What Engineers Propose Doing
with the World’s Deserts.
The Sahara Could Be Qnick.lv Mad*
an Inland Sea—Project to Divide
Ireland with ■
Canal.
Few people realize how completely of
late years the surface aspect of this
weazened 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 glory 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 “Mme. Rachel" who haa
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 admeasuring tape.
And the marvel of it all is this—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 great 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
be 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
thirtieth parallels of latitude, would do
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.
ihese would become the islands or tne
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 central 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 of
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 in
southern California. If the plan, as at
present proposed. Is carried out, a tract
of absolutely uninhabitable territory,
comprising nearly 13,000 square miles,
and the greater portion of which lies
between 500 and 1,000 feet below- sea
level, will be submerged.
A few Englishmen—known as “little
Englanders”—still blame the govern
ment for insisting upon the reeonquest
of the Soudan. “A useless acquisition,”
say they. Perhaps!
But capable judges believe that it
would have been little less than suicidal
to have allowed these regions to fall
into the hands of France; for the sim
ple reason that her engineers, by divert
ing the course of the Nile at Abu Hamed
or Berber—no very difficult task—
could at any time turn all upper Egypt
iii a uioi-i w
It has even been suggested that it
might be possible—by turning its wa- j
ters into one of the many lateral
ravines which run at right angles to
the present course of the river—to find
a new outlet for it into the Red sea, and
thereby to transform, in process of
time, that sheet of water into a great
fresh water lake.
To accomplish this, it would of course
be necessary to build a giant dam
across its southern “neck,” near Penm,
and to regulate, or rather stop alto
gether, the inward flow' of the Mediter
ranean through the Suez canal—a big
task, but one not entirely impossible of
accomplishment.
The above are examples of big
schemes. There arc many others that
might be mentioned, including, of
course, the Panama and Nicaraguan
canals, and the French “war canal” be
tween the mouths of the Loire and the
Rhone, which, when completed, will
enable their ironclads to dodge round
j behind Gibraltar when passing from
the Atlantic to the1 Mediterraenan or
vice'versa, -
But it is the comparatively little en
gineering feats which have slowly .but
■surely altered id the past and will alter
in the future the face of the earth. Even
so small a matter, for instance, as the
proposed seawall at Southend will cer
tainly deepen the estuary of the
Thames, .and may conceivably do away
with the Goodwin sands.
A scheme was recently mooted to cut
a ship canal through the center of Ire
land, beginning at Dublin and finish
ing at Galway. It would be no very
difficult feat to accomplish, for most
of the country through which it w ould
pass is flat and boggy.—Chicago Chron
icle. _

COZY HOME FOR TRAMPS.
Wealthiest Hobo in America Plana a
Comfortable Refuge for
the Aged.
Hans Ablehanson, the wealthiest
tramp in America, who several yeari
ago lived at the Waldorf-Astoria in New
York, at the expense of a western rail
road magnate, as a result of a wagei
that Hans could not walk from Tacoma
to Panama in eight months, Is to build
a home for aged tramps. Hans recent
ly received $25,000 by the will of a rel
ative who died in Sweden, and the money
is now said to be drawing interest in a
New York bank.
Hans recently disclosed his intention
to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor
cester, Mass. The other day Johneoa
was in New York, and, while talkini
about Hans’ project, said:
“It sounds like the dream of a crazy
man, but Hans declares that he will
build the tramps’ home with his money.
He says that he will build his home
somewhere in New England. I asked
him why he didn’t take his money and
settle down and he said it is much more
fun to be a tramp.
“He said that the only thing he wanted
to get out of his money is a home to lire
in when he gets too old to catch freights
so long as he had to build himself a home
he declared that he might as well build
one large enough for 25 or 30 of hli
friends. He told me that he knew 5.00(
tramps on the road in the United States
Some of these friends of his, he ex*
plained, are getting old and stiff and
cannot tramp much longer.
“He plans to put all of his money in
this home for his friends. After it ii
built, he argues that by a little work
such as broom making or mending chain
or something of that kind, the 25 tramp:
who reside w-ithin can pay running ex
D6I1S6S. When I asked him hnw cnnn he
is going to build this home he said thai
he is looking for a suitable place, anc
that as soon as he finds one he will tak«
his money out of the bank and build.”
COULD NOT KILL THE HOBO.
Rusty Rufus Was on the Pilot Milk
ing ii Cow After Running into
a Herd.
“It was way back in the ’70s,” said
an old engineer. “I was pulling thf
‘limited’ east from Council Bluffs tc
Chicago over the Bock Island. The
night was bitterly cold. We had gone
about 20 miles out, and had stopped
at a night office for orders, and had
started up again, when the fireman
reached over and said: ‘There is a
hobo on the pilot; saw him get on a1
the depot.’ ‘Sure?’ I asked. ‘Go out
on the running board and see if he’s
there yet.’ The fireman did as he was
ordered to do, and returned with the
information that the hobo was still
there.
“ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘it’s a bitter cold
night, and if he can stand it out there
I am willing he should ride with me.'
And on we went toward Chicago, with
old ‘211’ barking like sixty at the low
joints ahead and forgetful of our ‘head
end’ passenger on the pilot,
“By and by, by the faint glimmering
of the headlight, I thought I saw ahead
what seemed to be a bunch of cattle on
the track. As we approached it the
bunch seemed to grow larger. • It wae
now too late to do anything, so I just
pulled her wide open and old 211 hit
that bunch of cattle ‘ka-bif.’ To para
phrase the language of Tennyson, who
glides into raptures of admiration ovei
the charge of the Light brigade at Bala
klava, there was just simply cattle to
the right of us, cattle to the
left of us, but none any more In
front of us-.- After It was over oui
thoughts reverted to the hobo on the
pilot. ‘Go out and see if he is still
there,’ I said.”
“Well,” said an old brakeman, under
whose feet the frosts of many winters
had crackled as he wended his way in
the dark over many a long train of boa
cars, and who had been listening to
the storv. “Well,” said he, “was he
killed?"
“No," replied ,,the engineer. “There
he sat, as large as any hobo could sit,
on the pilot with an oyster can milking
one of those durned cows.”—Topeka

A Serious
Mistake.
It is a serious thing to neglect,
your heart.
The moment you detect any
weakness or irregularity, such
as short breath after exercise,
palpitation, fluttering, weak or
hungry spells, pain in breast,
side or shoulder, or uneasiness
when lying on left side, you
should take Dr. Miles’ Heart
Cure; it rarely ever fails to
relieve all these symptoms.
If not promptly restored,
chronic heart disease soon de
velops, and then it only remains
for some sudden strain to com
pletely exhaust the heart.
Thousands of hopeless cases
have been cured, and if you do
not try it, it will be the great
est mistake of your life.
1 “When I began taking Dr. Miles*
Remedies I was in a very bad. condi
tion. I had stomach trouble, with
severe distress after eating. My heart
hurt me, and I had shortness of
breath, palpitation. My pulse was
Irregular, and my feet, ankles and
hands were swollen. Every month
at regular periods I had severe pain.
I wrote Dr. Miles’ Medical Co., and
they advised me to take Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine and Heart Cure.
I soon noticed an improvement, and I
continued the medicine until I was
completely cured. I feel like a dif
ferent person. In fact I have not felt
so well for 20 years.”

BRIGHT'S DIS ISEll
9 Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping “it will wear away,” are {S
■ drifting towards Bright’s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms. - H
\m FOLEYSKIDNEYCORE
9 stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues fl
B of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out m
fl 'the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and fl
9 l the Poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, Bj
9 ([' / . causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc. fl
fl Vswl If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY’S B
fl y KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a fl
fl 1 fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system. fl
How to Find Out.
You can easily determine if your kidneys are
out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick-dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at ouce.
G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years. w
G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: B
“About four year* ago I wrote you statin* that I had been entirely 'H
cured of a lever# kidney trouble by taking less than two bottle, of
Foley’s Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick-dust sediment aad \
pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that i,
I have never had a return of any of those symptom* during the four 'v
year* that have elapsed, and I am evidently curted to stay cured, and 4K
heartily recommsnd Fotey’a Kidney Cure to any one sufferia* from ig|
kidney or bladder trosbls.’’ ^B
