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

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
