SAHARA GROWING DRYER.
French Observer Says the Oasis are
Fast Disappearing.

c. F. Gautier, a French explorer
is authority for the statement tnat
the Sahara Is continuously becom-
Ing drier to such an extent that the
oases are perceptibly drying up and
will disappear altogether In rela-
lively short time. He quotes histori-
cal records and physical signs to
show that springs were at one time
,luch more-plentiful- than now, and
that the extent of the patches where
vegetation !. fourishes were much
greater even so to 100 years ago.
AS the climate Of the region mas
undergone no change In perhaps
thousands of years. he believes that
the disappearance OF the water
must be due to purely mechanical
causes. He considers that it Is due
to the continual advance OF the
great sand masses to the north, thus
forming an impermeable barrier a.
gainst the watershed OF the Atlas
AoEdtains.-New York Sun.

Cost o, a London Muddy Day

It has been calculated that the
cost of a muddy day in London 10
something like $4,000. THIS is not
surprising, says Tit-Bits. when one
remembers that no fewer than 50
tons OF mud are carried about from
place to place on the wheels OF carts
and carriages and horses hoofa.
After a wet day the dry mud brushed
from peoples clothing amounts to
10 tons, and a very similar amount
is shaken out of the door mats.
City mud, however, has its good
points,. The shoeblack increases hin
earnings in the muddy weather, and
new silk hats and dresses and boots
and shoes are each and all the direct
outcome OF its destructive qualities.

c. =. Gray. who has been in Spo-
kane for the past two weeks, arrived
here last night and drove up to En-
that this morning. He states that
there is a general feeling in Spokane
that one and possibly two railroads
will be built up the Columbia river
this coming season. Among railroad
men, he stated, there is considerable
talk OF the Great Northern railway
running up the river on the east side
until Entiat is reached, where q
crossing can be secured very cheaply
as there are natural piers in the river.
The idea of this is to obviate the
necessity of having to build practic-
ally two roadbeds. In case the road
should go up the west side of the
river the state would compel the rail-
road company to build wagon road
in place of the roadway which the
survey cuts in many places and in
some places there is scarcely room
for both the railroad and the wagon
road 1t is thought that the rail-
road company would save money by
going up the east side of the river
and crossing the Columbia river at
Entiat.
There is also a very general senti-
ment in Spokane that as soon as
spring fully opens the North Coast
will be grading along the line of its
survey up the river.

full of great and good results, because
