It will not be long before railroads
will have pushed well into Asia Minor,
and then the certre of Asia will begin
to wake up, but to-day it Is srill impos-
sible to ship goods into Turkestan or
Persia or Arabia by any means other
than the caravan, just as goods were
shipped in the days of King Solomon.
If anything, the roads are little
worse now than they were then, and a
caravan bound from Teheran or Bag
dad to the interior may be months and
even years on the way.
This fact has made 1t necessary for
many an American merchant to study
queer things about story-book land in
order to know just how his goods must
be packed and shipped out Of America.
SO that they will be in the proper con-
dition for loading on camel and mule
back in the desert towns, whence they
start on their strange voyages.
An American shipper of goods for ex-
port into Far Eastern countries must
know just how much a camel can carry
and over what kind Of road it will
have to travel; for in many places the
roads are over mountain sides that are
SO narrow that the size of the package
is of the utmost Importance.
Thus, shippers in the United States
who do business with the Orient, have
had to learn that the merchandise must
| be packed in tin or zinc-lined cases, be-
| cause 1t is sure to be subjected to fierce
storms in shelterless trails. They have
had to learn that camel load Is two
packages of 26O pounds each. Mules
according to the caravan drivers ia
bles, can carry two packages, one or
each side, each weighing 1853 pounds.
These packages must not be longel
than four feet, wider than two feet OF
deeper than one and half feet. Pack
ages of this size can just scrapt
through some Of the dizzy defiles lead
ing into wild Asia.
At Ispahan about 300 mule and cam
ell loads of merchandise are received
or shipped every month during thu
trading season.-Savannah News.
