DESERT OF SAHARA.-Perhaps no more
hopeless enterprise could he undertaken
than to attempt to reclaim the great African
desert of Sahara. where no ram ever falls,
and there but occasional eases to give relief
to the weary and taInting caravans that tray
crsc it. Modern science however laughs at
seeming impossibiities. Skiitul engineers
in the French army in Aleicrs proposed to
sink Artesian wells that thus water could be
reached and forced to the surface. In 1860
five hrtcsan wells have been opened around
which as vegetation thiievcs luXuranty,
thirty thousand palm trees and one thou
sand fruit trees were planted and two thri-
wing villages established. a depth Of u
little over five hundred feet an underground
river or lake was struck, ard from two OF
them live fish have been thrown up showing
that there was 4 large body ofwater under
meath.
The French Government by this means
hopes to make the route across the desert
to Timbuctoo fertile and fit for travellers,
and thus to bring the whole overland travel
and commerce through Algeria. which will
he one Of the greatest feats Of modern sci.
cntiilc enterprise.
