The twentieth century is for the engineer, whether it be he who harnesses the water-courses, who traim the electrical elements, or who trans forms the latent energy of carbon ihto that which propels the ship afloat and the locomotive on land. Its out’ook is of historic empires and anei jit civilisations developing awakened ambitions under the impact and the guidance of the Western World. To day Egypt, India, Asiatic Turkey are moved by common industrial impulses and linked by similarity of physical circumstances with the south-west region of the United States ; the modern, the historic, and the prehistoric perspectives merge in Arizona and Mesopotamia.—" Scribner’s Magazine."
