A writer to the Times says There is a vast area of the world of which it might be said with truth that the surface of the moon itself is better known, and, after the fashion of great things neglect- ed, it may one day very terribly revenge itself. For with every day in the modern world it be comes more end more apparent. that one i man's greatest crimes is ignorance, remediable ignor- ance-that is, the kind of igo:- ance that hides its head in the sand and insists on blunder. ing on its
the way in face of all warnings of probabilities and history. This area is greater than a continent, for it is in itself the better half of two continents. The forces of Nature have hedged it about with inaccessibilities, and, lest these should be insufficient, knowing man's insatiable greed and cur- iosity, hare suffered it to lie under an imputation of useless- Dess and want of interest more effectual as a barrier than rivers or mountain peaks.
Darkest Africa has ceased to be Central quite dark, but over Eurasia there bangs a curse, a Letbean veil like the dust clouds over an earthquake-buried city. It is little more than the Old World's graveyard, just a place of skulls and dry bones. Yet, did it never strike one that Nature may just have laid it by? She has not forgotten it. She is a crafty dame, working with a fine dis- regard of man, and while he that he is cajoles himself

Where they have been they can be again. Something of these ideas stined in me when I found myself a traveller on the confines of these regions, and when I heard from men who had come from the midst of them, as men might come out of a dream and meet one on the roadway, the unbelievable tales of peoples remote and en- known.
From where I pitched my small tent at night and lay with my camelmen around me jabbering by their thorn fire to the verge of the Arctic itself was one great desert whereon men were moving like cloud shadows across the sea, mored, but had no homes. They were the descendants of men who had carved out Empires. never- theless. Were they only biding their time! For Central Asia has ever been the world's reservoir of conquerors.
