SAHARA.
one-Fifth of the Whole African
Continent is Desert.

Continent is Desert.
McClure's Magazine.
The desert area OF Africa is estim-
ated by Mr.. Ravenstein at over
2,250,0O0 square miles, Of which all
but small fraction is contained
in the tract of land popularity
known as the Sahara. Except for
some school children who know
better, and school teachers who are
instrumental in their being so, the
miscOnCeptiou of the Sahara, which
is widespread, would be practical
ly universal. The average man
pictures the Sahara as vast sea
of sand, for the most part below
sea level, across which the camel
speeds before the poison blast OF
the simeon from oasis to oasis.
Schemes for flooding the Sahara
have come before the public, &C.
casionally, and we have read &C.
counts of the vast inland sea
which might be formed, rivaling
the Mediterranean in size, giving
southern sea coast to Morocco and
Algeria, and admitting steamers
directly to the wealthy states Of
the Soudan.
The Sahara as known to the geo.
grapher corresponds badly with
this conception for in fact, there
is no risk for the "ship Of the des-
ert" ever being supplanted by the
ships of the sea. Few parts are be-
low sea level and they are small
and scattered. In the interior
the desert is plain high above
the level OF the sea covered with
vast dunes of red sand lin many
parts; in others it is an elevated
plateau with lofty mountain
ran ges Of bare rocks intersected by
stony valleys. 1t is arid, save
where a spring bubbles up and
gives rise to small oasis Of grass
and palm trees. The Sahara proper
is unknown except for few trade
routes regularly traversed by the
Arabs, and occasionally by adj
venturous Europeans. These utilize
the oasis as a resting place; step
ping stones, as it were, and keep
up communication between the
wealthy Mohammedan states
round Lake Chad in the south, and
Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers or Morocco
on the Mediterranean. Between
the trade routes all is a bank Of
sand or barren rock.
Exploration is only possible
when water as we'll as food can be
carried, and this condition has
practically stopped all attempts at
discovery for the present on &C
count of the great expense and the
purely scientific nature OF the pos
sible return. A railway running
from the French possessions on the
Mediterranean across the desert to
Timbuktu, the scared y known
trade center near the Niger, is
talked Of. Such a line may be
constructed in the future. but the
difficulties are enormous, much
greater than those overcome by
the Russians in the Transcaspian
line through the deserts of Central
Asia.

read as follows:
GRACE DANGERFIELD' s STORY.
The secrets and sorrows of my lifo l

something l shrink from as from death,
but to remain silent now would be to

chant in Havana, but when l was II
years of age he became hopelessly in
volved in debt, and ruin was inevitable.
One Of his largest creditors was man
of the name of Eugenio Sanchez, mer-
chant who had been a frequent guest at
my fathers house. He was man of
about 80, tall and dark and of winning
manners, yet there was something about |
him that impressed me unfavorably.
One evening my father called me to
him and told me that Eugenio Sanchez
had proposed for my hand in marriage, !
and unless l consented to become his
wife we should be speedily turned out
of doors as beggars. Don Eugenio, he
said, would provide me with all the
luxuries wealth could afford; that I
must accept hint was our only
chance to avert ruin.

CHAPTER v.

The contents Of the manuscript l had
just read impressed me strangely. Sure
ly the young artists experiences had
been as strange as they were romantic.
The object of his visit to Darkwood
Hall on that fatal night was fully ex-
planned, yet the revelation he had made
only served to deepen the veil of mys-
terry that enshrouded the fair young
mistress of the hall. Had she really
committed the murder? No. could
not believe her capable of crime, yet
had she not confessed to it in the open
court?
As reflected over the matter the find
ing of the human finger in the murdered
man valise and my subsequent discov
cry that corresponding member was
missing from the self accused's hand
came forcibly to my mind.
AS soon as had finished reading the
manuscript went to visit the young
artist in his cell at the Jail. He was
strangely moody and had little to say.
Presently his manner changed.
You have read the manuscript I
gave youi" he asked.
Yes" l replied.
Can you believe that she ever COM
mitted the murder"
Il cannot. There is great mistake
"a great mystery somewhere.

The Gas Was Turned On.

In auditing the bills against the city
last month the committee on city lights
came across one from the Gaslight Com
pany for considerable amount for light
ing the city government rooms. The COM
mittee thought there must be an error
in the bill, as they were not aware that
any gas had been used in lighting the
City Council rooms, and.so refused to
approve. the bill until they could make
further in 7estigatioD. When the Gas
Company collector called at the auditor S
office this bill was shown him, and he
was informed of the action of the COM

cred that the gas.had been turned off
from the building The gas Office was
communicated with by telephone and
asked if it would not order the gas
turned on. The reply was . in effect that
the gas would be turned on when the
bill that the committee had laid aside
was paid. Later the President sFof the

that the gas be turned Oh, irrespective

Last night officers Norton and Ball
were told that a young a woman had
been seen to enter the laundry of Wing
Sing at No. 90 Free street. Search by
the officers resulted in the discovery of
two opium layouts, which were seized,
but no trace of the girl could be found,
until the officers opened large refriger-
ator in one of the rear rooms. Inside
they found the young woman, who is
about 10 years old. She was arrested, as
were also two Cinnamon, Chin Yung and
Chin Hing. The police are of the opin-
ion that these two Cinnamon will be able
to show they are innocent of any wrong
doing in connection with the affair, al
though one of them was found in the
place by the officers. The opium lay
outs consisted of pipes, bowls and all
the paraphernalia used in smoking the

and harness worth SO. from the stable
