Curious Way In which Water lis Pro.

Curious Way In Which Water lis Pro-
cured For Yexd.
Almost in the center of Persia lies
Yezd, cits of perhaps 10000 people,
on the great caravan route. 1t is city

Years In Persian Town." but how
complete that desert Is and how large
1t Is hard to realize
In going from the Caspian sea to
Yezd one sees strip of green country
thirty miles wide along the sea and
another twenty miles in diameter
round Teheran. Aside from that there
is nothing but waste.
The desert In Persia, however is of
many kinds. There are places where
the ground is absolutely bare except
for the thick crusts of salt that lie
like snowdrifts. streaking the plain in
every direction. There are also places
equally salt where the proximity Of
certain amount of useless water pro
duces a larger quantity of plant life
than In the ordinary desert For the
rest there Is vast waste of sandy
patches and of gravelly soil, fertile
enough when water can be brought to
it. sometimes fecked with dry. brown
ish shrubs. sometimes quite bare.
Two desert plants never touch one
another. In the most favorable places
two very tiny shrubs may be found
within two yards of each other, but
with a single exception one does not
see on the central Persian caravan
route place away from the hills
with enough natural growth to modify
the color of the distance.
Even in the Gases no seed comes up
that is not purposely sown; no plant
seems to have any association with
the rest One fixes the eye on each of
them individually as upon single
unit, not as ON part of field or a
garden.
