ton is at hand, and that the encroach-
ment of the sand upon the land and
upon the sounds may be effectually
stopped"
Owing to the fortunate chance that
the north winds which pile up the sand
here blow only in the winter, and that
the spring rains are usually of light in
tensity, especially on Hatteras Island,
the solution of the problem is rendered
comparatively easy. In 1856, Professor
Cobb began his experiment He found
it simple matter to plant grasses and
shrubbery in the late winter and early
spring and have them gain a firm foot
ting before the strong winds came.
Trees as Wind Breaks.
He planted the seed of the loblolly
Pine on the back of a dune and covered
the area with brush cut from a nearby
road in process of making. The brush
served not only to break the wind. but
f. conserve the moisture in the sands.
To-day, he says, from that modest be-
ginning of u years ago, there is for.
est of several acres. The European
plan of building barrier dune by
means of wind breaks, he says. has
been tried along the coast, but always
without success.
1t having been proved that the sand
seas may be conquered, it may be re-
garded as certain that in time human
ingenuity will reclaim every large arid
waste in the world In another genera
ton, perhaps, there will not be a des-

States When once the way to solve
the problem has been shown. enterprise

by the removal o. a strip of forest next

He relates that at Nays Head, a

a little while the sand wave built up n
short distance in the rear until the
level of the hotel roof was reached.
Then the wave advanced and the build

land gained on the sound $50 feet in
ten years. A fishing village on the

One of the most difficult of the prob

which in different parts of the world
are converting fields into deserts. What

in Africa, bur in England to small

which are, to say the least, disquieting.
a grain Of sand, torn away from the
granite rocks countless years ago by
tie great glacial drift, seems such an
intinitesimal object that proyerbially
1t is the least visible thing in the

Vulnerable other grains, and the whole
propelled by the winds, it becomes al
most impossible to stop the progress OF
the shifting mass. 1t pours down over

waste everything. Buildings are under

Egypt Not Always Waste.
Egypt was not always the sandy
waste the modern tourist finds It. Yet
II the visitor to the Nile country makes
journey to the Sphinx he will find
that remarkable piece of sculpture has
been partly obscured by the sand
waves which now cover upper Egypt.
The Sahara, the greatest desert in
the world, was, according to the best
scientific opinion, once an immense in
land sea. In the time Of that sea the
climate in upper Africa, indeed the
whole surface Of the northern part OF
the continent, was very different to
what it now is. At present the Sahara
makes the climate for the Mediterra-
mean and Central Europe, and while
this is agreeable enough, the gradual
expansion of the great ocean of sand,
which IS by degrees tapping the valleys

the sea, effectively shutting out the
view.
Some imaginative geographers have
affected to believe in glrdle of des-
crts around the world. BY means of a
specially drawn map this phenomena
is apparent. Following curved line
it is seen that the great deserts of
Asia, Africa and the lesser sandy
wastes Of North America seem to bear
geographical relation to each other.
Like Lavater's great circle of fire
around the Pacific Ocean. this semi
circle Of deserts at first sight is very
convincing, but that it is more than Il
remarkable coincidence remains to be
established.
Desert Lands of the West.
The Colorado Desert, at the base of
the Sierra Nevada, like the Sahara,
bears signs of being the bottom Of an
ancient sea or lake. These arid lands
of the United States are found in Utah,
Oregon, California. Nevada and Ari-
IONA. The Coast Mountains effectual-
~ shut out from them the moisture
which otherwise might be precipitated
over these wastes. The lightest annu-
al rainfall in the United States is to be
found in this region, particularly in
Southern Arizona.
While these desert lands are not so
great in area as the Sahara, they are
of sufficient size and Importance to
make their reclamation desirable. With
this end in view, the Federal Govern
ment is spending millions in inaugu-
rating one of the most extensive irri-
cation systems ever proposed. That
part of the Arizona desert upon which
the experiment has been tried has Civ
