FRANCE is TRYING TO
CHANGE AFRICAN CLIMATE
Considering Creation OF Inland Seas
to Make Sahara Desert Fertile
Land.

Paris, Aug. 6 R-France is seri-
ously considering the creation of
inland seas in the Sahara desert In
an effort to change the climate OF
northern Africa and make arid re-
gions fertile. The cabinet is expect
ed to decide in September on pro-
Ject TO do this submitted by Dwight
Braman, New York engineer.
The plan calls for the cutting of
three ship canals forty feet deep
and two hundred feet wide from the
Mediterranean sea at Gabes to three
dry saline lake beds called Shots.
1t was estimated that the waters of
the sea by this means would flood
some 10000 square miles reaching
from Caves westward. The effect
would be to altar climatic conditions
by increasing rainfall.
The canals would also afford y
water route of about $50 miles for
seagoing ships through a part of
Tuns and deep into Algeria.
Before beginning operations Bra

French cabinet must decide on the
granting Of such a concession. Bra

project.
