They were stirring an ! ; enormous cauldron which had something very hot in it by the look of the smoke which came out. All the cooks ! were bumping into each other and each was trying to tell the other what to do. There was no order and there was nothing but confusion. And above was a large sign which read: "Too many cooks spoil the broth!" And as the guests were clapping, all the cooks threw up into the air the spoons they had been stirring the broth j With and cried: "It is quite spoilt, there is iv> use in doins anything now." Then they saw the curtain lowered | and in another moment it was raised again and there were many children sitting in front of huge dishes ?>f food.

Causes Deep Depression in Plateau. When the railway was opened from ft point near Luxor, into the Libyan rteserr there was rendered easy the *pproa<*h of the oasis of Khargeh, which Is regarded as a typical example of these isolated centers of life. For some years a British scientist and explorer made a study of this oasis, observing the phenomena of springs, moving sands, wells, etc. The Libyan oases are deep depressions in a lofty plateau which lias ? maximum elevation of nearly L\>H)0 feet, but tlie bottoms of the oases are only from to 300 fetf} above s<>a level. They are underlain by nods of sandstone, whic.i are the sources of the water supply. Artesian welis 400 feet deep form practically inexhaustible means of irrigation and such deep wells have been used from fliR-K'iit times. The depressions were otu-e the beds of lake<. and the water in the sandstone probably has its sources in the Abyssinian highlands. Amusing inc i\ctuvc;>.
