Excerpt from Trading With the Far East The terms "Asia" and "Europe," applied by the Phoenicians and later by the Greeks to the sections occupying respectively the areas at the east and the west, were intended only as general designations for those respective sections; but have been retained as their permanent geographic names, while the general title now given by geographers to the Great Continent comprising both Europe and Asia is "Eurasia." Its area, combining the two sections which we call Europe and Asia, is 21,000,000 square miles, or 40% of the land surface of the world, and its population 1,350,000,000, or 75% of that of the entire globe. The boundary between Asia and Europe as generally accepted by geographers is the Ural Mountains and River, at the north, the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea, and the Dardanelles. Interior Sparsely Settled The interior of the Asiatic continent, lying behind the narrow and densely populated coastal region running along the Indian and Pacific oceans, consists of deserts and semi-deserts in the central part, frozen tundras at the extreme north, and at the south great mountain ranges whose enormous areas and extreme altitude have given to a certain section thereof the title of "The Roof of the World." This great interior, which lies at an average level of about 15,000 feet above the sea, receives little moisture from the oceans, and is at the best but sparsely populated, Mongolia averaging little more than one person per square mile, Chinese Turkestan two per square mile, Siberia two per square mile, and Tibet four per square mile.
