What Engineers Propose Doing
with the World's Deserts.
The Sahara Could He Hulclily Slade
an Inland Sea—I’rojrct to IMrUe
Ireland with a
Canal.
Few people realize how completely of
In'e years the surface aspect of this
u -a ned old globe of ours has been al
tered and improved.
The world to-day, in fact, differs
from the world of our ancestors, much
as a society lady, in all the g lory of fold
and frill and furbelow, differs from her
savage sister running wild in pestilen
tial woods. As art has transformed the
one, so has it the other.
Only the "Mine. Rachel” who has
made the earth, if not exactly "beauti
ful for ever,” at least a pleasant and
healthful place wherein to dwell, is no
charlatan with a dray load of cos
metics and a glib tongue, but a civil en
gineer, owning nothing more harmful
than a few mysterious-looking instru
ments and a measuring tape.
And the marvel of it all is thi3—that
what has been done is but an infinites
imal fraction of that which may, and
doubtless will, be done. Who can doubt,
for instance, that the g-reat Sahara
desert — that mole upon the world’s
face—will one day be but a memory?
It was an inland sea once. It would not
he a very difficult matter to convert it
into one again.
A canal 60 miles long, connecting
with the Atlantic the vast depression
which runs close up to the coast nearly
midway between the twentieth and

the business beautifully. The water
would not, of course, cover the entire
surface of the desert. Here and there
are portions lying above sea level.
These would become the islands of the
new Sahara ocean.
What would be the results that would
ensue upon this stupendous transfor
mation? Some would be good and some
bad. Among the latter may be men
tioned the probable destruction of the
vineyards of southern Europe, which
depend for their existence upon the
warm dry winds from the great African
desert.
In a similar manner the greater por
tion of the centra! Australian desert,
covering an area of fully 1.000,000
square miles, might be flooded. The is
land continent would then be recon
verted into a gigantic atoll, and would
resemble, roughly, an oval dish o*
which the depressed central portion
would be covered with water and only
the “rim” inhabited. In this connec
tion it may be interesting to note that
a company has actually been formed
for submerging the Yuma desert iu
southern California. If the plan, as at
present proposed, is carried out, a truct
of absolutely uninhabitable, territory,
comprising nearly 13,000 sqijare miles,
and *he greater portion oflwhioh lies
between ,PV> and j.nOff fevt^below sea
level, will Be submerged.
A few Englishmen—known as “little
Englanders”—-atill biarne the. govern
ment for insisting upon the rettobquest
of the Soudan. “A useless acquisition,”
cay they. Perhaps.:

would have been little less than suicidal
to have ali.owed these regions to fail

Into a desert.
It has even been suggested that it
might be possible—by turning its wa
* vs into one of the many late al
nines which run at right angles to
.... vesent course of the river—to find
u outlet for it into the Red sea. and
thereby to transform, in process of
■ j'lii', that sheet of water into a great
fresh water lake.
To accomplish this, It would of course

might lie mentioned, including, of

in the future the face of the earth, liven
so small a matter, for instance, as the

Every pain in. the breast, dif

that your heart is straining it
self in its effort to keep in

exertion or excitement will
completely exhaust the nerves,
or rupture the walls or arteries
of the heart, and it will stop.
Relieve this terrible strain at
once with Dr. Miles' Heart
Cure. It invigorates and
strengthens the heart nerves
and. muscles, stimulates the
heart action, and relieves the
pain and misery.

suffered terribly with heart dis

different physicians for my trouble
without results. I went to a physi
cian in Memphis, who claimed that
I had dropsy of the heart. He put
the X-ray on me, and in connection
with his medicine he came near mak
ing a finish of me. Some time before
this a Mr. Young, of St. I.ouis. was
in our town. He saw my condition,
and recommended Dr. Miles' Heart
