II THE SAHARA IS FLOODED, WHAT?
The only important objection which
has thus far been urged against the un-
dertakIng has arisen in the aPPrehen-
sions expressed by a few scientists that
The evaporation produced by 30 large
and so shallow body OF water, exposed
10 the tropical sun, would be sufficient
to deluge Northern Europe with inces-
SAINT rains, and to reduce materially the
temperature in all countries north OF
the Alps. II has even been feared that
winds freighied with moisture on cross
ING the cold SUBMITS Of the Alps, would
give Denmark and Northern Germany
semi-Arctic climate and produce a gla-
cial epoch farther north. Is 1t not
probable that all such apprehensIons
arise out Of a Misunderstanding Is TO
the Typography Of the Sahara and
North Airicas The entire region TO
be flooded is practically shut in by
mountain chains on sll sides. The
Atlas Mountains on the north, lit
ing their snow-clad peaks IN some In-
stances 1900 feet, afford a sufficient

BILE northerIy outlet for air Currents
from FL Juf would be across Tunis IN =
north-easterly direction over the VIE

rents moving in that direction, II they
reached Europe at all, would touch the
shores OF Greece after they had lost
most Of their humidity. NJ. dc Les
seps, after a careful examination Of the
question, Is convinced that IL would re-
suit in a general improvement Of the
climate Of Europe. rather than to its de-
triment. The advantage OF the an

Indeed, one fllh the deaths IN this

the class Of Zym0iic diseases not spon@

size CT the desert below the level Of the
ocean Is stated a. 500 TO 75O feet; the
area in square miles is over 1000, :
600; the average depth is not general

no doubt would, be thrown of its pres

waters TO a certain extent would be
changed in their level, which could be
ascertained with certainty if the actual
sizes and depth could be known; for
''if every grain OF sand removed alters

this great change do! II might cause
