SAHARA,
It has been reportail that the Prime Minister of France bus come forward with a soheme for making a new inland sea in Northern Afrium, and that it is now under the consliteration of a committee appointed to inquire inte its prastt. cability and expediency. The proposal is to gat through an isthmus at Gabes, ez the coast of Tanis, and thus let in the Mediterranean to what is known as the Algerian Sabars. The cost is estimated at about 60 millions of francs, for which sum resolution could be effected in the climatic conditions of vast tracts of load now: good for nothing, and at the same time water communication would be opened up for a vonai.. derable distance into the country to the soath of Algeria. It would also have train important political effecta.
