THE POLAR SEA.
When the advancing warmth has un-
locked the polar snow and let the water
find it's way, aerially and otherwise, to the
equator, strange lines begin to make their
appearance athwart this desert. Two of the
most conspicuous of them start from the
middle of the southern side of the desert
and run divergingly-the one a little to the
east, the other a little to the west of north
down to the Nilosyrtis. Il
The eastward one is the Prison; the west
ward the Euphrates.
In this singleness of look and intent each
continues until about the LIST of August,

show where one showed before-two lines

Now, these hicks are more conspicuous

although when not well seen the canals
are more easily detected, as long blurs,
because of their length.
Furthermore, they make their appear
