NOME: A CITY THAT
HIBERNATES
NOlUe, AIukKi., Hi ItfVCUl lltlH
been a city that dwindles in -winter
to n population of but a few hundred,
and spring has brought a lessening re
turn of residents. 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.

MEXICO'S SKYSCRAPER
PYRAMID
A pyramid that may rival those of
Egypt, for slze_ and prove to l>e even
older than the Nileslan piles. recently
was found at Teotlhuacan, Mexico.
Long a*ro two other pyramids, relics

Mention of the Dardanelles conjures

In 1015 and 1010 ""<1 ? history which
trails back into dim mythologies* times
when Leander swam across its three

Hero, who hung her light out to- In

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. Th?* cam
palgn was abandoned In January. 10M

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.
