The Kamchatkan peninsula and the Siberian country botweeu It and the Arctic ocean have attracted Interna tional attention since tho report of its lease to a syndicate of Americans for the development of Its natural re sources. This region Is a sort of half sister to Alaska, which was also oncp Russian territory. Alaska, the mora comely sister, fared forth, so to speak, was sold Into the family of the wealthy Uncle Sam, and has had u life rich In excitement and adventure. Kamchatka, the more homely Bister, remained under the Rus sian rooftrcc on the west side of Bering sea, and has lived In seclusion. Kamchatka and tho country north to Bering strait contain a large area of tundra or Arctic plains; soft, spongy morasses during tho few months of summer; frozen, snow-covered wastes In winter. In the higher lnnd Impene trable underbrush springs up In sum mer. What little travel is possible ut this season Is done on the backs of sturdy ponies who must wade ut? tho shallow streams or plod through the sticky swamps. In winter travel Is easy. Teams of dogs and reindeer whisk laden sledges 6ver the frozen surface of the streams and across tho snow of the tundra at a rate, under favorable circumstances, of 75 miles or more a day. Trails that are virtu ally highways .are beaten down by the teams of the natives bringing their furs the chief present resources of the country to the trading posts. In the summer the curse of the moist regions of the north strikes the Kamchatkan country; swarms of mosquitoes and files thicken tho air and make life miserable for all liv ing things. The nomadic natives fleo with their herds of reindeer to the sea coast, where the breezes give some re lief. Though the climate of Kamchutka Is rigorous, a Westerner Is likely to con sider the food of the country more so. Bowls of boiled fishes' eyes are the most popular delicacy In the lower peninsula where the silver hordes of salmon run up most of the streams. To the north reindeer meat In some form Is the universal piece de resist ance, tho tongues and marrow bones being prized In particular. "Cold storage" eggs contribute to Kamchatka's tables. The eggs are obtained from the nests of gulls and other wild fowls and nre burled In pits on the frosty north side of a hill until needed. Frozen berries also eke out the winter fare. "Soup balls," carried by winter trav elers, are likely to prove a compensa tion to western palates. They are small balls of reindeer "sausage" sur rounded by a crust of dough, the whole about the size of an English walnut. These balls freeze nnd are carried In bags like marbles. A handful dropped Into a kettle of boiling water produces within a few minutes a delectable and sustaining dish. The Kamchntknn peninsula proper Ib about 7W) miles In length, nnd the distance from Its roots to Bering strait Is an equal distance. Kam chatkn lies In the same latitude ns the British Isles, while tho country north to the Arctic ocean is in the latitude of Norwoy., The Kamchatka region is bathed by cold arctic currents Instead of the warm Gulf strenm, nnd Its cli mate Is therefore, much colder than that of Britain and Scandinavia. KOBE, OSAKA AND YOKOHAMA. Eastern questions will hereafter be come for many members of congress more realistic and understandable and therefore sympathetically treated, since their visit to the commercial cit ies of Japan during their trip through the Orient. Kobe, Osaka and Yokohama proudly displayed for American observation their busy fuctorles with their Inter esting products, and bustling docks where junks plying Inland waters and foreign-hound steamers are gorging and disgorging freight. The busy city of Kobe may be en tered after a charming trip through the Inland sea, that picturesque land locked basin with four channels to the outer sea, a fairyland of islands covered with temples nnd trees which I9 famous In Japanese song and story Ono writer has called It the Gem of the World. Certainly It Is one of the most beautiful sea routes In the world Kobe, with Its 2,741 acres of excel lent harbor, which In modern, up-to-date fashion has been divided syste matically into sections for Junks, mer chant vessels and for dreadnnughts of the Japanese navy, is the most nt tractive of the treaty ports, and has within the last few years shot ahead of Yokohama In the volume of Its com mercc, its totnl trade being about 40 per cent of the whole trade of the conntry. It ships copper, rice, straw hemp, chip braids for lints, mattings, camphor, tea and cotton yarn, and yearly enough passengers land on Its docks to make a city the size of Se attle, Kansas City or Providence, This port, which Is now so attrac tlvely situated on tho hill slopes run ning down to tho sen, wns merely 0 group of fishing huts nbout fifty years ago when It wns first opened to for eign commerce. Osaka, which has been styled be cause of Its numerous finals nnd bridges, tho Venice of the. Hast, Is ono of tho three Imperlnl cities, nnd has n population of a million. Here Is located the Japanese mint, cover ing 40 acres, a shipyard having n 1,- 000-foot frontage, nnd important fac tories which make cotton cloth, glass, Iron nnd steel products, boots and shoes, matches nnd tobacco products. Most of the trade of Osakn, however, since the harbor Is unsultcd for large vessels, Is with the Interior. Japan's other Important port, Yo kohama, was where Commodore Perry first entered the country In 18T4. As the ship steams out from the city and the picturesque little towns about the harbor fade Into the hnze, the mnjes tie form of Fujiyama, the sacred mountain still towers In the distance. For those who have climbed Its rugged height In the dnrk before dawn to see the sun rise In splendor over Its rim nnd have peered Into tho crater of tho old volcano, tho picture is one they will bo glad to bring home with them In their hearts. GUATEMALA: LAND OF UPHEAVALS AND PROGRESS. A condition of upheaval, not neces sarily from polltlcnl entities, Is noth ing now to the republic of Guatemala. This country has wonderfully rich and fertile soil nnd Its climate rarely Is equaled. Tho city of Guntemnla, which Is now pnrtlally rebuilt, wns the scene of one of the most violent earthquakes known in Central American history. This earthquake extended over several months during tho latter jtnrt of 1017 and the enrly months of 1018. It be gan November 17, 1017. On Christ mas night In the pnrks of the city, beneath a full moon In an untroubled sky, the. populace huddled watching In fear nnd misery their homes, the trees, and the earth as well, creep, writhe and twist On tho night of Jnnunry 24, the moon again beamed from a cloudless sky upon these people ns they saw nearly every remnlnlng edlflce In their city tumble In whirlwinds of dust. The tremors seemed to center under the very city Itself, nnd spectators have said that they-feared that the earth would give away and n volcano form In the very heart of the city. Houses und bell towers crumbled, wa ter mains were broken, the sewage oozed up In the streets nnd, In the cemeteries, skeleton were shaken out tt their coffins. One can take a steamer from New Orleans and In three days reach Puer? to Barrios, on the Gulf of Amntlque, along tho sunny eastern shores of tho country, wliere stately palms wave In greeting. Along this seaconst arid farther In land large bannnn plantations cover thousands of acres. This one compar atively small country raises for Its own nnd the outside world's consump tion nbout ten million bunches of bn nnnns a year. The valley of the Mo tagua river is considered one of tho most densely vegetnted regions of tho world. But the most Important crop of tho ntnte Is coffee. In 1018 Guatemala produced about one hundred und ten million pounds of coffee, more than seventy million pounds of which were exported to the United States. In the mountains of southwestern Guntemnla live pure-blooded Indinns who have won ndmlration of travel ers for their physique, cleanliness and Scrupulous honesty. One visitor tells if trying to buy a ring from an In dian girl, who refused to sell because die Jewel wns not pure gold, nnd she Aid not . wish to sell a stranger un Imitation 1 These Indinns wenr beautiful shnwls with no fringes, dyed In brilliant col ,trs.

Zara, where Gabriele d'Annunzlo landed troops to strengthen his posi tion at Flume, Is ceded to Italy under the terms of the Ilnpallo agreement between Italy and Jugo-Slnvla. This city, noted for Its churches nnd Its mnraschlno, Is described In a communl cation to the Nntlonnl Geographic so ciety by Kenneth McKenzle as fol lows : "Starting from Flume, one f-nlls down the channel called Quurnerolo, leaving Istrla and the Gulf of Quar- nero to the right. The Island of Arbe, about hnlf way to Zara, bus an old ca thedral with a Twelfth-century tower, Coming from Trieste, one skirts the western shore of Istrla, stopping per Imps nt Rovlgno and nt Pola. The stay of an hour enables one to g't n hurried glimpso of the great am phi theater and other Roman remains of Pola, under Austrlnn rule, an Impor tant naynl station nnd strongly fortl fled, The lnnguuge here Is chiefly Italian. Istrla would well repny the time devoted to a trip of several days; hut we pass on, stopping at one or two of the iRlnndK, to Znrn, the most northerly town of Importance In DnI nmtlu. ' "Znrn Is noted all over the world for Its maraschino, Aside from this, however, the town has mnny nttrnc tlons to offer. On landing from the steamer In the land-locked harbor, we find ourselves In front of u gate In tho town wall. Over tho gate Is the winged llorr of St Mark, often met with hero nnd elsewhcro In Dal nfntln, nnd a symbol of tho former do- mtulon of tho republic of Venice. Passing through the gate, we enter tho narrow paved streets of a typical Ital ian city, such ns wo may Imnglno It to hnvo been two or threo centuries ago, except that the hotels are moro comfortnble. Thcro nro many medieval churches In tho town, Interesting architecturally, and containing works of nrt The cathedral in particular, a majestic Itomnncsquo church, Is richly ndorncd outside with many ar cades of little columns and Inside with mnrbles nnd paintings. It Is In the best Italian style of the Mlddlo Ages. Its cnmpnnllo Is a lundmnrk. "Wandering among tho narrow streets, wo come upon several open squares and mnrkct places, where In tho morning scores of peasants may bo seen In their brilliant-colored cos tumes. There nro Roman remains, too columns and stntues. "Leaving Znrn, tho Bteamcr comos out of the hnrbor, encircles tho point of land on which tho city stands, nnd skirts low-lying shores, passing amonB Innumerable Islands. All at once n narrow opening appears; wo go through It, and find ourselves In tho spacious harbor of Sebenlco, with tho town rising from tho water to a fort crowning the hill." A ONE-MAN FLAG THE PRESIDENT'S. Most folk know of some of tho per quisites that will aceruo to tho next President of the United Stntes, such as a bnnd which Is at his disposal tho Marine bnnd nnd tho White House conservatories which provide tho first lndy of the land with flowers, but It Is not so generally known that one of the honors bestowed upon tho chief executive Is n special Hag. Tills flag Is not seen frequently. It does not llont over tho White House. Its uso Is reserved, for tho most part, for occasions when the President ap pears In his cx-ofilclo capacity as com mander in chief of the army and tho navy. The President's flag consists of tho coat-of-nrms as they appear on the President's seal, against a blue back ground, nnd flnnkcd by fouc stars. Its history and use nre described In tho monograph on "Flags of tho World" of the Nntlonnl Geographic society as follows : When the President visits a vessel of Ununited States, the President' flag is broken nt the mnin the mo ment ho rcuches the deck, and la kept flying as long as ho Is on board. If the vessel can do so, n national sa lute of 21 guns Is fired ns soon as possible nftcr his arrival on board. Upon departure, another salute of 21 guns is fired, tho President's flag be ing lowered with the last gun of tho salute. When the President Is cmbnrked In a boat ho usually directs that his flag be dlsplayed'from the staff In tho bow of his bnrge. When he passes In n boat flying his flag, vessels of the nnvy parade the full guard, four ruffles ore given on tho drum, four flourishes nre sounded on the bugle, the National Anthem Is played by the band, and officers nnd men salute. When the President Is embarked In n ship flying his flag, all saluting ships, on meeting her nt sea or elsewhere, and all naval batteries, fire a nntlonnl salute on passing. Previous to tho present order there were two designs displayed on flags and on colors to be used In th4 presence of the commander In chief of tho army and tho nnvy. Tho nnvy design was of an earlier data than that of the army, and consisted of tiro coat-of-arms of the United Stntes, ns shown in the Great Seal, upon a blue ground. This happened to bo almost Identical with the infnntry colors. The President's colors were designed to be distinctive from the Infnntry colors, nnd consisted of a blue ground with a large crimson star, outlined heavily with white. Within tho star was to be seen tho coat-of-arms of the United States, and outside the star within Its angles were powdered small stars to the number of states In the Union. Can Can. All the world before long will be canning American style, If the present rate of progress keeps up. LaBt yeur France nsked the loan of soino can ning specialists from the United States Department of Agriculture to tench them the purely American art of home canning. TJie results were so gratifying thnt tho same group were asked to return this yenr to give further Instruction. They went, nnd their work everywhere In Franco wns attended with gratifying results. The director general of ogrlculturo In the little duchy of Luxemburg henr lng of tho method of preserving fruits und vegetables being taught tho French, asked If the American canning experts could be lent to Luxemburg when they were through In France. This was arranged, nnd the first two weeks In September found the Ameri cans tenchlng In Luxemburg how to cun nnd dry garden products nnd how to can meat nnd fish. From Luxemburg tho demonstrators went to Holland where at Amstordnm and other places a series of lectures were given. At tho request of tho BrltlHh Department of Agriculture, the entitling specialists then went to Eiiglund nnd gavo dem onstrntloiiH before the English Instl tuto workers. One group is now In Denmnrk and another In Egypt. Wher ever Amcrlcnr canning methods nre taught the response und appreciation is most gratifying. Aspirir Then it is Genuine Warning!
