But Gatun lake, on the line
Of the Panama canal, beats Il. being
about three times as big. Its object
is similar-namely. to take care Of
the flood waters Of the Chagres river
and prevent them from doing mis-.
chief.
Gatun lake Is the largest artificial
body Of water ever known In the
world. It is. In fact, the most impor-
tant feature OF the tr~ansisthmian
canal. extending two-thirds Of the dis
lance from the Caribbean sea to the
Pacific ocean,.
1t occupies a basin that was dry
land before the canal was built; and
because the area covered by 1t Is very
billy and geographically irregular.
1t stretches In a multiple Of arms far
up into Its marshy shores.
One reason why its shores are
marshy is that In Its shadows there
develops with astonishing luxuriance
a kind of grass which sends out run
ners In all directions. On this account
its banks are not easily accessible
eye to small craft.
As for fishes, 1t is hoped that they
will multiply and furnish a worth
while food supply.

"Aush Hueh!" Crujeee.

The idea that Great Britain Is Sc
cretly constructing tremendous cruis-
ers, carrying batteries OF 15-inch guns
and travelling faster than any ma
val ships now float, has become
almost an obsession with the Ger
man press. whose naval experts
recognize that these ships present
a problem that cannot be met with
submarines. The new British cruisers
are termed hush hush" cruisers be-
cause of the supposed secrecy with
which they are being constructed. Cap
tain 0 Kuhlwatter, a famous Ger.
man naval authority. believes them to
be SS6 feet in length and probably
more effective naval units than any
yet constructed. No doubt the prime
cause of interest In their building is
the realization that a complete fleet Of
fast cruisers could annihilate a whole
squadron of slow and ponderous Ger
man d~readnaughts If the German fleet
ever again aspires to the open sea
In the Jutland and other fights such
a unit Of fast and heavily armed ships
might have cut off their retreat. That
England Is constructing q number OF
large battle cruisers of a new type Is
not denied by the admiralty.

In order to determine just when to release a bomb a n aviator must know
at what height he is flying. For this purpose he consults a barometer But in
osder that the knowledge which the barometer gives him may be of material
benefit in bomb throwing the aviator must also know at exactly what elevation
above sci level his target is. Therefore aviators have to study maps Of the
country which they intend bombing before starting out n a raid.
Next the aviator must know Mt what speed he Is travelling. This he can

Plan Appropriate Marking
Of Spot Where Washington
Crossed Delaware River

The project for marking the spot
where Washington crossed the Della
ware as reached by stage in both
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It
first gained real shape seven or eight
years ago, when the Washington's
Crossing Park commission Of New Jer-
sey prepared a plan for a grandiose
memorial. Land was to be acquired
on each side OF the river, laid Off into
n parks, and a splendid memorial
bridge built. The commission actu-
ally spent some $4,000 In buying 100
acres on the New Jersey shore. To
Its powers the state department Of
conservation have now succeeded, and
they propose a more modest memorial.
The 100 acres should be sold. the
house OF the Ferryman McConkey, who
supplied the patriot army with boats,
should be bought and restored, and the
entrance from the river to the old
Pennington road should be marked
with m arch. This will cost nothing
like the $250.000 original outlay, and
$4,000 annual maintenance required
for the original plan. Meanwhile q
commission has been appointed to
canvass the possibility Of acquiring
lan at Taylorville, Pr. to be develop
ed as q park to mark the starting point

ship which is in their vicinity. 1t is not necessary for a depth
bomb to touch a submarine or a ship in order to destroy It.
Joseph A. Steinmetz. president of the Aero Club of Penn
sylvania, has invented a depth bomb which is particularly
designed to be used against the U-boats. He has planned to
use a number of ligl-spced flying boats which can serve either
as aircraft or as boats on the surface of the water. One or
these boats would be used as q sort of scout to discover Turk
ing submarines.
At the moment Of discovery the seapane would notify
its sister craft. Some of these would endeavor to pass over
the submarine while floating on the water In their capacity
as boats. The seaplane on the water line would trail a depth
bomb. Its sister ship in the air would signal to 1t the move
ments Of the submarine, thereby enabling 1t to follow the
undersea craft. In order to keep the bomb from coming 70
the surface Of the water while it was being towed, an lnchheo
plate would be secured to the cable to which the bomb was
attached. The bomb itself is. provided with contacts which
would cause it to explode the moment 1t touched any object.
It is said TINT the average depth bomb contains $50 to
35O mounds of INT. When a destroyer sights a submarine
it makes a dash for 1t Mt full speed. When it has come within
a certain distance Of the submarine 1t drops a depth bomb
overheard. The bomb Is so constructed that 1t will be detO-
mated ut any desire depth. As 1t is not necessary for the
bomb to hit the submarine in order to destroy 1t. the time
