Show The Sahara The true Sahara is u great desert that stretches, a bare and 'dead world of its own, all across Africa. A strange world it is, for it has mountains, moun-tains, valleys and plains like the living liv-ing world, save that nothing grows to cover the bare ribs of the earth, and nothing moves but the great winds. and now and then the wandering Arabs. The desert Is of four sorts, the rock desert, the desert of dry salt lake beds, the desert of flat sand tied down by sage and cactus, and the desert of the moving dunes of sand. Eunice Tietjens, in Child Life Magazine. |
