A molten sea of dazzling, vibrating
light seems the desert of Sahara neal

popular belief pictures tia vast plain
of moving sand dotted here and there
with fertile GASES. From Tunis III
North Africa westward it is a vast
depression of sand and clay not much
above sea level, in some parts perfect
ly level, in others hilly, with low de-
pressions containing water salter than
the sea. This generally ev~aporates,
leaving a coating OF brilliant crystals
which look like snow in the distance.
The river from the Aures mountains
serves to irrigate the GASES OF the ~
ban; sometimes they flow above the
surface, but more often below 1t. NOW
and then the mirage appears, refresh
ing the weary eyes of the stranger
with visions of beautiful lakes near
the horizon, even sometimes of NOV
ing caravans and trees. Alas! This Is
an instance where seeing is not believ-

camels suddenly raise their heads and
snuff the air and move at quicker pace
