MANY RESERVOIRS

Water Still Stored In Structures Now Hundreds of Years
 Old
Mir. and Mrs. s. Nikoloff Return From Tour

Mir. and Mrs. s. Nikoloff returned Monday night from a three months tour of foreign lands. Mir, Nikoioif says that one of the best features of such a trip is getting back home. This does not mean that the trip was not a most delightful one but continual travelling for three months period reaches a stage where the tourist be- comes more or less fatigued with the constant change.
 In reply to questions regarding his observations while away Mir. Nikolofi stated that he especially noted the use of cement in the construction of reservoirs. In Madeira Island. a mountainous region that depends upon reservoirs for water supply, hundreds of privately owned reservoirs are cor strueted and all are built of cement.
 Going into Saville and Granada Spain, he saw great reservoir al Alhambra. This is an enormous re. servoir on the top of q hill built hun. dreds of years ago to supply water ir case of a seige. It is built of cement and is holding water today.
 A Thousand Pillars
 In Constantinople there are tw, reservoirs. One thousand and on, pillars support the roof of one oi these reservoirs and houses are bull on it's top. This is constructed of co ment. This huge reservoir was bull back in the time of Constantine th, Great and. although not in use to holt water. is in good condition. The small CT reservoir. built under the cit, square, still holds water
 ! In the Holy Land at the Springs oI Jericho, Sultan Hahdula Mid with hi own money built large cement reser voir so that there may be no shortagl of water if the springs in the sur rounding country are reduced in vol tune.
 In Italy. along the Mediterranean side. where irrigation is depende, upon, there are literally thousands O cement tanks above the ground. Ever the railroad tanks in some eases ar built of cement. Of course, in thes countries, there is no frost.
 In comparing present condition with past conditions, Mr. Nikoloi said, he found that the old Egyptian are even farther advanced in civiliza tion than We are today.
 The greatest ruins he had ever seel were at Karnac and Luxer, Egypt
