THE EARTH'S REAL DESERTS
They Are Made by Rain Rather Than
by the Lack of Il.

They Are Made by Rain Rather Than
by the Lack OF Il.
Paul Combes shows In the Paris Cos
mos that the earth's real deserts are
made by rain rather than the lack OF
1t. or, rather, by the combination OF
abundant rain with a land surface In.
rapable of holding moisture long
enough to give plant life chance.
The Sahara OF Africa, the Bad Lands
of our western territories and the Ara.
bian and central Asian deserts are by
no means destitute OF life. They have
their fauna and flora, less numerous
and less varied than those of humid re.
gions and peculiarly adapted to their
environment, but they are rarely or
never destitute OF some kind of life
for any considerable area.
The real deserts are found where the
rains are heavy and where the earth
surface is OF such character that the
water at once runs away and the tenn
perature speedily evaporates what lit
tie moisture the surface may retain.
Such spots are really destitute of life.
The real deserts may be found on a
small scale in most countries. Mr..
Combes cites one in the hills OF French
Savoy, the gorge whence issues the
torrent OF St Julian. The rainfall of
that region is heavy at certain seasons,
but the bare rocks and hard clays of
the surface are incapable under a
southern sun OF holding water long
enough for anything to grow or else
the plants that start are secured away
by the driving rains. There are many
other such spots among the denuded
hills OF Spain.
The largest we'll known rain made
desert is, however, the clay hills of the
Mekran district Of Persia. They are
cut and secured by torrential rains,
and they are lifeless, as the arid des-
erts are not. How they reached their
present state is unknown. AS long ago
as the time OF Alexander the Great
they were described as "a vast grave
yard, without the trace OF a living
tning. 1t may be reasonably conjec-
tured, however. that the Mekran desert
Is TO some extent man made as well as
rain made-that man helped it to be-
come region where rains have be-
come sterilizer instead OF fertilizer.
This conjecture seems reasonable be.
cause similar conditions are reported
as beginning TO appear in certain hill
districts OF western Pennsylvania and
eastern Ohio. The forest growth which
originally covered them has been cut
on and burned OFF SO recklessly that,
though rains are abundant, all vegeta-
ton Is disappearing from them. The
rains that fail upon them race away to
the adjacent river valleys, carrying
with their torrents the minute plants
and low forms of animal life which
create the soil in which other forms
would grow and leave nothing but the
Dare and sterile earth.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

faul was preaching the gospel. He
may nave visited the sick and helm
ell the barbarlans here and there ana
everywl re. But Paul did all this for
the great purpose OF preaching the COS.
pei OF Jesus Christ. So as Paul starts
out for Rome and the people como
down to bid him goodby 1 think ana
know it was about his gospel message
ana MS gospel teaching that they con-
versed, ana 1t would be with prayer
ana apostolic benediction that Paul
would utter his farewell.
Then think see a young girl come
TO him and put her hand lovingly and
gently upon his shoulder as she saws.
Paul. my brother is In Rome. oh
how i love him! VIII you hunt him
up and tell him about ChristY TINS
L think the different Melita friends
crowded around him with their fare
well messages. Nearly all of them
must have had friends in Caesars can
ltaL Nearly all OF them. after they
had found Jesus as their Saviour. must
have wanted Paul to tell their loved
ones about the same Jesus. 1t Is sur
prising TO me how little some people
get out of the Bible. Cannot you find
the words. And they loaded us with
such things as were necessary to
mean something more than a few pills
TO ward off seasickness. and a few gar
ments to keep Paul warm, and a few
delicacies TO WOO his failing appetite.
Now, as Paul's Melita friends start
ed him forth to try to win their loved
ones in Rome to Christ, so when we
enter gospel work the men and women
we bring to Christ will always help us
on to Rome. They will always help
us to bring their loved ones to Christ.
Christian worker OF Melita, YOU are
going to have many "happy surprises
in heaven. You will have many happy
surprises in your Christian work on
earth. But 1 think the happiest one is
to be in heaven. You think that young
man and that young woman will new
er be won for Christ. They have re-
fused your gospel invitations again
and again. But keep on pleading
Keep on working. They will yet give
their hearts to God. They will do It
as surely as did some who heard Paul
preach in Malta and rejected him then.
but afterward repented. And after
earth they shall greet you In heaven.
Oh, could any surprise give the Chris
tan worker as he enters heaven
sweeter 10y?

The Seas Gold.

The Curies extracted their radium
from pitchblende," said a scientist
and there is much less radium in
pitchblende than there is gold in the
sea. Why. then, shouldn't the seas In
exhaustibie gold supply be wrested
from the wavesg
"A Baptist minister came near en-
riching himself with an electrical proc.
ess for drawing the gold from the sea
water. He formed a company with a
capital Of $4,000 and put up a plant
to dea! with 10000 tons of water a
day, expecting therefrom a weekly ne,
profit of $4,000
but unfortunately, though every ton
or sea water yielded 2 cents worth of
gold, the expense OF extracting the
gold was little over 2 cents for ey-
cry ton. Had 1t been a little under
untold wealth. But 1t was little over.
we laugh Mt the idea of extracting
gold from sea water, just as we'd have
laughed ten years ago at the idea of
extracting from pitchblende such a
marvellous substance as radium. but I
am sure the day will come when sea
water Will yield up its radium In paw

kindness as N Magnet.

-
But, IL the human heart is ready 70
greet you kindly, how much more is it
willing to be kind to you after you
nave been kind to it. Kindness is a
magnet 1t attracts; it does not repel.
1t draws the best which is in every
nature with whom ii comes in contact
lt will break the hard crusts of selfish
ness. 1t will make even adamantine
hearts move with sympathetic life
Some years ago at Willet's Point Gen
eral Charles King, United States
army officer, took an old cannon which
had outliyed its usefulness as a de-
stroyer, and he wound it round and
round with ten miles of copper wire.
Then he charged this wire with an
electric battery. The result. said an
eyewitness, was most astounding. The
old gun which once hurled its missiles
or death at an enemy now made the
iron balls leap toward its gaping
mouth. Instead of crushing out human
lives. as 1t once did, it now reached
down and lifted up to its muzzle a
massive metallic weight of many tons.
wonderful, WONDERFUL you say. Not
nearly as wonderful is the lifting pow
er OF that magnetic cannon as is the
drawing power of gospel kindness. No
sooner does the world see that you love
IL and want to serve Ii and to help it
than at Office that world will redouble
its kindnesses and open the arms of love
TO greet your gospel message. And
Christ himself recognized its power
when he said, II, IL be lifted up, will
draw all men unto me-" OF course /
am talking about the human heart as a
whole and not about the human heart
as In individual exceptions. Now, to
prove what l say is true, turn to this
story of Pauls intercourse with the
Maltese barbarians.
