One traveler has described the road bed along this segment over which tho luxurious Orient Kxproas used to make IIh soinl-wookly trip from Paris to Constantinople, as the worst In tho world ; und tho mountain scenery us the lluest. t'robnbly both statements were exaggerated, lint the ravines, boulderti ami torrential streams of the Nlshavn itlver reKloti, Just before tliu railway crosses tho Utilitarian fron- tier, are comparable with the Alps and comet lines MigKOHt our own Orand Canyon ickIoii In mliilutire. 'I'sarlbrod Is Inconsplfiious. It shel ters n population of only n few thou sand. It lias the Inevitable ens tie. which still seeniH to keep a frownlnt; Itunrd' over red-roofed houses. Signif icantly. In view of the economic life ot Uulpnrla, and ttio recent marked preponderance of agrarian represen tation In the government, each house lias its pinlen. After tho Orient Kxpress passes tho border line It traverses the Sllvnltza battlefield, the Hunker Hill of Uul Kiirla; and the ilrst Important city aftt Solla Is rhlllppopolls, ip the vi cinity of which one of the 1 world's most esthetic Industries Is established that ot cultivating rose gardens to distill attar of roses. , At I'hlllppopolls, under pressure of expected attacks from Turkey, I'rjnee Alexander was Installed ns tho head of the newly united Bulgarian states In 188.", Unexpectedly It was Serbia, not Turkey, which made the move In protest ngalnst tho union with eastern Iltimella. The Serbian forces mobil ized In the Nlshava valley; tho Bul garian nrmy was far away. Hence n famous order, which resulted In the making of military history, to com manders of Uulgar units to hasten to Sllvnltza. The speed with which tho troops were moved, In this helter-skelter fashion, was remarkable. Their i movement was acceiernieu ny orders to citizens to lurnisn supplies as tney passed. The advance held tho Serbian forces, which were headed for Sofia, or Sllvnltza. Whon reinforcements ar rived the enemy was defeated. The Serbian armistice proposal was pre sented at Tsurlbrod. This incident gave Bulgaria a sense of national unity nnd prowess which mny bo coin pared to that which Japan attained by her defeat of the Russians. WHY LIGHTHOUSES WON'T "STAY PUT" Long agitation to wivo Baruegnt Light from removal, and announce ment that Jetties will be built to pro servo the historic beacon, give a hint ot the extreme variability of coast lines and conditions. "A survey of the coust of New Jer sey shows strikingly tho results that are wrought upon a shoreline by tho wind and the waves," writes John OH ver LaQorce to the National Geo graphic society. , v "Tho beaches for the most part are being driven back by the sea, hut the harbors, which were accessible, to coasters quite within the memory of men now living, are being closed by the traveling drift, Just as most of the mouths (of the streams emptying into the ocean have been closed. "In a description ot tho Jersey coast, published In 1870, it was stated that, prior to the war of 1812, Old Cran berry Inlet was one of tho best an chorages on the coast, and It afforded u safe harbor for American privateers on the Uiokout for British ships dur ing the Revolution. it opened one night by the angry sen breaking across the beach, and during tho laut year of Its existence as a harbor tho whole channel drifted nearly u mllo to the northward. Its closure, about ISi'-', caused so much Inconvenience that, In IStit, ono Michael Ortley at tempted to cut a new Inlet ,noar tho head of Barnegat Bay, With the as sistance of others, It was finally fin ished; but tho following morning, to tho nninzonicn of the voluntary work, ers, It had closed up again. Later an other effort was made to effect tho wiine thing lower down tho bay. The cut was completed July 4, 1847, tho work being done by several hundred men under Anthony Ivens, Jr. The water was let In, but It filled up al most as quickly as the Ortley cut, so relentlessly was the sea s war carried on. "A survey at Atlantic City, In 1803, revenled the fact that In tho course of but a few years the shore at Maine avenue bud lost 70 acre. True, most of this material was deposited In tho loe of the point extpndlng from New Jersey to Ohio avenues, causing an advance of (Tie beach lines at Bonn- Hylvanla avenue of nbout 1,000 foot and lidding to this part of tho plat some r.( rcres, nU In ttio brief spaco of ' I mm I". This transfer of prop erty from one rtparlnn owner to an other without consideration Is not pro vided for In the statutes, but might properly bo regarded ns Inequitable, especially to the original owner. How ever, no one has yet gone Into court for nn Injunction ngnlnst the ma (or thus robbing Peter to pay Paul. ."When the lighthouse nt Atlantic City was threatened, In 1878, the United States challenged the sea by the construction of a Jotty at tho head of Atlantic avenue. Thus was lnniigu rafed n sorles of defensive works, which 1inve been continued from time to time by Individuals, srt that 82 nihil, tlonnl acres have been reclaimed from the sea to the great benefit of the city, as well as to that of the rtparlnn own ers; but they had to fight hnrd for every Inch.'1 SAVING THE ELK A eli(!ck;tip of the elk In Yellowstone National p'ark, last stronghold of these largest members of the deer family, shows a dlscouraglngly small number there, and It Is now feared that many , more have perished than had been thought. The elk's existence depends niion his freedom to wander from the highland snows to the shelter and for age of tho valleys below. Karly bliz zards drive him outside the protection of the national reservation Into the midst of tho open season for hunting In the two adjacent states. The southern herds follow the riv ers, which How out of Yellowstone, In all directions, to the famous Jack'son Hole country, once the hnunt of ban dits and cattle thieves, where human life now is safe but where the Influx of civilization spells death for the elk. The northern herds when driven by Miowstoniis usually descend Into tho Montana borderlands where settle ments have Hung n barrier for wild animals across the edge of the park. Wholesale shooting of the elk has. been the first consequence In the past. Much of this shooting, according to reports received in Washington, does little credit to sportsmanship. Some mnrksnien have not troubled to follow and capture anlmals,tbey have wound ed. Their sheltered life In tho nation al reservation has mndo the elk tamo ; and they wander Into ninny n back yard to find unexpected enemies. But this shooting does not mark tho cllmnx of the tragedy. As noted, the settlements have cut off the grazing lnnds. There Is some provision for tin southern herds, though woefully inadequate, but practically none for the northern herds. Tho protection afforded tho elk which stray Into Wyoming Is that of tho state game preserves, known as tho Hoodoo, Shoshone nnd Teton. Further protection Is that afforded In n limited way by the winter elk rcfugo at Jackson, Wyo founded by the bio logical survey. Thero hay is raised for feeding tho elk, but sojne seasons far from enough has been on hand for tho feeding of tho thousands forced out of tho park, and oven out of the reservations, by the enrly winter. In ordinnry and mild winters such as tho present one tho nnlmnls remnln in the park; in more severe winters, when the cold and snows come late,, the preserves and the refuge have taken enro of many of them. 6 SPANISH MOROCCO Spanish troops, according to recent newspaper dispatches, have carried out Important operations In tho Span ish zone in northern Morocco. In strengthening Its mllltnry bold nnd ex tending Its civil government In north ern Morocco, Spain Is turning the tables of history squarely about. For It was from this country that the Moors and Arabs swarmed across the Straits of Gibraltar in the year 711 and placed Spain under a Mohamme dan domination, the last vestiges of which wore finally removed only In tho year In wlilch Columbus discov ered America. This Spunlsh Moroccnn zone Is the pedestal ot tho southern of the two A Moroccan Type. "Pillars of Hercules," which for long centuries wero tho western portals of tho known world. It is pnrt of the Mauretanlu of the Uomnns, ono of their granaries when the emplro wns at Its greatest. It was the country of tho Burbary pirates who harassed the shipping of tho world for centuries, collecting tribute from mnny govern ments, and In whose suppression tho Infant United States navy cut Its llrst post-ltevolutlonary war teeth In tho early part of the Nineteenth century. It Is now pnrt of Morocco, which In ninny ways preserves more truly than any other Mohammedan country the flavor ot the "Arabian Nights." Spain, lying only a few miles north of the northern shores of Morocco, was naturally one of the first of tho modern nations of Kurope to gain a foothold In flint country., Melllla, a seacoast town near the northeastern corner of Morocco, came Into the pos session of Spain In 1407, nnd other Mediterranean coast towns have been captured nt various r times since. Though a definite zone of Spanish In fluence has been recognized since nn agreement between Fntnce and Spain In 1012, Spain has done little more at any time thun to hold the (torts and a small area of the hinterland about each. Spanish authority farther In land has been more or less nominal and has never been exercjsed at all In the uoro remote sections of the zone. Bandits, of whom the chief was the notorious HalsilII, have operated In the Spanish territory In recent years with little molestation. One of their favorite activities has been the kid naping of Kuropeons and Americans for ransom. Tlie Spanish Moroccan zone Is n rel atively narrow strip of territory with an area about equal td that of Bel glum, or slightly greater than that of Vermont, extending across the entire northern part of Morocco. It has a frontage of about 200 miles on the Mediterranean sea and of about HO miles on the Atlantic. It does not In clude the city of Tangier on tlie north westernmost point of Africa, that city wllh a surrounding territory of 110 Kpioi-o miles having been under Inter national control since 1012. The coun try Is mottntnlnoun but contains con siderable agricultural land. This por tion of Africa Is free from desert con ditions. Tho Spanish zone, like the portion of Morocco under a French protectorate to the south, probably contains vnluuble mineral deposit's, but tlie disorders prevailing heretofore prevented adequate prospecting. In recent years Spain has spent much more on the zone thnn has been re ceived from it In revenues. RHODESIA: A 1921 LAND OF OPHIR Suggestions by archeologlsts that Ithoilesla mny bo the land of Ophlr, mentioned In the Bible as a source of Solomon's riches, lends added Interest to a region already attracting attention for its present-day resources. The act creating the Important Union of South Afrlcn to the south reserves the right to add Rhodesia to that dominion of the British empire. U. L. Parsons, writing to the Nntlonal Geographic so ciety, describes some phases of Khode slim life ns follows : "The wet season in Ithodesla begins In November and lasts until the llrst of June. All kinds of garden seeds nnd cereals are in the ground by Christmas and In Jlinuary the first crop of millet Is harvested. Great ceremonies attend both sowing nnd reaping. The dry season begins In June nnd lasts until the end of Octo ber. It is occupied with threshing, hoarding grain, storing wood and burn ing brush on seed beds for the sake of the wood ashes. "No matter how hot the days are, tho nights are cool and cnmptlrcs are needed. On the elevnted tablelands or plateaus the nights are very cold. "Taxes are not onerous In Rhodesln, as each hut pays only three shillings u year, which Is 72 cents, or a rnte of 0 cents per month. ' "The Zambezi river, which forms the southern boundary of North Rhodesia, is spanned nt Livingstone, just below the Victoria falls, by an American made cantilever bridge bearing tho Cape to Cairo railroad. As the water plunges 400 feet, tlie electrical energy to be developed Is incalculable. It Is proposed to carry the wires on' steel 'poles' fashioned like oil derricks, to the Klmberly mines, Johnnnesberg, Pretoria and around to Cape Town, on tho one hand, and up through Khar tum und the Nile valley, liven the pyramids may be decorated with lights made to glow by current from these mighty falls. "In a country like Rhodesia where there are no ronds either good, bud or Indifferent, getting about Is no fun. All the British olllclnls have 'bikes,' but they are more ornnmentnl than useful, so they use the 'nuichllhi' which, to quote them, Is an Invention of the devil. It consists of a long pole with two natives at each end, Midway hangs the hammock for the 'bronna,' alius the Knglish victim, whoso back Is lacerated by bushes and stumps mid his body nioro or less submerged when going across a river. The bearers keep up a chant that sounds like the wall of lost, spirits, and It never occurs to them that the passenger is not ns happy as If In a Pullman chair car. "Some of these African tribes hnve alert, active minds. They can com mit to memory page after page of a textbook, but the trouble is they do not comprehend the meaning. They learn telegraphy, typewriting, the manual of arms, etc., with wonderful rapidity and ns nothing Is more dear to the African heart than ceremony, they go Into ecstasies over parades and the morning and evening Hag tac tics. "In most of the tribes are to be found skilful artificers. Show them a pleco of imported furniture and they will exnctly dupllcato It. They weave bark fabrics of oVery kind and manu facture muslcnl Instruments, keyed, string, wind nnd percussion. Wherever suitable clay Is found, they make pottery, tiles and brick. Al most every Knglish official has a pic turesque resldenco ot brick with tile roof, surrounded by beautiful gardens. "When Rhodesia gets proper trans portation facilities, It will supply tho British empire with ceretils, cotton, tobacco, rubber, cattle, nuts nnd fruits." A A. A. A A A A A A.
