Of late years the surface aspect OF this

Ing nothing more harmful than a few
mysterious looking instruments and
measuring tape. And the marvel of 1t
all is this-that what has been lone
is but an infinitesimal fraction of that
which may, and doubtless WILL be
done. Who can doubt, for instance,
that the great Sahara desert-that
mole upon the worlds face,-will one
day be but memory? 1t was an in
land sea once. 1t would not be
very difficult matter to convert it into
one again. A can al go miles long,
connecting with the Atlantic the vast
depression which runs close up to the
coast nearly midway between the Goth
and Goth 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 sea level.
These would become the islands Of the
new Sahara ocean. What would be the
results that would ensue upon this stu
pendous Transformation? Some would
be good, and some bad. Among the
latter may be mentioned the probable
destruction Of the vineyards Of south
ern Europe. which depend for their ex-
istence upon the warm dry winds from
the great African desert. AS some COM
pensation for this, however, the mer-
camille marines OF the nations affected
would be enabled to gain immediate
and easy access to vast regions now
given over to barbarism. and a series
Of more or less flourishing seaport
