The Proposed Flooding 81 sahara.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
The project of conducting water by means of
canal, either from the Atlantic or the Mediter-
ranean, into the great African desert was first
suggested, we believe, by the celebrated De Les
seps. The proposition has given rise to some
interesting discussions in regard to the effects
sulting from the conversion of LIE, 900 square
miles Of sandy plain into a tropical sea- The
changes Of climate, the influence upon the
health Of the surrounding country. and even Of
southern Europe, etc, have been duly considered
by men Of science. Such discussions, however,
seem altogether premature The following pre-
liminary inquiries have natural precedence
First-In what time might the new sea be ex-
pected to attain an average depth of 100 feeta
Neglecting, for the present, all consideration of
evaporation and rainfall, it will be found that a
canal 100 feet wide and ten feet
deep, flowing at the rate of two
miles per hour, will require $500 years to
cover an area of one hundred and twenty five
thousand square miles to an average depth Of
one hundred feet; or canal with ten times this
capacity would require seven hundred and fifty
years for the same purpose
Second-But how would this result be modi-
fed by rainfall and eyaporationY
In the desert of Sahara rain is almost wholly
unknown What the annual amount Of eyap-
Grafton would be in that torrid region has not
yet been ascertained. The average at London
is thirty inches, and it would certainly be much
greater in the interior of Africa. The loss by
evaporation would therefore much exceed the
quantity of water introduced by any canal that
could probably be constructed. In short were the
basin of the Sahara now filled with water, it
would again be reduced, in few centuries at
most, to a condition as arid and desolate as the

A ST. LOUIS reporter has discovered that its
army Of music-teachers are cormorants who are
rapidly driving music-dealers to crime, and long
ago drove them to ask extortionate prices for
their wares by demandinga share Of their profits,
Every man or woman who contemplates buying
a musical instrument naturally goes first to a
teacher rather than dealer for advice, believ-
ing the former to be disinterested and unbiased.
The teacher advises the customer what to pur-
chase and whore to 60, and not infrequently
offers to conduct the purchase himself, on the
plea Of securing reduction in price. Whether
he does this or not, he hies himself to the dealer
and demands liberal commission in case the
sale is made. Fifty dollars is said to be the
usual amount called for on the sale of piano 1t
does not appear that the dealer suffers any great
loss insuch cases, as he simply adds the com
mission to the price he would otherwise have

letter Of Col R. NJ johnson, Of Goshen, in
reply to the committee of the Democratic
Editorial Association, which invited him to
respond to the toast 1.-THE Democratic soldier
the first to go to the field of battle and
the last to leave" In eloquent and fitting
words, Colonel johnson rebukes the bad taste
Of the sentiment and speaks Of the ''Union
soldier" not the Republican soldier nor the
Democratic soldier. The letter was not read
at the meeting by the gentleman to whom it
was addressed, and it is proper that it should
be given publicity through the press. The
document is creditable to the head and heart

asked, and the customer is the We
tim. It happens sometimes that
the salesman is unaware until after
the sale is made that any middle-man has had
any part in the negotiation, but he is compelled
to pay over the teachers share when called for
just the same. It is this uncertainty which him
ders him from throwing off any part of his own
hundred per cent. profit as he might otherwise

instruments than pianos the same plan is

fifty per cent less than others would pay at the
stores but the trusting pupils know nothing Of
this and thankfully pay their accommodating
instructors nearly the full price If the dealer
objects to this system of extortion he is at once
practically boycotted, all the teachers join
ing in quietly decrying his instruments and
urging customers to go elsewhere. The dealers
visited by the reporter were unanimous in re-

a Medical Fable.

A young doctor called at an Ohio street Office
yesterday, and asked couple Of oldtime prac-
titioners, remnants of the day when twenty
grains Of calomel and two grains of quinine was
the regulation malarial dose, and asked the usual
question as to how business was progressing.
The Oldest 0. t. p, took higher hold Of his arm
pits, and said: There is no business; between
the medical colleges and free dispensaries, on
one side, and the young doctors who practice for
nothing and furnish the medicine on the other,
the o. t. p. s are just hanging on by their eye
brows. think it would be q good plan 20 form
pool of the 200 doctors Of this city, select ten
good 0. t. s to do the practice, and let the bal
ance hire out for day laborers and once month
pool the mutual earnings His gray headed
compatriot thought it would be sgood plan to
behead all the doctors under forty years Of age"
The young doctor Immediately retired with a
classmate, and at once determined to form new
medical college in this city, to meet the urgent
demands of the medical profession throughout
the State for a higher standard of medical edu-
cation, and at once elected each other dean and
treasurer of the college, and appointed each 9th
er professors, with big P. of practice of medi-
cine and surgery respectively, and did not even
appoint the two old-time practitioners president
and secretary of the board of trustees Such is the
base ingratitude of the newly ledged medical
practitioner, and such his methods of advancing
himself in the noble profession of medicine.
