The great physical peculiarity of Egypt is
the absence of ruin, tho land being only ir
rigated hy the annual overflow of the Nile.
The climate i* remarkably mild and sound,
especially south of the delta; and in the
desert, from Cairo to Alexandria, the aii
contains more moisture than to the south
From tlie middle of August to December,
west winds prevail; east winds from that
time till March; after that, unhealthy south
winds or khamsin Dll Juno ; and from June
till August tlie north or Etesian winds,
Earthquakes are occasionally felt, and the
temperature varies from 84'' F. to 32". The
most remarkable phenomenon is, however,
the regular inerea*o of the Nile, fed hy th
fall of the tropical rains, which commenci
in IP north latitude,in the spring; and fall
ing first into the White, and then Hluc Nile
reach Egypt in the middle, and the delta ii
the end of June. In the middle of July, the
red water appears,and the rise maybe elated
from that time. It attains its maximum at
the end of September, and begins to decline
visibly in the middle of October, and sub-
Hum tlm variation of teuinurntiirL*.

have given them an instinct to mischief
and destruction.— Voltaire,
