Silk—the real article—seems to have been mainly responsible for one of the most romantic and adventurous highways in the world, a rough road over the arid desert o£ Qobi running between vast mountain regions of th'e most desolate aspect. Long before the Christian era merchants ' laden with China silks . dared the perils and endured the sufferings of this long trek, by means of which -the bazaars of Bagdad t and Tyre were replenished at long intervals. The story of that road, if ever retold by a poet, might eclipse the "Songs of Araby and Tales of Fair Cashmir."
