Thus thin remote mining em up, after a meteoric careor and growth into a city, gradually is resuming the status uf ? town. Situated on the Mealy north coast of the ley storm swept Heling sen, closo to the Arctic circle, Nome Is frozen In und* allowed In fur about seven months 1 of tin* year. Its thief Industry, placer gold mining, depends upon the use of running water, therefore t tit* activi ties ibust stop when the water con geals. ltather than spend the long winter in ilie extreme cold, waiting for the return of mild weather, a large part of the population of Nome has always returned to the States In the fall, making t lie Journey buek to the north in June, when navigation opens. The over-night creature of an un usual ?;old discovery, the it own grew up on a site that probably, could not have been worse fitted for a commu nity of human habitation. It Is open to the full sweep of the violent storms and the heavy Waves that often beat In from the sea. [ It has a relatively narrow beach and Immediately within Is a strip of tundra, frozen solid in, winter, but a sea of tmiduduring the open season. In this morass the town grew up. Iti the early days men and animals "floundered through streets that were knee-deep In. mud. Later the principal thoroughfares were boarded over. Kaeh summer fool hardy new corners built structures on the beach only ,to have them Wholly destroyed by the blasts of September when, almost without warning, huge waves swept to the edge of the tundra and often into the town Itself. Gold was first discovered near Nome in 1808, in one of the numerous creeks that rise in the hills bnck of the town Getting Gold Out of Gravel. and cross the tundra to the sea. This discovery was widely heralded through Alaska nnd the western states. Thou sands flocked to the neighborhood In the summer of 3899 and the town was born. That season the remarkable dis covery was made that the sand of the beach at the edge of the town was rich In gold, and thousands of prospectors with crude equipment took out respect able fortunes. The beach could not be filed upon, but anyone was permit ted to dig there. This unique fea ture of the Nome gold fields drew more than 20,000 people to the region the following summer, and the town grew Into a thriving city. Placer miners burrowed Into the sand like moles for SO miles or more up and down the beach. Nome took its name from Cape Nome nearby, which was named as the result of a misunderstanding. It means nothing uuless it can be con strued to signify "the nameless." It was discovered in the exiimlnation of an early chart that when the physical features of northwestern Alaska were named one cape had been overlooked. The penciled query "name?" was made beside it. A copyist translated the scrawled question a* "Nome," nnd the twme has stuck. r*.

Xerxes, lp 480 B. C.. having an un^ canny Teellng that bis thousands of Persians were not Billlngtons am Keller mans, lashed bouts together as a brldgeway, which Herodotus tells us groaned for seven days and nights, during the unloading of Asiatics on tin ?;<>!! of Europe. Alexander the Great, about 100 years later, before he was reduced 't# tears at the faHureoftl world to provide him excitement, tried out. the thrill of Xerxes by leading his Macedonians Into Asia. The approach by which the Am can soldier and sailor will enter Con stantinople may well be likened to the entrance to a dwelling house? the Da dandles being the outside or stonn door, the Sea of Marmora the vesti bule, and the Bosphorus the inner door. This Sturm door, which is about the width of the Hudson river, Is com manded by the Dardanelles castles built by Mohammed II In 1470. One fort Is on the European side and one on the Asiatic. Many guide books pub lished before 1914 carried this om inous and prophetic sentence: "The castles on both sides have been lately restored and armed with Krupp guns." According to the treaty of July, 1841, and the F'arls peace of 18.r?0, no for eign ship of war was allowed to en ter the strait without the permission of Turkey, and merchant vessels only during the daytime. On the Aslatlc^slde a short distance from the fort lies the town of Darda nelles. which was named for Darda nus, the mythological ancestor of the Trojan king, Aeneas, and hence of the Itoman people. This city of 15,000 Inhabitants, situated prettily on a fer tile stretch of land. Is the point from which most of the excursionists start for the plains of Troy, a short dis tance beyond. Here, too, ships must stop to show their papers, the num her of merchant vessels alone during a single year numbering: more than 12.000. Across on the European side Is Oalllpoll or "beautiful town." Tt was the first European town to bo e?p tured by the Turks In 13T>7, Superbly located on the steep projecting coast of the Oalllpoll peninsula. It commands a view of the Asiatic side ? the plains of Troy and the broken foot-hills of Mount Ida. On this narrow peninsula In April, 1018, allied forre* were landed In an attempt to capture the !>ardn nelles. When the floods drove t lie Hrlt Ish soldiers from their trenches like rats out of hole* Turkish snipers on ,{m* u!!ir picked them off almost as fast as they appeared.

RUSSIA: THE HEIRESS OF FAMINES Nfever, In civilized times, havt! so many old-world nations felt the pinch of hunger at once; yet suffering from want of food Is no hew story to many of them. Especially has Russia been the luckless heir to periods of near starvation. Writing to tlie National Geographic society, Ralph A. Graves tellK of Rus sian famines of the past as follows; "Next to the proletariat of India and China, tlie Russian peasant has felt the pinch of poverty and hunger more keenly and moru frequently Uian any otlier citizen on earth. "One of the earliest famines In Rus sia of which there Is any definite rec ord was that of 1000, which continued for three years, with a death toll of 600,000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats were eaten; the strong overcame the weak, and In the shambles of the pub lic markets human flesh was sold. Mul titudes of the dead were found with their mouths stuffed with straw. "Three Russian famines of compara tively recent date were among the most severe In the history of the coun try. They occurred in 1891, 1000 and 191 J. During the ten years following the first of these periods of dearth the government allotted nearly $120, 000,0<KJ for relief work, but the sums were not always Judiciously expended. "In 11)00 the government gave 40 pounds of flour a mdhth to nil persons under eighteen and over fifty-nine years of age. All peasants between those ages and Infants under one year of age received no allowance, and It became necessary for the younger and older members ofThe family to share their bare pittance with those f#r whom no provision was made. The suffering was Intense and the mortal ity exceedingly heavy, but the avail able statistics are not wholly reliable. The famine of 1911 extended over ona-third of the area eft the empire in Europe and affected more or lesa di rectly 30,000,000 people, while 8,000, 000 were reduced to starvation. Weeds, the bark of trees, and bitter bread made from acorns constituted the chief diet for the destitute. This was unquestionably the most widespread and most severe famine that has be fallen a European nation it) modern times.
