sails or arms. Then the tallest build- 
ings began to appear, silhouetted 
against the blue sky line of the horizon. 
The whole country about and beyond 
the city seemed level and flat. 
Ancient Alexandria reached its great- 
est splendor during the regime of Cleo- 
patra, the last of the Ptolemies, when 
it was the emporium of the world, and 
next to Rome it was the most magnifi- 
cent city of antiquity, besides being the 
chief center of learning and literature. 
The present city of Alexandria, in its 
newest portion, resembles very much 
other cities of continental Europe, and 
is anything but oriental in appearance, 
with its spacio. streets and modern 
buildings. The old native portion is but 
an aggregation of huts and hovels and 
muddy streets and lanes, with a few 
mosques. The population is very much 
mixed. In addition to the native Arabs 
and Egyptians there are represented 
people from every part of the Levant, 
in addition to those from continental 
Europe and other countries. 
The shops display most of the articles 
of merchandise to be seen in European 
cities, and, while the bazaars are more 
picturesque and their wares more at- 
tractive, the booths are by no means 
neat or remarkable for cleanliness. A 
few camels and many donkeys, in addi- 
tion to cabs and carriages, throng the 
streets. In the center of the European 
quarter is the Square of the Consuls, 
surrounded by the better class of resi- 
dences, hotels, banks and churches. 
There are also other squares and parks 
with fountains and gardens, where 
bands play in the evenings. There was 
a large music hall where a fine female 
orchestra from Vienna could be heard 
and enjoyed.

perhaps a half pound in weight and 
handed it to Mr. Adams for classifica- 
tion. “It’s a sand porgy,” he said. 
“They run well up into salt-water 
streams. They are the immature mem- 
bers of a very prolific fish known to 
deep sea fishermen as porgy or scup. 
They apparently run up in such 
streams as much to escape their enemies 
as to secure food. They are an excel- 
lent pan fish and will take almost any 
bait but must be fished for at the bot- 
tom, using a small hook.” 
The afternoon was well along to its 
close when Mr. Adams said he thought 
it was well to call it a d'ay and quit as 
they had plenty of fish for their use. 
“We can try it very early in the morn- 
ing if we wish as there is no better 
time than just as the day is breaking 
for most any kind of fish.” “I’d sure 
like to know what took our baits a 
hootin’ so,” said Matt. “Seems ’ough 
we’d ought’a got one of ’em anyhow. 
Gosh! Look a ’there what’s cornin’?” 
He pointed almost overhead to a large 
crane lumbering along in its peculiar 
flight, its long legs projecting far out 
behind, making altogether a rather 
wierd picture. “I never seen’ nothin’
