One of the problems which has given
the management of Suez canal much
trouble is that of the sand which blows
into it, adding to the dredging eXpens-

have been tried in the effort to fix the
sands so that a comparatively small
quantity would be blown into the ca
nal. All of these plants have failed
except one, which, it is now believed,
will be quite effective in keeping the
sand in place. This large plant is the
casuarina tree. 1t thrives in the south
ern hemisphere, and grows we'll on
the sand banks that skirt the Suez
canal 1t not only survives intense
drought, but also excessive humidity,
which is important. as the northern
part of the canal is subject to inun-

of this tree penetrate the sand so deep
ly that they tap subterranean sources
of water. Many of the trees planted
twenty-five years ago have thrived SO

are now over forty feet in height All
