Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 11, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Turning the Atlantic into 8a1mru. This is an ago of Gigantic projects. Tho Suez Cinal the Hoot Conis Tun Nel and other works of human skill and boldness have each in turn had their Era of admiration and present attention is divided Between the for Mak ing a Honnol Between France and eng land under the Stormy Straits and that for turning the Groat do sort of Sahara into an Arm of the sea. The latter whose Conception is attributed to 31 do has been brought prominently to notice through a meeting to consider it held in London recently and presided Over by the lord mayor. Wonderful As May the idea of flooding this vast desert which stretches across the african continent a length of Over two thousand Miles with a breadth from North to South of from six to eight Hun dred the method by which it is proposed to be done a simplicity . The theory is that these arid wastes were once an immense Gulf communicating with the Atlantic Ocean by moans of a narrow Strait that in course of time this Strait became chocked up with Sand turning the Gulf into u vast Inland Lake Whoso Waters Cut off from replenish ment wore gradually evaporated by the hot Sun till nothing but a vast expanse of Sand was left. Now to restore this desert to its Pristine condition of a Groat Arm of the sea it is asserted that All that is required id the cutting of a Ca Nal of about six Miles in length Inland from the Point on the West coast of of rift opposite the Canary is lands where Tho ancient Strait is sup posed to have existed by which moans the Waters of Tho. Ocean would Rush in and till the whole desert Whoso surface is said to to much below the sea level. Tho effect of such u change on the Geo graphical features of Africa May Boim gained and hero is no. Doubt of the immense benefits that would result from it. It would open up easy communication with the Interior of this great continent and Render it accessible to Tho Effort s of and com Merce. Tho lord mayor Laid particular stress on Tho fact that it would bean effectual Means of bringing about the abolition of slavery which could not Long survive Contact with civilization and Progress. It. Is estimated that at present the caravans which pursue their toilsome Way Over this vast desert carry less than three millions Sterling of British goods but Yvere ships substituted for camels this amount could be largely increased in View of such re sults of cutting Thi Ough of six Miles of a canal scorns a Moro trifle which might easily be defrayed after wards and a handsome return Orv it secured by Tollson vessels passing through it. What the expense will to May soon to Learned after proper surveys and observations have been made. It is to to supposed that Long notice would be Given to Tho travellers Over these burning Sands of when this great letting in of the Waters might be expected. It will be no Mirage then. The inhabitants of Tho various oases would also be interested to know if those places would remain islands under Tho new condition of things.
