Is That So?

Cairo, June 2 Via TWA
I didn't get to the Pyramids
today for two reasons the
nilometer and an ichneumon.
The nilometer at Cairo is
a column standing in a well
on the island of Roda, near
where Moses was supposedly
found in the bulrushes. The
well is connected with the
river whose rise and fall is
measured on the column.
By means of readings on
the nilometers along the riv
er the Egyptians were able
to figure out what the prob
able annual flood would be.
In fact, they judged their an
nual taxes by it es well as ir
rigation. Since weather reports along
the Nile's 4,000-mile length
are rather scanty, the nilo
meters are still consulted re
garding the annual floods that
come in the summer months
and reach their peak in Sep
tember. At this time of year the
water has a somewhat green
ish cast due to algae from low
water. That color disappears
as the algae are destroyed in
the floods.
A boy fishing near the
ancient monument had his pet
ichneumon with him. The an
imal, an Egyptian mongoose
that is bigger than the Indian
type, is popularly called
"Pharoah's rat." I watched
him smelling among the
stones, hunting a rat or mouse
-hich, with birds and snakes,
stand next to eggs among his
favorite foods.

From the silent, efficient
way in which he worked it
was obvious why the ancient
Egyptians memoralized him in
stone as a most capable mou
ser. '
According to some, the ich
neumon is responsible for the
almost total absence of croco
diles from the Nile of Lower
Egypt. He is said to have
eaten their eggs and thus
killed off the crocs.
But Nile crocodile eggs
have very hard shells. Fur
thermore, they are buried un
der about two feet of sand.
And since the mother croco
dile spends the greater part
of the 12-week-hatching pe
riod lying over them, it is dif
ficult to see how even the
boldest ichneumon could get
to them.
Almost certainly the real
reason for the crocodile's re
treat up the Nile is a combi
nation of the high-powered
rifle and the country's ex
ploding population. While
Egypt proper has nearly 400,-
000 square miles of territory,
its 22,000,000 people are pack
ed into the 13,500 square miles
along the river.

Spokane disappointed a
crowd of 4,841 fans at Salt
Lake's Derks Field by scoring
eight runs in the fourth frame
and a single marker in the
sixth to hold on for a narrow
victory over the Bees. The
home club had gone into an
early 5-0 lead but the Indians
erupted for five singles and a
double in their big inning, also
taking advantage of two Salt
Lake errors.
Carlos Bernier homered for
the losers to run his hitting
streak to 34 consecutive games
and Dick Stuart pounded out
his 16th and 17th round-trippers
to make it close. The
Bees scored three runs in the
seventh but Spokane's run
scored in the sixth on a triple
and sacrifice fly held up for
the victory.
Starter Larry Sherry gained
his first win of the year
against two losses although he
needed help from Bill George.
Jim Hardison was charged
with the loss.
