country of the blind be blind yourself,
and, though, like all proverbs, 1t Is
doubtless not intended to be taken

is so common in Algeria, especially
among the tribes that inhabit the GASES
of the Sahara, that the traveller may
almost stop and ask himself if he has
indeed come to that country OF the
blind. The prevalence of eye disease
is due perhaps to the intense dazzling
brilliance of the desert sun and TO that
complete absence of shade which must
be endured by the wandering Saharan'
