plateaus will exist.
The Sahara contains a number of
forage plants and shrubs. It was on
these that the caravans pastured,
and that even the 1,'JOO or U**>
camels of the Foureau-T*amy expedi
tion and its auxiliary convoys suc
ceeded In sustaining themselves.
It roust not be forgotten that we
*re speaking here of spontaneous
vegetation, which grows without de
manding help or labor from man. It
Is, therefore, an incontestable fact
that these pasture lands are capable
of a certain degree of Improvement,
provided there Is an Initial establish
ment of roads of communication. This
lmpr^v<>mpnr e?n-be attained by the
selection of the best grasses, forage
plants and arborescent species. Ac
cording to Messrs. L. Trabut and K.
Mares, the Saharan plants are very
remarkable in their adaptation to a
dry climate and a salty earth. The
date tree Is adapted to those Saharan
regions, which are well provided with
water; beneath the date trees cultiva
tion of the kitchen garden-la very
well developed. In the oases are found
the fig tree, the apricot, the peach and
the grape. Agriculture succeeds well
In the oases of the North as at Bisks.
The cultivated cereals are barley,
wheat, sorghum and millet; lucerne
Is the forage plant of the oasis. It Is
of n very beautiful variety, with wide
leaves and seems very resistant to
salt. Industrial cultivation Is now
confined to a few plants, such as mad
der and a variety of tobacco used for

Estimating Age of Moon.
Geological dates can hardly be very
precise, yet Prof. W. H. Pickering
seeks to reconcile Sir George Darwin s
view that the moon was thrown off
from the earth less than 60,000,000
vears ago with the figures of rock stu
dents showing that the e?r^8
became solidified at least 1,200,000,000
vears ago. Professor Pickering's sug
gestlon, ?? stated In Popular Astro"
omy. Is Hint the moon was detached
while the earth material was still
L*uflic4outiy timt far ??o*
It circulated around the earth as a
cloud of fragments. The tldal ,nJl"p
ence of this cloud being small, the
earth would have long retained its
primitive rotation period of
hours. Centrifugal force would ha
greatly reduced gravity in the tropics,
making It possible to explaln^he^
lstence of reptiles of such huge size
ail the Atlantoaaurus and the Dlptodo-.
"us and the flight of such heavy rep
tiles as the Pterodactyls. It seems^In

Greek Ancona.
An cod a, ancient t?ort of the Adri
atic, built by the Greeks of Syracuse
about .380 B. C., is just the place
where finds, such as are announced,
might be expected. The very name
Ancona Is the Greek word for elbow,
given to the port because of the shape
of Its harbor. And now, after cen
turies, peasants In the fields have
come across some wonderful painted
vases dating from the grand age of
Greek art. Escaping the destruction
Inflicted by the Goths an/1 the Longa
bards, these treasures had lain burled
In .the earth until the shovel of a
peasant brought them to light. An
cona Is as Important now as she ever
was, having been during the great
war, thp base of the Italian navy. She
has had her accommodation enlarged
within the last few months by the
building of a quay which has been
given the name of Cajftaln Pryatt.
Dye From 8orghum Watte.
The discovery of a new dyestufT In
sorghum waste Is announced to the
French academy of sciences as of
much Importance. From the husks of
sweet sorghum and those of sorghum
with black seeds the coloring gum Is
obtained; it is stated to have many
very fine shades of color, ranging from
pink to bright red, salmon, scarlet,
pearl gray, dark gray, dark brown, and
khaki. The colors are described as
suitable for wool, silk, leather and
vegetable fibers, and for such mate
rials are -pronounced proof against
sunlight and washing with soap. , -
Want Mud Guards on Autos.
An effort Is being made In Paria to
require all automoMles, and especial
ly motortruck*, to be fitted with fend
em which shall prevent the splashln*
of pedestrians with mud. M. George*
Lemarchand, as reported by the Pari*
correspondent of the American Med
ical association, tells the authorities
that these aplashes not only damage
clotMn* so expensive at this time
but also constitute s menace from the
hygienic standpoint.

Had to LooK the Part.
A perpetually unshaven fellow who
runs a uews stand near the winter
garden was haled Into court the other
day for some trlval charge. He plead*
ed his own case and was dimnlssed.
The magstrate waa Interested In his
excellent address and his knowledge
of the law. He explained that he had
been admitted to the bar and was a
graduate of a big eastern college. "I
could only make $1,000 a year with
my law," he said, "and I make about
$12,000 a year selling newspapers. It
may surprise you to see how unkempt
I am, but It is business psychology.

Taking the Sting Out.
"It seems to me," said the old-fash

to pay for a ready made suit of

"Perhaps it is," replied the pur
chaser, "but the salesman made the
transaction as painless for me as pos
sible."
"How 80?"
"He told me the same suit would
probably cost $1Q0 next year."?Bir

"Having a Pull!"
Haven't you, time a net again, heard someone say
of a man or woman who had reached tin' top of busi

and the thing that helped him climb upward was Pur
