The merited i honor has long been delayed, but to jday Cap tain Nathan Hale is remembered by a monument worthy of the fame of the "Martyr Spy" of the Revolution. The story of the young patroit's ca reer is one that all young folks should be better acquainted with.

Our readers, we take it.' are all aware of the fact that the produc tiveness of the Nile valley is depend ent on the annual overflow of the river. Not only is a sufficient sup ply of moisture thus secured for the growing crops, but the deposit of alluvium keeps up the fertility of the soil. A low Nile, therefore, means depressed agriculture. When such a calamity occurs for two or thre years in succession, the result is im mense suffering. For a long time the question has been discussed whether it might not be possible to construct at some point in the upper part of the valley a reservoir or a series of reservoirs for storing up the surplus waters of the flood season, and turning them loose as they are needed.

With their customary breadth of practical wisdom the .English au thorities in Egypt' long ago took steps to put the whole matter to a practical test, and appointed Mr. Willcocks, the Director oj Reservoirs, with a large corps of competent en gineers, to go over the ground in a thoroughly scientific way.
