It is quite probable that most of the demands or stoptly exprosed wishes of the tative chiefs NOT bereby give of the Corpora

be acceded to without loss of diguity on the part of the German Government. For in- stance, nothing would be easier than to publish a statement showing the receipts and disburse. ments of the administration, and giving every particular. Such statement is already publish"| ed-in Germany, and is accessible to Inquirere. There is no reason why it should not be publish- edla Samon with more complete details if ask -ed-for nor is there any reason why a small number of chiefs might not be constituted into a sort of advisory council. Whether this

Flour to those

From the sea to the Hamada el Homra, the once inhabited country' between Fezrin and the coast, the progress of the desert could be seen all along the route in its various stages. I dature was allowed to continue her work unhindered-as doring the last few centuries- the country would soon, became absolute de sert. Though the climate had scarcely changed, rains were limited to a shorter period, and' while more violent while they lasted, their areas bad been greatly reduced. One could see disappearing cases in every stage of neglect throughout Ferzan, and nothing stop the ultimate triumph of the desert unless the authorities could find means to repopulate the land. The oasis and village of Misda, once. famous for its fertility, had became a collection of tumbledown hovels, and a few sad-looking palm trees remained of all the former gardens. It had not rained at Misda for 12 years, and the water level had sunk so far below the surface that the palm trees could not reach it.

The people passing along the road-Arabi, Beibers, and negroes-all bore the impress. of the cruel country that surrounded and forced them to fight for their very existence. THE "ROMANTIC "TUARED.

Mr. Vischer takes the romance away from the Tonicks-or Tuaregs--those veiled pirates of the desert so useful to the novelist. Since the time of Daveyrier, says the traveller, the Tuarek has been regarded as the knight of the Sabara, but the Tuarek does not even know what honour is. He will never attack, except at night and when in superior nombor.

It is their curious social life which forces the Tuarek to raid caravans. All the property is in the hands of the women, and before he can marry a Tarek must pay-a large sum to the bride and her mother. The only way to get the necessary wealth' is a successful raid, for bis ordinary occupation of camel farming and carrying lands for the tradere brings him bard. ly enough profit to live by.
