Unlike linb.vloula, Assyria and
Chaldea, which exl-ted little longer
than (luring their periods of great
power, Persia, once tho peer of any
of them, has maintained Its entity
through an ebb and (low of fortune,
down to the present day. And now
the World war may be said to have
caused the "redhcoverv" of this his
toric country, though Its recent align
ment with soviet Russia holds out
possibilities that It may not receive
from the Western world the rejuvo
nation that was promised.
Darius would full to recognize as
bis mighty empire the narrow limits
of modern Iran, Its bordeis now far
withdrawn from the waters of the
Oxus nnd the Indus, from the shores
ef the Mediterranean and the wide
spread Mesopotamia!! plains; but the
nucleus still is there In territory, race,
language ami customs.
Persia of today Includes within a
territory still three times the size of
France, ancient Media, mountainous
Parthlu and the province Of Furs,
whence sprang her first great dynasty.
Such monuments to the glory of the
great kings as the ruined capitals of
Susa, Pcrsepolls nnd Ekbatunn still
stand on Persian soli.
Tho mnjorlty of the present inhabi
tants, although tinged with the blood
of Greek, Arab, Turk nnd Mongol con
querors, are the lineal descendants of
the original Iranian, or Aryan, popu
lation, and speak a language which
has for Its basic element the undent
Persian tongue.
Sultan Ahmed Shah, the one hun
dred fifty-sixth "king of kings," sits
on the tottering Persinn throne, while
the future of his kingdom rests In the
hnnds of outside powers.
Vast Desert Plateau Wrth Oases.
Modern Persia, with the exception
of the prosperous northwest province
of Turkish-speaking Azerbaijan and
the semi-tropical region between the
Klburz mountains and the Caspian
sea, can bo characterized as n vast,
mouutaln-rlbbed desert plateau, stud
ded here nnd there with oases which
most frequently form ribbons of fer
tile green fringing the desert at the
bases of sterile mouutnlu slopes from
whose snow-clad summits comes the
life-giving moisture.
The encircling mountain walls shut
out the rain from the central table
land. Rivers with sources but no
mouths flow half the year and lose
themselves In the parched desert
wastes.
The density of population Is less
than that of Texas, nnd more than
half the country Is an uninhabited
Sahara, some of It unexplored. Much
of the remainder Is suitable only for
sheep-grazing pnrt of the year, thus
forcing upon u fourth of her ten mil
lion people a seml-nomadlc existence
between the high, well-watered moun
tain volleys In the summer and the
warm plains In the brief winter sen
son. Some of these tribes, IJke the Kurds,
rarely leave their mountain homes,
where they exist Independently of
central government control. Others,
like the Ghnshgnls and IiakhtlnHs,
sometimes by coercion nnd sometime1)
through necessity of political alliance,
are vassals of the stute, although they
paj allegiance only to their chiefs,
who arrange with regnl nut' Ity for
their followers the matters of tuxes
and military service.
Cities are naturally few and small,
there being but two or three of more
than 100,000 Inhabitants. The lower
mountain valleys and thoj oases are
the centera for both town nnd agri
cultural population, nnd the wonder
ful fertility of these scattered areas,
snatched from the blighting grasp of
the desert, forms the bnsls for the
startling contrasts In the climate of
this unusual country.
Water ia the chief concern of the
Persian peasant. Wherever he can
divert the flow of mountain stream
or build a crude canal from a well
or spring, a small portion of the des
ert becomes a paradise and he pros

pers. Certain of these regions are
said to be among the most fertile in
tho world, producing In abundance not
only the finest of wheat and barley,
but grapes, apricots, peaches, nectar
ines, pomegranates, figs and melons
which are unsurpassed among the
fruits of the temperate zone. Cotton
and tobacco thrive, and roses, as well
as other flowers, gloriously deerve
the frequent association of their
names with that of Persia.
Now Has Chance to Develop.
The day Is at hand as one of the
by-products of the war, when Persia
has the opportunity to begin to learn
from British experts, not only how
to reclaim more desert land by build
ing better aqueducts and by throwing
barrages ucross mountain gorges to
store the surplus of the spring fresh
ets, but how to establish closer com
munication with the outside world
and to develop her great potential re
sources. Lacking in the energy, Initiative
nnd co-operative spirit necessary to
develop their country themselves, the
Persians have suffered from the Jeal
ous rivalry of their neighbors, nnd
from n seclusion forced by nature, but
belled by their central geographical
location, In all the recent history-making
disturbances In the Near and Mid
dle Kast.
in spite of her position ns a ver
itable Asiutlc Belgium, Persia Is
strangely cut off from world Inter
course by those same nuturol bur
dens which so affect her climate.
At the opening of this century not
n single highway suitable for wheeled
conveyances pierced the mountains to
tho plateau. A few foreign officials
and Infrequent venturesome travelers
made their toilsome way by caravaq
over tortuous passes to the Persian
capltul or to other Persian cities, and
the Persians themselves for the most
pnrt stayed at home. But about 1000
a government-subsidized Russian com
pnny opened a post road, as a mill-tnry-coininerclnl
venture, which
climbed from the Persian port of
Kuzall, on the Caspian sea, to the
capital city, Teheran.
Five years ago three or four post
carriage routes nnd n narrow-gauge
railway running five and a half miles
from Teheran to a suburban shrine
were the only competitors of the pic
tureque but slow-moving caravnn.
Teheran's Fine Location.
No one knows how long there hns
neon a city where the present cupl
tnl of Persia stands. It has not al
ways been called Teheran, nor lias it
always been In the same spot; but n
city hns existed In the locality as far
buck as Persian history reaches.
Such a suitable site could hardly be
overlooked. It Is at an altitude of
nearly 4,000 feet, at the foot of tower
ing mountains, at the Junction of three
great Asiatic caravan routes, near
mountain 'passes, mid beside an ample
supply of water. Favored In these
ways, It has accumulated a population
of more thnn 300.000 since the begin
ning of the Nineteenth century.
The latitude Is tbat of Cape Hat
terns. The three summer months ore
exceedingly hot nnd dry, but If one
wishes the luxury of a summer resort
It Is at his door.
Although occupying an nnclent site,
Teheran Is a modern city. It hns
been the capital of Persia only a lit
tle more thnn n century, and has been
an Important metropolis for a much
shorter time than thnt.
In Journeying to Teheran from the
Caspian sea, so sudden Is the tran
sition from desert to city thnt before
one rcnilzes thnt the journey Is at
an end he finds himself clattering
across the atone causewny over the
moat toward the most surprising of
gntewnyB, a great multicolored fnendo
overlaid with n gay mosaic of glisten
ing tiles nnd topped with numerous
minarets ornamented In the samr
fashion.
Teheran Is one of those numerous
cltleB between the Near und the Far
East which calls for a modification of
Kipling's oft-quoted line; for here
Kast and West have met, but have
not mixed.

ARE MANY KINDS OF SALMON
Bureau of Fisheries, In Report on
Pacific Fisheries, Lists Large
Number of Varieties.
Salmon In salmon to most persons,
but there ate many kinds of salmon
to tlio.se who know n "hawk from u
liaudsuw" ami a saliuoii from a sal
mon. The bureau of fisheries, in u
report on Pacific salmon fisheries, lists
tho following Paelllc species of the re
nowned llsb: Chinook, (pilunat 01
klii salmon ;' humpback or pink sal
mon ; !(K or chum salmon; soclteyed
blue-back or red salmon; silver or
coho salmon, and steel-head trout.
All these salmon, with the exception
of tlie stool-head, are Included In the
Koiiiim "oncorliynchus," and that tough
lookliiK word Is made up of the
Greek word "onkes," iiieanltiK a barb
or a hook, and another Creek word
"rhynchtis," nieanhiK a snout, so that
Kciiiis of fish is distinguished by it
"hook snout." The steel-liead trout,
classed as a salmon, belongs to a
closely related genus called "salmo,"
which Is n word probably derived
from the Celtic and thu significance
of which Is disputed.
