AN AMERICAN SAHARA.

A Miniature Deseret That Exists in
the Nutmeg state-HOw a Yale Pro
lessor Accounts for 1T.
A New Haven, Com correspond
ent writes as follows to The New York
Times: A stylishly dressed, young
ish-looking man, with the air of a
Wall street broker and solitaire
diamond pin in his immaculate shirt
front that sparkIed liked big dew
drop IN the sun, swung himself off
the Boston limited express at the
Union depot this norning and asked
Tom Kennedy, the veteran of the
New Haven police force, which way
Wallingford park lay. Futher con-
versation revealed that the stranger
was in search OF Connecticut's Sahara,
and he was shown where to get team
to drive out to it. Four or five hours
later he drove into the city swearing
New York. Incidentally it was learn
ed that he had, several yeare ago, adj
vanced parties In that city 800, 900 or
more on an alleged fine farm of $50
acres in xWallingfOrd's park, the pic
tured garden spot OF rocky connect-
cut. Failing to get either interest or
principal, ne came up to look over the
property. He found it a trackless
waste of white sand, glistening under
blazing September sun. The only
improvements upon 1t were the tracks
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, which runs
through it.
This gentleman is only one Of many
New York capitalist who have been
vitimized by Connecticuts desert.
Thousands upon thusands of dollars
have been raised in New York city on
deeds OF farm land in Wallingford
park, and when the victims come to
look after their property, which usual
ly falls upon their hands, they find it
located somewhere in Connecticut's
sand plains, and worth less than
cent mile.
Connecticut's Sahara is a miniature
desert many thousand acres in extent
between the green to @nships of North
Haven and Wallingford. It is about
six miles wide and ten miles long from
north TO south-a dazzlingly white,
burning plain of sand in summer, and
dreary, trackleSs waste over which
the north winas riot IN winter. How
it came to be dropped in that fertile
part Of Connecticut has been asked
many times by the passengers who
have been whirled across it by rail.
Yale college saVants account for 1t IN
most satisfactory way. The farmers
up in that region shake their heads
when asked about 1t. They style it
