THE DESERT OF SAHARA.

It has been ascertained that the greater part of the Desert of Sahara, instead of being below the level of the ocean, is from 6,000 feet to 8,000 feet above that level. The desert is not rainless, but showers cover it with grass for a few weeks every year, and large flocks and herds are maintained upon its borders. The oases are depressions in which water can be collected and stored.—Engineering, London.
