barians," thought to have been ances-
tors of the Huns. Tientsin dates
back at least to the fourteenth CEN
tury.
The salt industry In the neighbor-
hood of Tientsin is prodigious. Wind
mills are used to pump salt water into
the fields along the Halo river, where
the widely known Chang-lu salt is
made. Before the war nearly 10000
tons were produced annually. But
Tientsin is important commercially in
many respects. It is a rice market,
and Siberia's tea formerly was
shipped through there. Exports were
as varied as the needs of the dozen
or so nations which had separate set
Elements along five miles of the river
front, and it's imports were as diverse
as the commodities those nations had
to exchange.
The Peiho and Hunho rivers con-
verge at Tientsin. From the latter to
the Yangtsze-Kiang extends the
Grand canal, that remarkable speci-
men Of ancient engineering, mentioned
by Confucius, which originally was
more than 1000 miles long.
Tientsin has more people than Bos-
ton. 1t is the principal city Of Chih-
Ii, and is Sc miles southeast of Peking
by rail.

CENTER OF ITALY'S SOCIAL
EARTHQUAKE ZONE

Milan, chief city of the Lombardy-
Piedmont region of Italy, where work
ers seized factories several months
ago, and where much unrest has been
manifested since, has frankly consid-
cred itself for long years the virtual
capitalize "capitale morale"-of the
country.
In the recent Industrial troubles fac
tories are reported to have been
seized by workmen in practically all
parts Of Italy but it was in Lombardy
and Piedmont, the territorial division
lying farthest north and farthest
northwest in the peninsula-the seats
Of the important Italian metal indus
trfes-that the seizures were most nu-
merous. In those regions, in turn, the
movement was most pronounced in
and about Turin, the principal city Of
the Piedmont, and the Detroit of Italy;
and in Milan, metropolis Of the north,
and Italy's Fall River, Philadelphia
and Schenectady rolled into one.
Lombardy and the Piedmont COM
prise the plains Of the upper reaches
Of the great Po valley, the Alpine foot
hills, and the southern and eastern
slopes Of large part Of the Alps them
selves. Milan, on fertile plain near
the southern ends of some Of the most
important Of the Alpine passes, was
town Of considerable Importance even
In the dim historic days Of 222 B. c.,
when 1t was captured by the Romans.
1t was then, as it Is today, second
city In point Of population in Italy.
Milan early earned a position Of lead
ership among surrounding cities a
leadership, however, which did not go
unchallenged. The city has been de-
stroyed many times, once by league
Of neighbOring towns, and at other
times by alien conQuerors. After each
destruction it has sprung up on a SEEM
ingly firmer foundation to achieve
greater popularity and a more fur
reaching influence.
Apart from any reputation Milan
may have gained as an index to in
dustrial unrest, 1t is a leader among
italian cities in other respects. In
deed, the Milanese insist that their
city, their "capitale morale" is the
very heart and head of Italy's mod
ern life and activity-"first in indus
try, first in municipal progress, first
In political Importance"
The Industrial plants of modern
Milan have fairly burst the confines
Of the old city and many are to be
found in numerous populous suburbs
that have sprung up, especially since
1895. The population now numbers
close to three-quarters Of a million.
1t is exceeded only slightly, If at all,
by that of Naples, and is considered
In excess Of that Of Rome.

TIENTSIN, PANORAMA
CITY

Tientsin, In the northeastern edge
Of the terrible Chinese famine area,
In which millions of people are starv-
ing to death, is like a necklace of
towns strung together.
To walk about Tientsin is to travel.
An afternoons stroll from the native
to the British, French, Italian, Russian
and other foreign quarters, gives the
sensation of q magic tour through
Peking, London, Paris, Rome and
Petrograd. And the windmills among
the salt mounds just outside the city
add a touch of Holland.
This panorama city has had a tenn
pestuous history. There a group of
American and other foreign residents
Herbert G. Hoover among them
defended themselves for a month
against the fanatic Boxers in 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as Cheng-n, or 'Town without
Walls" because the ancient barriers
were demolished during the siege. OF
the 500 doughty foreigners more than
fifty were killed and many others
wounded before military aid came.
Tientsin was the scene of another
famous siege, that of the TAPPING
rebels in 1853. Followers Of Hung
Sin Tsuar, who had professed Chris
tianity and set himself up in Marking
as the Heavenly King" marched to-
ward Peking. But the Waterloo of the
'long haired rebels" so-called because
they could not plait their queues and
thus signify loyalty to the Manchus,
came at Tientsin.
The success of the campaign against
the revolutiOnists was due principally
to the gallant Chinese Gordon" Gen.
Charles George Gordon, and his Ever
Victorious Army"
Commanding the native force at
Tientsin was Seng-ko-lin-sin, Mongol
general, who later distinguished him
self less creditably. In 1860 he sought
to defend Tientsin against a foreign
expedition by erecting an immense
mud rampant outside the city. Tien-
tsin was captured and held for two
years by the British and French, and
the crude defense is known in the
foreign quarters as "Seng-ko-ln-sin's
folly"
The region about Tientsin was
known as Chi-chou under the Hsia
dynasty. whose rulers, 1000 years ago,
already had court astronomers who
could predict eclipses. Later it was
called Ya-chou, in the Chou dynasty,
marked by the western wars waged

fine CROPS sure
Farmers in Western Canada
JubiIant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put ting
Naturally Fertile Land in Splen-
did Condition, and BountifuI
Yields Are Assured.

What a delightful winter we have
had," is an expression that could be
heard almost anywhere when the
topic of the weather became the SUBJ
Ject OF conversation. Not only in the
Middle West and "down east" could
it be heard, but also in the Far West,
up in the Canadian West. There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth a wonderful winter ex-
listed. Reports from all parts of the
country, from famed Medicine Hat in
Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba, in.
dicate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December, we read
that golf playing had put into the dis
card all ice sports, that farmers were
caught "red-handed' blowing their
fields. In January, the Alberta yeO-
man got out his tractor and in his
shirt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in Saskatchewan, one
farmer narrowed fifty acres and
planted the seed. "Why, yes, of
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer, who had just heard from his
son, who was looking after the West
ern Canadian farm, my boy writes
me they had some snow, and a few
cold dips, but what did that matteri
The cattle and the horses came
through the winter in better condition
than they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the prai-
ries, the stubble was rich and valu'
able as food, and the straw stacks
and groves proved ample for shelter"
Spring is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery is
all in shape for springs work, and
he is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was
splendid lot of moisture that perme-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
a perfect seed bed. Indications are
condition required for successful ger
mination. Then, with the heightened
days of May and June, the many
hours of sunshine that they bring, ac-
| companied by showers of rain, and
with a soil of which there is none
richer nor more generous, there will
be seen preparing for ripening har-
vest the hundreds of thousands of
acres of wheat, oats, barley, rye, al
falfa and corn that will make the
hearts of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride as they reasonably
look forward to an abundant harvest.
There is a great deal that can be
said in favor of the climate of West
ern Canada. The most important is
that those who live there, and have
lived in other countries, prefer it to
any they have experienced elsewhere.
1t is true the winters as a rule are
colder than are those in countries
lying much farther south, but it is
also true that they are tempered by
dryness Of the atmosphere that
makes lower temperature preferable
to that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Enerva-
ton and listlessness are unknown;
the air is bracing, but the cold is not
Penetrating Then the summers and
the autumns-they could not be NOR

triangle OF trade routes, with us sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this isolated Pacific tri-
angle are the Marshall islands.
Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer, a voyage of more than
5000 miles. The only other method of
egresS was a steamer to Ponape
which connected with a French line
to Singapore.
Like two loosely strung chains of
jewels, the islands stretch from north
west to southeast, each with its la
goon setting encased by a strangely
shaped circlet of coral, some like tri-
angles, harps and stirrups, and one
outlining a bulls head with its horns.
Straight haired, dark brown natives,
still preserving the religious signifi-
canoe of tattoo and taboo, are to be
found. Once a sturdy, reliant, sea-
faring people, for they were the best
mariners in the Pacific, the white
mans coming, as in tbe case of his
advent among the Eskimo and the
Indian, did not seem wholly beneficial.
| In teaching them ways to live more
easily civilization robbed them of that
boldness and adventure winch made
them the hardest OF the Microneasian
peoples. Many of the young died Of
| tuberculosis.
Skillful and fearless navigators, the
natives used bread-tree wood to make
sailing canoes in which they would
voyage for months. They devised
charts, made of sticks, showing the
locations of islands and the directions
of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predomi-
nant religious sentiment. With peti-
tions and gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits were supposed
to return to earth In certain palm
trees which they set off in stone en-
closures. Birds and fishes sometimes
embodied these spirits, they believed,
and thus certain species became ia
boo.
Homes Of the natives were not pre-
tentiOus. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats, and
thatched roofs covered the combina-
tion house and storage room.
The two island groups are known as
the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area Is not more than 16C
square miles; their native population
before the war was 15,000 with fewer
than 300 foreigners. The seat of Ger
man government was on Jaluit and the
most populous island is Majeru, with
but 1000 persons.
Other explorers had touched at the
islands but they, with the Gilbert
} group, took their names from Cap
tains Marshall and Gilbert who ex
plored them in 17S8 The German!
} annexed the islands in 1886.

FORMER AUSTRIAN NAVAL
BASE. NOW ITALIAN
STRONGHOLD

Pola, formerly important to Austria
as its naval base, now is equally i'm
portant to Italy, for a different rea-
son. A glance at a map of the Adriatic
will show that the possession of Pola,
and the recent acquisition Of the island
Of Cherso, by the terms of the Rapallo
agreement, give Italy control of the
water route to Fiume.
Situated near the extremity of the
Istrian peninsula, IS miles by rail
southwest of Trieste, Pola's sole i'm
portant activity before the war was
connected with the repairing, provi-
sioning and harboring Of the Austrian
naval forces. The town is virtually
without industrial establishments or
manufactures.
In 1900 the population of Pola was
about what it had been eighteen CEN
turies before under the rule of Roman
emperors. During the succeeding ten
years, however, it grew from $4,000 to
10000.
The practically land-locked harbor
is divided, the upper or northern half
being the commercial roadstead, and
the lower half (below the chain bridge
which connects Scoglio Olivi, or Olive
island, with the mainland) being the
Porto Militare, with the extensive ma
rine arsenal on the southeastern shore.
The city itself clusters around a
castle-crowned hill which was once the
site of the Roman capitol. The cas-
tie is a memento of the days of Vene-
tian prowess.
It's settlement is attributed to the Col
chians who pursued Jason and his
argonauts. PoIa's splendid harbor be-
came a Roman possession in 17S B. c.,
but julius Caesar destroyed it for hav-
ing espoused the cause of Pompey.
Some years later it was rebuilt by the
Emperor Augustus at the instance, ac-
cording to Pliny, Of his beloved daugh-
ter Julia.
The most impressive ruin in Pola
is the vast amphitheater, erected at
the beginning of the Christian era in
honor Of the emperors, Septimius
Severus and Caracalla. This is be-
lieved to be the only Roman amphi-
theater whose outer walls have with
stood the ravages of time and of man.
The interior, however, is badly dis
mantled and the foundation walls at
one end, centuries ago, were extensive
ly quarried by the Venetians who de-
sired the white Istrian limestone for
the erection of their own palaces.
About the middle of the 18th CEN
tury Pola became a Venetian city. In
the destructive wars, which resulted
from the rivalry between Venice and
Genoa to control the commerce of the
world two centuries later, this port
across the Adriatic from its parent re-
public suffered often and grievously.
1t was completely destroyed in 1879,
and for nearly four and half cen
turies it lay dormant. 1t passed to
Austria at the end of the Napoleontc
wars, however, and its modern growth
dates from 1S4S, when it was selected
as an Austrian naval base.
Pola lies almost due east of Venice,
a distance Of rs miles across the
Adriatic.

by this means at an interval Of 25

Canada's Greatest River

The Mackenzie river is one of the
great streams Of the world, draining
an area of GIT, 400 square miles and
discharging into the Arctic ocean at
the rate of 100000 cubic feet per sec
ond. It's vast basin is unique, since part
is on one side of the Rocky noun
tains and part on the other. Out of
the western part flow the two large
tributaries. the Laird and the Peace
rivers. Another, the Athabasca, has
