SAHARA MAY BE RECLAIMED
Good Possibility of Its Being Made
Into Reasonably Productive
Agricultural Country.

That the Sahara will some day
blossom like the rose," or at any rate
like reasonably productive agricul-
tural country, is the gist Of an article
by J. Nicholas Brusse in La Nation Of
Paris. For more than a quarter of q
century, Mr.. Brusse declares, although
people in general have thought Of the
Sahara as an enormous, permanently
hopeless expanse of sand, those &C
quainted with the results Of geo
graphical survey conducted about 1893
have known also that the Sahara is
not absolutely unfit for either plant or
animal life. Rain falls sometimes In
the great desert and there are under
ground streams that could be made
available for water. The present GASES
could be developed and others created.
provided beginning were made by
establishing strategic roads and intro
ducing sense of law and order among
the desert tribes for the security of
those who were trying to develop the
country. In its entirety the region in
a good deal of spontaneous vegeta-
ton; 1t grows number of forage
plants and shrubs that serve as pas
turage for caravans, and could doubt
less be improved and made valuable
by cultivation. Fig trees, apricOts,
peaches, grapes and various cereals
have been grown in the GASES.

GARFIELD QUITS POST
Resigns As Head of u. S. Fuel
Administration.
DisIikes Terms OF Peace In Settlement
of Coal Strike -.Foresees Raise
In Price.

Washington, Dec 12.-Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield's resignation is In
the hands Of President Wilson, CIV
en- because ne disagrees on the prin-
ciple with the coal strike settlement
proposal arranged by the government
and the mine workers union.
DR.. Garfield himself refused to con
firm, deny or discuss the report. but
at the White House it was said that
a personal letter from him had been
transmitted to the President.
Men close to the fuel administrator
understand that he believes that the
work of the commission, authorized
under the settlement, to be made up
Of enc coal mine operator, coal mi
ner, and third person named to rep.
resent the public, will result in an in
crease in the price of coal to the con-
Stunning public.
Garfield Opposed Proposal.
Against this form of settlement,
DR.. Garfield has b. en- unalterably op-
posed. 1t has been learned on good
authority that he took no part in the
Will IuO ILlhS WI hSi .
union chiefs during the last week and
that tn ough informed and consulted
after their initiation, the terms laid
out as finally accepted contravene his
conception of the main principle in
volved.
1t was recalled in connection with
the resignation, that in suggesting a
IA per cent wage increase as fair for
the miners and possible to be paid
from present profits of mine owners.
DR.. Garfield suggested commission
representative Of the industry to re-
view findings, but expressed the con-
viction that such body should not
have powers to fix prices. His belief
is said to be that with this power
granted, combination of the employ
er and employee in the industry to
mulct to public by price raises, is GER
tain to result.

Shells Help Oil GeoIosIst.

The little jellylike animals which
the scientist calls Foraminifera swarm
so abundantly in the sea that their
tiny cast-off shells in some places
make up considerable part of the
sediments which are laid down on

may become beds Of rock in land

from some Of the accidents that be-
