Of these resources, the copper stores will likely be the most prized by the l ~ Germans, though little has been done B . under Turkish administration toward exploiting. copper. The reserves of Anatolia copper are said to be large. Wheat, corn and barley are 'grown i* large quantities in Asia Minor, 1 and, in normal times, much of the surplus barley has been exported to Great Britain, where it has been used tot brewing. There* is a considerable .surplus of wheat, which should relieve the reported meal scarcity in * the mills of the central powers. The west coast of Asia Minor is noted for the fruits that ripen in its Mediterranean climate. Here are grown an important part of the world's raisin crop. Olives and figs also thrive I along the Aegean coast. Where hot snmmers swelter over the northern ^v^^olia coasts some of the finest Turkish tobacco is raised, which in KF**' i all likelihood, is now a rare luxury ^ v . r:^ihong the German smokers.. A sort f of tobacco is grown in Germany, a ' ' pale insipid, unfragrant leaf, which v * bears little resemblance to the rich tobacco of America, Turkey and the ;V East Indies.

This does not mean that wai has multiplied readers of the im perishable book. For generations the Bible has beer an assured and secure "best seller.' Its sales amount to 40,000 copies i day, on the average. In the .cours< of /the nineteenth century 300,000, 000 copies^ complete and partial were sold. Among mere novels a to tal of 25,000 copies is considerec very good. It toojk "Ben Hur" twen ty-odd years to get beyond the mil lion mark, and "Uncle Tom's Cabin' appears only to have doubled, in its long career, the mark made by Gen Wallace's book. t ' In spite of war, with its disasters disillusionments and shifitings of pop ulations, the Bible retains first plac< on the selling lists.

In Syria there ar< important weaving, dyeing and tan ning industries at Aleppo and Aintab and there is some small manufactur< in Mesopotamia. The principal exports of Asii Minor are raisins, tobacco, figs, bar ley, liquorice, wool, hides, cotton an< , skins. Owing to the backward organ | ization of the country it is difficul j to assign any values to the annua | exports of these articles, which woul< be worth considering.

A. HUNT ] Vice Presiden BAMBERG, SOI ? CHRISTMAS SPENT AT SEA. I Experiences in Strange and Home Waters. i I believe that I spent more Christ* mases at .sea and in foreign places 5 ithan-I ever saw at home. Let me r begin by telling you of my most unpleasant Christmas. It was in the; yehr 1900, and I was on board the *! flagship New York, Admiral FarquIhar commanding. We wrere cruising! 1! in the waters of Porto Rico. On . a 1 " Christmas day it was very hot and the skies were clear, but there was 'lan unusually heavy ground swell,"T which kept the ship rolling constant-^ i lv and cava na nn timp tn nnrsftlvfis. : AJ (*UU QW V \S UV MV % * *** -W WW w www - WW. ~i Did we have a Christmas dinner? " Yes, such as it was, but a landsman would hardly recognize it as such; in 3 fact we didn't call it by that name. * All we had was salt horse, hardtack, peppered pickles and blackjack. We ' couldn't swing the tables and had " <to grab our food any way we could 2 get it. We finally drove for Cleuba, on the Porto Rican coast, where we spent the remainder of the day. Cleuba is a barren, desolate place, good for practice, but nothing else? We 3 had no festivities all day and we just knew it was Christmas and that was all. ; l! About tbe gayest Christmas I ever| j experienced was in 1897, while I was Y! on the third-class ' cruiser, Castine. When Christmas came around we - were in the harbor of Montevideo, Y Uruguay, South America/ As there r was no pressing business on hand, we 3 were allowed forty-eight hours shore 3 leave, and I can assure you that dur - j ing that time the ship was about dev, j astated. There was one lifttle mis5 hap, however, that1 very nearly cost me my holiday. I was nothing more i than a youth at that time and I must j - confess that I was very prone to cut| i j up, capers whenever the opportunity -' presented. On Christmas morning, j t while we were standing at attention j I answering rpll-call, I was seized with: i1 an\ irresistible desire to stick a pin j II in the man on my right. He was a j ff very seaaie, serious sort 01 a, uiay, v and as I was imbued with the holiday - spirit. I followed the dictates of my impulse and shoved the pin in deepi er than I ought. Of course, the man i jumped .off his pins and emitted a - howl that created consternation in e the ranks. The man did not give me t away, but the captain suspected who a,j the guilty party^ was and I was or| dered to fall out. - j Now the captain was a man by the t name of Barry. He was six feet four inches in his stocking feet and wore k shoes about twelve or thirteen inches f ; in length. That morning he sent out -ja pair of shoes in good condition r j with the information that if they fite I ted anyone they could have them as n | a Christmas present. I was very a j small all the time and had a small j [l j 001, Diu i seized upon uiuse snuea. v I got a lot of hemp#. tow and old rags s and filled them out and put them on. - When I was called up before the tall > cap'tain I had on his shoes. Well you n ought to have seen the expression on s H* fa^e as he looked down upon me. n He pulled hard at his mustache and ej tried to be severe, but he ended by >-! bursting into laughter, and told me ! to go ashore with the others.

There wer< sailors there also from an Englisl ship and Patsy had decorated his place inside and out with the Ameri can and British flags.) A regulai American Christmas dinner was serv ed at a great table, and we all sai down together. At each man's plat( was the flag of his country.

Each shipmate waj called upon to give a little toast anc not a man hesitated. After all wai over we all arose and the Americans sang "America" and the Englishmer sang "God Save the Queen." On Christmas day in 1894 or 1895 I forgot which, I was on hoard the cruiser New York, in home waters of the Southern States. Each man chip ped in $2 for the Christmas dinnei and we had a feast which would b< hard to beat in the finest home ii the land. There were about 500 mer on board divided into messes of aboui twenty each. The dinner was servec on the gun and berth decks. Eacl mess invited its officers, and durint the dinner all differences of statioi were forgotten and we had a roya time. All the ship's fine cut glass silver and china was brought int< service and we had everything to eai that you could imagine. My mess had two roast pigs, turkeys and al the extras needful.

Christmas in the navy! Well, ' could .tell yob many more stories, bu I will give you only one more inci dent. A 14-year-old apprentice boy who served as messenger to the firs lieutenant, and who was a grea favorite with everyone on board hung up his stocking one Christmas eve, fastening it to the curtain whicl covered the first lieutenant's bunk No one knew why the boy did it, anc I doubt if the little chap himself real ized what he was doing. But whei the first lieutenant saw the stocking hanging there the tears came -to his eyes, and reaching into his pocket h< took out a $20 gold piece and drop ped it in the Christmas stocking.?
