Plan to irriQate EQypt.

For many years projects have been under consideration for obtaining such complete control of the waters of the upper Nile as will enable Egypt to develop its agricultural resources to the utmost and to secure the cOun- try against the dangers of excessive floods. while permitting the Sudan also to develop to some extent its own vast resources.
 The works contemplated will extend over a generation and involve the ex- penditure of tens of millions of dol lars, affecting the entire future of irri- gation throughout the Nile basin.
 The commission, 1t Is reported, will consist of three members: An irrigation engineer nominated by the government of India as president and a British physicist nominated by the University of Cambridge, while to draw on the wide experience available in America on questions of irrigation and water supply, and still further to strengthen the independence of the commission, an irrigation engineer nominated by the government of the United States will constitute the third member.

Keep Up Old Custom.

"Wetting the block" an ancient English custom, is still kept up in many villages in Berkshire and Hamp- shire. says London Tit-Bits. The shoe makers of these two counties used to meet together on the evening of the first Monday in March and celebrate the fact that they had ceased working by candlelight. On these occasions there was sometimes a supper pro- vided by the employer, and there was always & little to drink. After the meal was ended the block candlestick was placefin the middle of the room and the shop candle was lighted. and when all glasses were filled the oldes hand poured the contents of his glas over the candle to extinguish it.

1unQSten.

Nearly everybody is familiar with the tungsten filament electric lamp. but few are aware that the filaments which give so effective a light are made from metal without ever having been fused. The melting point of tungsten Is about 5000 degrees C.. (5.432 degrees F), temperature which has been beyond that attainable In any ordinary metallurgical furnace. A method of actually fusing this re fractory metal has now. 1t is said by a German authority. been devised by a Berlin engineer, which will permit of the metal being cast in any desired form, and of being subsequently worked into any malleable shape. in- cluding wire for electric lamps. In- cidentally it would appear that tung- sten carbide will also become avail
 able, and as this carbide is practically as hard as the diamond-the difference being only as 9S to 10-it will be used in future for those numerous grinding and cutting operations which can only be effected at present by the diamond.

"DAD" ROYALES LUCKY DAY
Old Man Had Reason to Be Thankful That His Pig Developed Quality
 of Enterprise.

One of the most important applica tions of geological science is the point ing out of places likely to yield stores of mineral wealth. And yet, where copper is concerned, the really great discoveries in this country have beer made by pure luck.
 It was Old Man ROyale's pig that located, according to the story, the richest copper mine in the world-the famous Calumet lode.
 Old Man Royale was not interested in mining; he kept a boarding house. But his pig was gifted with the valu able quality of enterprise. Grubbing in the back yard. it "snooted up" 8 prehistoric Indian cache.
 The cache contained a large quan- tity of copper, a fortune in itself. But examination of the rock beneath dis closed veins of the metal, and mining operations thereupon undertaken de veloped the Calumet lode, which has since paid S145, 100000 in dividends and $5OO,OOO,OOO in wages.
 "Native" copper was used to con- SlueraDle extent Dy the indians In pre- Columbian days, for ornamental pur- poses chiefly. Ancient aboriginal skel- etons have been dug up wearing cop per masks. In Michigan they got cop per out of rocks by building fires against them; and huge nuggets of mass" copper weighing hundreds of pounds have been found in the Lake Superior region which showed signs of unsuccessful attack. The Indians had no tools with which to cut up such great Jumps, and they could not carry them away bodily.
 Copper is the American metal par excellence, and of all the metals is excepted.

MANY USING SKIS
Ancient and ExhiIarating Sport
 Grows in Favor.
Enthusiastic Devotees Are Railing 1t as King of Winter Sports-Has Long Figured in History
 and Legend.

A thousand years ago, or there abouts, some thoughtful Norseman found that long, thin strips of wood fastened to his war-boots enabled him to get over the snow-clad plains and mountains of his native land easily and with great speed. Before long all the hardy Norsemen were going around to fight or to wassail on these useful aids to winter travel, which became known as ski, pronounced by the Norsemen as if spelled she. So popular did skiing become that, ac- cording to Morse mythology, even one of the ancient viking gods went in for it. Olaf Trygvasson, best loved and most celebrated of the old Norwegian hero kings, Is said to have been an expert skier. Another king, one of the early Haakons, escaped from pursuers with designs on his life. by travelling five hundred miles on ski, over one of the most rugged sections of Nor way. Morse soldiers were equipped with skis and at the important bat tie of Stiklestad ski regiments played an important part. In later times, during a war on Norway conducted by Charles XII, Swedish scouts dis covered the location of the Norwegian troops and compelled band of skiers to guide them through the woods at night. The willy Norwegian skimen led the Swedes to a precipice. threw their burning torches down the noun tain side, and then made quick 'get- away" The Swedes, following the lights, were hurled to death on the rocks below. While skiing in the be- ginning was held in esteem, particular ly on account of its practical utility, it's possibilities as sport were also recognized after time, and today 1t easily ranks as the king of winter sports. "It has gained followers in most surprising manner the past twen- ty-five years," says G. c. Ferguson. writing in Cutters Recreation (Chi- cago). Ski associations have been or ganized in almost every northern coun- try both In Europe and America, he tells us. Recently clubs have been formed in the Rocky Mountain states of our own country.

cIlno to Savaoe Customs.

Throughout the islands of the New Hebrides many of the primitive cere- monies are still performed. The 'sing sing" ground Is still kept in readiness for the periodical outbursts of feeling, when the islander uances his wild and sacred dances to the ghastly music of the drums. Watching one of these weird revels followed by an orgy of eating. or more correctly stuffing, It seems to the observer that the New Hebrides race is destined to continue until 1t dies out a savage, or. at best. semi-civilized people.
