Turks ADOPT MODERN IDEAS
Scientific and Literary Interests Are
Being Promoted by Ottoman
Schools and Press.

An interesting guide to the ten.
dency Of modern Turkish ideas and
thought may be had from a perusal
of the lists OF new publications in the
Turkish language. One will at once
observe the large number Of transla-
lions and adaptations Of European sci
entific and literary work and books OF
a popular nature. There are treatises
on medicine. surgery, law, chemistry.
physics, military science and even ae-
ronautics. There are also large
number of Independent publications
by Turkish authors on these and 9TH
er modern topics. Text books for
use in Turkish schools are prepared to
meet the needs Of a modernized cur
riculum. Instead Of merely reading
the fables and historical stories the
modern Turkish schoolboy uses
graded reading books prepared in &C
cordance with the latest pedagogie
ideas.
Standard works Of European litera
ture are being translated into Turkish
and modern popular novels, principal!
French, have a large scale. O
purely American literature little hal
been translated, but the American dc
tective stories are. finding great ia
vor among Turkish youth.
There is also a growing moderl
Turkish literature which aims to fos
ter Turkish patriotism and love TO
the Osmanlt language. Several Illus
trated magazines are published reg'
larly. Excellent new editions, we
illustrated, of some Of the Turks
classics are also published to retail
the interest in these works.

DISCOVERED BUT NOT KNOWN
Ex%enaIvs Areas In Brazil and Aus
tralia Still Without the Pale OF
Our knowledge.

Lying within the basin of the head
waters Of the Amazon in western Bra
I'll are three regions much larger IN
area than all the New England states
which are still outside the pale OF our
knowledge. This large territory lies
between the parallel Of 10 degrees
south latitude and degrees north lat
itude. and the meridians OF 60 de-
grees west longitude. Not country
of South America has been accurately
defined and fully explored. The great
difficulties with which the scientist
must contend in mapping this CONT
nent in the equatorial regions &C
count for the large areas still UNI
charted. 1t is the hardest section OF
| the world to penetrate. Dense Tor
| ests, a deadly climate inducing the
worst scourges of disease, as yellow
fever, cholera, beriberi, ETC.. the fierce
wild beasts, poisonous serpents and
savage tribes are some of the obsta
cles to be encountered in penetrating
the Amazon country.
The entire central portion of Aus
tralia is an unknown tract save fol
direct line in which the transconti
mental telegraph system has beer
laid. The greatest difficulty Was en-
countered in stretching the wire
across the desert waste and the small
strip thus opened up is all that 4
known of the heart of the island con
tinent. 1t is supposed to be a vas
sandy plain, interspersed here an
there with salt lakes to vary tn
horrible monotony. Hundreds Of dal
ing men have tried to penetrate 1t
J mysteries, and most Of them have pal
for their temerity with their live.
