The first of these works has made it possible to cultivate six million acres of land, an area larger than the whole of arable Egypt.

That auch wonderful re- tas we see to-day have been achieved is almost entirely due to pur engineers. Hongkong has been dracribed as an Engineers" Paradise, and 's engineering feats are said to be the envy of many Far Eastern countries. Physical decal. tles have been overcome in a mar vellous fashion, and I think that the Prophet Isaiah must have seen a vision of Hongkong when he wrote the words, "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mom- tain and hill shall be made low."
