l. The existing desert is ''a great
radiator of heat, many times greater
in fact than the Gulf Stream. 1t OPP
crates, like that oceanic current, to
force the ''thermal equator" north
ward, and to change it as proposed
would effect the mean temperature of
all Europe, and might seriously modify
its era of civilization.
2. The desert acts "as a great
aerial sponge" absorbing atmospheric
moisture over wide and rainless re-
gion, ard thus ameliorating the eli
mate of a large portion of the Eastern
hemisphere.
3. This vast sand plain acts rs a
''storm barrier, arresting and break
ing up the tornadoes on their way
from the tropics to devastate Europe.
1t Is a mistake to suppose these de-
structive winds to be generated amid
the solitudes of the desert. The cause
Of the simeon, which often takes on
the alarming form Of a hinge sand
spout, is the fact that when tornado
strikes the desert it begins at once to
lap up the PARTICLES of Sand, until it
has thus gathered into itself thousands
of tons which finally load it down be-
yond its carrying power, AMI it falls
with its burden aud finds its fury
spent.
4. The sands of Sahara act as a
great absorbent of malaria thus
preventing the fatal maladies of Afri-
ca from invading Europe. The desert
is known to be absolutely free from
malaria. for the good reason that it
contains nothing to produce it. The
equatorial regions south of the desert
breed the most dreadful diseases
known on the globe. Substitute an
inland sea for the waste of sand, and
the pestiiential winds would sweep
more swiftly across to precipitate
their plague-germs on the population
of Europe

along the east side of the river

at the back of it, is hard to find out,

The prouosed Sea of Sahara,

No doubt each teacher in the counr
ty has seen at one time or another
some mention made of the project of
turning the Desert of Sahara into a
great inland sea, and the query arose
in his mind, "What would probably
be the results of such an undertaking
if it were successfully accomplished
Is it not we'll for us as teachers to in.
terest ourselvej in questions that are
so wide in extent and influence, and
would it not be we'll to take them in
to our school-room and thus get our
pupils interested in what is going on
outside of their own little home circlet
With this in view we shall give in
this issue and the next of the JOURNAL
an article from the Scientific Ameri-
can that bears on this subject.
1.-The project for inundating the
Desert of Sahara, and thus changing
it into new oceanic empire, is the
| most astonishing of all the gigantic
enterprises of the age. We are in
clined to favor it BECAUSE OF its very
boldness and grandeur. Since it was
| first brought out in 1877, by NJ. De-
Lesseps in the French Academy of Sci
| ences, scarcely word has been spok-
en- against it, although its originator adj
mits that its execution will require
the service of an army of at least 100,
900 workmen, and an outlay of not less
than $30, 900.
a reasonable protest has at last APP
peared from the pen of Mr.. X. W.
| Wright, published in the New Haven
journal and Courier" the main
points of which are worth considering.
Conceding that NJ. De Lesseps is to be
| recognized as great and successful
civil engineer, it is denied that he is
wise enough to tell whether half a
continent had better be submerged,
and the climate of the globe material
Iy changed. The mere fact that the
daring French engineer succeeded in
cutting the Suez Canal, thus making
valuable commercial highway, does
not prove that he had better flood the
African desert. He has demonstrated
the possibility of digging a canal
through Tunis from the Mediterranean
Sea, but he has failed to give any reli-
able topography of the vast desert
that is to be thus changed into an in
land sea, nor has he suitably inform
ed us what compromising advantages
the civilized world is TO gain in place
of certain positive Dement'S accruing
] from the existing state of things.

The County Fair.

Turn OUT to the county fair this
week one and all, and help make it
a success. Bring your neighbors and
your neighbours children. Bring your
mammoth pumpkins, your horses,
hogs, and cattle, and don't forget your
wife and the baby. After two
months toll uninterrupted by rain
storms you can surely afford to squan-
der one day of your valuable time to
patronize an institution that is gotten
up for your benefit. You need that
special day for recreation, and social
intercourse with your neighbors.
You can't afford to stay away, as the
rest you will get, and the pleasure you
will experience will probably prolong
your life, and round off the angularl-
ties of your disposition. Don't squeal
if you don't get premiums on ~ this
articles that you exhibit. Of course
your articles are better than those
which will gain the approval of the
committee, but the judges Will nave
friends among the other exhibitors
whom they will wish to please. Never
theless you will have the proud con-
seriousness that youhave helped to make
the fair successful and that should be
| reward enough even though you may
not realize pecuniarily. Don't call
the thing a fraud if the time made on
the race track is a little slow, the in
stitution was designed as fair, not
.'hoss-trot." Don't yociferously de-
! clare that yon saw more from the
gateway of the Minneapolis fair than
you witnessed in the whole exhibition
at Prescott. OF course people will in
| fer from this declaration that you
have travelled some, ana know q thing
or two. but they won't love you any
more than they would If you kept
YOUR mouth shut and said nothing.
BE social, genial, and pleasant to ev-
erybodv. and especially TO the chill
dren. Enjoy yourself and try to make
everybody else do the same.
