PRE-EMPTION
One of the greatest legal abuses at present exiting in Egypt is the way in which the law of preemption is employed. Owing to the recent rise in the veins of real property, and the enormous number of sales of land that are now going on all over the country, a condition of affairs has arisen which was never contemplated by those jurisconsults who gave the ancient Oriental privilege of pre-emption in the Code of the Mixed Tribunals. The right of pre-emption is now invoked on every possible occasion, and the result is that the law is made use of to protect the flimsiest sort of claims, to the detriment of the serious capitalist. A recent preemption case affords a good example of how this ancient right is resuscitated to serve a totally different object to that for which it wat originally intended to serve. In e few days' time the test case as to the limits of this law will come before the Mixed Court of Appeal. The Nungovich Hotels Company lately purchased the Mena House Hotel, and after the purchase was completed a native doctor exercises his right of preemption, which it upheld by the Mixed Court of lst Instance. There is no doubt that the judgement was technically correct inasmuch as it was based on a strict interpretation of the law. But it is obvious that this interpretation of the law cannot be considered as in any sense equitable, and it will be interesting to see whether the Appeal Court will give a more liberal interpretation than did the lower Court. But whether the Court upholds or quashes this particular decision it is necessary that the law of preemption must be radically changed, for its continual abuse has become a national nuisance.
A Calcutta paper has recently been discovering the best means of getting rid of that "humming bird," the mosquito. That the method advised of fumigating a room causing the insects to become partially stupified, and so to fall easy victims of the tanglefoot fly-paper ready placed for their delectation and death at a lighted window, the remainder of the room being in darkness, is no doubt as efficacious as it is ancient; but, after all, "prevention is better than cure" as the old proverb has it; and not to have mosquitoes in the homes at all is far better than to allow them entrance and then to take steps for their extermination.
In the malarial districts of Africa, both East and West, and also in the United States and elsewhere on the American Continent, in the summer months a plan very widely adopted in modern dwellings is that of the "mosquito proof' house. So effective has this proved to be in the prevention of malaria that some of the railways have adopted it not only for the cabooses used by their employees travelling almost continually in the low veldt and on the flats where mangrove swamps abound, but also, in some cases, for their general passenger rolling-stock. Every window of the dwelling is provided on the outside with a well-fitting frame, opening up a French window, covered with wire gauze of a fine mesh, which, whilst admitting light and air, effectively prevents small flying insect pests of every description from entering. Doors are fitted in much the same manner, swinging frames, hinged inside the main door, being need to support the wire gauze. In South Africa, where the climatic conditions are so different, it is usual, especially among the extreme faddists, to keep these wire doors closed throughout the day ; hot doubtless they would serve the purpose for which they intended were they to remain closed between the hours of sunset and sunrise only. Such a scheme has not been considered necessary in Colombo, bat bungalows on estates in low-lying malarial district might be thus fitted to advantage, and the following instance, if indeed one is wanted, will prove the necessity of providing against malarial fever through inoculation by mosquitoes. About two years ago, at a certain hospital in Rhodesia, where quite 90 percent of the European patients are admitted suffering from malarial fever, it wai ootioed by the dxitor tbat,after having soooei*- folly treated his oases, and the temperature) of hi* patients were once more down to normal or thereabouts, on the fourth or fifth day after admission, at first inexplicably, a large proportion of those under hie oare bad relapses, and up went their temperatures almost as high as ever ; with the result that the treatment had to be started praetioally all over again. It was the dootor'* idea that, with fresh oases of malaria coming in daily, the mosquitoes promptly oarried infeotion from the new patients to those convalescent Accordingly, step* were taken .to prevent this ; and the oor- reotnees of this theory was at once proved, for almost immediately t he average etay -'n hoepital of patients suffering from malarial fever dropped from ten or twelve days to I Positive results each a* these—to say nothing of the exhaustive experi ments conducted in the malarial swamps of Southern Italy foor year* ago—go far to prove the absolute neoemity of preventing innocola- tion by mosquitoes. 8noh ordinary preoantions aa not allowing st*gnant water or decaying vegetable matter near the hoase, or of permitting wstet to soenmalate for days in an onoleaoed gatter pipe.to aot as breeding spots for this dangerous and ubiquitous little pest, should jeoeive the careful a' tention of all whi desire to maintain their own health and who feel any reeponsibilitv to '.he health of thglr employees.

Fifteen blind men and boys are at work at present, turning out wicker furniture.

Mr William Wood, the manager of the school, deserves to be congratulated on the excellent position of the institution over which he presides.

DEVELOPING GERMAN INTERESTS.
Two striking examples of the great interest Germany intends to take in the development of Egypt have occurred this month Those are tube fusion of the Anglo-American Nile Steamer Company with the Hamburg-Arteria Lina and thud establishment of the Deutsche Pointblank in Egypt.

Although it was announced that the new quay estate, belonging to the Alexandria Municipality would be offered for publio sale last antnmn, nothing even now has as yet been notified officially as to the date of the sale. The Mnnioipal Committee of Public Works has been at work for some weeks past making out the narAolii-g 0f th0 various lota of land, but up to date no definite deoision has been arrived at and the Munioipal Commission is awaiting the final report of the Committee in order to commence the sales. The rumour that the sales of these important lands have been parpoaely postponed indefinitely in order that the landlords on the Municipality may have time to realise the •and at their own disposal in other parts of the city, is, so we are informed, quite incorrect.
A very sad accident took place at Abbassieh on Monday afternoon. The facts, as we can gather, are as follows. M. A. Tomioh and M. J. Mirfo, both well-known contraotors, wh:le examining various buildings which are being constructed at AbbaRBieb, deoided to look at the wall of a house wffioh had oracked and was expeoted to oollapse. The two men entered the building followed by their foreman, M. Spiteri, and examined the weak point. M. Tomich then left the bnilding and had only taken a few paces from the entrance when a dad. rumbling sound was heard and the wall, with part of the building, oollapsed in a heap of debris. M. Spiteri, who was standing by a window, jumped for his life the moment he heard the sound and escaped. M. Mirda was buried in the ruins. The workmen in the neighbourhood rashed up and after some d ffioalty recovered the body of the unfortunate man, which bore no mark of anyseriona injury, death being due to suffocation. The oorpae was taken to the Austrian Hospital and thence to the house of the deoeased's parents in the Sharia Madabegh. The fnneral, which took plaoe yesterday afternoon, was largely attended. The late M. Mirsa, who was an architeot and contractor by profession, was only 33 years of age and bad resided for the last two years in Cairo, where he had made many friends.

A very pleasant and well-attended connert was he'd on Monday evening at the Sailors' and Soldiers' Institute. It was presided over by Rev. A. A. Cooper, M.

The programme, which was of a lengthy and varied charaoter, was contributed to by the following ladies and gentlemen :—Mrs. Gordon, pianoforte selections ; Mrs. C. A. Wilson, two songs; from H. M. S. Minerva Mr Grnzilier, song, Queen of my Heart;" Messrs.

Duffy, song, "Holy City;" Sergt. Byrne, comic song, "Not yet" Pts. Mooney, "Qaeen of Love." An attractive feature of the evening was the oleyer and original entertainment provided ly Mr. Shirreff, which was highly appreciated. A quartette, "God be with you," by Mrs. Lawreuoe, Mersrs. Shirreff, Male, and Welsh, was very impressive, pathos being lent to the rendering by the fact that the hymn expressed a parting wish for the men of H.M.S, Minerva, who were due to leave the following day.The chairman alluded to the cruiser's de partnre, remarking that Mr. Welsh and his comrades had a few weeks ago come to the intitnte as strangers but were leaving as friends who. on thrir retnrn, wonldbe sore of a most heartv weloome.

STATISTICS FOR 1905.
IMPORTS INCREASE BY ONE MILLION
The Castoms returns for December last, which have just been issned, are of exceptional importance inasmuch as they famish us with the statistics not only for that month, bat for the whole year, and enable ns to antioipat , in so far as regards the larger totals, tb® annual report of the Custom* Administration, which "'ll ^0t appear for a month or tijo yet. The imports for December fell considerably below the figures for the same month of 1904, bat as was pointed oat in the November Journal of the British Chamber of Commerce, this must ntft be taken to indicate that trade is in any way retrogressing. It is to ba borne in mind that the clearances dnring the November and December of 1901 were phenomenally large. Aboat that time merchants and retailers, through commission agents, apparently all though*; it necessary to lay in heavy atooks. These stooks ryare not so readily assimilated as had been anticipated, and therefore in many trader buyers had to oartail their purchases last year. This is made evident by the faot that although the total increase in the import trade in 1904 amoanted tQ aloae on four millions (whioh, it mast be admitted, was altogether phenomenal), the inore ise reoorded in 1905 only figured oat at something over one million (Egyptian pounds). Notwithstanding, the year's import returns constitnte a record, and even if the same rate of progress was not maintained as in 1904, the figares mast bj considered satisfactory as showing not only that there has been no aotoal retrogression but that the normal rate of progress has been maintained. A comparison of the figares for the past three years, with the respective shares of the principal importing countries, will prove interesting.

A native contemporary is responsible for the following story :
Prince Ahmed was at midnight on Monday sitting alone in the "Champs Elysées" cafe in Sharia El Zsher, Cairo, when three persons, two Englishmen belonging to the Army of Oooupation, and an Italian, drew noar his Highness and requested him to give them money. The Prinos told them that he had no money on him, bat they would accept no ex onge and threatened him with death if he would not comply with their demands. Seeing how persistently these men demanded money, Prince Ahmed wrote oat a little note and, calling his servant, be said quietly: Well, my friends, this hote will ensure your obtaining money for yourselves from my house. The two Eaglishmen thereopon deoamped, bat the Italian remained talking with the Prince, who kept big sang-froid. Half an hoar later Gabran Bay Muskat, of the Cairo police, appeared upon the soene, and the Prince was released from his predicament, while the Italian was taken to prison. The latter has confessed his guilt and given the names of his comrades.

The Egyptian Gazette has much pleasure in presenting to its subscribers the accompanying description of some of the many interesting routes by which they may travel homewards. Great care has been taken to arrange them as accurately and concisely as possible, and it will be found that none of them are fraught with difficulty. In choosing the route home there are several things to be considered. To begin with there is the difference in climate between Egypt and the various points at which you may arrive in Europe. This depends partly upon the month in which you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may be a little warmer than the Riviera, and possibly not so warm as Sicily, but in March it will be warmer than Rome, and more uniformly warm than many other places in Europe. Many people leave Egypt fur too early in the year, for as a rule the weather in April and May is perfect. The warmest place to go to on leaving Egypt is Sicily. Some will want to take into consideration the number of days to be spent at sea, and we therefore subjoin a list showing the time occupied on each of the various routes between Egypt and the Continent of Europe.
They are as follows The long sea routes—from Port Said or Alexandria to Plymouth, Southampton, London or Liverpool—occupy about 14 days. The short ones ore us follows;— Port Said or Alexandria to Brindisi 3 days Alexandria to Messina 3 „ Port Said or Alexandria to Marseilles 5 „ Alexandria to Venice and Trieste... 4 „ Alexandria to Naples 3 „ Port Said to Genoa 5 „ Port Said to Naples 4 „ Alexandria to Constantinople ... 4 „ Alexandria to l'ineus 2 „ Port Said to Gibraltar 7 „
The steamers, of the P. and 0. North German Lloyd, Orient and Messageries Maritimes are the largest. The Anchor, British India, and Bibby Lines are also excellent, and their steamers are largely patronised by travellers to Egypt. As regards the train journeys from Cairo, the shortest is that to Alexandria, without change (3 hours). That to Port Said, can now be made without change in 4 1/2 hours. The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines of steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. The German Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg.

The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines of steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. The German Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg.
mails from the great liner arrived from Bombay. These small but comfortable ships have enormously powerful engines, and attain a very high rate of speed. They are called the "Perry boats," having been specially built to carry the British mail from Port Said to Brindisi. If you are going straight through to England you will find the train waiting at .Brindisi which will take you to Calais without changing. It has complete arrangements for j sleeping and eating on board, and you should arrive in London on the fifth day from leaving Port Said.

The direct route to Sicily is by the Florio-Rubattino Co.'s steamers which leave Alexandria weekly for MESSINA, where one takes train to TAORMINA, one of the most charming and popular places on the island. Giardini is thc station at which to alight, and the drive up to Taormina is most delightful, occupying about one hour. In and around the town is much to interest the visitor. The theatre is of Greek origin, but restored under the Romans. CATANIA is the starting place for the ascent of Etna and here also is a fine Cathedral. The Greek, Roman, and Saracenic remains that are found all over the island, are an endless sources of pleasure. SYRACUSE has an interesting history, having been a Greek city, which was designed by Demosthenes in B.C. 413, and taken by the Romans in B.C. 212, when Archimedes was slain—his tomb is to be seen. The cathedral was once an ancient pagan temple. PALERMO, with about 300,000 inhabitants is the capital of the Island, and enjoys a delightful climate. Much of interest is to be found in this fine city. The Palazzo Beale is of Saracenic origin and close to it the church of S. Giovanni degli Eremiti with its picturesque cloisters. The Cathedral, Museum, Botanic Gardens, Villa Giulia and Royal Park are also worth a visit.
The fine steamers of the North German Llovd leave Alexandria every Wednesday 1 during the season for Naples, the voyage being only 8 days. NAPLES is also reached in 10 hours from Palermo by the Florio-Rubattino Co.'s steamers, which leave daily. One cannot approach Naples or leave it without wishing to explore some of its islands, besides the lovely places on its bay—Castellamare and Sorrento. The small steamer that takes you to Sorrento [you can drive too] will take you on to Capri. From Naples to ROME is a train journey of but five hours. All who can will devote at least one week to visiting the many historical and interesting portions of the Eternal City, whose charms and beauties are too well-known to need comment hero. Leaving the Eternal City with much regret, a railway journey of five hours brings you to FLORENCE, where another week can well be spent admiring the City of Flowers arid its surrounding country. In Florence itself the ! churches and galleries are of absorbing interest, whilst the local promenades and excursions should not be omitted. The Cascine is the most attractive and fashionable promenade in Florence, whilst the Viale dei Colli, one of the finest walks m Europe, opened 85 years ago, goes winding up through the hills a distance of four miles. The most delightful excursion outside Florence is that te Vallombrosa, with its Monastery 3,300 feet above the sea level. This is made first by ordinary train from Florence to St. Ellero, thence by cog-wheel railway to Saltino. The ascent through groves of oaks takes an hour, and most striking panoramas are unfolded to view. PISA is easily reached from Florence in about 2 hours ;here there is a fine Cathedral jand the Leaning Tower. A stay of at least one night should If possible be made, in order to enjoy the view from the Campanile at sunset. VIAREGGIO. One of the most delightful places on the Italian Riviera near Pisa and on the main line from Rome to Genoa. It is a very convenient half-way house between Egypt and England, and where living is reasonable ; and the air and surroundings exceptionally good.
GENOA (La Superba).—The most I picturesque and interesting city in Italy, with the record of having one of the lowest death averages of European cities and a phenomenally equable temperature—warm in winter and deliciously cool breezes from the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean in summer.
The patriarchal home of Italy's most ancient nobility, whose palaces, gardens, and famous collections of statuary, frescoes, and paintings are a constant delight to thousands of travelers who annually sojourn in Genoa. Then there are the superbly decorated medieval churches containing exquisite marble columns and historical paintings, and the incomparable Campo Santo filled with its wonderful tombs.
From Genoa to Milan is a matter of only three hours by rail. MILAN is a good centre for Northern Italy before making the tour of the. Lakes. The Cathedral is the principal attraction, with its beautiful windows illustrating the History of the Bible. The public gardens and the monumental cemetery are also worth a visit. Between Bologna and Milan and only an j hour and-a- half from Milan is SALSOMAGGIORE, a renowned health resort on account of its thermal springs, change trains at Borgo San Donino and in half-an-hour you are at Salsomaggiore.
VENICE is a 5 hours journey by rail from Milan, and one of the most delightful places imaginable to pass a quiet stay. The total absence of vehicular traffic strikes one as very strange ; no horse, cart, carriage or bicycle is to be seen, and yet there is the sound of life at every turn. The approach to Venice from the Adriatic is unlike that of any other sea-port. The town seems to be gradually, like Aphrodite, born of the sea, no hills behind, no stretches rock, but first the tops of Campaniles appear above the horizon, then slowly the whole glittering town rises like a fairy mirage out of the calm lagoon.
Going northwards from Milan you make the tour of the beautiful Italian lakes. COMO, the birthplace of the younger Pliny, is reached in one-and-a-quarter hours by train by way of Monza : Boats leave Como frequently for the other towns on the lake, which is very beautiful, and the scenery on either side going up the lakeis most enchanting. CERNOBBIO is a charming spot; then come Tremzzp, Cadenabbia, and Menaggio with the prettily-situated town of Bellaggio opposite. The walk from Tremezzo along the shore of the lake to Menaggio is most enjoyable. A steam tram runs from Menaggio to Porlezza on Lake Lugano in three-quarters of an hour, then steamer to Lugano in two-and-three-quarter hours.
Switzerland, the heart of Europe, has been described as "A cluster of delights and grandeurs." LUGANO is some 20 miles from Como and reached by train in one-and-a-half hours. It has a population of 10,000 people and is charmingly situated on the Lake of Lugano, amidst lovely Italian scenery. Around it rise M. San Salvatore, M. de Caprino and M. Generoso. LOCARNO may be reached by rail from Bellinzona in forty minutes. This pretty town, situated at the top of Lake Maggiore, has a mild climate, and is an excellent winter resort. The church Madonna del Basso, situated above the town, is worth a visit, as it contains interesting paintings, "Entombment," by Ciseri, and "The Flight into Egypt." by Bramantion. LUCERNE.—A striking picture on the Lake of Lucerne facing the Rigi and Pilatus and the snowclad Alps. In and around the town the walks are charming, and the excursions to be made from Lucerne by boat, rail, etc., are very numerous. The Lite of Lucerne abounds in delightful excursions, those to the Rigi, Pilatus, Burgenstock and Sonnenberg needing a special visit each. Other excursions on the lake can be made by steamer, and the ever-changing scenery on the trip from Lucerns to Fluelen is a source of delight to the lover of nature. BRUNNEN, charmingly situated on the most beautiful part of the Lake of Lucerne, commands magnificent views of lake and mountain scenery. Along the Lake of Uri from Brunnen to Fluelen runs the famous Axentrasse. A delightful excursion from Lucerne is that to ENGELBERG. Take boat to Stansstad and from Stansstad it is about 1 hour and 40 min. by Electric Railway, with delightful scenery en route. The ascent of Titlis, is made from here, and the panoramic view of the Alps is grand; extending from Monte Rosa to the Black Forest, and from the Santis to the Matterhorn. THE BERNESE OBERLAND.—INTERLAKEN a favorite summer resort and the best center for making excursions in the Oberland, abounding in fine walks and views. There is a magnificent view of the Jungfrau from the Hoheweg, a fine avenue of walnut trees the chief resort of visitors. Interlaken is also not far from the famous .waterfalls, Giessbach, Trummelbach and Staubboch. Then also the glaciers of Grindelwald and view from Murren and the Schynige Platte are sights not to be " CHATEAUD'OEX. 3,600 ft. above the sea on the new Elec trio Railway between Montreux and Interlaken, surrounded by magnificent scenery, with pure dry air. Much frequented by English people in Summer and Winter.
Many people visit Greece after wintering in Egypt, as it is so easily reached from Alexandria ; the climate in April is charming. The best steamers are those of the Khedivial Mail Co. and the Russian Steam Navigation Co. If possible tourists should arrange to be in Athens for the Orthodox Easter in order to witness the Good Friday and Easter Eve ceremonies, and to be present at the dancing on the Easter Tuesday festival held at Megara for which a special train is run from Athens. It is worth while to spend a few days in CORFU on account of the beauty of the scenery. There is also good snipe and quail shooting to be had.
