PACIFIC ISLAND GARDEN
SPOT

With the shifting Of ownership that
the Pacific and the growing impor-
lance of that great body of water In
international affairs, the holdings of
the various nations In the Pacific are
taking on new value. One Of the most
important Of the French Pacific pos
sessions is Tahiti, or the Society Is
lands, with steamship connection to
San Francisco and New Zealand.
They are described In the following
communication to the National Geo
graphic society from II. w. Smith:
Like the Samoans, the Society Is
lands are of volcanic origin, rising
from the low bed of the ocean, which
has depths near the islands Of 1,5OO
to 10000 feet, while the highest peak,
In the center Of the island of Tahiti,
reaches an altitude of 1900 feet
"Near Papeete the beautiful Fa-
tauua valley may be visited In an
afternoon. For good part Of the
way a carriage road leads up the val
ley offering changing vistas.
"Why, indeed, should the Tahitian
toll? There are great leaves of the
wild 'taro' growing by the roadside;
the young leaves are delicious boiled,
and the curious stranger will find
many other new delicacies Of
the table-the alligator pear. the
baked papya, the Mantis crab, the raw
fish, as good as the best oyster.
"In Tahiti, as well as In most of
the South Sea Islands, great numbers
Of coconuts are grown. The meat, af-
ter being dried into copra, is shipped
In large quantities to Europe. We
were much interested In the different
methods Of gathering the nuts In va
rious islands. In Tahiti the natives
climb the trees with the help Of a
strip of green, fibrous bark torn Off
the stem Of a hibiscus tree. After
knotting the two ends together, the
climber slips his feet half through the
circle, and standing with his legs
apart, so as to stretch the thong tight,
ascends the tree In series OF leaps,

settlement Of the Pacific coast Of the
United States the building of the
Panama railroad. and later the con.
5truction of trans-Mexican railway
the Panama canal, and railways
across Guatemala and Costa Rlca,
Central America has become easily
accessible.
Shortly before the construction of
the Panama railroad. coffee was In
troduced into Central America from
the West Indies, and was found to
grow to perfection in the lava soil on
the slopes of the volcanic mountains
along the Pacific coast of most of the
region. Coffee soon became an export
Of prime Importance and has brought
much money into Central America.
The remainder OF Central Americas
horticultural romance has as its mo-
tif, the banana. In order that the
great American hunger for that slen-
der golden fruit might be appeased,
large fruit growing and distributing
corporations from the United States
acquired extensive tracts of land in
the Atlantic plain, reclaimed 1t from
the jungle, and planted great banana
groves which produce millions of
punches of bananas yearly.
The by-products OF this development
have been as valuable to Central
America as the money that has flowed
directly to laborers and to the gov
eminent. Important cities have
sprung up along the Atlantic coast,
railroads have been built, and what
Is probably most important Of all, lines
Of fast well-equipped steamers, carry
ing both passengers and freight have
been established between the Atlantic
ports and those of the United States
In effect the banana has shifted Cen
trail America thousands OF miles clos
er to the outside world.

A ROMANCE OF BANANAS
AND COFFEE

When the American small boy eats
his daily quota of bananas, and when
his father and mother sip their break
fast, luncheon, or dinner coffee, they
are making important contributions to
the prosperity Of fellow Americans
of whom they know very little-the
residents of the five Central American
republics which have lately reached a
preliminary decision for the forma-
ton of scrt of united States of
Central America"
Central America illustrates striking
ly the effects Of geographic factors on
a regions development. All the five
republics lie on the relatively narrow
isthmus between the narrow ribbon
Of Panama on the south and Mexico
on the north. The Spanish settle
ments made soon after the discovery
Of America were all on the Pacific
side of the isthmus, for the most part
on the plateaus and mountain slopes
and In the mountain valleys of that
region, which temper an otherwise
tropical climate. Practically the en-
tire Atlantic side Of the isthmus was
a low plain, covered with n dense
jungle.
At the time Of the throwing off Of
the Spanish yoke in 1921, the Central
American settlements were as effec-
tually cut off from the United States
as If they had been many thousands
of miles away instead of being only
across the Caribbean sea- With the

IN TURKEY REFORM
SPRINGS ETERNAL

Turkey bids fair 10 'come back"
in limited sense ut least, as a re-
suit of the proposed revision of the
Seyres treaty that disnembered the
| Ottoman empire after the World war;
IL will be changed Turkey, to be
sure, but change Is not new In the
country that inherited Mohammed's
religious empire. ParadoXically, Tur-
key, though 1t has tradition of ma
! tional inertia, also Is land of kalei-
doscopic reform, and may be said to
react TO reforms more discriminat-
ingly than any other country in or out
| of ChristendOm. The Turks have
adopted some reforms bodily and some
partially, and have rejected others
fatty even when the prestige of the
Caliph and Allah's ministers was be-
hind them.
Turkey began Its existence on
foundation of reform, the empire in
heriting the comprehensive reshaping
Of the religious and social world In
stituted by Mohammed. 1t went
dry" just $40 years before the United
States, for Its eighteenth amend
ment" was not an amendment at all,
but part, SO to speak, OF the organic
act when the empire came into exist
ence In 1899.
Even in the matter Of polygamy,
looked at askance by the western
world, Mohammed and the government
which took up his mantel were re-
formers. The legal maximum number
of wives was placed at four.
Even the jokes of coffee and tobac-
co prohibition that have gone the
rounds of the American vaudeville
stage came near being reality In
Turkey. Mohammedan scholars full
minated against the steaming cup;
and one sultan went so far as to pro-
hibit the use of tobacco, fearing that
1t was taking too firm hold on his
people. But the populace refused to
have the prophets covenant changed
and the ban was raised.
Though the reported passing Of the
fez Is looked upon as reform which
to western eyes would remove some
thing as distinctively Turkish as the
star and crescent, the Introduction or
the gaudy skull cap was itself re-
form effected less than hundred
years ago and staunch old Moslems
Of that time wagged their heads In
warning as the reckless reformers cast
aside their dignified turbans for the
new bauble. To the Turkish Tories
of those days the fez travelled in COM
pany sufficiently dsreputable to damn
1t utterly. 1t was introduced forcibly
into the army by the Sultan Mahmoud
III In the early part Of the nineteenth
century along with tight European
trousers and frOck coats.
The fez and turban types of head
coverings have u definite reason for
existence In Turkey, and 1t Is to be
doubted that they will be discarded
entirely, especially for the brimmed
hats and visored caps of Europeans
Mohammedan rules and customs call
for covered heads at prayer; and they
also require that at one stage Of pray
err the votary shall touch his nose and
forehead to the ground, feat that is
impossible II he wears hat with
protruding brlm.
