D-scrs.
New YORK, July 24th.-The 7ri-
bune to-day, regarding the scheme
which is attracting attention in
Paris for a railway from Algeria
across Sahara to Tlmbuctoo, says:
The projectors are two eminent en-
gineers, Duponchel and Baron
Bande. They claim that a route
exists over solid ground for the
whole of the distance, except forty
miles, over which it would be nec-
essary to erect timber tunnel,
like the snow-sheds along the Cen
tral Pacific, to keep the shifting
sands OF the desert off the track.
The estimated cost is eighty mi =
lions. 1t is claimed that the val
lpys of the Higer and Basin of Lake
Tschad are surprisingly fertile. A

Pacific road, in running for great
part of the length through an arid
region, affording no traffic, but in
stead of reaching at its terminus o
large civilized community, with a
world wide commerce, would find
only a teeming horde of barbarous
blacks who would have to adopt
new modes of life before they could
produce surplus of agricultural
products for the road to transport.
