THE SANDS OF THE DESERT.

Sand as a feature of desert landscapes
is not so prominent as ordinarily sup
posed. Dunes of size are to be found in
but few places In America away from
the sea-shore, but in northern Africa
more extensive areas are occupied by
huge ridges One may travel for days
without seeing either a mound or the
unbroken stretches of sand which figure
so largely in literature. Despite these
facts, there is enough Of fine particles Of
dust and broken rock present everywhere
to become unpleasantly noticeable in a
wind One soon becomes accustomed 70
