Desert Shells

l
 s. P. R. R., has presented to the l California Acadamy of Sciences
 some specimens of marine shells
 and fossils. In presenting them
 he made a few remarks in which
 he is reported to have stated that
 they were found at a point 250 feet
 below the level of the sea. This
 point was probably somewhere
 between Yuma or Ehrenberg and
 the San Gorgonio Pass and on some of the routes surveyed by
 the R. R. engineers. If the fig
 ures attributed to Col. Gray are correct, and we assume they are, that point, so far below the sea
 level, is about 370 feet below the Colorado River here. If Dr.
 Wozencraft's project should be
 realized, of turning our river into the Desert, it wonld take all the
 snow that falls on the Colorado watershed to fill this deep basin up. Instead of trying to convert it into a fresh.Water lake, we should suggest rivalling the pro- ject of letting the Mediterranean Sea on to the Sahara Desert of Africa, by turning in here the waters of the Gulf of California. It is true this would upset all the irrigation schemes and give us a great body of salt water, instead of fertile meadows; but that water would be to some extent naviga-
 ble, its constant evaporation would promote rainfall and consequent vegetation; instead of fertile fields being formed at the bottom of the depression by irrigation, they would soon be found all around
 the slopes leading to it, and be supplied with moisture from nat.
 ural sources. The general impress sion is that the desert is barren and deficient in all the elements of fertility. This is wrong, as we expect to show in our next num- Der on "Desert Growths," land Col. Gray's desert shells will be referred to, to prove our theories. A most surprising feature in the occurrence of shells on the desert is, that mingled with great quan- titles of true marine shells, are found immense numbers of those easily recognized as belonging only to fresh water; these latter,
 though more fragile, are generally in better state of preservation, and apparently of much more re- cent date. It would have been of much interest to have had an explanation of this peculiarity
 worked out by scientific mind, like that of Col. Gray. Failing that, the SENTINEL suggests that
 by sOrne upheaval near the coast,
 or by the deposit of mud and
 silt from the Colorado River, large bodies of salt water covering what is now the desert part of San
 Diego County, were cut off from
 the Gulf of California, forming inland lakes inhabited by marine animals and shell-fish. In course of time the soda and potash Of the
 salt water night have combined with the sands of it's bottom, form. ing silicates and setting the ga- seous acids free; the water thus gradually becoming fresh enough to sustain freSh-Water animals, and too much so to longer maln-
 tain its original inhabitants. The bottom of these lakes being so much lower than the Colorado, any overflow of the River would have supplied them with fresh
 water animals and with the float
