The city of Trebizond, according to
a statement given by our National
Geographic society, is by far the most
important 'furiosi! port on the lilacs
sen. It is situated on the southern
shore of that, sea, about iifiO miles cat
of its outlet through the Bosporus.
It lies about only one Hundred miles
west of the international boundary be
tween Hussia in Asia aud Turkey in
Asia. It has always been the gateway
of the overland trade passing between
central Asia aid Persia und Kuiope.
The fortified city of Krzcrum, which
recently surrendered to the Russians,
was one of the stations on the, inter
continental highway
The city has no direct communica
tion with Asia Minor proper, except
by sen, because it is thoroughly hem
med in on itB western and southwest
ern sides by a wntersheu so steep and
forbidding that not a single river is
able to break through and thus react
the Black sea.
Trebizond got its immo fmm the sitt
untion. it originally was culled Trap
e.us, or Tableland.
The older part of Trebizoud is still
inclosed w 'thin a wall built by the
Byznntinees, but the newer part, which
is the Christian quarter, is outside of
the walls.
The harbor is not a good one, the
entrance being so filled with silt de
posited by the cross currents of the
Hlack sea, us to shut out any but light
draft vessels.
The ruad from this Turkish Hlack
sea port of Krzerum is a very difficult
one. It heretofore has been too much
broken to admit of the transit of
wheeled vehicles. In pence limes long
caravans of camels followed the trail
between the port and the fortress, but
in recent years the railroad from Hn
turn to Tiflis proved a formidable ri
val for the camel, nnd the "ship of
tho desert" is slowly giving way before
the " iron horse.'

"According to a statement by the
National Oeogrnphic society iu its

the city of Kcrmanshnh was taken ure

"The Kennanshah district is an im
portant one, and offers a compara
tively easy routo into Mesopotamia.
The main highway between Teheran
and Bagdad passes correctly through
it, Bagdad being only two hundred
I and twenty miles by caravan route from
