The Nile and its Barrages
13y Grate Murdock.
Every nation that has tried to
straighten the unstraightenable affairs
of pea kings and Khedives has been
aware of the Vast importance of the
Nile and had also some idea of the
still Vaster importance to Which it
Might attain ; but it was not until
some five years ego that the project
which will make the Egypt ot the fu-
ture was planned and carried out. The
EgYPt of the future will be the corn
growing country of the world. There
will ro longer he a high Nile or a
low Nile for the skill of meat has
changed end regulated that _power
which rules the destiaies of kapt.
The planning and arranging and, also
the causing out of this important
;natter is due to the genius of the
people Who support an army of emelt-
potion in Egypt --The British.
In 1833 and 1861 a hatrage, really
two dame, was erected by the French
engineers across the river a, short
distance below Cairo for the" purpose
of inaintaining the level of the river
during the ebb and for the better ir-
rigation oliajte surrounding country,
but the stwendous piece ot engineer-
ing failed owing to defects in the
structure. Britain succeeded in 189X
hi putting it in order.
Scarcely had the Cairo barrage been
put to use when schemes for the erec-
tion of others began to exercise the
minds of the people. Over this affair
the people were frantic with excite-
ment. Some said the templee would
be destroyed but finally they were
pacified and a dam 'was constructed ;It
Assouan. This piece., of architecture
was something very grand. Castellat-
ed gateways, gracefully swinging brid-
ges and delicate tracery and iron-
works gave a person the impression
of the glorified entrance to sonic fairy
land. All the cOmpleteness of effect
and purity of outline are here, yet
there is strength as well. To. heighten
-the charm there is laid out on the
left bank the most beautiful of • gar-
dens. This dam or barrage itself ti
no more beauty than aity ordinary
stone wall, for there is not One stone
in the whole structure which is 'there
for ornament. Is is supposed to be
composed of as much stone as there'
is in the Great Pyramid of Egypt,
fur it was made to resist a strong
pressure and is a better monument to
British engineering skill than to Brit-
ish taste and appreeiation of the
beautiful.
The ffiture of Egypt will show us
the value of these two barrages.
Modern science has broken in upen the.
routine of centuries. and the forward
step must be taken. The native up to
the present has had it all his own
way, but what use has he made of it?
The past is (lead, ;the present is dy-
ing, and the future holds good. for a
better prospect. HoW this facility for
irrigation will affectthe country is
a problem which the whole world Witt
study with interest and only corning.

Bird Homes.
It has been suggested that an article
OIL Bird, Routes *night do more harm
than good, since it would add to the
knowledge already possessed by the
birds' human enemies. I thinkthis
iThstake. ; a near acquaintance
with our feathered &Made n their
homes will surely give to the most
careless such an interest in the birds
and their gdaily lives, such a new sense
of companionship with them and af-
fection for them, that it Can but work
for their good. Yetit may be as well
to say emphatically at the outset :
Make your object the study of birds
through their nests and eggs. Do not
add 4 new terror to the many that al-
ready beset anxious little bird moth-
ers by disturbing them during the
breeding season or taking them eggs
for a So-called collection. If you stop
at this you will lose some Of the
choicest pleasures that fall to the lot
of the nature lover;
A carefel examination of a bird's
nest will convince any one that it is
a work of art. One cannot help won-
dering at the ingenuity displayed by
its architect. How carefully a bird
adapts itself to its surroundings M
well illustrated by endl•ess, examples ;
the red -winged blackbirds (whoSe
nests are usually built among reeds,
flags or bueli(1s) make their nest very
much deeper when the, place selected
is subject to strong meads than in
more •sheltered spots ; and then as a
further safeguard, . the mouth of the
nest contracts so that the eggs will
not' fall out when the flags are swayed
by the wind. These clever birds have
even been known to place their eggs
in a. deserted woodpecker's nest 311
pleeeS Where the fish crows were num,'
erous--for the fish crow is worse even
than the jay as an egg and Iledgling
thief. Intim; way the red -wings man-
aged to elude their persecutors and
save their eggs and young from de-
struction, '
Some birds readily avail themselves
of new and favorable conditions The
Phoebe formerly bailt its nest exelu-
• sively on rocks, but now that houses
11,1 bridges are to be found through -
.out .the country, this bird has to 4
great extent changed its former cus-
tom, and it ;low builds nests op, al-
most any sort of structure erected by
(nom. This also applies to the barns
swallow while ;the chimney -swift has
taken possession of our chimneys awl
ahnost forsakes' the hollow tred-trunks

How rapidly birds are changing their

l'roin the few samples we have abOut

Or 'crows (for the openingto the nest
:s.o(tea large mough to allow a crow
to enter without difficulty) ; here is a
case where • mithentie observations
Might tell us much of the bird's life -
history. • • •
The ruby -throated luttntning-bird
saddles his tiny nest usually' o11. a high
.branch and covers it. with lichen .so
that. it resembles a lump on, the

sumably as a rnatter pl safety and for

The Balite:lore oriole hangs his Well-

tecture ori the extreme end of an over -
hal -Ting branch where ziothitig, but a
winged ,enemy, can reach it. To guard
against these thaneet is Made so that
it looks somewhat like a hornet's nest
whieh the jays, croweor hawks
would not care to interfere. Theo
again, after all these precautions the.
comfort as well as the safety of Inc
young is thought • of when the nest is
built, ,the lower part being compactly
raid strongly made, while the walls .
are loosely woven so as to admit of
free eireulatioa of air. The eggs Of
'the belted 'kingfisher are placed In a
hole often six or eight feet deep, exca-
vated in a bank by the birds them-
selveS after as Much as two weeke'
work. Why the cowbird declines to
hatch its own eggs has never beep
satisfactorily explained. It is certain,
however, that there is some pod and
sufficient reason,
. .
The Rifrop'ean cuckoo, like the cow -
•bird, lays her eggs in the nests of
other birds, those of the antaller birds
beiug usually chosen. A Certain Vrencli
writer gives as'a reason the fad that
the cuckoo tanitot lay eggs on suc-
ceeding days. How lolig the interval
Is has not beeti decided, but if it is of
many daye'd uration that would be an
ample reason for the bird's not bend-
,
ing a test for itself, Since the eggs
might be stolen were they left tutpro-
toted- Until the full eornpleMent were
laid. 'the eggs of the yellow -billed
eitekoo are teaul to be deposited at ir-
regular intervals from two to five
days and. are occasionally found in the
fiesta of other birds. Whether in days
gone by they Placed their eggs entirely
in the 'care •of other birds or Whether
they will do so he the future is of
course a problem, but It is quite pos-
sible that some; such &mtgee is taking
Mace. There are birds which, having
laid their eggs, over them up and al-
low them to. loath bythemselves,.
trusting to the heat generated by the
covering chosen. I know of none of
our eastern birds that do this, yet
some' of them make use of vegetable
substance that has heating qualities.
Tito grebes, for instance, use,decayed
and damp vegetable matter, while
many of our swan birds place in their
nests woolly stuffs and other nowcon.
ducting materfal, probably to protect
the highly SeneitiVer eggs front sudden
changes of temperature. ,
The shapes or egp Aow in many in-
stances the forethought of nature.
Eggs that are laid on bare rocks atiq
exposed places where little or no ;tests
are made, are generally rounded at
the larger end and come almost to
point at the other extremity . this
makes it possible for them to b; turn -
04 by the wind without rollint away
whereas the dound eggs that are 1011nd
in well -protected plage4;'slich as holes
in trees, would soon be blown oft by
4 strong wind in exposed estuations.
The ways of birds are (Diktat to nit,
denten& Why should some build in
colonies and others singly but close
together and others again miles' away
from their kind ?" The passenger pig-
eon gives the best example. 01 nest col-
onies, immense numbers breeding in
a very /Milted area. Prof. IL 11,
Rooney speaks of a nesting area forty
mileslong and from three .to ten miles
wide, where in 1878 a million and a
half of the pigeons were killed for
food purposes, while if those that were
taken alive and the dead nestlings
were included lite number would reach
the enormous total 'Of a thousand mil -
ions. This is thought to be somewhat
exaggerated, but shows whatan im-
mense number of birds must have been
breeding in this limited space. Some
of our small birds nest in colonies ;
ainong them the red -winged blackbird
and some of the swallows afford the
most „noticeable examples. Tim bobo-
link and marsh wrens also live in scat-
tered communities during the breeding
season. Most cif the larger hawks se-
lect a desirable copse or fairly targe
tract of woodland as a Common home,
and it is seldom that another nest of
the same species is found within that
area. In Florida, where each cypress
swamp is usually clearly define4,. it is
seldom, except in the large swampe,
,that one finds in each more than one
hest of the Florida red-shouldsged
hawk --a species very , abundant 'throu-
ghout the moie southern parts of the
state.
Some birds • return regularly year
after. year to the sanse nesting site,
even after their nests have been rob -
held several times. I have known a
ereeted flycatcher to build in the smile
hole for tliree years in suceession.
though each set of eggs was taken.
Phoebes return With great .regularity
to the same bridge, building Or rock,
where they snake (Inc or twonests
each season. Some of the 'eerie. also
use the same hole far many years and
hawks and crows rebuild theirold
aests, so that tia.cli year the nest
becomes larger as layer after layer is
added, •
Most, if net all, birds are governed
M their habits by regular rtiles-from
which' however, they occasionally de-
part, 'just as the human being departs
from the rules .which seem trioet 'gener-.
ally applicable. • •
The Wilson's thrush, whose nest is
commonly on or near the ground, has
been known to build in a hole in a
tree: Bpb• -whites' nesta containing
thirty-seven eggs -have been reported -
though these' were, of course, net all.
tarn by one ten. ' The eggs were said
to be arranged in tiers with the atrial -
ler ends pointing towards the eentrc.
it is curious to note that if the fe-
inale bobe.white is killed after the eggs
are laid the mile bird takes upon hime
self the entire duty of hatching. • This
uray not, be an invariable rule but
numberof instances have been reported
by reliable observers. Robins will some
time build their nests in buildings
or bridges with no vegetation in the
itnniediate vicinity of the nest and
mocking birds have chosen fenee 'rails:
and other such queer places for their
building: sites. . • . .
In parts of the old World and in
South,Ameelca Will be found birds that
build' extraordinary nests and have
curious habits, The Male hornbills
have a remarkable custom t)f fasten-
ing Up the female in a hole in a tree
during the period of hatching, be seal-
ing Up' the entrance with niud,. leaving
a small opening through widen she is
supplied with food. Should the male
be kilied it i5 a question Whether , or
not the female could free herself. This
habit isdoubtless a method of protec-
. •
The pest of the tailor -bird is a goad
example of the skill displayed by birds
in building and concealing their homes;
They sew the edges of a large growing
leaf round the nest so that it is abso-
lutely hidden froin View'. 'The bower -
birds use queer material, . such as
bones, pieces of metal, shells, etc., but
perhaps the greatest curiosity supplied
by birds is the nest of the esculent
swift, known commonly as the edible
bird's nest, so much appreciated by •
the Chinese as a table luxury.
These are but a• few exaniples of the
endless variety to be found in bird
architecture.
• The period of , hatching varies of
course with different birds ;-- for in-
stance, with the white -eyed vireo it is
about seven days ; the indigo -bird
,takes ten days, the wood thrush. twelve
:and the, Tidied grouse eighteen. Eggs
