almost an obsession with the Ger.

recognize that these ships present
a problem that cannot be met with

are termed "hush hush" cruisers be-
of the supposed secrecy with
which they are being constructed. Cap

be $50 feet In length and probably
more effective naval units than any

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 eason 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 n d~fourth
months of Shalt, the months Of each OF
the ether seasons being designated In
the same manner Each month, how
ever, had a patron god and the people
ordinarily gave to 1t, In their daily In
