Hlclh, whbh Is about -a fa' hoi',, as is Cairo, 111, with an una of 9.000 square miles lias mote earth quakes atht more big i-vonta in tie progress of mankind crowded Into Its history than any other Island of Ku rope. Sicily mas not always an Island. Once It waa part of an Isthmus con necting Italy .with Afrten. Then the Mediterranean was two sous one i l the east and the other to th- west1 o- Sicily. When the Atlantic m Allien from Spain, the same con i vulslon made Sicily an Island. It Is a strange Island on which all races of the world hne contend ed for mastery, and m .which all havo left their Imprint. Hefore Solomon was writing love sick poetry to the queen of Shebn. the fanaantte f I'boeniclans) had es tablished trading posts on this Isl and, goon after came the (iroek mer chants and traders. Then came tne Phoenician mer chants transplanted to Carthage, and the tsrfidadle esht rmh mh mhwh the first deadly conflict between the. Aryan and Semitic race for the rolersNp of Huropo for the nmsteiy of the world, even to this day was Joined on this Island. The confllctiiiR forces appealed to Ilaal Moloch ami to Zeus. The (ireek fought both Carthagen inns nor Romans. In the end. the Itn mans beat Imth, but the Oreeks re malned dominant In Sicily under Ho man overlordshlp. During this thousand years the great city of Syracuse .was the clear ing port for the sea commerce ol the world.

If the Semitic races lost a foot hold In Sicily before the coining of Christ, they made a second grand or fort to secure It when the Roman empire began to fall or Its own rot tenness. Saracens crowded Into the island when their hrothers InvaJed Spain. They were fought hack by the ar mies of the emperors or the Roman empire of the cast, but they ,e .1 on two hundred years. The Normans moved into SIcll.. when William Invaded Hngland. anil under the . rmnn ru' r alt regions all races and all thluqa were toler ated. The Sicilian, then. Is moro Greek than Roman, airi has In him a dash of the Saracenic, along with ft blend of Norman blood. In tho Island are tho ruins of dead natJons, the traces of dead rollgloiih mid the tnomiHionts of dead clrtllrt tlon. There are Greek temples !)
