In his recent observations on the raising of the Assouan dam and the future of the Phile temples, Mr. Somers Clarke strikes a happy mean between the extravagances of the autim quarian sentimentalist and the brutality of the a materialistic advocate of raising the barrage to in any possible height without taking any mea-C sures to guard the Ptolemaic ruins and those of t the half-civilisation of Ethiopia from destruction. E The latter class of men is, we are thankful to a say, rare enough, but the sentimentalist is always with us, and his past attempts to pre- vent the construction of a work of astonishing economic value by describing the perils that, would encompass relics of the most degenerate period of Egyptian Art, would have been laughable had they not given a cue to those prejudiced observers of the British control over Egypt who longed and prayed for the break- down of the reconstructed Delta Barrage, and foreseeing the success of the Assonan weir, used every effort to prevent its construction.
We have every sympathy, with those who urge upon governments the necessity of pref serving monuments or natural beauties from vandalism or profanation, and of establishing 'sanctuaries" where strange or rare forms of life may find an abiding place. But if in the early years of the last half of the 19th century an energetic naturalist had clamoured for the preservation of the Fens from drainage and tillage on the ground that a peculiar fauna and flora would perish, would the ague-stricken inhabitants have borne with him any more than their mediaeval ancestors would have borne with some enthusiast in advance of his time, who urged upon them the preservation of bears and wolves as a remarkable and picturesque feature of the wooded midlands We can imagine cases where the preservation of ancient monuments is imperative in the interests of art and know ledge, but will anyone argue that it would have been better to spare the Phila temples the risk of ultimate delapidation than to enrich a country which, through circumstances not under its own control, had fallen into sore financial straits and was still in bondage to its creditors.
Moreover, there is no reason to suppose that Phil is irretrievably doomed. If the Govern ment can see its way to afford the small neces sary sum for the support and maintenance of the roof and architraves of the temple, it will doubtless survive, as Mr: Somers Clarke states, "for an indefinite period." That the Govern ment, which has already spent LE18,000 on the underpinning of the foundations, will for a moment grudge the necessary money, is unthinkable, and we think that a grant might well be set aside for the explo ration of some of the temples and sites south of Phil, which have never been. properly explored, and which are of some hig torical interest, in that they are situated on that borderland between Egypt and Nubia which was alternately ruled by the Pharaohs and by the Ethiopian kings. We are glad to know that the matter is to be thoroughly examined, and we hope that if private enter prise fails to come forward the Government may see its way to equipping an expedition, composed of a few experts who will examine those less-known ruins which are certain to be submerged by the raising of the dam, and take records of their most important features before the Nile covers them for ever.
LOSCO BEY.
We regret to announce the death of Bin- mashi Losco Bey, who died from heart failure at the, Continental Hotel, Suez, on the 15th inst. Losco Bey was in command of the -Government steamer Thyra, which was ordered 1 to go and explore the reefs in the Red Sea. His funeral took place at Sner yesterday lafternoon.
PORT ARTHUR.
RUSSIANS CONFIDENT.
SHIPS SUNK PURPOSELY.
Seven Russians with despatches arrived here in a sailing boat from Port Arthur. They went quickly to the Russian Consulate.
They assert that the Japanese have lost three torpedo-boats by mines during the past month. The Russians are confident that the fortress will hold out for niany months.
It is stated that according to a report of General Stoessel the ships at Port Arthur were sunk voluntarily. Their hulls are intact. The guns were removed.
Mr. Chamberlain has reopened his campaign by addressing 4,000 workmen. He dwelt especially upon the advantages his policy possessed for the working classes. He pointed out that it is impossible to maintain protection of labor with unrestricted imports of paupers and cheap foreign goods, made cheaper by artificial means. Unless his reforms are adopted, the workmen will have to accept lower wages or lose their employment. This question is one of life or death for the working classes. Mr. Chamberlain also forcibly recapitulated his imperialistic arguments.
The brigand Raisuli has captured a caravan 5 miles from here. He took 11 prisoners. His men then entered Tangier and held up another caravan, but released the same on finding that the men they wanted were not there.
Mr. Kruger's funeral took place to-day amidst a great concourse of burghers. At a most impressive religious service all the Dutch ministers gave orations eulogising the deceased. Mr. Bosman, who was the principal speaker, declared that the Boers will be loyal to the new flag, which is a symbol of equality and freedom, but the nation must follow the lines of development which Mr. Kruger had laid down.
The Government has reduced the land tax, thus decreasing, the budget estimates by 14,000,000 yen. The deficit is now 10,000,000 yen.

The entertainment at Mr. Alderson's garden at Bulkeley yesterday afternoon partook of a special character, on the occasion of the birthday of the Khedive's eldest son. A fine display of fireworks was given in the evening, the Prince's monogram being one of the set-pieces.
The contract for the supply of provisions, wines, etc., to the Egyp tian Army hospitals and schools for 1905, has been entrusted to Mr. John B. Caffari. This is the fifth year that Mr. Caffari has secured this contract, which is evidence of the satis- factory manner in which this well-known and enterprising firm conducts its business.

The imports of coal into Alexandria from the 1st January to the 15th inst. amounted to 1,022,610 tons, as compared with 960,882 tons during the corresponding period last year. Of this total, Newcastle sent 247,965 tons, the Welsh coaling districts 577,720 tons, the Scotch districts 103,662 tons, and Yorkshire 55,786 tons, while the imports of other qualities came to 47,477.
One knows how considerable an argument in intellectual matters the un- animous consent of all the peoples is. So in the entire world the Berlitz system for teaching modern languages takes the first rank in the esteem of those who interest themselves in educational questions. This is what explains the success of the Berlitz schools everywhere, and the popularity they enjoy in Egypt, where there are branches at Cairo (1, Sharia Kamel) and at Alexandria (26, Rue de l'Eglise Copte).

The new harbour works at Famagusta have been finished, but they have not been considered sufficient, and it has been decided to considerably deepen the harbour so as to admit large ships. The line between Famagusta and Nicosia is well on the way to completion. The people of Larnaca are regarding the improvements at Famagusta with a very jealous eye. Famagusta enjoyed great importance in the Levant during the middle ages, but since its capture by the Turks in 1551 it has been an utterly dead city.
P.C.A.-The balance-sheets of this society for the years 1902-3 have been issued, accompanied by a statement of the number of animals tended during that period. The latter comprise :-in 1902, 57 horses, 51 mules, 119 donkeys, 2 camels, 9 calves, 9 sheep, 37 goats, 2 monkeys; in 1903, 64 horses, 32 mules, 92 donkeys, 1 camel, 3 calves, 8 sheep, 35 goats. The amount of subscriptions is ridiculously small for a society formed for such an object as this one. In 1902 they amounted to the miserable sum of P.T. 505, while in 1904 they were absolutely nil! The main income of the society seems to be derived from the sums paid for the treatment of animals under the society' care, which amounted to P.T. 4,320 in 1902 and P.T. 4,475 in 1903. A balance of P.T. 25 was all the society had in hand to commence work in 1904.
The committee (a strong and representative one) formed recently to organise the fêtes to be given during the present season, has decid ed upon the following programme, other amusements being added should it be found conve nient and funds permit.
A grand ball is being organised, with cotillon, to be given on the 4th January at Shepheard's, and not the Ghezireh Palace Hotel, as previously announced.
The battle of flowers will be held on the 5th February, in the grounds of the Ghezireh Casino.
The Grand "Corso," or Carnival procession, will take place in town on the 7th March, with flowers and confetti-throwing.
A meeting of the working committee was held last evening at the Grand Continental Hotel to arrange details and fix the date for a fête de nuit at the Pyramids and a Venetian fête on the Nile. The committee intend to arrange for a performance of one of the great Italian operas (probably Aida) to be given at Luxor in the course of the next winter season of 1905-6, and also to discuss the question of an International Exhibition to be held on a later date in the Capital. The pro- posal has been submitted by our confrère M. Paul Manse, proprietor and editor of L'Egypte. The committee is composed of Major Herbert-Kenney (president), Messrs. G. Cattaui (secretary), Gaston Mondolfo, G. Vayssié, Abdul Rahman Bey Sabri, Omar Bey Sultan, G. Kayat, G. Nungovich, Baehler, Weckel, Paul Manse, Rossi, and Luzzato.
The cost of the fêtes to be given this year is estimated at about 80,000 francs, and it is to be hoped the committee will succeed. in raising this sum, and carry out their pro- gramme in full.
Mahmoud Pasha Sidky, Governor of Alexandria, arrived here this morning on the S.S. "Nefertari" from Cairo. He spent the morning, visiting the ruins of Karnak with Mr. Arthur Chamberlain, Miss C. Chamberlain, and Lady Richard. His Excellency lunched at the Luxor Hotel and returned to Cairo in the evening at 6.30 o'clock by the train "de luxe." He will spend two or three days at the Capital.
The receipts and expenses of the various provinces of the Sudan have been fixed as follows in the Budget for 1905:-

Sir,-Referring to a statement which appeared in the issue of the Phare d'Alexandrie of 21st Sept., 1904, under the heading "Allen, Alderson & Co., Ltd.," relating to a steam thrashing machine competition which had been held at Evora, in Portugal, in which Messrs. Ruston, Proctor & Co., of Lincoln, and other firms took part. The paragraph in question states that the firms of Clayton & Shuttle worth, Limited, Lincoln, and Marshall Sons & Company, Limited, Gainsborough, entered for the competition and afterwards withdrew, an absurd reason being alleged that these two firms recognised the superiority of the Ruston machine.
Feeling convinced that it was extremely unlikely that the facts were as set forth we communicated with Messrs. Marshall, Sons, and Company, Limited, of Gainsborough, for whom we act as representatives in Egypt, and we are now in receipt of their explanatian. We are authorised to state that Messrs. Marshall, Sons, and Company, Limited, definitely declined to enter or take part in the trials referred to, it being difficult for them to consider same, owing to excessive pressure of work in all their de partments, caused by an extraordinary and record demand this season for their machinery, which taxed to the utmost even their well- known and unequalled manufacturing facilities. Further, they were strengthened in their decision not to compete on learning that Messrs. Clayton and Shuttleworth were unable to take part, and thus the trials could not be considered representative of the leading makers.
The statement in the paragraph in question is therefore untrue and misleading, and is cal- culated to prejudice the interests of Messrs. Marshall (the largest firm in the trade), the excellence of whose machinery is universally acknowledged.
We request that you will kindly insert this letter in your valuable paper in order to cor rect the misrepresentation complained of.
Yours faithfully,
A. ABOAF & Co.
[Representatives of Messrs. Marshall, Sons & Co., Limited, of Gainsborough, England].
One of the most vital. public questions in the United States for many years, and constantly agitated in the National Congress and before the public, has been that of the irrigation of the arid lands of the rich and fertile agricul- tural sections in the Western states.
Only a few days ago the latest national irri- gation congress was held in the city of El Paso, Texas. It was the largest and most represen tative gathering of the kind ever held, and President Roosevelt not only strongly commended its objects, but pledged his official efforts to secure action by the coming national legislature. Interest in the action of the New Orleans gathering is still acute and is somewhat intensified by the investigations in this country of M. K. E. Bakhati, engineer of the Irrigation Department Projects Office of Egypt.
The gentleman from your country attended the national congress at El Paso and, in addition, visited the Far Western states of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, and California, in which there are millions of rich arid lands and where the matter of irrigation of the soil is the most important factor in all public affairs. The coming of Mr. Bakhati from Egypt, the ancient land of irrigation, to study the American methods in the matter, was something of a surprise to the engineers and scientific agriculturalists of this country. In an interview in Chicago regarding his mission in this country, Mr. Bakhati said, in part :-
"I find that one great difference governs American and Egyptian irrigation. Egypt com- paratively is level, while American irrigation must consider great slopes. In Egypt the whole water distribution is by gravity, but in Ame- rica you have immense machinery which is both complicated and efficient. But of all I have seen in America I am taking with me as. suited to Egyptian irrigation but one machine, and that is a marvellously delicate instrument to measure the velocity of the water."
While a visitor to the recent congress at El Paso, Mr. Bakhati made an address to the delegates in which he fully explained in a very interesting manner the Egyptian system of irrigation, giving many minor details that were new to Americans, even to those who had carefully read of the subject as it affects Egypt.
When the congress opened at El Paso President Roosevelt sent a letter to the delegates expressing regret at his inability to be present, but commending the purposes of the congress and declaring that irrigation and all other interests of the country were interlaced, as irrigation would make the West prosperous, and if the West prospered it would cause other sections of the country to prosper as a result. In irrigation the President found that expansion would be most effective.
The convention generally reported favorably on measures now pending before the national congress in the interest of irrigation, and adopted memorials urging more definite action to carry out Acts which have already been passed by Congress to aid states which are putting systems in operation.
Following upon the recommendation of the General Officer Commanding, lectures, similar to those given in Cairo, are delivered weekly in Alexandria to the members of the garrison here. Brig. Gen. Bullock, C.B., commenced the series on the 20th ult. with "Method of Studying Military History and Science." Lieut.-Col. McCracken followed with "Occupation and Entrenchment of Ground," and Major Balbi, with "Modern Siege Artillery Work."
Last night, Lt.-Colonel A.M. Mantell, R. E., spoke on "Camp Expedients. Improve- ment of water supply and roads. Easy bridges and methods of crossing streams, etc."
The following is the programme of future lectures:-
Fri., December 23. Reconnaissance. Major R. N. Gamble, D. S. O., 2nd R. Berks. Regiment.
Fri., December 30. Supply and Transport. Major E.R.O. Ludlow, D.A.A.G.
Fri., January 6. Hygiene, Camp expedients for comfort of men, etc. Senior Medical Officer.

Fri., January 20.-Discipline, its history and progress. Lt. Col. F. W. N. McCracken, D.S.O... 2nd R. Berks. Regt.
Fri., January 27.-A Study of a Campaign. Major R. N. Gamble, D. S. O., 2nd R. Berks. Regt.
The Teatro Verdi gave a rather uneven performance of Gioconda on Wednesday night. Signora Popovici was certainly the best all through; Signor Baldelli and Signora Fabri did well in their respective parts; but we were not greatly impressed with the other members of the company. The orchestra gave an admirable rendering of the music of the 'dance of hours' but we were surprised to see no dance !. We cannot on the whole pronounce the perfor mance to be on the same level as those of Mignon or Aida, or indeed Carmen. And we hope that this was more in the nature of an 'off-night," and that Otello will once again show the company at their best.

Port Said, Friday.- Yesterday, while the S.S. "Queensland" was taking up her moorings, her anchor cable parted. She lost her anchor and about 20 fathoms of chain cable. Visions of salvage fees soon attracted a large crowd of Arab boatmen to the spot, but the captain of the "Queensland" preferred taking the more orthodox course of applying to the Canal Company for a European driver with his gear to recover the chain than trusting to the primitive methods of the native. The driver arrived, and in due course a rope was attached. to the submerged chain and buoyed. But the wily Arab was not to be so easily deprived of, what he considered, his just pay, so when the "Queensland" men proceeded to pick up the rope they found that it had been severed under water by some native. By this time quite a little water carnival was taking place, the 3 laudable, if futile, efforts of the Port Police increasing the amusement. The Canal Com- pany's diver refused to go down again, unless the police could clear the course, fearing that his air-tube might be treated in the same manner as the rope, and to the great delight of the Arab, ingenuity, coupled with a disregard of law and order, prevailed, and the job was handed over to them and speedily accomplished.
The Wakfs Superior Council has approved 1 the 1905 Budget in principle. The Council will 1 meet again next week under the presidency of the Khedive to pass it finally.
A few days ago, while Dr. Velten, a passenger by the N.D.L. steamer "Rein," was disem- barking at the passport pier at Port Tewfik, owing to the landing-stage being in complete. darkness, he slipped and fell into the sea, and would indubitably have been drowned had it not been for the prompt assistance given by the skipper of the Florio-Rubattino steam- launch lying at the pier. Owing to the serious injuries Dr. Velten sustained, two doctors were summoned to the spot and rendered every assistance, but the gentleman is still confined to bed.
After this serious accident, and in order to avoid similar ones, we think it is high time the Municipality of Suez looked into the matter, and put up lamps at all the landing-stages.
Messrs. Barker & Co. Mr. Alexander Alderson writes:- *** £10

The Greek national concert given last night by Messrs. Sakellaridis at the Khedivial Hotel was a very great success. The large "salle des fêtes" of the hotel was thronged with a most attentive and appreciative audience, composed of the cream of our Greek colony, delighted to hear the melodious songs of their country. Mr. Th. Sakellaridis conducted the full orchestra with masterly skill, the Greek national dance "Sirto" eliciting an enthusiastic encore. Messrs. I. & A. Sakellaridis, (father and son) sang, together and separately, a great number of Greek songs so charmingly, and with such art and delicacy, as to arouse loud applause and encores. What may be termed the "clou" of the evening was the last item on the programme, which Mr. Sakellaridis, Sen., rendered to perfection, especially the soft, sweet whistling with which the song begins, accompanied by the full orchestra, and which brought to memory pastoral scenes and the nightingale's melody.
The Moss liner "Amasis" arrived here yesterday morning from Glasgow, via Gibraltar and Malta, with general cargo and coal.
The S.S. "Flaminian" left Malta on Thurs day afternoon and, is expected to arrive at Alexandria on Monday at noon.

The Khedive will in all probability receive H. R. H. Prince Leopold of Battenberg in private audience at Abdeen Palace on Monday next.
H.H. Prince George of Cumberland has arrived at the Savoy Hotel, Assouan, for a lengthy stay.
Mr. Belinfante-Ostberg, Swedish and Norwegian Diplomatic Agent and Consul-General, has returned to Alexandria after a short trip to the Lebanon and Damascus. He will proceed to Cairo in a day or two in order to spend the winter season at the Ghezireh Palace Hotel, which he has frequented for so many years past.
Major Powell-Cotton has left Khartoum for Gondokoro on a two years' expedition from the Nile to the Zambesi.

The King, on the recommendation of the Home Secretary, has appointed Mr. S. A. T. Rowlatt to be Recorder of Windsor, in the place of Sir Alfred T. Lawrence, now one of his Majesty's Judges of the High Court. Mr. Rowlatt was born at Alexandria, his father being manager of the Bank of Egypt. Of his two brothers, Mr. Fred Rowlatt is Sub-Governor of the National Bank of Egypt at Cairo while Mr. Charles Rowlatt is Collector of Customs at Cairo.
Mrs. Hutchinson is embarking at Marseilles for Alexandria by the P. & O. S.Y. "Vectis," due to arrive on the 26th inst. She will stay a day or so in Alexandria and then proceed to her own nursing home at Cairo, where a suite of rooms has already been prepared for her.
Yesterday the inaugurating competition of the ninth season of the Helouan Golf Club took place and proved a decided success. The weather was simply splendid, although the scores were not up to the usual average. Fulford, the professional to the Bradford Golf Club, and son of W. Fulford, the well-known professional at Northwood, had got the links in excellent order, and it was difficult to find an adequate excuse for the scores returned; but no doubt in future com- petitions, which will take place almost every Friday, the play will be on a much higher level. On the 18-hole course we are glad to welcome the success of Mr. Stewart Fildes, who played a steady game throughout and returned a useful 85, which for these somewhat redoubtable links nearly always obtains a place. Dr. Page-May was unfortunate in topping an iron shot into the railway, or his gross score of 91 would have been considerably less. On the 9-hole course Miss Sargent, who has been known for some years in golfing circles at Helouan, tied for first place with Miss Hobson, and the tie will have to be played off later. Mrs. Page-May was only one stroke less. Mrs. Lye is evidently a very promising player and we shall expect to see her higher up in the list before long. Below is a list of the scores:

"As I lay a-thinkynge. Ingoldsby.
Among the various matters of local interest to which the attention of readers of the Gazette is drawn by means of letters, reports and leading articles, no subject is of greater or more pressing importance than that of the Trainage of the town. When its bearing on the health and well-being of the people is taken into account, it is very extraordinary to note the apathy that exists and the want of public spirit that keeps the question so much in the background.
1 remember reading a very exhaustive report on the subject which was published, I think, early last year. In this it was pointed out that the very small fall obtainable here rendered the disposal of the sewage a very difficult matter; but still difficulties far greater are overcome by engineering science, and no doub some means could be devised by which the sewage could be carried out to sea sufficiently far to enable. it to be dispersed without danger to the health or annoyance to the olfactory nerves.
Important too, and quite apart from the question of drainage, is that of the smells, which, in some places, are simply overpowering and to my knowledge cause, not only much discomfort, but positive illness. Are there no bye-laws in force requiring owners of vacant building spaces to effectually enclose them, and thus prevent Arabs from invading them, and causing a nuisance to surrounding houses!
It is quite time that someone moved in these matters and took away from the fair city of Alexandria the reproach of its being "a city- of sinells." In a short tale which appeared in the Gazette a few months ago, the writer suggested that the simplest way of directing a stranger in this city would be to tell him to "follow the smell he was now in and take the third smell to the left." Many a true word is spoken in jest,and in this instance the cap-fitted admirably, for the whole place at times reeks with filthy smells, many, I am persuaded, capable of being done away with, once and for all, by the exercise of a little vigilance on the part of the Sanitary Department of our Municipality.
Probably few foreign residents in Alexandria visit the neighbourhood of Pompey's Column, so the disgraceful state of the area surrounding the greatest monument of the past that this city possesses passes unnoticed. The side on which are the steps provided for visitors is just tolerable, but venture, if you can, on a hot sunny day to explore the other portions of the space! It wants a strong stomach to be able to do so, I can assure you.
It is a well-established fact that few resi dents in a city containing interesting relics of the past, ever take the trouble to visit them, but perchance, as the old Roman tower close to Ramleh station is to be demolished, some people may wish to take a last look at it, before it finally disappears. Let me warn any such to provide themselves with a handkerchief soaked liberally with eucalyptus oil or some powerful disinfectant. They will need it! And as to the state of their boots after their venture, well, the less said the better! Verbum Sap.
In one sense the removal of the old remains will be welcomed by all who fréquent the greatly improved sea frontage and appreciate healthy conditions. But so long as the dis charge of sewage takes place underneath under their noses, I am afraid that the new sea wall will offer little attraction to promenaders. -
The pity of it all! Fine handsome buildings coupled with drainage that is condemned on all hands as miserably inefficient; nice walks and drives on the neighbourhood that it is impossible to frequent at least with any sense of enjoyment and safety to health;- objects of interest that it is impossible closely to inspect. All this and more, too, under a Municipality that seems to lack eyes to see and noses to smell.
Have we to wait for an epidemie of cholera, plague, or typhoid fever before anything is done to remedy this most serious state of affairs! It would almost seem so for public spirit appears to be at so low an ebb here, that there is no sign of any pressure being brought to bear on the authorities, and the sanitary de- partment, left to itself, shows so little signs of life that it must be almost hopeless to expect any action from that quarter.
I have occupied a good deal of space this week with a very unsavoury, though important subject, and with but faint hope that any good will result from what I have written. Perhaps some day means will be devised to greatly lessen, if not entirely abolish, these nuisances; --meanwhile we must all trust that no epidemic will come to stir up and awaken the sleepers, for we should live in hope if we die in despair.
Alexandria's sanitary needs, have received a sad and striking illustration this week in the death from small-pox that occurred in the Deaconesses' Hospital. The immediate establishment of a small-pox hospital on a suitable site a little way out of the town, and there must be many such sites available should at once be seen to. The matter is really urgent and it would not take many weeks to erect or adapta building for temporary use. I have no doubt that the foreign residents here would all join in the movement if only some public-spirited. man would take the lead.
Would Mr. G. B. Alderson spare a little of the time he devotes to the Housing Problem -which so many think might wait a-while- to agitating this very important matter! Universally respected as he is, he would easily secure a hearing on a question affecting all the hospitals of the town, and the thing could be quickly arranged with the cooperation of a few of the wealthy and influential resi- dents of Alexandria, whose purses would surely open readily for such an object.
And while this is being done by private enterprise our Rip Van Winkles could sleep placidly on, and be left to rub their eyes and wonder when-if ever-they awake.
In conclusion, is not this a question that ought to come within the range of vision of the British Advisers of the Egyptian Government, seeing how vitally it concerns Englishmen in Egypt I wish that, on the subjects about which I have written this week, as well as many others, I could gain Lord Cromer's ear. Then I might, perhaps, do some little good.

Though this book bears Canon Rawnsley's name on the title page, by far the most inter- esting part of it is the first half, by his son, Mr. Noel Rawnsley, which is, in effect, a sketch of the daily life in Prof. Petrie's excavation dcamp at Abydos. It gives a moving picture of the minor discomforts of camp life, including a grimble at having to eat porridge, biscuits, and tinned meat for breakfast, while others a are indulging in eggs and other luxuries which seems to throw some light on the schooly breakfast controversy lately raging in the news papers and shows also the difficulty of dealing with the natives. One is, perhaps, rather astonished to find that an antiquity dealer, in whose "bulging bag you may find something you want," is allowed to visit excavation camps, and that the work sometimes included the throwing down of "an ancient wall." Also we get a glimpse of the somewhat slender foundation on which many Egyptological theories are based, when we read that, "knowing the dynasty to which a certain shape of pot belonged, it became possible to tell at once the times in which the wall that covered it was built." The most frantic partisan of "sequence-dates" has not yet contended that n the fashion in pots changed in Egypt with every dynasty; and if this is all that the excavators had to depend upon, it is plain that they must often have gone very wrong in their dating. For the rest, Mr. Rawnsley writes a fresh and hearty appreciation of the delights as well as of the drawbacks of life in the desert, and his remarks on the difficulty of forming any idea of the general design of the sand-buried buildings on which he was engag ed should prove useful to intending explorers.
The second part of the book, by the nominal author of the whole, was at first sight a puzzle. Canon Rawnsley seems to have been inspired by a visit or two to the Egypt Exploration Fund's annual exhibition in Gower Street to write of Prof. Petrie's doings at 0 Abydos in such lyrical phrase as the follow- ing:-
"The old temples of Abydos refused to listen to the sound of harper or flute-player in the days when Osirian mysteries went forward; but there is an older burial-ground beyond the temples, where today the triumphant song of the explorer is loud, and the mysteries of the resurrection of Egypt's oldest kings go forward to such historic harmonies as were seldom be fore heard."
As he tells us on another page that as "patient, peace-loving Prof. Petrie" has "virtually re-dated Greek civilisation," we may hope that these historic harmonies may not be heard again. Later we are told that Prof. Petrie's discovery at Ballas of the New or Neolithic race which, by the way, he referred to an 0. interval between the fourth and twelfth dynasties-led Canon Rawnsley to expect that Prof. Petrie would "yet be able to report of a chapter in Egyptian history which would make the first dynasty king a kind of compar atively modern being," and we gather that, in his opinion, this curious report has now been made. This is the more extraordinary because it was M. Amélineau and not Prof. Petrie who first discovered the early remains at Abydos. It was he who unearthed and published the inscriptions of such of the first dynasty kings as have absolutely been identified with those in Manetho's lists, and he has never ceased to complain that his concession was, as he alleges, taken from him and handed over to Prof. Petrie before he had finished his work upon it. Astonishment deepens when we read that when Canon Rawnsley visited the exhibition in question his eyes "went at once to the little bit of crystal vase which bore the name of Mena; for now seemed to feel myth fade away, and the real king who drank from a crystal goblet to the success of the city of Memphis, the city he had .built in fair fields, from which he had turned the great Nile flood, seemed to stand before me."
For the little bit of crystal vase, as may be seen in the Egypt Exploration Fund's Royal Tombs, Part I. does not bear the name of Mena at all, but only that of Aha, and was not discovered by Prof. Petrie, but as there stated, bought by him, perhaps from some of the dealers who, teste Mr. Noel Rawnsley, hang about his camp.
The explanation of all this is, doubtless, .that although the hands may be those of 5. Canon Rawnsley, the voice is that of Prof Petrie. In other words, Canon Rawnsley, who seems to have no special knowledge of his subject other than that afforded by a few trips to Egypt, has preferred, instead of forming his own opinions, to listen to Prof. Petrie's voluble .theories. He has supplied laudatory adjectives . to nearly every substantive, and indulged in much apostrophic admiration of Prof. Petrie and his works. We must say that we prefer the Professor's energetic, if sometimes slipshod, English at first hand. (Athenæum).

BY ALURED BELL.
It is surely very curious, and not a little pathetic, this epoch-marking decision to with- draw from Egypt the last remnants of the military majesty of Britain. We are assured that the step has the approval of Lords Cromer and Kitchener; and certainly the Foreign Office in the one case, and the War Office in the other, need no better names to endorse any cheque that they may draw on the con- fidence of the British electorate. Again, the Anglo-French agreement is admittedly a blessed instrument it promises a free hand to England in Egypt, and a free hand to France in Morocco, but no one who has resided in North Africa will deny that it is quite incapable of allaying fanaticism or quieting the racial hostility to the European. Therefore, I am confident that I voice the first feeling of Anglo- Egyptians when hearing of the resolve to withdraw the British garrison from Egypt- and, indeed, of the hundred and forty thousand Europeans in the country-in laying stress on a note of uneasiness. On the other side of the ledger, however, we have several satisfactory assets. In the first place, since 1888, the British garrison has never exceeded five thousand of the three arms, and is to-day considerably below that figure. There is the blessed Angio-French agreement referred to above. The Egyptian people, particularly the peasants, to the number of some nine millions, have become accustomed to, and have con- fidence in, British administration. The Egyp tian and Sudanese soldiery have fought many a dangerous field under their British officers, and are no longer the ill-tutored rabble of the days of Tel-el-Kebir, Kassassin, and El Teb. There are one hundred and fitty British officers in the Egyptian Army to-day compared to the seventy or eighty previous to the reconquest. of the Sudan in 1896-98. The old and incorrigible native advisers of the young Khedive have gone the way of flesh, or have retired from the cares of State, or are supposed to be to-day the most exemplary of Anglophiles. There remain not even a Swiss Rounler Bey, nor a Greek Comanos Pasha, as in 1894, to give stily anti-English advice to the youthful, ambitious Vali. The prime ambition of the Egyptian youth is to learn the English language as a passport to a comiorble salary under Government, and to qualify for a subsequent liberal pension. The Egyptian Gazette no longer troubles to read lectures to the Arabie and French Press, which merely maintains a daily criticism of Lord Cromer's administrative measures, as a duck persists in swimming, from instinct or natural propensity. Finally, as a closing argument to the excellent amicability of the modern Egyptian, bail-cartridge has not been served out to the British garrison of Cairo in anticipation of a street riot, since the spring of 1893.
The familiar letters G.O.C., the bearer of ,which has always taken precedence of the Sirdar of the Egyptian Army in Cairo society,are to be transferred as an appendage to the title of Major General Sir Reginald Wingate, the present Sirdar. Sir Reginald will have more than fifteen hundred miles of country to patrol, north to south, with his 150 British lieutenants. Should one of the Egyptian battalions in Cairo mutiny, what will be the Saar's remedy? He has already decided. He wi!! call upon two or three Sudanese bat- talions to keep the peace. The ultimate appeal from any such conceivable resort to force will, of course, be the British Army proper, which may then be engaged elsewhere. I am drawing a black picture merely to emphasise the import- ance of the decision now auiounced to with- draw our Egyptian garrison. We may heartily congratulate ourselves upon the emphatic testimony which this decision gives to the solidarity and acceptability of twenty-two years of British civilian and military adminis tration in Egypt. The desire fora purely civilian control was announced to the world so long ago as 1882 by the victor of Tel-el-Kebir, Lord Wolseley. It is recorded in official black and white, that the Britisit military occupation would cease when no longer necessary to the welfare of the country. Lord Granville and Mr. Gladstone promised it, but have not lived to see this day. I am almost tempted to say that if the Japanese people have startled the world with their efficiency, the military evacuation of Egypt must startle the world with its complacency. Will France ever with- draw her prospective garrison from Morocco Has France withdrawn from Tunis ? Can Japan withdraw from Korea? Will Russia evacuate Kushk, or the United States of America, take their last roughrider from the Philippines?
It will justly be a gala good-bye that the residents of Alexandria will accord to the last departing troopship as she weighs anchor within the purview of the Khedive from the windows of the Palace of Ras el-l'in. Egyptian gunners will man the fort of Kom el Dik. After all, one had almost forgotten that Napoleon sneaked out of Egypt, while we shall go out in sight of every eye. The British Govern ment tried to reform Egypt, and has done it; and perhaps not the least of its credit there lies in the men it has loaned to the Egyptian" Army. We "advise" India, with several thousand officers-about one lieutenant to every seventy-five thousand of her inhabitants -the hundred and fifty Bimbashis that we leave in Egypt will advise even a smaller number of tellaheen per capita. Commanding them will be the brilliant chief of Lord Kitchener's Intelligence Department, a soldier who would be an ornament to any European General Staff, and having a lengthy expe- rience of his duties and a scholarly know- ledge of Arabic. Sir Reginald Wingate has witnessed the metamorphosis worked by his brother officers in the army now to be entrusted with the sole policing of the Nile Valley and Delta, and has doubtless affirmed his belief in the sufficiency of tuat army for the future internal duties of the peace. Complacent race as we are, we have, therefore, competent guarantees that the departure of the "red- coated devils" from Cairo and Alexandria is indicative of no strategical aberration on the part of our native genius for empire. When again called upon they can return.

The Constantinidi case is attracting con- siderable attention in Egypt, as both the parties have many relations and connections here. Mr. Constantinidi is the brother of the Countess Antoine de Zogheb, of Cairo, and the uncle of Mr. A. G. Kefhala of Alexandria. The respondent is the daughter of the late Mr. Stephen Ralli, many of the representatives of whose family are in Egypt. Last week, in the London Divorce Court, Sir F. Jeune again, had before him the case of Constantinidi v. Constantinidi and Lance, which came on by way of an application against a Régistrar's re port on variation of settlement. This was the suit in which the petitioner was awarded £25,000 against the co-respondent, Dr. Lance, who had attended on the wife's father, the late Mr. Raili, the well-known Greek merchant. Mrs. Constantinidi, it appeared, was interested in two settlements, one of £51,000, made by her father, and the second, a post-nuptial settlement of £10,000 by the petitioner upon her. It was pointed out that respondent and co-respondent had been married, and were now enjoying the income from these settlements, and there would be an increased income at the mother's death, Mrs. Lance being entitled to about £150,000. Mr. Lawson Walton, K.C., for the petitioner, said it was against that he wished to appeal. The result of all this litigation was that the petitioner had become indebted to the extent of £10,000, whereas by the report the petitioner was put back in exactly the same position as he was before he was married, while the wife was to enjoy all the advantages of a separate income, attributable to their being married, and the co-respondent had possession not only of the lady herself, but also of a very large income.
Mr. Walton continued his arguments on behalf of the petitioner.
Mr. Bargrave Deane, K.C., on the other haud, pointed out to his Lordship that in all the cases which had been cited against him the petitioner had been an innocent party, whereas the petitioner in this case had himself admitted that he had been guilty of misconduct.
Sir F. Jeune decided that the petitioner should receive a sum not exceeding £2,000 a year out of the settled property. Mr. Barnard pointed out that the amounts in dispute would not realise more than £2,200.

are the peticular ills brought on by the Catarrh of the pelvic organs.
(Pe-ru-na is a Tonic Especially Adapted to Their Peculiar Diseases.)
Mrs. Louise Westbrook, No. 9 East Columbia St., Detroit, Mich., Seerotary of the West Side Lotus Club, writes:
"For several years I suffered with leucorrhoea and painful menstruation, which was followed by general debility, wn I was but a wreck of myself. Thanks to Peruna I am a well woman to-day."-Louise Westbrook.
Miss Jessiemene Westland, No. 767 Beaubien Ave., Detroit, Mich., District Deputy of Detroit Independent Order of Good Templars, writes as follows:
"Peruna has been a blessing to me and gladly do I indorse it. For two years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach. I lost flesh and grew thin and emaciated, nervous and exhausted, so that I could neither work or enjoy life. I began taking Peruna and can now eat and enjoy everything I eat. I have been well over a year now."- Miss Jessiemene Westland.
Catarrh is a very frequent cause of that class of diseases popularly known as female weakness. Catarrh of the pelvic organs produces such a variety of disagreeable and irritating symp toms that many people-in fact, the majority of people-have no idea that they are caused by catarrh.
A great proportion of women have some catarrhal weakness which has been called by the various doctors she has consulted by as many different names. These women have been treated and have taken medicines, with no relief, simply because the remedies are not adapted to catarrh. It is through a mistaken notion as to the real nature of the diseases that these medicines have been recommended to them.
if all the women who are suffering with any form of female weakness would write to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio, and give him a complete description of their symptoms and the peculiarities of their troubles, he will Immediately reply, with complete directions for treatment, free of charge.
"Health and Beauty," a book written especially for women, sent free by Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.
Miss Alice Dressler, of No. 1313 North Bryant Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes as follows concerning Peruna:
"I was suffering from catarrh of the throat and head. One of my college friends, who was visiting me, asked me to try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restored me to perfect health."-Alice Dressler,
Miss Mamie Groth, Platteville, Wis., writes:
"I have for several years suffered with frequent backache and would for several days have splitting headaches. Several of my friends advised me to take Peruna and I asked my physician what he, thought of it. He recom mended it and so I took it and am entirely without pain of any kind now." -Mamie Groth.
In a recent letter from No. 2 Grant Ave., Denver, Col., Mra. Ida L. Gregory writes:
"Some six years ago my husband suf- fered with nervous prostration, and advising with a friendly druggist he brought home a bottle of Peruna. His health was restored from its use, his appetite was increased and restful sleep came to him."-Ida L. Gregory.
Miss Florence Murphy, No. 2703 Second Av., Seattle, Wash., writes:
"I suffered for over a year with female trouble, and although I tried several physicians none of them seemed to be able to help me permanently.
"It only took a little over three bottles of Peruns to make me well and strong. Inever have backache, headache or bear ing down pains any more."-Florenos Murphy
For special directions everyone should read "THE ILLS OF LIFE" a copy of which surrounds each bottle. Peruna is for sale by all chemists and druggists at five shillings per bottle or six bottles for twenty five shillings.
Those wishing direct correspondence with DR. HARTMAN and can wait the necessary delay in receiving a reply should address Dr. S. B. HARTMAN, Columbus, Ohio, US.A.

THE LATE YOUSBASHI ARMSTRONG.
It is most strange that the Governing Boly of the German Deaconesses Hospital at Alexandria, or whoever is responsible for that institution, does not give its own version of the way in which Yousbashi Armstrong contracted the disease. It is a duty which the hospital owes not only to itself but to the public at large, and it would be most satisfactory for all parties to have a statement of the hospital's case. It would be a source of great satisfaction it the hospital could, for example, declare that there was no contact between the attendants on the patient already under treatment for small pox, and Yousbabi Armstrong.
I am, Sir,
Yours, etc.
Sir, Although a member of the British community, I did not know the unfortunate young Englishman Yousbashi Armstrong. I can only speak of what I have read in the newspapers. Ever since coming to Alexandria, I have felt strongly upon the subject of there being n British hospital in this city. Surely, this is the time for some action to be taken in this matter. A properly equipped British Cot- tage Hospital would not cost a fabulous sum. I would commend this idea to the philanthropie spirit of Mr. Alderson, in lieu of the much- vexed question of the housing of the artisan class. I feel sure an appeal for funds for this object would meet with a generous response from every member of the British community here. The hospital in which this young Englishman contracted the disease by which he met his death no doubt does good work, but when one reads of a patient, concalescent from one disease, contracting another within the walls of the hospital, there is something wrong somewhere. If the infection is in "the Air" the sooner the occupants of the adjacent houses quit their abodes the better.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE.
Sir, The terrible pathos of Mr. Geo. B. Alderson's letter to you in yesterday's issue of your esteemed journal has moved the hearts, I venture to believe, of all your readers. The deep feeling displayed by that effusion and the strenuous earnestness of its style characterise .it as a "human document" in the best sense of that term. Will not the Khedive and Lord Cromer take up the exhortation of Mr. Geo. B. Alderson? Why should Egypt be backward in coming forward at such a crisis in the history of humanity?
I am, Sir,
Yours, etc.
Sir, Mr. Alderson's letter does credit to his heart, but why does he limit his sympathies to the garrison of Port Arthur' What about the thousands of Japanese lives that must be thrown away before the place finally falls it that event does really happen after all. not appeal to the Mikado to save them? Yours, &c.,
Sir,--Why on earth does not Mr. Alderson make up his mind once for all to go and have a little talk with the Tsar of all the Russians 1 Let him be up and doing. The European Powers have done their best with the hard- hearted Tsar, but in vain. Should he succeed he might find an alleviation to his long-endured agony.
Yours truly,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE. Sir, I read in the Gazette this afternoon that Article 11. of the new Pharmacy Regula- tions is still the crux of the question between my confrères at Cairo and Sir Horace Pinching. As a practical pharmacist, I am strongly of the opinion that on public grounds, no less than in the interests of us chemists, Article 11 of the new Regulations is objectionable. When, as now, the proprietor of a pharmacy is required to hold a diploma, there is far more kelihood that the drugs sold will be of supe- rior quality and the prescriptions dispensed with greater care than when he is not. In the latter event, owing to the increased expense of employing a duly quantied chemist as manager, there will be a strong temptation to run the business "on the cheap." Furthermore, Art. II is calculated to multiply considerably the num- ber of chemists' establishments-a by no means desirable contingency so lar, at least, as Alex- andria and Cairo are concerned, where they are already greatly in excess of public require- ments and to render thereby competition amongst us unduly severe, which again is not for the public benefit.
I am, etc.
To THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE.
Dear Sir, As the truth of your correspon- dent's statement re Ghezireh grounds is not denied, and as nothing is expected of those now in office, who seem quite to ignore the fact that members of the Turf Club have the use of the said grounds: "Lover of fresh air," "Small official," "Alexandrian," "Fair play," and any Britisher who is free to act, will kindly com- municate with the undersigned.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE.
Sir, I was inspired on reading your notice of "Who's Who" for 1905 to look up the biographies of the eminent Anglo-Egyptians- whose names you mentioned as appearing there. The world knows little of its greatest men, and in Cairo we are so brought into contact with the crowd of K.C.M. G.'s and M.V.O's, and lesser notabilities that we little think how great they really are until we are reminded that they have been thought worthy of inclusion in the 50,000 "eminent" men who figure in "Who's Who." Thus it came about that I purchased a copy of that work and care- fully perused the histories of the gentlemen. While doing so I was struck by the strange dis- crepancy between the length given to the various personages, and as they give the details themselves and correct the proofs it is clear that, by a comparison of the length of these gentlemen's notices, we can gauge roughly their capacity for self-esteem. Leaving out the Khedive, Lord Cromer, and the Sirdar, details about whom are too easily obtainable for the editor of "Who's Who" to trouble them, I arrived at the following results by counting the lines in the notices of the other Anglo-Egyptians whose names you gave. Of all, the one who takes up the largest amount of space with minute details as to his career is Mr. Malcolm Mcll- wraith, the Judicial Adviser, who takes no less than 22 closely printed lines to narrate his life and works. The extreme antithesis to this is Mr. Harry Boyle, who thinks that one line and a quarter is all the information that the world should know as to him. The Judicial Adviser is run very close by Crookshank Pasha with 22 lines, while Mr. Boyle's proxime accessit is Coles Pasha with one word over two lines. The order of the others is as fol- lows Mr. Foster 21, Dean Butcher 18, Captain McMurdo 17, Sir William Garstin 15, Sir Elwin Palmer 13, Sir Horace Pinching 13, Sir William Willcocks 12, and Chitty Bey 7. I was unable to find the names either of the Financial Adviser or the Adviser to the Ministry of the Interior. Meanwhile, further inspired by your notice of the names of Anglo-Egyptian and other local celebrities who figure in the Anglo-African "Whos Who," I have written to London for a copy of that work, and as soon as I have leisure I hope to spend many a quiet evening in perusing the lives of the members of the British Recreation Club and. of other Anglo-Egyptians who appear to figure prominently in that remarkable com pilation.
