RecIaimine the Sahara Desert.

AS a result of recent scientific in
vestigations it may be possible to re-
wise our ideas of the barrenness of the
Sahara desert, since it has been found
by boring that there are numerous
springs which rise to the surface and
make possible system of irrigation.
In the territory to the south of Algeria
a government irrigation survey has
been at work making a series of deep
test bOrings, some of which are as
deep as 1000 feet. In this way con-
siderable water has been encountered
and in certain GASES already twice the
usual amount of water has been made
available for the palm groves.-Har-
