However, in any discussion of this interesting question, it must be borne in mind that, since by far the greater part of the Sahara is from seventy feet to more than a mile in elevation above ocean level, and that those tracts that lie below ocean level are chiefly valleys between the hills and mountains or the basins of ancient lakes never very extensive in area, a Sahara sea would consist only of an exceedingly irregular body of water cortaining many islands and extend- ing into the unflooded districts in a multitude of bays and coves. It would be considerably less than one-third the size of the Mediterranean. And now there recurs the question of the possible physical influences of such a ea. Area of 250,000 Square Miles. If the Sahara sea should have an entire area of 2f 700 square miles, with a meen ¢ of 200 feet—and both estimate ‘merous—it would contain abou! fiv of water. \ the canal were cut to the no of Africa or to the west, the would be grad- ual and the level ot the Atlantic would be speedily re-established.

Across this goes the sash, not at the waistlina, but helow the hips, andithe whole affect is quite slim and girlish, The biack satin model that is made in this manner has its sash lined with white satin and run through a three- inch loop of the n.aterial in front, just above the walistline.
