SCENES IN ASIA MINOR 



THE quaint pictures of the people 

 and country of Central Asia 

 Minor, given on pages 172-193, were 

 sent to this Magazine by Mr H. W. 

 Hicks, of New York, a member of the 

 National Geographic Society. Nearly all 

 the illustrations are from Mr Hicks' 

 camera. They admirably portray every- 



day life in the Asiatic provinces of the 

 Ottoman Empire, described by Mr Ells- 

 worth Huntington in "The Mountaineers 

 of the Euphrates," published in this num- 

 ber, and in "Sunshine in Turkey," by 

 President Howard S. Bliss, which ap- 

 peared in the January number of this 

 Magazine.
