! Facts About Sahara.

DIR. LEM, in q recentslecture at Paris

generally received notions as, to the con-
dition Of the Sahara. 1t really forms d
great plateau. about 1, 100 feet sboYs
the, level of the Atlantic. In no part of
this plateau is there to be found that
depression below the level of the ocean
which is shown on the maps Of certain
geographers, and which has led to wild
schemes of converting the Sahara into
great inland sea. Moreover, the Sa-
hara is not one dead sandy level, but
really varied in its aspect Rocks are
succeeded. by sandy plains, here and
there are Gases covered with alfa grass,
and staSnant shallow sheets of water.
The fresh water fossils, which are met
with in many parts, show that the

A Border Hero.

Western towns are most often def.
cient in the, striking characteristics one
expects, but in the matter of typical
frontiersman Santa Fe possesses citi-
zen who might have sat for the pictures
of Bret Harte's and joaquin Miller s
dashing heroes. He came strolling into
the postofice the other morning, both
hands in his pockets and his elbows
sweeping a clear space between the
gathered idlers. As town celebrity
every one knows him, and the least
question will bring out more and more
piquant bits of history. With unusual
interest looked at the small man and
slowly took in the details of his COS
tune. Top boots, trousers, blue fan
mel shirt and loose coat were ordinary
enough, but his head was surmounted
with a gray sombrero that in width of
brim has never been equaled save by
the pretty chorus singers of Pinafore
and the Pirates. The hat sat back on
his head until the brim covered his
shoulders; and the cord and ornaments
OF the crown being of solid gold wire
and spangles brings the value OF this ex-
trayagant head gear up to Sl50. Neither
Annie and Georgette, Virot or the other
concoctors of French bonnets, ever sent
out spring novelty that equaled this
sombrero in price. He wore .a~care-
lessly knotted necktie and row Of big
gold nuggets for shirt studs. and below
them swung a watch chain composed of
gold coins ranging from the largest slugs
and $40 pieces down to .an Insignificant
$3.50 coin. The watch at the end Of
the chain is heavy enough to use for a
weapon, with its massive cases OF, gold,
This walking gold mine carries off all
his magniicenee with the most indifler-
ent and half-contemptuous air. On oc7
casions he is said to be capable of even
more gorgeousness; and when this
.show-fgure of Santa Fe is mounted on
a little, black horse, rattling with all the
silver and blazing with all the wrought
colors of Mexican trappings, it is enough
to dazzle one. With huge silver spurs,
an embroidered buckskin suit, a belt OF
silver-mounted weapons, and a fringed
and embroidered blanket strapped to
the saddle. he clotters through these
narrow streets quite as the Wild West
ern heroes do in novels. By profession
he is a gentleman, and amuses himself,
as the les. . literally "giided youth y of
Paris and London do, by chasing the
flying hours. and dull care over green
tables. Santa .Fe. Cor. st. Louis Globe.

The Rivals OF Steam.

Is steam to be superseded as power
for locomotion? Perhaps not in our
day; but there are signs Of such thing.
Without reference to mysterious "mo-
tors /" whose capacity is yet to be tested
there are now at least two forms of en-
gine that by practical test. can drive
cars on rails and which are considered
by the inventors, and by some scientific
men beside, to be better than engines
propelled by steam power. s'+s-
The compressed air system that has
already on one short line of railroad
been successfully applied in England is
to be adopted, we are told, on the new
rapid transit line at Staten Island. The
English experiment has been in sue
cessful trial for some time. But only
on last Thursday was the second form
of engine to which we have referred
and Of which the force is that of elec-
tricity, put in use, the place of trial be-
ing a line between two suburbs a few
miles out of Berlin. A speed of eigh-
teen miles an hour was attained, but it
is claimed that this can with safety be
greatly exceeded. A few years ago it
was declared, on high scientific author
ity, that it was and must remain inn
possible SO to employ electricity as TO
move railway or other carriages. But it
was not many years before chat again
that DIR. Lardner demonstrated the inn
possibility of crossing the Atlantic
Ocean by steam power-and himself
crossed from England to America in a
steamship not long afterward.
This is but one of many examples
that inculcate prudence in auguring the
limits of scientific possibility, and which
suggest how likely it is that those who
come after us will enjoy. facilities and
developments that look almost miracu-
lous in their improbability to ourselves.
