GREAT, RESERVOIRS IN EGYPT,

Diodorus, Strabo and Herodatus have, inde pendently borne witness to a vast artificial lake or reservoir, which was constructed to receive the superfluous water from the Nile at flood time, and to distribute it, when and where ra- quired by means of canals. The latter writes in enthusinje in bis admiration of the'work, which he classes far above the mighty Pyramid of Cheops as an example of the triumph of human skill and labour over natural obstacles This lake-Moeris-was dug by the orders of King Amenemhat I'I, who lived about 2,000 A. G. It had a superficial area of 950 square miles-about the size of an average English county with a depth in places of 300 feet, and its contour measured 450 miles. It was con nected to the Nile by a canal ten miles long and 300 feet wide, controlled by means of sluices, which served to draw off the surplus water from the river, and return it at periods of low water.

common not only among the Moros, but even in Manila. A thirteen-year-old, girl was re- cratly offered for sale in Stassi. Her master j ́w inted $60 silver currency ($25.20 American currency) for her, but had a cheaper girl that desired to dispose of for $40 silver currency (516 Bo American currency).

As all who have followed the recent history of Egypt will know, the site of the ancient lake A has been identified beyond doubt with the pre- sent province known as the Fayoum, by Copa. Whitehouse, whose researches have not only abundantly justified the classical historians, but have had a most direct bearing upon the

problem of the irrigation of Egypt at the pra sent day. The canal to the Nile had become silted up during centuries of neglect, and the lake had vanished, but the depression remained; as a fertile valley in the desert,

In seeking for a reservoir for the supply of Egypt during the dry season, it is not to be wondered at that the reconstruction of the ancient Lake of Stoeris should have been care.

TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS:

"BAYVIEW, MACAO." Macao, 7th June, 1905.

AN APPEAL

"A word remains to be said with reference to slavery, which still remains in existence de facto, if not dejure, in Mora province. Peonage insensibly shades off into slavery, and it would be impossible to say where one begins and the other ends. All the Moro peasantry render certain personal services as well as pay taxes or land rents to their dator. These obligations are combined with a certain political subjection, which' is itself of a more or less economic character-that is, the subject and the slave are not so far apart 9k our preconceptions would lead us to believe, when, a dato chances to be the ruler and master. However, a man without the political authority of a dato might own slaves in the Moro coun tries. A man may become the slave of another for debt or may be adjudged into slavery for crime. Children of slaves are also slaves, as the | who are taught by the Sisters, children of peans are peons. A slave for debt ceases to be a slave when the debt is paid; but while there is a. pro forma wige in case of the peon,there appears tobeno semblance ofswage in case of the Moro debt slave.
