brings back from the Algerian Sahara
about the sinking of wells and the con
sequent irrigation and the improve

1t is delightful to imagine a fringe of
green in that country, arid since the
beginning of time; the blossoming OF
orchards and ardens. the waving or
fields of grain. and the motor car re
lieving the patient camel of its burden
and making across the wastes iR one

do it. Between Tunis and Carthage
this observer counted hundreds OF
American windmills, and the Moor is
ceasing to be so much of a nomad, but
is repoicing in an urgent bid for Amer
lean motor cars.
How far it is possible for windmills
and motor cars TO work south from
the border states of Northern Africa
and meade that hitherto hopeless sandy
waste perhaps nobody knows, but 1t is
encouraging that the invasion is pro-
ceeding Just as it is constantly mar
rowing the limits of the arid regions on
our own continent. Good, hard high
ways are linking the artificial GASES
together, and the motor car furnishes
