square miles. It was an artificial lake,
regarded In Its day as one of th
wonders of the world, and was de
signed to regulate the flow of the Mle.
In Its way It was the most remark
able engineering achievement of an
tiquity. Hut flatun lake, on the line
of the Panama canal, beats It. being
about three times as big. Its object
Is similar namely, to take care of
the flood waters of the Chagres river
and prevent them from doing mis
chief. Oatun lake Is the largest artificial
body of water ever known In the
world. It Is, In fact, the most Impor
tant feature of the translsthmtnn
ennal, extending rwo-ttrirds of the dis
tance from the Caribbean sea to the
Pacific ocenn.
It occupies a basin that was dry
land before the canal was built; and
because the area covered by It Is very
hilly and topographically Irregular,
It stretches In a multiple of arms fa?
up Into Its marshy shores.
One renson why Its shores are
marshy Is that In Its shallows there
develops with astonishing luxuriance
a kind of grass whfch sends out run
ners in all directions. On this account
Its banks are not easily accessible
even to small craft.
As for fishes, It Is hoped that they
will multiply and furnish a worth
while food supply.
Appearances Were Against Her.
An amusing story was told to me
the other day concerning Lady Sybil
Grant, daughter of the earl of Rose
ber.Vw It appears that her ladyship, who la
an onthuslnstle war worker, recently
nsslsted In waiting upon some wound
ed soldiers nt n concert and tea got up
for their entertainment.
At the close of the meal one of the
guests, not in the least realizing who
she was. shyly offered her a tip, which
was politely declined.
"I really don't heed It, you know,"
said Lady Sybil smilingly, "I've got
plenty of money.
"Is that so?" exclaimed the soldier,
in tones of evident surprise, allowing
his gaze to rest on the plain linen
overalls she had donned for the oc
casion. "You've got plenty of money, have
you?"
Lady Sybil nodded assent.
"Well, miss," was the somewhat dis
concerting reply, "you'll excuse me
saying so, won't you? But you don't
look It." Pearson's Weekly.
Three Seasons In Year.
The Egyptian year was divided Into
three seasons. These were Shnit, the
season of waters, being the time occu
pied by the .rising spread and reces
sion of1 the Nile : Plrut, the season of
vegetation ; the Shonmu, the season of
harvest. These seasons are supposed
to have been arranged hy the god Thot.
Each season was divided into four
months and they were known in official
documents by numbers only. Thus we
hnve the first, second, third and fourth
months of Shalt, the months of each of
the other seasons being designated In
the same manner. Each month, how
ever, had a patron god and the people
ordinarily gave to It, in their dally In
tercourse, the mime of Its god. These
deity names of the months were tran
scribed into Creek, then into Arabic
and are now largely used by the Chris
tian Inhabitants of Egypt in prefer
ence to the Mussulman appellations.
; Sailor Now German Prisoner.
Men serving on the destroyer Jacob
Jones of the American fleet In foreign
waters had a terrific fight with the sea
after their ship had been sunk by a
German submarine. The attack came
suddenly, late in the afternoon. Al
though every effort was made to re
turn the fl).1it and save the ship, she
finally settled and went down. Many
of the men got Into the boats and on
the rafts and a great number were
seen swimming in the sea. -Two of
these were picked up by the Germans.
One of these men, John Francis Mur
phy, Is now held as a prisoner by the
Germans. After having gone through
the ordeal of being torpedoed Murphy
mude a heroic struggle to save mem
bers of the ship's crew. No further
news has been heard from him beyond
the fact that he is held prisoner In
Germany. Murphy was a ship's cook,
