Mr. Cyril Crossland, M.A., B.Sc., P.Z.S., writes to ns' from Suez : "Re the paragraph in Saturday's edition ol your paper on the great shark seen off Sbadwan by H.II.S. "Aida," you are probably right in describing the specimen as the largest of the Red Sea "shovel-nose," hot other species normally attain to even larger sizas. There is a regular shark fishery-on the West Coast of Ireland (for the sake of the oil of the liver principally), the specie* there fonnd attaining frequently to a length of forty feet In spite of this huge size it is, by intention at least, perfectly innocuous.

The finest railway engines that have ever been seen in Egypt have arrived, and are to be need for the Cairo-Alexandria line as soon as the Benha and Birket el-Sab bridges have been put into a proper state to bear the weight *The Egyptian Railway * Administration has ordered ten locomotives of this type. Of these, seven have arrived, two are awaiting disembarkation in Alexandria harbour, and one is on its way out They havo boon dosigned and built by the Soctetd Fran raise des Constructions Mtksaniques of Denain and were ordered and completed last year. This company builds the locomotives for the most important railways in Prance, and the engines, which ran on the Parii-Calais line, the expresses on which line bold the reoord of swiftness, are exactly of the same type as the ones which are to be used Egyptian Railway Administration. In Prance these locomotives can average a speed of 120 Idiom, an hour, and as the distanoe from Alexandria to Cairo is only 208 kilom., they conld-pasily do the journey in two hours. Each, locomotive weighs 120 tons and is fitted with engines of the compound Atlantic type with foar cylinders compound. They have been on trial trips between Alexandria and Kafr Dawar and have given every satisfaction, their running being especially remarkable for smoothness. They will bo shortly-pot on between Alexandria and Tantah, but, as we mentioned above, they cannot be used all the way to Cairo until tho Benha and Birket el-Sib bridges have been strengthened. It is unknown when the former bridge will be in a state to admit of the passage of the locomotives. It ii very characteristic of the Egyptian Railway Administration's methods that the orders were given last year for these ten magnificent and costly locomotives without any attention being given to such a minor matter of detail as to whether tho bridges were strong enough to boar them with safoty. A great sum of money was spent on the purchase, and was believed that they would bo most asefulfor the express service between Cairo and Alexandria. Now that the locomotives have arrived they can only be nsed as for Tantah, because when it was too late soi person suggested that the bridges at Benha and Birket-el-Sab were not strong enough, is a matter of congratulation that this foct was not entirely overlooked as a fearful accident wouty have occurred if the Benha bridge had broken down when one of the-e locomotives was taking an express, crowded with passengers, over the river. Bat better late than never, and in the future it is expected that the bridges will be put in a satisfactory
