The “Kmnitlii" of the Saliarx

As to the stories told of this great de«-

nccled with them that it is difficult to de-
(iili wliat is true, and what is falsi*.
entitic research has proved that there
;i n uo serpents there “whose numbers and
v.iiom impede the progress of large
armies;” that there was no **pestilential
l,last that killed as soon as it struck;" that
ihr whir;winds of sands were not sudi-
, irntly severe to bury vast hordes of men
and “innumerable caravans. ”
Hut quite enough remains to make us
reali/.c that the great desert is one of the
most inhospitable and barren places in the

ma !c the wor d what it now is. the desert
was a part of the bed of the sea, it
bring now very little higher than the level
of the sea. It is never visited by rain,
and exhales no moisture. The kumsin or
hot winds that sweep over it, all hough
wcvere. are much exaggerated, ma» blow
from the south and southwest, and since
the ground over which they blow is
si orcued by an almost vertical sun, the
brat is intense. Its elFect is to cause; tho
muscles to relax and make respiration di.H-

exaggeration represents. ”

We are oftentimes puzzled to know
le tlier the man is deserving, poor, and J
-a tiling to work, or whether he. is an idle j
mendicant, bumming for existence. If j

this is the way it works; the fraud
