30 said a great Frenchman. And
there may soon be no more
deserts left to conquer. Already
two bold schemes have been announced
which, when worked out, as they no doubt
will be, may turn the Sahara into vast
tourists pleasure ground.
But the chief purpose of the gigantic
railroads planned, one to connect Gibraltar
and Tangier with Dakar, on the west coast
of Africa the other to join Algiers and
Phiippeville, in Northern Algeria, with
Amgid or "Amguid'O and Timbuctoo
(which the French call "Tombouctou'), IS
not the diversion of Cooks personally con-
Quoted travellers, but the development of
commerce. The two railroads will link
London, Paris and Madrid with South
Africa; while the Gibraltar-Dakar line will
mean shortening of the route to South
America.
We have read something with regard to
the Importance, from the commercial stand
point, of the Dakar road But little has as
yet been said or printed of the more east
ern plan, which is in many ways of even
greater interest. 1t may soon be possible
to take train from Charing Cross, in Lon
don to Marseilles; to steam thence to
Algers or to Philippeville; to board an
other train at either seaport and to be in
Timbuctoo some three days later
The road from Philippeville is not a
dream. Three hundred miles of it, at
least, now constructed. BY way of Con
stantine reaches the Sahara, beyond
Il-Kantara, and plunges on into the wastes
as far as Touggourt Beyond that, again,
