FARMING on A DESERT.
Forty-Three Fertile Spots on the
SnhaPn sands

sahara Sands.
Philadelphia Records The desert OF Sa-
hara is the last place to which We would
look for any important development OF
agriculture, yet the French have deN ell
oped in the oasis OF this desert most Inn
portant agricultural resources.
II has long been known that the few
spots wehere the Arabs have been able
TO cultivate the ground by using the little
water available from the few springs,
leading 1t with great labor and skill so as
10 utilize II In irrigating the arid ground,
they have produced results which have
been deemed incredible. The French have
brought science to their aid, and by the
use OF artesian wells have produced
water In abundance. The date palm Is
natural to this country and In Tunis
alone II is estimated that there are 13.500,-
600 palm trees. The natives consume
arge quantities, being their principal arti-
Gle of food, yet Tunis exports 81, ,56S, 600
worth of dates every year. besides ba-
nanas, figs, pomgranites, oranges, LEM
ons, almonds, apricots and even grapes.
Not only this, but grain IL raised, Indian
corn, sorghum, millet, hemp, tomatoes,
peppers, melons, cucumbers and a host
of other things. The French founded a
society called the "Oued Rhir," I'm 1875,
and In ten years they owned 43 oasis,
with ia colonies the produce from which
was valued at $500,000 yearly. Since then
several other societies have been formed,
and all give the most favorable reports
of their progress and work. The prom
ise of prophecy, that In the last days
the desert shall blossom as the rose"
seems about to be realized.

taken. Mr.. Hallyburton was
doorkeeper in the Senate dur
ing the session Of '97 and testi-
fed that passes were issued to
him from Raleigh to Morgan

Washington. Mr., Huffman
testified that he got passes for
the same trlpS CnrOugn MI.

the week. The railroad was
represented by Messrs. Geo.
