Formerly rain was unknown upon
the northern part of the Red Sea,
bat s,0ce the building of the Suez
canal showers have fallen regularly
abedt once q fortnight. The result
has been to start vegetation up,
even upon the Asiatic side, in the
most wonderful manner. If things
80 on as they have begun, the sands
ofthe Isthmus will be covered with
forests in another fifty years.
