WHY a Desert Is a Desert

in which the rainfall is markedly less than
the amount OF water that evaporatcs from
the surface. AS the amount of evaporation
naturally increases from the polar regions
toward the tropics and is affected by winds
and elevation, it follows that no arbitrary
amount Of rainfall may be designated as
an invariable cause or accompaniment Of
arid or desert conditions.
Thus in certain portions of the tropics
a rainfall of less than seventy inches re-
suits In atdity, while some Of the most
fertile agricultural districts In the north
and south temperate zones receive scarcely
onethird thin amount
Arid deserts occur in all OF the great land
divisions and reach an enormous extent in
Africa. Asia and Australia. The most
pronounced desert conditions Of South
America are found on the western slopes
and benches Of the Andes Orc locality,
that Of Copiapo, has an average precipita.
ton Of 0.4 inches year and SO far as
known is the driest spot on the eartlis

istics of desert. but 1t would not be safe
to estimate the total number of species
much below the average number.
Lastly, it is to be remembered that local
topography has little influence on the
desert character Of region. Sandy fats,
plains. valleys and rocky hills reaching
to such attitudes as to become mountains
are included in some desert tracts. It
follows as natural consequence Of the
sparse vegetation as one factor that the
surface layers of the substratum, being
usually dry in arid regions. are readily
shifted and worn by winds.
What, then, is desert?
The term desert may be applied to areas
Of the earth's surface which support a
sparse vegetation of more or less spe.
cialized character owing to inadequate
rainfall or to the unsuitable composition
or lack of soil. OF these conditions scanty
water supply may be regarded as Of the
greatest Importance, and it is to this factor
that most deserts owe their existence.
Desert conditions arise in any region

DESERT is popularity held to be

A DESERT is popularity held to be a
n region wholly or partly without
vegetation. a region that is rain
less, usually sandy and commonly not
habitable.
This idea, however, is based upon error.
There is failure to recognize the fact
that whether or not region is habitable
is not criterion Of its aridity. The de-
velopment Of modern methods Of transpor'
tation has made possible the maintenance
of dwellings and towns with considerable
population at one or even two hundred
miles from the nearest supply of water.
Even such facilities are not necessary to
the sustenance of population in deserts
of the most extreme type, as illustrated by
the Sahara, which has population Of two
and a half million.
SO far as vegetation is concerned the
actual number of individuals is much less
than on n similar area in a moist climate.
This In fact is one Of the chief character.

that outrage more closely than we could

between the actual outrage and the An

always is in such affairs. that vague span

solid foundation. In other words, evil

We were certain but we had little to

we were after evidence that they were help

Two things caused Salsedo to jump from
the fourteenth story of the Park Row
Building. OF course he was dead three
months before the Wall street explosion.
But he knew that the plot existed.
One was that he decided we were getting
too close to his own trail and the other
was because he feared torture and most
unpleasant death at the hands of the radi-
calls, who believed him to be turning In
former. He had sufficient liberty to make
it possible for him to receive innumerable
threats from radicals who thought he was
betraying them.
Luigi Galleani came into newspaper
prominence first in Paterson. N. j. During
the silk mill strikes in that town in 1902
he was arrested for melting to riot. He
fed, not to be found until 1906 when he
was arrested in Barre, Vt. He was tried
in Paterson in 1907 and the jury disagreed.
Thereafter Galleani confined his efforts
to soft, provocative speeches and news

After all one never learned
much of real Importance by sit

l doubt very much whether Gal
leani or any other prominent
anarchist in this country since
the Haymarket disaster in Chi
cago worked up to bomb out
rage from a definite plan. l
mean to say that they do not
start out, as you might, to &C.

definite line until that end has
been gained. They work devil
ously.
