Show Where Rain Is Unknown. There is at least one spot where rain has never been known to fall, if we may trust to statistics. Between the two lower falls of the River Nile there is nothing to show that the soil has even been blessed with a fall of rain. It is known as the dryest spot on the earth and that not without reason. When a traveler tells the natives about the wonderful rainstorms he has seen elsewhere they immediately put him down as a charter member of the Ananias club. They positively refuse to believe that the clouds can weep. |
