There are no lands In the world whose stories are more absorbing than those of these Islands. A bulletin Issued by the National Geographic society gives the following sketch of the Islands as presented In a communication to the society by Ernest Lloyd 'larrls. Where a broken fringe of Islands parallels the coast of Asia Minor, be ginning with famed Rhodes, In the south; running northward, narrowly separated from the mainland, past the peninsula of Gtlllpoll, and ending noar the present Aegean coast of Bul garia, Is the dividing line between the Occident and Orient.

ChloB, 150 miles to the north, once one of the richest members of the Ionian union, subject, "in turn, to Athenian, Roman, Italian and Turkish domination, has long been a bone of contention between the Turk and Greek, and was first reunited to Its parent country, Greece, In 1913, after a separation of more than 2,300 years. The Chians Joined their brother Greeks In the wars of liberation, which began In the first years of the last century. In 1822, the Turks slaughtered 30,000 Chians in the space of two months, and sold 32,000 others Into slavery, and the land was thor oughly devastated.

Hera we find Persian pitted against Greek,' Roman against Pontlan, By zantine against Moslem, Crusader against Saracen, Turk against Mogul, and, today, Europe divided against It self, and against the East. Not only have Asia Minor and the Islands facing Its Bhores been the stage upon which have been enacted some of the most gigantic events ln human history, but this Is at the pres ent time one of the most Interesting and picturesque regions ln the world. It has been termed the quintessence of the East. For nowhere else will you find, thrown together ln close as sociation, so many things of the East the camel caravan, the groves of cy press, olive, plane, and valonla trees, the mosque and towering minaret, lat ticed windows and veiled women, and a background made up of the remnants of an ancient civilization. Rhodes an Island of Romance. Rhodes, whose history Is one chap ter after another of fascinating ro mance from days of remote antiquity, through Its reign as a cultural center during the age of Roman occupation, and Its golden period as the strong hold of chivalry during the occupa tion of the Island by the order of the Knights of St. John, once dominated the eastern Mediterranean, as a vest pocket England oft the coast of Asia Minor. Cicero and Caesar finished their education at Rhodes, but Imperial Rome and Byzantium finally absorbed the schools there. Next the Knights of St John, founded In the eleventh century at Jerusalem, after many hardships, brightened again the an nals of the islands by making lt their home. They assumed the name of the Psychology of Fiddler Crabs. That fiddler crabs have minds may Mtonish some people, but they are only one of the multitudes of crea tures so endowed. And the minds of moUusks, Insects and starfish as well as froge and birds and mammals are worth studying, for there Is quite a large amount of literature devoted to the psychology of these despised low er animals.

NOTHING DOING place of the philosopher Pythagoras, and here, too, was the wonderful Tem ple of Hera, a boast of the Grecian world. The islands of the Aegean taken to gether constitute one of the most his toric and Interesting insular regions ln the world. Besides the 20 princi pal ones, which have lent much to his tory, there are Innumerable smaller ones. The larger Islands have a num ber of fertile and well-watered valleys and plains, the principal products of which are wheat, wine, oil, mastic, cotton, silk, raisins, honey and wax. Coral and sponge fisheries are numer ous, and ln most of the islands the an cient Greek type perseveres among the people. Tenedos of Strategic Value. Among the advanced camps of fore most Importance Is the allied French and English base on the small Island of Tenedos. Tenedos commands the approach to the Dardanelles, lying but eight miles south-southwest from the mouth of the strait and about five miles from the coaBt of Asia Minor. Despite Its insig nificant size, commerce, population count, and productivity, it has been visited by many an Imposing hostile fleet and army Uneven, rocky, almost mountainous in parts, there are yet within the six teen square miles ot the island's area some very fertile soils. There Is some fruitful garden land and rich pastur age, but the most Important product 1b wine, of which some 5,000,000 gal lons are exported each year. Tenedos supports a population of about 4,000, only one-third of whom are Mohamme dans. The only town, of the same name as the Island, Is Inclosed by rough ened walls, and shelters, among other remains from times long past, great storehouses erected by Justinian. 8oundproof Home for Singers.

Millions of dollars will be saved the government by the use of a newly de vised Btamp-prlnting machine. The apparatus Is scheduled to turn out a mile of postage stamps every five min utes. It was designed by Benjamin R. Stlckney. There will be a saving of 67 per cent in the production cost of stamps. This new machine, which prints, gums, dries, perforates, and either cuts into sheets or winds Into colls 12,000 stamps ln one minute, will save the government several million dol lars In the cost of stamps alone in the course of a few years. The bu reau of engraving and printing now turns out 40,000,000 stamps dally, Cut with the use of the new machine and because of the Increased demand, it will be able to manufacture many more millions a day. Price of a Son. Professor Allen Hoben of the Uni versity of Chicago says that one boy, reared ln babyhood to the age of eigh teen years, costs his parents $4,000,1 even if they are so poor that they must live ln the slums. Wealthy parents, he says, pay more, and he adds: "A son Is truly a costly luxury." Yea, ao- oordlng to Dr. Hoben's figures, even the slum father could ln eighteen years own a fine touring automobile tor the sum he expends ln rearing a son. And If he rears six sons that's $24,000 on a salary of $1,000 that's $"18,000 ln eighteen years think of the art gems he could buy for his little cottage.

"Half a crown," exclaimed the other Incredulously. "Oh, I charged tt to my expenses. ot course," explained the traveler. Kindly feeling and thoughtful econ omy eould go no further. Not Fit to Hear.

By the Invention of a simple ther mostatic controlling device, a Los An geles man has developed an Ingenious apparatus for rendering the smudge pota used by orchardlsts self-operating, says the January Popular Me chanics Magazine in an Illustrated ar ticle. The appliance, which may be fitted to any standard type of pot, Is regulated by a small copper rod. When the atmospheric temperature drops to a predetermined point, the contraction of the rod Is sufficiently great to release a cup containing an acid. The liquid la poured into a small chamber provided in the smudge pot. This holds a chemical substance which burns upon the addition of the acid, producing a flame that ignites the crude oil used ln the pot. The ther mostat may be adjusted so as to re lease the acid when the temperature falls to any specific degree. With this apparatus in use, an orchard may be protected from frost without personal attention being given lt. Popular Me chanics Magazine.
