THE DESERT TO BLOOM

The ready finding OF water in the
Soudanese desert, through the sinking
of wells by the British engineers who
r constructing a railway along the
Nile, shows that, over immense regions
in Africa, Arab fatalism. inertia n
iLcapacity for progress have been the
real obstacles in the way Of making
the countary frr,itful. The possibility
OF producing water by digging other
wells than those which were dug in the
time Of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmaei'
seems hardly 10 have occurred to them.
Now the water is shown to be readily
accessible, the natives (other than
Arabsl viii doubtless multiply Wells.
cultivate tracts and villages and me
so-called desert will be gradually
redeemed to the use OF man. The
Arabs persist in believing that the
water SO found must be from a subteT-
ranean passage to the Nile.
