In spite of its dryhess. according
to Professor Johannes Walther, tho
African desert is by no means free
from the changes produced by denuda-

siderable effect The changes in tenn

The daily range may be GO degrees
Fahrenheit, while the annual range
may be not less than 1875 degrees; and
the contraction and expansion due TO
these variations is constantly splitting
