Dr. Lenz. in a receut lecture at Paris on his journey from Paris to Timbuc- too, has been correcting some of the generally received notions as to the condition of Sahara. It really forms a great plateau, about 81,100 feet above the level of the Atlantic. In no part of this plateau is there to be found that depression below the level of the ocean wbiclrfs shown on the maps of certain geographers, and which has led to wild schemes of converting the Sahara into a great inland sea. More­ over, the Sahara is not one dead sandy level, but really varied in its aspect. Rocks are succeeded by sandy plains, here and there are oases covered with alta grass, and stagnant, shallow sheets of water. The fresli water fossils, wliicji are met with in many parts, show that the Sahara is not the bot­ tom of a dried up sea. Again the temperature is not nearly as hot as mlgUt be expected. In short the Sa­ hara is not so l>a<l as it has been called; W W beasts are rare and the uiosfc ior inidable enemies to be met with are the Touraeg tribes, who according to report, recently massacred the French » Trans-Saharan Expedition. AB to Timbtictoo, Dr. Lenz found he had to traverse a great space covered with ruin* before he could reach the inhab _ ; • Ited part. There are now only 20,000 Inhabitants, but many schools and rich libraries.--New York Sun. RICHMOND, ILL. JUST RECEIVED -AT- Maiman's HOUSE, AT WAUCONDA.
