chief is Biskra. which has not less
than 10000 pslms. and from which
come large quantities OF dates. The
French Sahara covers l23,500 square

barred windows and closed doors lie
the two secrets Of this strange country
women. and native wealth."
The palanquins upon camels' backs
for women. are made of branches bent
by the heat Of fire. and covered with
colOred cloths. partly to protect from
the heat Of the sum-, and partly to
prevent the inmate from being seen.
The camel Is n most stately
creature. and il is difficult to
know what the Arab would dc
without this great burden bearer. The
ordinary camel costs from $50 to $50.
1t can carry 600 pounds. This is lust
the beast OF burden. But there is an
other kind Of camel called the mehari,
which Is very swift of foot and can
do from 125 to 1870 miles in a single
stage. The value of these is about 5000
apiece.
The chief occupation of Arabs. ia
the casual visitor. seems to be that of
drinking coffee. Cafes arc as numer-
uos as barrooms in Chicago, and there,
fer the fraction OF a cent. the Arab has
all the benefits of a club. Each por-
ton Of coffee is boiled In a little tin
saucepan with a long h%andle-just
large enough to contain one portion.
At night especiallythe cafes are crowd
| ed to excess. Some OF the poore
Arabs sleep In the cafes all night, Jus
where they have been sitting all the
evening. Such a liberty is included in
the price OF coffee.
