I JUttle Journeys -to" t fr Tty Ni Society , UAhinflroo. D. itt&artx ef f LOWER CALIFORNIA Communication makes for civilization. The airplane promises to make accessible many hitherto obscure re sloris, not alonx main lines of steamer or railway travel. For example, the average American had little reason heretofore to po to Lower California. Recently, however, this peninsula has been the resting place for airplanes in illhts from the I'acltic coast of the United States to the Panama Canal. Frederick Simplch writes to the National Ceogrnphic society as follows; "The lonir, boot-shaped peninsula that swings down off the left-hand corner of the United States belongs to Mexico and Is known on Mexican maps as IJaja or Lower California. Early Spanish maps of America showed California as an island, due, no doubt, lo lindted explorations of this peninsula. "Scantily known as It is to the avrage American, this SOO-mlle-long strip of rocks, peaks, brush-rown mesas, and rare, fertile little valleys is a favorite haunt for many Yankee naturalists, fishermen, and big-game hunters; and here and there, in the in -re-favored, well-watered, grassyspots of the higher ranges, hardy American cattlemen have built their adobe homes, where they enjoy the limitless freedom of vast unfenced areas. The Circle Ear company of Ojos Xegros Ranch runs cattle over a leas m1 territory of two and a half million acres, and a Eritish corporation holds title to something like fifteen million acres. "Away down at peaceful, picturesque La Eaz, where Cortex repaired his schooners and where, centuries later, Walker, the Yankee filibuster, raised his Hag. another Yankee today runs a busy little tannery, turning out GOO sides of good leather every day, for an American shoe factory. Here and there, in hill and valley, Americans are delving for metals or growing the staple frijole, "Hut the country as n whole, owing to Its many desert, waterless areas, is but sparsely settled, and, as one writer says, In all Its turbulent, romantic history, since the halcyon days when Sir Francis Drake dropped his pirate anchor In Magdalena Eay, no wheeled vehicle has traversed its rough and tortuous length. "Rich as are Its mines and fat as are Its herds of cattle, its chief source of wealth lies In the cottongrowing regions around Mexicall. "At the Colorado delta, at the head of the flulf of California, which separates the Lower California peninsula from Sonora, more than at any other point on the whole border, the Interests of the United States and of Mexico are closely joined. This is due to the singular topography of that region (part of it is below sea-level) and to the diversion of water from the Colorado river. Ip the opinion of many irrigation engineers and political students, this peculiarly delicate problem of irrigation and water rights, as between planters on the American and Mexican sides of the line, respectively, can be solved satisfactorily only by some joint treaty between the two republics, involving either the fixing of a neutral zone or the sale of a small strip of territory." WILL ELEPHANTS GO THE WAY OF BUFFALOES? Will the Afrle:m elephants soon have to he protected, as nre huff aloes In the Fluted States', lest they become extinct? The peaceful progress of farming is the menace which the elephant faces. Already the South African Cape council has tlechletl to exterminate the elephants because they despoil crops and sometimes kill aiicultural labt re rs. Sir Harry Johnston, famous African tuthority. tells of his experience with African elephants in a communication to the National "etjrapliic society: If. afp-r many years of trials, the African elephant N pronounced to be hnp-les a- a domestic animal (am! it should be remembered that most male African elephants in captivity have shown themselves to be hoplossly savaje). then at least for Its manid?: cent ivtiy the creatine is worth preserving as an asset to the state. If the Indian elephant shows himself to be more docile than tlie African 'IcphanT, it mut pt. remembered, on the ether hand, tl.at ho l of very little value for his ivory. "One day a baby elephant vvas presetted to me by an Fanda chief. It is a s;i,j ihinu' to relate, but three men .vere !;il!ed in attempting to capture the t:rt elephant. I had expreed a wih one day for ome elephants to experiment with in domestication, atid the nathes. with their usual dolre to please me, w re so ardent In their determination to gratify my wish and s,, determined in their pursuit of the iixiir elephant that the mother H. phant knocked over and killed three f them. Rut finally they suceceeded In their object, capturing the calf, and to my :n at su?;.rie It trotted Into ump beliind oiie of the men.

Tlds little creature was at the time only four feet Iiis. In two days It had become perfectly tame, and would follow a human heln.cr as readily as his own mother. It was easy enough to feed Min with milk, because all that was required was a bottle with a Ions neck. This bottle was tilled with cow's milk diluted with water, and poured down the elephant's throat. Soon all that one had to do was to place the neck of the bottle In the elephant's mouth, and the Intelligent creature wound Its trunk around the neck of the bottle, tilted it up, and absorbed the contents. For several weeks the

elephant throve and became a most delightful pet. It would allow any one to ride on Its back, and seemed to take pleasure and amusement In this exercise. It would Und its way through diverse passages into my sitting room, not upsetting or Injuring anything, hut deftly smelling and examining objects of curiosity with Its trunk. "At "the same time we had In captivity a young zebra, which was also to he the pioneer of a domesticated striped horse. These two orphans, the elephant and the zebra, became greatly attached to each other, though perhaps there w-as more enthusiastic affection on the part of the elephant, the zebra, at times, getting a little bored with constant embraces. Alas and alack ! both elephant and zebra died eventually from the unwholescmeness, to them, of cow's milk." MALMEDY: WALLOON ISLE RELINQUISHED BY PRUSSIA In patching together the pictute puzzle of Kuropean nations to tit more nearly racial and historical units the peace conference commission on Belgian claims approved Belgium's demand for Malmedy. Malmedy long formed one of those alien racial clusters that seem to cling like barnacles to many a Kuropean boundary, line, v In the case of Malmedy and the region about that town a group or Walloons was left in Khenish Prussia when the historic Benedictine Abbey of Stavelot-Malmedy was cut In two In 1815. Malmedy fell to Prussia, while six miles to the west, across the pre-war Belgian border, I? Stavelot. The latter town was the seat of the abbey which was independent until the Luneville peace of 1S01. The ab bey fell to France until Its partition 14 years later. The abbey was found ed in the Seventh century and later its abbots ranked as princes. They ruled many small villages along the Ambleve, on which Stavelot is situ ated, and along the Warehe, which flows through Malmedy. Charles Martel, grandfather of Charlemagne, who ruled the Franks while he let their kings reign on, won a de cisive victory over Neust ria at Stave lot li-'OO years ago. Malmedy lies In a pretty valley of the afore-mentioned river, 20 miles south of Alx-Ia-Chapelle. The town had less than r,(KX population before the war. Dyeing, paper-making and tanning were its industries. The term Walloon is used to desig nate those Belgian who speak either French or a French dialect. The Walloons of Belgium desired Malmedy's restoration for lingual. as well as for sentimental reasons. In Liege and Namur a movement for the revival of Walloon as a literary language for It had been so used until about the fifteenth century was well under way when the war began. In the midst of German speaking neighbors Malmedy and Its environs preserved the old Walloon dialect, whereas among many Belgian Walloons it has been supplanted by pure French. THE STRAITS OF MESSINA Between the rocky masses of Sicily and the "toe" of the Italian peninsula, there is but a narrow lane of sea. known as the Straits of Messina. Yet this ribbon of water might be ocean-wide, judged by the diverse civilizations of Italy and its island neighbor. The Sicilian and Italian banks, which border the Straits of Messina for nearly I!." miles to the east and west, are among the most luxuriant to be found in a cruise of the Mediterranean. Magnificent golden groves of lemon ami orange, and orchards of pomegranate, with their brilliant red fruit, ' contrast wonderfully with the' tlowers of the almond trees which perfume the whole region. The straits nre entered from the Tyrrhenian sea. on the north, at the narrowest point, the distance between Punta del Faro on the Sicilian shore and the mainland lighthouse on Punta IVzzo being not more than two miles. The whole of the Caibrian coast Is thickly sown with village, some clinging to the beach, while others clamber Up the sides of the well-wooded hills which culminate in the towering Montalto, rising to an e!t vation of more than a mile above- the sea. Beyond the str:;its to the southwest, looms ever-threatening Ftna, the highest volcano in Kurope.

Scylla and Charybdis. but mariners familiar with the perils of the rocks "n the Italian side of the straits and with the strong eddies near the harbor of Messina, saw In the mythlcat monsters an explanation of such dangers. Scylla was supposed to be a horrible creature with six heads and a dozen feet, who barked like a dog. She dwelt in a lofty cave from which she rushed whenever a ship tried to pass beneath, and she -would snatch the unlucky seamen from the rigging or as thev stood at the helm endeav , , lto , ,f the perilous passage.

NEW REBELLION IN GARDEN OF EDEN "Mesopotamia, Upper and Lower, vies with Egypt In claiming the honor of being the home of ancient civilization," says a bulletin of the National (ieographie society, quoting from several communications concerning the land of Adam ami Eye where the British recently sent more troops because of native uprisings. "Mesopotamia comprises the valleys' of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Here flourished the Chaldean, BabyIt nian, and Assyrian empires. The city of Bagdad, -with all its glamor of, mystery and magic, Is in the heart of Mesopotamia. "This was the richest land in the ! wrld, the granarv of the ancients; i vet in suite of nil that It has been. ! , ... .j..- ... , it today lies largely waste, the desert i sands have encroached upon the fertile tieltls, while the clogged canals have turned other portions into swamps and marshes. "What population there is not more than one million Is of Arab origin and the Arabic language is spoken throughout. There is, in fact, a very distinct dividing line between the Arabic antl the Turkish-speaking portions of the former Ottoman empire. Thi boundary corresponds with the line of the Bagdad railway from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. It is for the exploitation of this rich land of Mesopotamia that the famous Bagdad line was built. "Syria closes the east end of the Mediterranean and Is bounded on the north by the Taurus mountains.

"Fifty miles west of Bagdatl. along the Euphrates, lies the region now commonly "regarded as the Garden of Btlen. To irrigate this IMen and to reclaim millions of fertile ceres around Bagda'l was tho stupendous task to which the Turkish government addressed itself. "At Mussayeb, on tte Euphrates, a pre-war traveler saw 4,0X Arabs digging like nudes In the Babylonian plain, .unking a new channel for the river. In the dry bed of this artificial channel an enormous dam was- built. "Nebuchadnezzar's vast irrigation system, which once watered all Babylonia, can still be easily traced for miles about Bagdad. One giant canal, the Narawn, runs parallel with the Tigris for nearly .'1'0 miles; It is feet wide, and all about it the takeoff and laterals may still be identified. Herodotus said he found a 'forest of verdure from entl to end' when ho vl& ited Mesopotamia.'
