Sian to "change the climate" of rm Africa and termed it "a oan idea," ay Btaman, y t contemplates cut- ting of several short canals from the Mediterranean to dry sea beds below ocean level in Northern Af- rica which would be converted into salt lakes with an area of more than 60,000 square miles, That is greater than the area of the state of New York. These lakes would have an average depth of 70 feet, afford wa- ter communication for ocean-going vessels, and, in Braman's opinion, change the climate of a great arid territory in Northern Africa. By means of dykes and dams, Bra. man says, it would be possible to store water necessary for great ir- Tigation projects. Furthermore, much of the desert is underlaid with water currents at a shallow depth which could be utilized for intensive agri- -- ulture, thus making t African .

French officials in the various col onies which would be affected by the creation of new i seas are in- vestigating the attitude of tribesmen toward a plan to remake northern Africa, Lake beds, similar to that of the once dry Salton Sea in California, which lies below sea level and was flooded by the escape of the Color- ado River through irrigation chan- nels, exist in Algeria and Tunisia and canals cut from the Mediterranean and the gulf of Gabes would link these with the Mediterranean and world commerce, Shott Melrir and Shott Jerid are the largest of the lake beds below sea level. Can- als with an average length of 45 miles would flood these areas, Bra- man says. Another canal would sub- merge a large area in Tripoli, By this means the narrow strip along the Mediterranean which is cooled by the sea would be extended far in- land, the engineer declares.
