The Conquest of the Sahara, the Desert giving up its Secrets, Months of Careful Planning and Preparation,--and five earnest-faced Frenchmen sitting stiffly at the wheels of their caterpillars, staring straight ahead and bumping over the sand at ten miles an hour.

Tickets were soon at a premium; these, let me add, were the small bone chips which we have gathered in large numbers from the ruins. In time, the income from this source alone was sufficient to maintain the whole institution...
