THORNTON—At Cairo early on Sunday morning September 8 the Rev. Douglas M. Thornton M.A. of the Church Missionary Society.
"I was reading the other day a remarkably interesting account of Professor Flinders Petrie's researches in the Sinai region," writes Mr. J. Ramsay Macdonald in the "Labour Leader." "It was a triumph of patient seeking after evidence, of patient piecing it together, of patient reading of its enfolded meaning. I felt for the time how much better are the deserts of Sinai than the green benches of the House of Commons, how much richer is the harvest one reaps from the effort spent in the one than in the other, how much more pleasure one gets from scientific work than from political worry, and how much happier is the scientist that the politician. Amidst the altars of Sinai the petty has been hushed by the soothing best of many centuries, and only the worthy and the venerated arise at the resurrecting call of the explorer.
"After that I saw that this explorer of Egyptian temples and Arabian settlerrients had written a book on politics, and I got it to see what a scientific mind had to say on the fights of modern men and the turmoil of living cities. But no pleasure awaited me in 'Janusin Modern Life' (Constable: 2s. 6d. net). A scientific man in the market place is apt to be a Jeremiah and is prone to be the most unscientific of persons.
"Professor Petrie's excursion in politics is not worth discussing in detail, but it has set me thinking why advanced political thought gets so little support from the scientific professions nowadays in this country. Once upon a time the learned professions were Liberal almost to a man ; now they are Conservative. Elsewhere, even when they are opposed, their critical contributions to political thought are valuable ; in this country few of their political pronouncements are worth reading.
"One of the reasons is that in this country there is no scientific class. It is mixed up with and patronised by other classes. Its successful men enter society, and abandon that intellectual simplicity which a simple-minded devotion to science demands.
"The catholicity of English society is its most portentons characteristic. This thing which has grown up through the centuries, which has a blinding dazzle, fabulous wealth, smiling attractions—which is too wise not to be sensuous, and too much alive not to be exhilarating—is like a Upas tree, under whose shadow no rival plant will grow. Faraday was the last of the pure class of scientists. Since then society has seen that it most win the homage of intelligence by playing down to the weakness of intelligence. Moreover, English science has been in the main individualistic. The competitive side of Darwinism has been exaggerated until its co-operative side has been lost sight of.
"Professor Petrie, lamenting about the sloth of the day, tells how it is to be found in all classes, and yet be puts it down to individual shortcomings. Surely a scientific eye would have seen that this widespread disease requireed some social cause. Or, again, when Professor Petrie refers to the great effect of mechanical appliances upon character, a scientific instinct would have seen at once that that was an important fact, establishing some organic relationship between the individual and his society which made crude individualism an untenable creed. One day the significance of these things will not. be missed, and it will a then be as impossible for a scientific man to write `Janus in Modern Life' and think of his individual apart from his society as it will be for him to be satisfied with the proots that the earth is flat."

A very amusing story is reported by the "Depêche Coloniale." Two torpedo boats are kept at Harve under the charge of a non-commissioned officer. The Vice-Admiral commanding the first naval district has just heard with amazement that for a month past an individual, giving himself out as a naval officer, has "taken command" of the Havre torpedo craft, making the crews man the boats, dress the ship, and perform exercises almost daily. He borrowed thǝ tunic of the non-commissioned officer in charge, and tacked on epaulettes to suit the 'rank he had given himself, of captain. A few days ago he disappeared, but in order, presumably, to leave a good impression behind, he cancelled all punishment he had inflicted. He is now being busily searched for. Whether his proceedings are those of a practical joker, lunatic, or spy seems uncertain.
The ball which took. place on Saturday evening in commemoration of the
anniversary of the Maltese National Fete was a great success. The fine
hall of the Maltese Philharmonic Society "Valletta" was utilised for the
occasion, and not only was the Maltese colony represented in large
numbers but also many strangers and friends were present. The
festivities were participated in till the small hours of yesterday
morning and the company separated with many pleasant memories of a
charming fete. The music provided by the Society band, under the able
direction of Maestro Cav. U. Pucciarelli was executed with considerable
skill on the terrace, which was brilliantly illuminated by electricity.
The band made a tour of the town yesterday morning playing spirited
marches, concluding an event which will provide many pleasant memories.
A lottery, for which the prizes were generously given by Mr. Robert
Stabile, president p. i. of the Society, was held and the successful

ARRIVAL OF SALVAGE STEAMER.
As reported in our issue of Saturday the position of the ,"Olivemoor" had become so dangerous that a tug had been sent out to her to stand by to fetch the crew ashore in the event of it being impossible for them to remain aboard the stranded vessel. The tug arrived shortly after we had gone to press and the same afternoon the crew left the boat. Behind the Porta and Lights tug were towed two of the "Olivermoor's" boats, but so rough was the sea that shortly after leaving Agami one of them broke away and was lost.
Thenceforth the boat was all but a derelict. Deserted compulsorily by her crew, it was only by the captain standing by in a tug, that she could not be lawfully claimed in ownership by the first who could step aboard her. The shore is crowded by a hoarde of Bedouins, anxiously waiting for the ship to break up that they may seize upon the wreckage. Driven hither and thither by the coastguards, these wild sons of the desert retire to return in stronger force, and should their avidity be increased by the sight of wreckage which might become their booty it would be quite impossible for the small force of coastguards to hold them back. Resistance would undoubtedly result in a fierce fight between coastguards and Bedouins, and report says that of the latter there are some two thousand. It is well-known to all that to the Bedouins of the coast the possibility of securing booty is the strongest incentive to fighting that one could offer them, and nought would they care did a few of them fall in the attempt to obtain it.
As for the vessel, her position becomes worse almost every hour, and on Saturday night she turned right round, her bow now pointing seaward. Needless to say the hole in her bottom is becoming larger and larger, and there is no doubt that she is on the pinnacle of a rock, which acts as a pivot to aid her in her circular movements. The water, which up to Saturday was confined to holds 1 and 2, is now filling her engine-rooms, and the " Berger Wilhelm " will have a hard fight to save her from becoming a total wreck.
At this point we would like to pay a just tribute to the manner in which the captain, officers, and crew have conducted their work since they were placed in their unfortunate position. Stranded for a week in a most dangerous position, with a jagged rock penetrating the bottom of the boat, hoping against hope for the sight of a salvage vessel to save a newly-built ship, baulked by unpropitious winds and rough seas, pitched from side to side, with the bolts and rivets threatening to give way with every movement of the vessel, these men have performed what little lay in their power with stout heart, and with the true stamina of the world-famed British sailor. Their's has been a hard task, for they recognised that they were working against the heaviest odds, while the hearts of the crew, who were working for their families at home, must have been sad at the thought that should they have to leave the ship, discharge was awaiting them ashore. But such is the law of shipping, and such is the condition under which they signed. We can but express the hope that other billets will speedily come their way. Meanwhile they will be housed and boarded at the Seamen's Home, and at the first opportunity will be offered passages to England.
At half past eight this morning we received a message to say that the salvage steamer "Berger Wilhelm" was entering the pass in order to go through the necessary formalities, such as taking practique, and to take in coal, on completion of which she would proceed direct to the "Olivemoor" and commence salving operations. The sea continues rough and the wind is blowing as strongly as ever.
The situation, disastrous as it is, has not been without its glimpse of humour. This morning a gentleman to whom had been consigned two trunks of patterns for suitings etc., called at the agency of the company to impress upon them the urgency of saving his consignment, even if nothing else could be salved. He suggested sending out a special tug to attempt their rescue, for they were worth, he said, £5,000. The impractibility of his suggestion was pointed out to him and he was told that in all probability they had been spoilt by the water, which floods the vessel. "Impossible," he cried, "I've got the key in my pocket !"
Later.
Most unsatisfactory reports on the situation of the "Olivemoor" continue to reach us and. just as we are going to press a message comes to hand that the vessel is practically "done for". So strong is the wind and so rough the sea that we understand there is little chance of the "Berger Wilhelm" being able to start operations before tomorrow morning.
Latest News.
The Captain of the "Berger Wilhelm" is going to make an effort to reach the "Olivemoor" this afternoon and, if possible, will commence operation& The vessel is now quite full of water.

WORK DONE IN 1906
We have just received a report from Captain H. G. Lyons, D.Sc., F.R.S., on
the work of the Survey Department in 1906. The two principal features of the
work were the completion of the cadastral survey and the publication of
about one-quarter of the general map of the Nile Valley and the Delta on the
scale of 1:50,000. In this report some statistics are given of the cadastral
survey, but it is proposed to treat this more fully in a special report. The
organisation of the Department remains as it was last year, viz. :—(1)
Headquarters : comprising— (a) Central Office. (b) Computation Office. (c) Map
Reproduction Office. (d) Chemical Laboratory. (2)
Precise Survey. (3) Topographical Survey. (4) Cadastral Survey. (5)
Geological Survey.
In the central office are included not only the administrative staff of the department, but also certain important sections which are engaged in branches of work necessary for the completion of the different classes of surveying, as well as the lines of investigation to which these give rise. These sections are :—
(1) The Computation Office, in which the mathematical control and discussion of the observations made in the course of surveying operations are carried out, as well as all calculations required for the accurate drawing and reproduction of maps. The superintendence of the meteorological stations and the preparation of the observations taken at them for publication also fall to the charge of this section.
(2) The reproduction office, in which all maps and plans are prepared, as well as diagrams and other similar work for the illustration of reports and publications.
(3) The laboratory, where rocks, ores, and minerals of the geological survey are examined, the gas supply of Cairo is photometrically controlled, materials such as paints, oils, lime, cement, asphalt, etc., are analysed to see that they are in conformity with specification, the water-supply of Cairo, is analysed weekly, as well as the river water and the silt which the Nile carries in suspension during a large portion of the year. The precise survey is entrusted with the first order ( geodetic ) and second order triangulation, the precise levelling, and the charge of the meteorological observatory at Helwan.
The topographical survey executes the third and fourth order triangulation, the preparation of topographical maps on 1:10,000 and smaller scales, the survey of towns, and hydrographic surveying, levelling, and gauging in the Nile Valley.
The cadastral survey prepares the 1:2,500 maps showing property boundaries, and the land registers which accompany them, together with all corrections to these and their revision.
The geological survey is employed in map-ping and describing the geological structure of the country.
A considerable amount of information, of both scientific and technical value, is constantly being accumulated in the Survey Department, although in many cases the investigation on any one subject does not go far enough to furnish material for a full report on it. In order that such information may be rendered available, the Ministry of Finance has authorised the publication from time to time of "Survey Department Papers" in which work of technical or scientific value will be presented. Each paper will deal with a single piece of work in as complete a form as the material available will admit, and every effort will be made to include a full account of all earlier work on the subject which may have been done in this country. It is hoped that in this way pieces of research may be rendered available to other scientific workers without the necesity for the long delay often caused by waiting until an exhaustive treatise can be prepared. This will also allow the annual report on the work of the department to be restricted to a teport of progress only, and will avoid the inclusion in it of the results of research work which may thereby he difficult of access.
At the present time two such papers have been published, viz. :—"A Preliminary Report on the Geology of the Eastern Desert" (south ern part), by Dr. W.F. Hume, and "The Rains and the Flood of the Nile Basin in 1906." by Captain H.G. Lyons. Two are in the press, viz :—"The Climate of Abbassia near Cairo," by Mr. B.F.E. Keeling and "The Demarcation of the Turco-Egyptian boundary between the Peninsula of Sinai and the Vilayet of the Hejaz," by Mr. B. H. Wade, Mr. B. F. K Keeling, and Mr. J.I. Craig, while the following are in preparation :—"A Discussion of the Values of Terrestrial Magnetism in North East Africa," by Mr. B.F.E. Keeling, "Map Projections, with Special Reference to that in Use for the Maps of Egypt," by Mr. J.I. Craig and "Evaporation in Egypt," by Mr. B.F.E. Keeling.

Since the crisis in Egyptian finance a few months ago as a result of the over-speculation in land we have not heard a great deal of Egyptian enterprises, although there are many progressive industrial undertakings well worthy of the attention of the investor. Now that matters have settled down quietly again one is disposed to look round for shares of a sound nature that have been unduly depressed by the temporary financial stress in the country. In this connection we may direct attention to the company well known here, and even better throughout the land of the Pharaohs, as Egyptian Markets, Limited. This concern, which has been established some nine or ten years, is not interested in land, as most of the enterprises promoted in this country are, but owes its origin to a concession granted by the Egyptian Government for the construction and management of official markets throughout both Upper and Lower Egypt. The concession being a Government grant constitutes what practically amounts to a monopoly so far as the specified localities are concerned, so that the company has nothing to fear in the way of competition. The idea of the Government in granting this concession was to endeavour to stamp out cattle diseases, which at one time were of a very serious nature in Egypt. At first the company had very many difficulties to contend with in this respect, but as time went on these difficulties gradually grew less, until the company has become, through sound and methodical principles, so successful in stamping out disease that the Egyptian Government have extended the period of the company's original grant by some fifteen years, The capital is, roughly, £174,700 in £1 shares, the whole of which is insured for repayment by a series of policies maintained annually out of revenue, so that shareholders will receive back in full their original capital whenever the properties revert to the Government. It is here interesting to see the gross receipts and dividends paid for each of the past three years :—
It should be pointed out that in 1903 there was a serious outbreak of cattle plague, so that both in that year and the following year no dividends were paid, although in the latter year a dividend was earned. as will be readily seen from the above figures. We have already said that this cattle-plague difficulty is gradually being wiped out, so that fear in this respect need now be only of a minor character, as the company is in a position to very effectively check outbreaks in fact, so successfully is this now done that the directors take very little notice of an outbreak. As an instance of the progress made .during the current year by the company, it may be noted that the gross revenue to date amounts to £25,892, and compares with £21,809 for the same period last year, thus showing an increase of some £3,583. This rate of advance is satisfactory, to say the least, especially as it is derived from the markets alone, and likely to be very materially increased when other sources of enterprise which the company has in hand commence to operate. Amongst these the company has undertaken—and lately made an issue of 50,000 new shares at 27s. 6d. per share for that purpose—the sale and distribution of nitrates in Egypt, for which with their 120 market centres they have unrivalled facilities. Apart from this, arrangements have just been completed with the two concerns in Egypt who practically between them own the salt monopoly for the Egyptian Markets to act as sole distributing agents for salt. It is thought that these latter arrangements are likely to have an enormous influence upon the company's earnings at an early date, especially in connection with the nitrate, for which there is an exceptionally keen demand throughout the whole of the country for agricultural purposes. People well informed as to the conditions prevailing are confident that the dividends will steadily advance to an ultimate goal of 20 per cent. at least, and, considering the prospects, the shares appear a cheap investment at the current price of about 29s., at which figure they are apparently being quietly absorbed by shrewd market individuals.
From the "Daily Report."
By the retirement of Colonel James Magill, M.D., C.B., the Royal Army Medical Corps will be deprived of the services of a most capable officer, whose good work in Egypt and the Transvaal has been highly appreciated. Colonel Magill, who was appointed a surgeon in 1876, was for many years associated with the Coldstream Guards, and was present with the camel corps throughout the Soudan campaign of 1884-85, during which he was severely wounded at the battle of Abu Klea, receiving for his services mention in despatches, the medal with two clasps, and the Khedive's Star. As Principal Medical Officer to a division, he saw most of the important engagements of the recent South African war, including the battles of Belmont, Enslin, Modder River, Magersfontein, and the subsequent operations in Cape Colony, again obtaining mention in despatches, two medals with no fewer than eight clasps, and the Companionship of the Bath. In 1904 he was gazetted to the rank of Surgeon-Colonel, and in the following year became Principal Medical Office in Egypt.

In reviewing the cotton movements during the past season, the "Manchester Guardian" states : Egyptian cotton has ruled high during the season, with some violent fluctuations. The lowest price of the season occurred very early. Fully good fair on the spot at Liverpool was at 9 15-16d. on September 1 and at 9 1/2d. on Ootober 4, but March contracts were lowest on September 1, and so was Alexandria. The highest point touched was on March 4—viz, 11 5/8d. on the spot at Liverpool, with July con-tracts at 11 38-64. and Alexandria at 24.10. From those prices values fell to 10 1/16d. for Liverpool spot on April 25 and to 18.9 for November in Alexandria. The crop has proved the largest on record, and so has the consumption. The deficiency of high grade long-stapled American has assisted the demand for Egyptian. Financial depression in Alexandria has of late affected the market, and the hoarding of gold up country by the fellaheen cultivators has, it is said, contributed to the difficulties. Guesses as to the size of the coming crop run from 7,250,000 to 7,500,000 cantars.
The season closes with a visible supply of 1,302,110 bales of American cotton, against 864,530 a year ago. The stock of American at Liverpool is 658,760 bales, against 298,220. The total visible supply of American for Great Britain is 666,760 bales, against 333,220 in 1906. The current price of middling American is 7.46., against 5.41d. in 1906.
The Council of Foreign Bondholders have received from the Council of Administration of the Ottoman Public Debt at Constantinople a statement, of which the folloWing is a summary, of 'the complete receipts in respect of the month of April, 1907, compared with those for April, 1906 :—
The appointment of Lieut.-General Henry Pane Grant, C.B., as Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Island of Malta and its dependencies is gazetted.
Colonel Fitzdeorge, the eldest son of the Duke of Cambridge, who passed away at Lucerne last week, came out to Egypt in 1882 on the personal staff of General Sir Garnet Wolseley. He was present at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir, and carried back to London the despatch announcing the British victory. For his services in the campaign he was rewarded with the brevet of lieutenant colonel, the medal with clasp, the Fourth Class of the Osmanieh, and the Khedive's Star. Colonel FitzGeorge retired from the Army in 1895.
The marriage took place, at the Parish Church, Richmond, Yorkshire, on the 28th ult., of Mr. John Monteith Furness, M.A., of Cairo, and Miss Alice Diana Croft, third daughter of Mr. C.G. Croft, of the Bailey House, Richmond,
The marriage took place on Saturday afternoon of Mr. L. L. Polity, of the Bank of Athens, to Miss Cleopatra Marcopoulo at Mr. Zouro's, uncle of the bride, residence. The ceremony was conducted by Mgr. Theophanos. A large number of friends of both bride and bridegroom were present and many beautiful presents were displayed. The guests were most hospitably entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Zouro and Mr. John Joannides, manager of the Bank of Athens, who acted as best man. After the ceremony a merry evening was spent by the party and the evening ended with a most enjoyable dance, which lasted until after midnight. The happy couple are spending their honeymoon at the New Victoria Hotel, Ramleh.
The "North German Gazette" in commemorating the accession of the Sultan's accession, makes reference to the Hejaaz Railway, and remarks :—
"The promotion of this enterprise," it is added, "testifies to Abdul Hamid's great political far-sightedness, since the line which starts from Damascus binds the Hejaaz region and with it the holy places of Islam, Mecca, and Medina more closely to the rest of the Turkish Empire, and firmly attaches the stream of Musulman pilgrims to the Turkish railway which is now being constructed in the track of the old pilgrim highway. Under Abdul Hamid's rule the authority of the Sultan, as compared with former days, has already grown appreciably in those regions which are so important for Islam, and the inevitable result of the construction of the railway will he still further to strengthen his position."

Mr. Edward E. Lang, in the "Contemporary Review," discusses "The All-India Moslem League," and points ont its vital differenee from the Indian Congress movement. The intentions of these Moslem reformers are, the writer maintains, such as should commend them to English sympathies.
No Britisher need have cause to fear the formation of the All-India Moslem League. Its object is to help the Government of India in the administration of that country, not to hinder it. It has nothing whatever to do with Pan-Islamism, although persons are sure to come forward who will discover all kinds of alarming evidence, manufactured to suit their own purpose, to prove that the Sultan of Turkey and the Khedive of Egypt have been the prime movers in the formation of the League, which the former intends to use to make thoroughly sound his power as Khalifa. Its birth signifies that Mahomedans now claim that right to which every free-born man is entitled of combining with his fellows to protect his interests, and its watchword is "defence, not defiance."
Malgré les menaces de mauvais temps, it y avait beauconp de monde hier au concert Beethoven. Le concert a été exécuté d'une façon admirable par l'orchestre Bracale, ce qui lui a valu beaucoup d'applaudissements. Les deux symphonies, la 3me et la 6me étaient nouvelles pour l'Egypte et on peat dire que les grands concerts classiques de l'hiver ne nous ont jamais offort la pareille, soit an Caire soit à Alexandrie. Chacune de ces symphonies n'a pas duré moins d'une heure et a été interprétée à la perfection grace an talent de l'énergique chef d'orchestre Mo Bracale, qui nous a prouvé une fois de plus ce dont est capable son vaillant orchestre.
