that is, the area will have been doubled from
these two causes-an area one. half larger than
that Of the Caspian Sea. The presence of such
an enormous body of water in the Great Desert
would, we may we'll conceive, establish tri-
butary river system of it's own and maintain
an independent meteorological area of vsst
extent. Taking Is feet as the annual evapo-
ration (since we have supposed it to be di-
minished one-four h), and allowing 2 feet rain
fall yearly as sufficient TO insure productive
ness of the surrounding desert, We shall have
an area 1t times that OF this new sea- or I, ,160,-
0Oc square miles of reclaimed territory, to say
nothing of the incidental benefits accruiug to
Morocco, Algeria, and Tripoli, and possibly to
Egypt and Nobia also.
As to the stability of the new condition of
things, no present fear need be entertained.
For, since 525 times the flow of the Rhine
would require 100 years in which to fill the
great Sahara with deposit of SALT the pro-
posed 10 Rhine channel would occupy Is $50
years in accomplishing the came end. In
deed. it is doubtful If o much longer period
would accomplish it. For it must not be for
gotten that a sea fanna and fora would be de-
veloped, capable Of converting very large
amonnt of salt into organic mpounds, there
by eliminating it. Moreover, the consumption

Extract from the speech of Count deliye
in the French Assembly, May 4, 1871
The Pope gentlemen, have uttered 8 great
name. Permit me to linger a moment at this
word. The Pope! Whoever you are, un.
believers or believers, if you ever have turned
| in good faith your thoughts upon this wonder.
| ful power, which for nineteen centuries hae
| survived every tempest, and has seen empires
| fall without being crushed by them, this
power which fills the world with the echo of
its name, and whose history is bound mp with
that of every people if you ever contemp plated
this humanity lnexpiicable fact you would not
be able to repress sentiment of respect and
admiration. Applause from the benches of
the Right; derisive interruption from the
Lefty
You laugh, gentlemen; but 1 expected fully
this proof of your weskness exp C ted this
argument of reason against the grand prestiE Ee
of the Pspacy. On, there is nothing more for
you to do but to resort to insult, as your for
eign friends do in the press but to them, too,
say: Do you offer INSULTS Then you are
afraid interruption from the Left.) And
seeing, in spite of all your accumulated efforts
the principal object of the thoughts of the
world. you find no other means than interrup-
tions left to prevent you from fulfilling the
duty of admiration. Let iDcredulity multiply
its conquests, bat in this age in which free
thought proclaims its sovereign empire, be-
bold one man amongst all who draws to him
self the minds, who sgitates the opinions, and
occupies the public deliberations and the
Pope! VINO is this, then, that bears at once
the natural and the divine stampf It is the
head of the Church, it is the Church, it is the
society of souls, because the Pope 10 the neces-
sary bond of all those who belong to tho Cath
olio Church.
Now, all that belongs to the dominion of the
soul is inviolable aud sacred, and whose attacks
it finds himself face to face with formidable
resistance. The Pope belongs to this order of
spiritual things, and who 80 threatens his
liberty threatens the liberty Of our oonscien-
ces. Representative on earth of the God whom
we adore, appointed by Him to govern the
Church, whose sous We are, he has in the
world mission which no ono oan take from
him, because he has rot received it from men.
But he can not exercise this miSSion unless he
is free and behold here the reason why, when
his voice is raised against the obstacles, every
day more numerous, placed in the way of hia
spiritual authority, the whole world is moved.
The Pope attacked in his liberty is the human
conscience threatened with slavery. And be-
hold why, when the Pope laments In the face
of the world, the chains that fetter his inde-
pendenoe, behold why the Catholic conscience
has replied with a cry of alright and sorrow,
and the Minister of the Interior (Jules Simon)
will not be able to stop its echo with his asser-
tions of the full liberty of the sovereign
Pontif.

RECLAMAT1oN OF TIE SAHARA.

To the Editor of the Scientific American:
Your article in the Scientific american of May
18th (republished in the MoRNING STAR of May
2Oth), entitled Glands below the Ocean Level, !"
presents q statistical discussion of present and
future results of converting the great Sahara
Desert into an inland sea, by. connecting it
with the ocean. The conclusion that the ex-
piration of 100 years would be sufficient to
convert the great desert of sand into o desert
of salt is doubtless correct, on the supposition
of communication having water discharge
equal to 525 times that of the German Rhine.
But the construction of such Q channel is
practically impossible. A channel conveying,
say, ten times the volume of the Rhine might,
however, be possible; and from it entirely diff
ferent results would probably ensue. The
quantity of water delivered by such chsnpel
would cover 10 525 of the area of the desert,
or about 10000 square miles. Almost imme-
diately upon the admission of water to the arid
plain climatic changes would ensne, reducing
the temperature and the rate of evaporation.
As the formation of the new sea progressed,
it's surface and shores wOnld become the recipi-
enta of the gentle shower and the driving
storm. These causes Would continue to operate
with increasing force as the eea augmented in
Si4o. II We suppose evaporation 20 % reduced

Il REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

THE POLICY OF THE TWO PARTIES AS OUTLINED

The signs multiply that both parties will

friends may be taken 40 the arst unofficial
suggestion of . possible Democratic policy.
Evarts spoke for free ships, which should
South American trade, which will make ships
necessary. The letter is Eot-and this may be
stated authoritatively-A step towards the
subsidies, which Mr.. Randall has unformslly
opposed, as has been already charged by o
prominent Republican organ. The letter looks
to such changes in the tariff aud such alters-
tions in the general course of legislation upon
Farther than this in the development, in Mr..
RandalFs opinion, of party policy it would
not be safe at present to go. IL is the opinion,
however, of those who are in the best position
20 know the sentiments of the manufact 1ring
districts of Pennsylvania that q strong and
probably predominant sentiment exists there
in favor of legislation to secure a market-leg-
islation to protect manufacturers. Pig iron
was lnstanced in a conversation recently with
prominent Pennsylvania Congressman as
single protected industry which, with or with
ont tariff could be produced more cheaply at
home than abroad, SO that Pennsylvania pigs
if the tariff were removed, could be sold as
cheaply in foreign port as pigs from any
foreign furnace. Coal ard all the coarser
varieties of iron are both, it is claimed by
men hitherto strong for extreme protection,
productions whose supply exceeds the demand.
1t is W wiser, they say, to seek market for them
abroad than to continue the present plan of
stimulating market at home, already over
supplied and overstocked. The response to a
sentiment of this nature, already felt by Rep
reseutatives and likely to increase rather than
diminish, will probably have an important
influence on the September platform, as well
as upon the organic alton of the next House.
No one talks of free trade, but such legislation
as will make some trade possible is very seri-
ousy talked about, and most of all by Repre-
sentstives of the experience and influence of
Speaker Randall.

THE UNITED STATES and SOUTH AME
RICAN TRADE.
A LITTLE INTELLIGENT ENERGY NEEDED.

The United States are fitted to occupy the
leading position in the trade with South Ame-
RIGA both by nature and the energy and inven- =
tive genius of the people. South America pro-
duces only fraction of the amount of the
necessaries of life which her people consume.
She finds profitable employment for her people
in raising purely tropical products, cotton,
coffee, India rub bber, etc. and for generations to
come there will be little or no temptation for
her to employ them in anything except those
occupations. South America accordingly does
now and will for years go abroad to buy the
greater part of her food, clothing, furniture
building materials, etc, which she would
rather bay than produce. All these things, or
nearly all. can now be bought in the United
States as cheaply as anywhere in the world i;
but American merchants have simply neglect
ed the market, and the consequence is that
nine-tenths of what the South Americans i'm
port is shipped TO them by Europe from points
1000 to 5000 miles further away from them than
the ports of the United States. Here is an
illustration of the inferior position occupied at
present by this country in that immense and
profitable trade. No figures can be obtained
later than 1874. In 1874 the United States,
England and France sold to South American
countries the following amounts of goods (the
figures for England and France being for the
calendar year,:

amount France alone has contributed O3S 724

than twice as much as has been given by all
the other countries in the world pat together.

A corrected statement, prepared by the b.
reau of Statistics, shows the exports and i'm
ports of the United States for the ten months
ending April 30, 1877. to have been as follows:
Domestic products exported 10 C43
Foreign goods re expOI ted ......-.... 10 96i $40
Coin and bullion expoI ted. .. ......- 35 255.sI2
ImpoI ts including coin an bullion 39596 35l
Excess of exports imports esq, 703
Compared with the corresponding period of
1876, the exhibit, on the score of economy, is
quite hattering. For the same ten months of
last year the balance of trade in favor of the
United States amounted to 800 O6s 567 against
$l54, ,O52 733 in 1877, showing gain in favor of
1877 of $63,9e4 157. For the ten months end
ing April 80, 1876, the exports of coin and bull
lion amounted to $41, ,0s2. .512, and the imports
to $13, ,977, sol, leaving q balance against the
United States Of $27, ,lO5. oil. The exports and
imports of coin and bullion for the ten months
of the present fiscal year are a. follows: Ex.
