MONEY IN SALONIKI.
Why the Merest Glimpae of It Will
Produce a Near Riot.
In normal times, Lf Saloniki Is ever
normal, she has a population of 120,-
000, and every one of those 120.000 Is
personally interested in any one else
who engages or may be about to en |
Kane in a money transaction. In New
Voik if a horse falls clown there Is at
once an audience of a dozen persons. In
Saloniki the dowufall of a horse la no
body's business, but a copprr coin
changing hands Is everybody's. Of this
local cbainrterlstle Jolin T. McCutch-
eon and I made a careful study, and
the result of our Investigations pro-
duced certain statistics.
If in Saloniki you buy a newspapei
from a newsboy, of the persons passing
two will stop; If at an open shop you
buy a package of cigarettes live people
will look over your shoulders; If you
pay your rab driver his fare you block
the sidewalk, and If you try to change
a 100 franc note you cause a riot. In
each block there are nmrly a half
doxen money changers. They sit In lit
tie shops ax narrow as a doorway, and
In front of them Is a showcase tilled
with all the moneys of the world.
It Is not alone tiie sight of your 100
franc note that euchanis the crowd.
That collects the crowd, but what holds
the crowd Is that It knows there are
twenty different kind* of money, all
current In Saloniki, Into which your
note <*an lie changed. And they kuow
the money changer knows that and
that you do not So en eh man advises
you—not because he does not want to
see you cheated (between you nnd the
money changer lie Is neutral), but be
cause he <nn no more keep out of a
money deal than enn a tly pass a sugar
bowl.
The men on the outskirts of the
crowd ask. "VVIuit does lie offer'/"
The lucky ones In the front row
seats call back "A hundred and eight-
een drachmas." The rear ranks shout
with Indignation: "It |m robbery!" "If
is because lie changes his money In
Venluelos street!" "lie Is paying the
money changer's rent!" "In the Jewish
quarter they are giving nineteen!" "He
is too lazy to walk two utiles for a
drachma? I'licn let h^m go to the
Greek Papnnastiisslonl"- Klchard Har-
ding Davis in Scribner's.
FRANCE IS VERY GREEN.
Every Possible Shade la Shown In Ita
Amazing Vegetation.
If might fairly be said that the gen
enil Impression France as a whole
leaves upon the beholder Is green.
Perpetually moist of climate except
in the south -endowed with heavy and
continuous rainfalls and having a tern- i
perature which Is astonishingly even
year in and year out, the country is
like an enormous hothouse.
1 vTI,<! re8l,lt Is H Ktudy In greens of
every conceivable and Inconceivable
shade. \ erdure and foliage ran go
from greens that are gray or black to
greens that are hardly more than yel-
low. From the hardy pastures high
upon the sides of the towering Pelvouz
range, thouaauds of feet above the sea.
to the cactus and agaves and olives
that grow at the water's edge the ver
dant nuances are a revelation in rural
coloring.
But France Is not all green either
That Is only the background, the filler,
as It were, for a warm toned picture
full of high lights, touched with the
gold of grain, the ruddy tiles of an
dent roofs, the fiery spatter of pop-
ples, the tawny flood of a river or the
steely thread of a brook, and on the
glistening southern shore, with cllfTs
as red us any soil New Jersey boasts,
water like melted sapphires, villas cov-
ered with majolica tiles that make the
beholder rub his eyes and wonder If he
Is dreaming the amazing inebrltles of
style and color that strive to but can
not shatter the harmony of creation.—
