onsiderable quantities are
, nickel, lead, manganese,
bur, coal, antimony, arr,
fuller's earth, gold, kailum,
asbestos, rock-salt,
irome and mercury. 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

hazel nuts are among the exports of

American publishers of Bibles re
port an increase of about 50 per cent

year. This does not mean that wai
has multiplied readers of the im

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

The principal exports of Asii
Minor are raisins, tobacco, figs, bar

, skins. Owing to the backward organ

j to assign any values to the annua

be worth considering. The leading
exports of' Syria include lemons
oranges, sesame, soap, silk, barle;
and liquorice, while Mesopotamia ex
[ ports large shipments of dates, wool
j barley, wheat and opium. Yemen ii
i Arabia, the land which is. mostly j
desert, exports the famed Mokha cof
fee. Coffee is said to be very scare
j in Germany now. Dates are abou
j the only other export from Arabi;

The climate of Syria is of the ex

j however, it remains unworked. Sill

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. By

The whole bunch of us went to i
cafe kept by one Patsy Galootsy, wh<
had been a sailor and who knew hov
to treat men of the sea. 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. Need ]
say that we all did justice to the gooc

time and forgot that we were out o
our native land. 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. The decks wen
decorated with flags until they re
sembled a fourth of July celebration
Rnth hlueiackets and officers wer<
dressed in their finest clothes and th<
scene was one which I shall nevei
forget.
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.?
