A—12 FNBING OF 0AS NDW POSSBLTY Expedition to Lybian Desert Narrows Area for “Lost” City of Zarzura. By the'Assoclated Press. CAIRO, December 26.—Discovery of & “lost” oasis, provided it exists at all, has come within the realm of possibility through the findings of an expedition headed by Maj. Bagnolds, wmnrl_lt has returned from the Lybian Sir Ahmed Hassanein Bey in 1923 discovered Arkenu and Owenat, till then only known to the natives and never before located. Tradition has it, however, that there still is a third oasis, “Zarzura,” round which a veritable circle of legends clusters. An Arabic manuscript of the fif- teenth century, entitled “The Book of thé Lost Pearls,” relates: “This city of ‘Zarzura is as white as a dove and on its gate a bird is carved. With your hand place the key into the beak of the dove, then open the city's gate. Enter and you will find great treasures and the King and Queen asieep in their palace. Do not go near them, but gather up the treasures.” In the past century European ex- plorers spoke about the existence of Zarzura, based on statements of Arabs, but within the past few years several of ‘them began to think it a legend. Sir Ahmed Hassanein Bey himself, as well as Dr. Bell, the director of desert surveys in Egypt, incline toward the latter view, but they are prepared to credit the existence of oases in the Lybian Desert, to which no Europeans haye yet penetrated. Maj. Bagnold's expedition has now achieved results tending to narrow down the area in which Zarzura is to e sought.

CHICAGO, December 26.—The de- stroying forces of nature in 1930 struck hardest at the broad valley of the Mis- sissippi and Great Lakes. Killing heat and cold waves battered the Midwest tier of States, claiming many human lives. The Nation's worst drought seared the land. Crop and prop- erty losses approximated a billion dol- lars.

Hundreds of fires flamed over the Upper Michigan peninsula and spread into Wisconsin. Only favorable winds halted widespread destruction. The Wisconsin Conservation Commis- sion said it was the greatest potential fire danger in several decades. ‘Tornadoes howled frequently over the area. There were 22 cyclonic disturb- ances in Kansas alone, greatest number on record. Wisconsin had 14.
