graphical pathway Of tribes pushing
westward from Asia and southwark
from the bleak Russian steppes toward
the warmer seacoast lands. Moreover.
Bessarabia is at the conveyance OF
these two history-beaten paths. and
many times a clash ensued to decide
which group should pass through the
meek OF the bottle" toward Europe's
lands of milk and honey.
Among the most narrowing OF the In
vasions was that of the Mongols in
the fourteenth century. They came
across the volga under Batu. grandson
Of that Mongol Charlemagne, Jenghii:
Kahn, and though there is no complete
story Of their depredations in Bes-
sarabia, that region probably suffered
atrocities similar to others which are
recorded in narrowing detail. At
Ryazan women and children were used
as targets In bow-and-arrow contests
slivers of wood were driven under the
nails of the men; then they were cor
rallied in churches TO watch their wom-
en- being tortured, and finally roasted
alive. Another city, Kozelsk. was re-
named Mobalig, City of VICE." and
kiev was laid waste after her people
had been MANNED and murdered.
A picture of peaceful, pastoral Bes-
sarabia prior to the renewed ravages
of the World war, furnishes a Pleasing
contrast. A delight to the few tour
lists who went through the region, were
the Moldavian homes.
A Moldavian interior was immaculate
and vivid. Brightly-cOlored curtains
and hangings were used. An inevitable
decoration were rows of yellow
gourds. the raising of which is one of
the minor Bessarabian industries. The
people are deeply religious. Each orthO-
odox home had its altar, facing east
ward, sacred bread beneath the icon.
and cOrnStalkS placed in the shade Of
a cross before it. Even the affairs
were cOlorful because of their draper
les and candles, and many times they
were laden with flowers. The Bes-
sarabian women are sprightly, bright
eyed, and pretty.
Moldavians constituted about half
the inhabitants Of Bessarabia. Rou-
mania, it will be recalled, was formed
by the union of MOldavia and Wal
lachia; hence the adjoining Bes-
sarabia. with its large Moldavian pop
ulation. long has been the "Irredenta'

the Azores objects of scientific inter-

The Azores comprise three groups
of islands. Their total area is less
than that of Rhode Island; their popu-
lation about equal to that of Kansas

Portuguese. The rest are Flemish and
Moorish. with few immigrants from
the United Kingdom.
Fruits and fish constitute the prin-
cipal exports. Oranges are Supplant-

The principal fish are the mullet, tun-
