RENAKING THE EARTH.
Changes That Are Easily Within the
Range of Human Effort.

Range of Human Effort.
From the London Daily Mail.
Few people realize how completely of late
years the surface aspect of this weakened
old globe of ours has been altered and i'm
proved. The world Of today. in fact. differs
from the world of our ancestors much as
society lady, in all the glory of fold and
frill and furbelow, differs from her savage
sister running wild in pestilential woods.
AS art has transformed the one. so it has
the other.
the earth, IL not exactly beautiful for
ever at least a pleasant and healthful
place wherein to dwell. is no charlatan with
a dray load of cosmetic and a glib tongue.
but civil engineer. owning nothing more
harmless than a few notwithstanding
instruments and a measuring tape.
And the marvel Of 1t all is this-that what
has been done is but an infinitesimal frac
ton of that which may. and doubtless will.
be done. Who can doubt, for instance, that
the great Sahara desert will one day be but
a memory? 1t was an inland sea once. 1t
would not be very difficult matter to con-
vert it into one again. A canal, sixty miles
long. connecting with the Atlantic the vast
depression which runs close on to the coast
nearly midway between the twentieth and
thirtieth parallels Of latitude, would do the
business beautifully. The water would not
of course. cover the entire surface of the
desert. Here and there are portions lying
above the sea level. These would become
the islands of the new Sahara ocean.
What would be the results that would
ensue upon this stupendous TRANSFORMED
ton? Some would be good and some bad
Among the latter may be mentioned the
probable destruction of the vineyards of
southern Europe, which depend for their
existence upon the warm, dry winds from
the great African desert. AS some COM
pensation for this, however, the mercantile
marines of the GAtions affected would be
enabled to gain i9mediate and easy access
to vast regions now given over to barbar-
ism. and series of more or less flourish
ing seaport towns would spring UP all along
the southern borders of Morocco and Al
geria, where the western watershed Of the
Nile sinks into the desert. and on the
northern frontier of the Congo Free State
In similar manner the greater portion
of the central Australian desert, covering
an area of fully a million square miles,
might be flooded. The island contine Mt
would then be reconverted into gigantic
atoll. and would resemble, roughly. an oval
DISH of which the depressed central por-
ton would be covered with water ant OILY
the rim inhabited. In this connection
it may be interesting to note that a cein-
pany has actually been formed for s,.b-
merging the Yuma desert in southern Cali
