Lybian Sand Sea Expedition
Seeks Fabulous Oasis.

One Of the earth's last UNEMPLOYED
regions-the great sand sea of the
Lybian deserts yielding the secrets
OF its mysteries.
The latest exploration Of this region
by Mai. R.. A. Baghold, Of the British
army, is reported in the journal Of the
Royal Geographic Society. This expe-
dition traversed about TOO miles Of the
sand sea, where the sand is piled in
vast, creeping cresrs" about 500 yards
apart and sometimes more than so
miles long, so that the crests give the
appearance of sea waves. These sand
waves are almost geometrically straight
and are parallel.
TIE explorers sought especially for
the fabulous oasis of ZerZura, where,
according to native legend, there Is an
ancient and still inhabited city. AL
though they had view for miles In
every direction, they saw no evidence OF
such an oasis and no spot low enough In
the sand sea to reach water level. The
expedition greatly narrowed the ter
ritory where zerzura might be found
II such a place ever existed, Maj. Bag
hold believes, It long since would have
been covered with the drifting sand

The veteran employee who weathered

would be held at least two weeks longer
in the custody of the lawyers and pri-
vate detectives who are guarding him

manner. When he took the bond. he

100000 worth Of unquestionable Sc
curities were deposited by him with
brokers as margins to cover various &C.
