MAKING THE SAHARA BLOOM.
A Refutation OF Some Popular Mistakes
About the Great Desert.

1t is only recently that popular mis-
conceptions about the Sahara desert
have begun to be corrected, says
Goldthwaite's Geographical Magazine.
There was wide belief once that
Sahara was an immense zone OF sand
lying largely below the level Of the
sea. The fact is that in only few
places is the Sahara depressed below
the sea level. It, elevation on an
average is fully 800 feet above the
sea. This erroneous notion had led TO
the projects which in The light of our
present information are quite ridicu-
lous A few years ago it was proposed
by Englishmen TO cut a canal from
the northwest corner of Africa to lead
the Atlantic ocean into the desert.
The idea was that thus a great inland
sea would be created and ships from
Europe would steam into the interior
of Africa, touching at ports along the
rich Soudan, the southern boundary
OF the desert OF course the altitude
of the Sahara entirely disposes OF this
fine scheme.
Count De LesseHs did much to bring
another futile project into public no.
tee. 1t was Commonder Roudaire's
SCENE to cut a canal from the Gulf Of
Gabes, on the southeast coast of Tunis.
To the salt lakes or Chotts a short way
inland. which are known to occupy a
large depression below the level of the
sea. He thought there was nothing to
do but dig canal in the sand and
make great inland lake. whose in
iluence he believed would restore TO
fertility great region around it
Much money and labor were invested
in the project. but further geological
studies have shown that il would cost
enormously and that its results were
not likely to be valuable. The Isthmus
of Gabes. through which Roudaire pro-
posed to dig bis canal is not mere
sand bank as he thought but is wide
band OF rock between the sea and the
basin of the salt lakes which he in
tended to reach. All the money invest
ed in this wild enterprise was thrown
away.
hoNloaA va liit pltt
taught in school books. WAS that il is
little else than a great sandy waste.
The fact is that only about one-siXth
of its area consists OF dunes OF moving
sand Some OF these are difficult and
dangerous TO traverse. but they are
not entirely destitute of vegetation.
The sand is chiefly produced by wind
action on the rocks and is not sterile in
itself IL is only the lack of water
that makes il so. Wherever water ey-
lists or artesian wells are sunk. GASES
of great fertility never fail to follow.
A great deal Of territory has recently
been reclaimed i'll the southern part of
Algeria by digging artesian wells, and
hundreds of thousands of fig trees now
bear fruit where a few years ago all
was desolation.

HE WASN'T DEAF.
The Pre- c amen. of a Hostess Who Pre-
sumrd to Much


1t is never wise to presume upon the
misfortunes o. others. and many a per-
son has come TO grief by saying things
which he did not wish overheard by
the very ears which have been most
quick to catch them. The only safe
rule, says the Boston Courier, is not TO
say things which one would not be
willing that everyone present should
understand
A gentleman who has been afflicted
with deafness returned home from n
visit to the city. and soon after went
to call on lady Of his acquaintance.
He found her al home. and with her n
cousin of hers who was paying her a
visit. The hostess received him with
politeness and introduced him to her
cousin. but To the introduction she
added. in perfectly audible tone:
Hes good man enough; but he's
terribly stupid and As deaf as post >
The gentleman changed color little
Il may be stupid" he said. bat L
am no longer as deaf as a post. for L
have been cured during my absence.
and | can hear as well as anybody"
II is needless to say that the call
was rather awkward after this opening.

CO-EDUCATION.
Something OF the Life Of u Girl at a Boys
College.

The girl who goes to the University
OF Michigan to-day. just as when l EN-
tered there in 1872, finds her own
boarding place in one of the quiet
homes of the pleasant little city whose
interest centres in the 9 500 students
scattered within its borders. She
makes the business arrangements for
her winters fuel and its storage; she
finds her washerwoman or her laun-
dry; she arranges her own hours of
exercise, OF study and of sleep; she
chooses her own society. clubs and
church. The advice she gets comes
from another girl student of sophomo-
rio dignity who chances TO be In the
sams house. or possibly from still
more advanced young woman whom
she met on the journey. or sat near in
church on her first Sunday. Strong is
the comradeship among these ambi-
tious girls, who nurse one another in
Illness admonish one another in
health. and rival one another in study
only less eagerly than they all rival
the boys. IN my tims in college the
little Group Of girls, suddenly intro
! duced in the army of young men, felt
that the fate Of our sex hung upon
proving that lady Greek" involved
the accents. and that women's minds
were particularly absorptive of the
calculus and metaphysics. And still
in those sections where. with growing
experience the anxieties about co-edu-
cation have been allayed a healthy
AMI hearty relationship and honest
rivalry between young men and wom-
en- exists. Il is a stimulating atmos-
phere and develops in good stock a
strength and Independent balance
which tell in after-life. Mrs Alice
