Bjr John F.vnns (Associated Press Staff Writer) PARIS. (JF A subway across th oS.nhara desert Is being seriously , considered MonK with the project j for a tunnel undor the English I channel and the BpanUh dream of a floating bridge or tunnel to span the Strait of Gibraltar. Fantastic an it sou n da and high as would be the Initial cost, no toher satisfac tory method of rapid transit across the shifting sandti has been offered. France is determined to run n railroad across the Sahara, for both economic and military rea eons. Parliament has ordered n thorough Investigation of the prob lem and a technical commission ui-, rcudy has begun a study that ma require a year or more. lnfor- j lunately. If the Idea is good, it? execution presents difficulties. . I For six years there have been i occasional automobile expeditions i across the desert, but that form of . travel is rejected as absolutely In-1 adequate. For one thing. It Is con- i sidered Impossible to- transport; troops rapidly In that way. - I As for a railroad, the problem is to find some means of keepfn; the rails clear of sand. The Hahara is not all a dry sen of sand. There j are vast s'retches of barren, rocky; or pebbled seurfaco where It Is ' practicable to make a solid right of way for a railroad. There are, j however, at least 125 miles where' the shifting saudH are quite as vol atile as poets and travelers have j pictured them, where a clear hard t road is obliterated In a few hours.! where hills of sand block the way j in tho morning and by night ar j blown off and a hollow bored by; the steady blast of a hot wind. 1 Some engineers have told the j commission the only way to keep I the sand In place would bo to pl'int I vegetation, but that would require' 'water, which Is not there. Prob- ably, too, the seeds would be blown away before they took root, so that j 'yj . "mi 3i ir O 5 iJ I ? ? v S;if 5) . When an itssex stock coach left San Fran cisco sealed in high gear, and with hood and radiator so sealed that it was impossible to touch the engine or to add oil or water, on a round trip test to the Canadian border, south to the Mexican line and back to San Fran cisco, the odds were heavy against it com pleting the run'. It made the 3493-mile test successfully on the one filling of oil and water, going over all the numerous moun tain grades in high gear, returning to San Francisco with the svmboled seals intact.

The German artificial nltrogon industry today produces about 20 different varieties of artificial fer tilizers, adapted to nU kinds of soil and climatic conditions. Tho world production for I92S is computed ut l,SO0i000 Ions, estimated to rise by IU30 to 2.200.000 tons, while the consumption is figured nt 1,700, 000 tons, with an annual rise of 7 y per cent.
