"Of the $2,000,000 of export trade enjoyed by Tripoli before the war. one-fifth of it was produced by the sponge divers, more than onthird of It by the esparto pickers, and con- siaeraoiy more man one-sixth was brought over the wide, treacherous desert from the Soudan. Many cara-1 Vans, some of a few and some of aj thousand camels, fitted out In Tripoli,! and undertook the danger : fraught i journeys to the great marts of Sou-! danese trade Timbuktu, Kano, Ka ncm, Kuka, Eorriu, and Wadl. These journeys sometimes last two years around, and brought their undertak ers into .every species of danger that the desert affords. Robbers infest all the lanes across the desert, and be sides these, all the Uiner desert lies subject to the vengeful caprice of the masked Tuaregs, the strange" people who are at war with all who cross their paths and do not pay a suftl dent tribute. The bonea of the cam els and men of a myriad of caravans of the past bleach along" the desert trails, caravans-that mostly came to harm at the hands of marauders, by there are some among them destroyed by thirst, by the sand storm, or by the water of wells poisoned in inter tribal wars. Of all three risky Trlpol- i ltan trades, the caravan trade Is the most risky: and the old caravan men will find little In the newer Industry of war- for whlcTi their peace time labors hive not fully prepared them."

Tripoli, 'he highly inflamable jana of Arab and Berber, has exchanged Its peane time industries for the industry of war. and, according to a statement ,int ntTPared by the National Geo graphic society at Washington, ; the newer industry adds little to the nor mal hazard of Trlpolitan life. The statement reads: "Danger is the dally bread and meat of the dweller' In Tripoli, and, in this uid fringed with narrow strips of an d friiiiied with narrow strips of coastal vegetation, even the principal native pursuits for wealth and happi ness are accompanied by hidden ter ror and grave risk. The three prin cipal sources of income to Tripolitans are thosii of sponge gathering, of es parto picking, and pf carrying on the trans-Suliaran caravan trade.

The foresight of the stockmen In providing winter feed, which is now generally practiced, makes a re currence of the former immense loss es very unlikely.
