master of the house seated himself in

GASES BLOSSOM AGAIN.

The Mussulman sect known as the
Senousians has for years been digging
wells, irrigating the land, and turning
many hundreds of barren acres into
gardens. Twenty-four years ago it
planted its headquarters in the desert,
near the western border of Egypt,
built reservoirs, began plantations,
erected converts, and now a popula-
ton of eight thousand people live at
Jarabub, where the soil has been re-
stored to fertility by their Iabors.-
There are large areas in the Sahara
that need only rain or irrigation to
cover them with verdure. Through
these regions pass the caravan routes,
along which the fifty thousand camels
engaged in the Saharan commerce
bear their burdens
Mr.. Anderson, the civil engineer
who last year completed sixteen years
of explorations in South Africa, be-
tween the Orange and Lambesi rivers,
says that the rain that falls for q few
weeks every year in the great region
known as the Kalahara desert covers
the blackened, verdureless plain with
splendid vegetation. Game is abund-
ant there, especially lions, leopards
and ostriches, and he has counted in
