One Of the most difficult Of the prob
are the menacing oceans of sand
which in different parts of the world
are converting fields into deserts. What
terrific ravageS can be caused by a
vast sea Of sand is perhaps best seen
in Africa, but in England to a small
extent and in the United States to a
serious degree, there may be found
demonstrations Of the sand plague
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
infnitesimal object that proverbially
it is the least visible thing in the
world, yet when it Is united with in
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
a country, slowly, relentlessly, laying
waste everything Buildings are under
mined, roads are obliterated and it's
gruesome work once begun never
ceases.
Egypt Not Always Waste.
Egypt was not always the sandy
waste the modern tourist finds it, Yet
if the visitor to the Nile country makes
a 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.

ed that by this time they are tasting
the first fruits of liberty. We wish
them we'll. 1t is highly proper for old
er and wiser heads to wag dolefully
and predict all sorts Of dad ends" for
boys who run away from home, but
what man is there of full stature who
can blame them? We all know what
the boyish wanderlust is and how 1t
gets into the blood at the spr1ngtlme
of year. Many staid old dodgers even
to-day look about at the trees and the
meadows and feel the call of the Wild,
and long for the eXultatiOn of the open
places. And many and many more
staid old dodgers remember in mist
of sweet memories times when they
themselves started to run away" and
seek their fortunes in the big wide
world A little more misty and little
more sweet is the memory Of those flu
tile enterprises which left the dirty
and penitent boy on his knees with
his head in his mothers lap sobbing
for the very joy Of being home again.
We all know the wanderlust of boy
hood 1t Is very natural and very
commemorate emotion, for it indicates
spirit and enterprise and ambition to
do great things alone and unafraid. We
oil Folk hn nd rI In in n a
turer years that called us out into life,
sometimes alone and sometimes in the
companionship of a loyal friend who
shared our timorous adventures. And
how many are there of gray-haired
old men in the world to-day who would
not feel that the price of the long strug-
gle was not too dear if they could only
return again along the weary years to
sob for joy at being in the old home
and penitent at a mothers knee. Those
boys are all right. They do not now
realize the aching hearts they have
left behind, but the heritage of liberty
is theirs and they are off to the fish
ing pools, the swimming holes, seeking
whatever adventures may lie in their
paths. Mark Twain understood the
wanderlust when he told us about Tom
Sawyer and Huck Finn. 1t is boyish
nature. If all goes we'll, those boys
will be back again not bit the worse
for their premature contact with the
world Of selfshness and hunger. But
under whatever skies they wander we
sigh for their opportunities. We, old
er grown, still know the destinations
of the wanderlust.

But this is a matter Of commerce.
With the overwhelming Of the espla-
made, or seawalk, at the same place,
which has been accomplished by tho
sand and wind in a very thorough
manner, an equally serious problem IS
encountered. This cannot be gotten rid
Of by such simple means as dredging
a channel. The sand must be removed,
and very pretty problem it presents.
In some places the magnificent rallied
esplanade lies under five or six feet of
sand. Not only has the hayward sand
covered the walk, but has accumulated
in dunes between the esplanade and
the sea, effectively shutting out the
view.
Some imaginative geographers have
affected to believe in a girdle of des-
erts around the world. By means of a
specially drawn map this phenomena
is apparent. Following a curved line
it is seen that the great deserts of
Asia, Africa and the lesser sandy

The buzzing, ringing or whistling in
the ears-tinnitus, with the accent on
the second syllable, it is called-is
often a most distressing and nerve
racking condition.
The occasional temporary buZZing
that one often has as an accOmpani-
ment Of the latter stages of a cold In
the head is disagreeable enough but
not intolerable; but when this noise
goes on houF after hour, day after
day, week after week, without a mo-
ment's cessation, it grows maddening.
1t is the last thing that is heard before
going to sleep, the first thing on wax
ing in the morning, and when a mo-
die of the night, there is that same
sound-a ringing of brazen bells, it
may be, Or tinkling, or the slow
breathing of a locomotive at rest, or
the shriller sizzle of escaping steam,
or continuous hum. now bass, now
treble, but always and forever hum
without a seconds intermission.
Tinnitus is probably always due to
some disturbance of the nervous
mechanism of the ear, and in the ma
jority of instances is associated with
deafness. 1t may be due to the action
of certain drugs, such as quinine, but
then of course it is only temporary.
Sometimes it occurs only when one is
lying down; the cause Of this may be
that a faint but constant ringing be-
comes audible only when everything
is still or it may be due to slight con-
gestion, the blood flowing to the head
more readily and in greater volume
then than when one sits or stands.
The most common form Of head
noises is that associated with chronic
catarrh. In these cases the disease
of the mucous membrane passes from
the throat through the Eustachian
tube into the drum of the ear, causing
deafness and tinnitus. The two go to-
gether, but the noises, being more evil
dent to the sufferer, are usually COM
planned of before the hearing fails.
The treatment of head noises is often
most difficult, and not infrequently
battles the skill of the most experience
ed aurists. The first and most impor-
tant thing is to determine what pro-
duces the ringing in the ears. If the
cause can be found and removed, as
when it is due to an accumulation of
wax in the ear, we'll and good; but If
it occurs with deafness due to incura-
Bile changes in the ear itself, the pros
pect of complete relief is less encour-
aging. But even intractable cases are
sometimes cured by persistent and IN
telligent treatment OF course this
treatment must be carried out under
the care of a skillful physician, Cor
there is nothing more foolish than
amateur treatment of ear diseases

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 a
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-
ly 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
en- most encouraging results. Contem-

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
Of Algeria, threatens to lay waste final
ly to the coast. The Atlas Mountains
alone appear to have held the monster
in check.
Various propositions have been made
concerning the African desert, and one
Of Them a scheme Of inundation, is al
most too chimerical, if in effect it
would not be mishievous, to deserve
serious attention. To stem the tide Of
sand in this vast ocean by ordinary
means is impossible, and probably ma
ture will be left to repair her damage
in her own way.
1t Is the struggling vegetation on the
edge Of the desert which is responsible
for the tardy strides Of the sand. And
it is from so casual hint that sue
cessful experiments have been made
with brush and grass on the North
Carolina coast, where the sand enemy
has grown to be as terrible as night
mare, only far more potent Of destruc-
ton.
Inundation at Southport.
While parts Of the English coast are
being washed away and eaten up by
the sea, other parts are being added to
with rapidly Although the inreads
of sand may be natures way of max
ing compensation for what she has else
where deprived the country, the inhab-
itants of Southport, for instance, do
not view the situation with any salts
faction.
Within the last few years some mil
lions of tons of sand have accumulated
on the shores at Southport. The wind
is mainly responsible for the over
whelming character of the sand. At
a recent meeting of the Southport
Chamber Of Commerce it was stated
that unless a new channel was cut al
most Immediately the town would in
very few years be four miles from
deep water So far as the filling up of
the channel is concerned, the blame
must be put upon the sea. However,
it will cost 100000 to dredge this new
channel, and the necessity for the work
is apparent The pier at Southport is
nearly a mile in length, but with deep
water receding at the present rate the
pier soon will become useless.
