From knowledge.
Only one degree less incorrect than the
idea of their submarine origin is the no.
ton that deserts consist Of unbroken tracts
of sand. 1t is true thai such tracts in GER
tain districts may extend on every side
as far as the eye can reach, and even much
farther; but, sooner or later, bridges aud
bands of pebbles, or of solid rock, Will
be met with cropping up among the sand,
while frequently, as in the Libyan Desert.
there are mountain ranges rising to a
hight of several thousand feet above the
level of the plain. And it is these exposed
rocks which form the source whence the
sand was and still is derived. Such noun
tains naturally attract what moisture
may remain in the air. and IN their valleys
are found more or less luXuriant vegeta-
ton. Gases, too, where the soil is more
or less clayey, occur In most deserts; and
Il IS in such spots that animal and yegeta-
BILE life attains the maximum development
possible in the heart of the desert. In tine
most arid and typical part Of the Li5yan
Desert the sand is blown into large dunes,
which are frequently hat-topped, and show
horizontal bands OF partly consolidated
rock; and between these are open valleys,
partly covered with sand, and partly COW
strewn with blocks of rock polished and
scored BY the sand blast, In such sand
wastes the Traveller may journey for days
Without seeing signs Of vegetation or hear

The locuiisation of the seismic phenomena
is remarkable, fully 30 per cent OF the
movements being confined within space
Of fifty-six miles in one direction, and
twenty-f five in another; and ono of the
noteworthy things is that the subterranean
roarings and rumblings are frequently
heard without any connections on ,he
earths crust. In some localities the noises
are similar 10 those of constant bomb;,rd-
ment. and II would seem that the town was
under siege. The recent serious shakes IN
The last half OF January were as Formidable
as when the disturbances first begun about
e year ago. Fortunately no loss of life
has been reported and nature appears 10
be slowly depressing the isihmus, aud one
theory now held here is that the sEa Will
rush in across Il narrow neck OF land and
give an open waterway between the Pa
cific and the Gulf of Mexico. This Is an
extreme orinion and is hardly worth .oa-
sidering. Tor up to the present time the
