1t is said that the "inland sea-" which
NJ. de Lesseps has gone to establish In
the Desert of Sahara, will be fifteen
times as large as the Lake of Geneva.
The moisture engendered by its pres
ence will bring vast tracts of desert land
into cultivation, and an approach to val
liable forests, now wholly inaccessible,
will be facilitated. Exclusive rights

pensate the company which undertakes
to %excavate the connecting channel. The

to prove that animals reason: zone
day the cat and parrot had a quarrel. I
think the cat had upset Polly's food, or
something of that kind; however they
seemed all right again. An hour or so
after, Polly was standing on the edge of
the table; she called out, in a tone of
deep affection, "Puss, puss, come then,
come then, pussy" Pussy went, and
looked up innocently enough. Polly

the basin and half drowned the
