French engineers have declared it perfectly feasible to convert the desert of Sahara into vast lake, thus open ing to commerce great regions of the interior of Africa, which can now only be reached by long, tedious and dan gerous caravan journeys. They say that a large portion of the desert lies below the level of the Atlantc, and that by digging a canal to let in the waters of the ocean the great change could be effected easily and at a cost which would be small compared to the bene- fits which would accrue. If the whole desert lay below the level of the Att lantic the flooding of it would create a sea more than four times as big as the Mediterranean; but as the Sahara is composed of elevated pIateaus, noun tain ranges and Impressions, only a part would be covered with water when the waves of the ocean were let in. and the new sea thus formed would be an ir- regular body of water, probably of about the same size as the Mediter- ranean.

NOT UTE HAPPY.

II iaW could make wage earners prosperous and happy the wage-earners of New Zealand and Australia ought to be prosperous and happy. But many of them are er1igratfng. One of the ernigrants from New Zealand, in reply to the question why he was leaving. re- piled that it was because there was no
 chance of rising, the active, intelligent and skillful worker being placed by law on an equal footing with the lazy, ig-
 norant and incompetent. One worker said that few yaars ago he could earn

one pound week more in New Zealand than he could now, that the minimum wage and the arbitration court meant ruin to the man who wanted to rise to be master. that the minimum wage meant the maximum, and that under the democratic tyranny his hours Of work were limited: that he was not aI- lowed to apprentice his boys, and, in fact, the legislation Of the last ten years meant putting the energetic, thrifty man on a level with the lazy and thriftless. Emigrants from Mel bourne and Sydney to South Africa will lingly exchange the ''closed'' regime of their homes for the ''open'' system of Cape Colony and the Transvaal. The critics of the Australasian system con- tend that the old-age pension scheme is really oniy a tax on the thrifty to keep the thriftless, and will have to be abol- ished, as it is a premium on thriftless- ness. The early-closing act works en- tirely in the interests of big city firms, and has ruined vast numbers of subur- ban shopkeepers, whose trade was mostly in the evening, while the ar bitration act has caused constant worry to employers, the most trivial matters constantly dragging them before the court. The result is that money is be- ing withdrawn from industrial under takings, and either removed from the country or allowed to remain idle in the banks.
 Evidently we don't know yet how to make earth a heaven by law.

Andrew Carnegie can figure, and he has been figuring on the value of the United States negro. He says that Great Britain would give a great deal for B. 100000 men as industrious as the negro. He says that in case of war with Great Britain, we need no navy. We have only to shut off the supply of cotton from the mills of Great Britain to ruin her. We .are inpregnabIe, he says. irnpregnabla because we have 9,OOO00O colored men anxious and willing to promote the cot ton crop.
 This is cheering, both to the negro and the United States. Probably we shall never ruin our great and good friend in the way MT. Carnegie sug- gests. but it is pleasant to know that we can if we ever need to.

The belief that smallpox is essentially "a filth disease, that unclean ways of living mainly contribute to it's spread and that consequently it's principal points of departure are to be sought in the United States in the colonies of immigrants Of the lowest class is not borne out by the statements made by tie Pennsylvania State Board of Health by it's Secretary. He says that the greatest prevalence of the disease with in his observation during the past twelve months has not been among the ignorant foreigners, living in filthy sur- roundings, but among so-ealled en- lightened and well-to-do Americans. Tlie reason for this he declares to be the fact that, whether Or not the foreigners were vaccinated at home in infancy, nearly all of them were, under the laws of this country, when they came over the sea. This" he adds, "eTeetually disposes of the ar gun1ent that ordinary hygienic condi- tions and personal cleanliness are sufficient to prevent the spread of smallpox. Tn point of fact they are of not the slightest efficiency in this respect. Hence for any community to pin it's faith on cleaning up, as it is called, while it neglects vaccina- tion, is the sheerest folly"
 Thls will not please the anti-vaccina- tionfsts, but. it will add to the faith of those who believe in vaccination. If communities will clean up and be yac- cinated too they will escape smallpox and some other things also.

Where and why the wild pigeons that used to abound in the United States went nobody knows, but they went, and they haven't come back. It is interest ing to note that members of hunting party from the osage reservation say they saw wild pigeons few days ago in flight in the hills north of the Arkansas river. Those who saw them were famil- jar with their appearance years ago, land are positive that the birds were pig cons. The pigeons were seen at differ ent places. One hunter saw single pigeon in full flight southward and two other hunters saw two pigeons, also fly ing south. It is alleged that few wild pigeons have been seen this fall in the Illinois marsh lands east of St. Louis
 This is decidedly interesting if it is true. The disappearance of the wild pigeons from the United States was a remarkable event. and it would be equally remarkable if they should come back. They ought to, now that we have colonies, a world policy, etc. etc. It is a bigger and more important country to die fer than 1t was in the wild pigeons time. and they would do themselves credit by coming back and dying for it now,
