THE CHOICEST SPOT ON ARTH
C~onstantinople, in a geographical point
Of view, may be regarded as the most val
liable tow site in the world, NatnreNseems
to havedesigned Ii to be the capital Of the
Eastern Hemisphere 4tis situated at the
focal point of three continents. remark
able chain of seas, the one running INTO the
other, stretches nerth-easterly, between the
three coitinents-Africa, Europe and ASIA.
They are ira large sense sausage-shaped.
Ry the old pillars of Hercules-the geo
graphical fact perpetuatingg in oElra symool
for eollars~~now the Straits Of Glbralter,'
entwnce is made into the Mediterranean.
By the Dardanellcs a passage IS furnished
from the Mediterranean into the sea or Mar
mora. BY the Boshorus there is an outlet
from the sea of Marmora into tile Black.Sea,
and by the Yenikale the Sea of Azov can
be reached from the last mentioned sen.
All these straits are narrow and winding,
presenting a certain general resemblance.
In the centre Of the series-On the neck OF
land between the Black Sea and the Sea Of
Marmora-sits Constantinople. AN the
trade of Eastern Europe and Western Asia
must, of necessity, flow by its piers. If a
railrord were built from the Black Sea by
the valley of tho Euphrates to India, Con-
stantinople would be the depot for the lat
te- for most Of the commerce of Asia. In
shat caeesit would becogae the. commercial
metropolis of nearly tho whole continent,
in addition to that Off large portion OF Flu
rope. All the foreign trade Of India and
China would be transacted there.
In proper hands and under right auspices
Constantinople will be certain to, become
the great city Of the, future. The ground
OH which it stands is the choicest Oh earth.
Constantine was ahead Of his time by more
thanl,5M years, when he transferred the
seat OF government from Rome to the city
of the Bosptosos, (which bears his name.
