NO TURKISH BATHS IN TURKEY.
Nearest to Them Is the Hammam,
Which Has Some Resemblance.

From the Review of the Week
"Is tine Turkish bath known in
Turkcy?' This curious question is not
infrcqucntly put to travellers from the
East by people in this country. 1t is
true there is not much resemblance
between the external appearance and
management of the so-called Turkish
bath in England and those Of the
"hammam" in Turkey.
Outwardy the "hammam" usually
presents something of the appearance
Of a dOmed sepulchral edifice. OF the
little domes or cupolas which rise from
its roof that in the middle Is the high
est, and is set with many small win
dows for the purpose of lighting the
bath. The massive walls that form
tbs sides of he "hammam" have no
windows and it is thought that if the
walls were pierced 5he outside air
would penetrate into the interior and
cause variations in the evenness of
temperature which il is held desirable
to maintain, The interior thus often
becomes very close, as ventilation is
very slow, being through the opening
by passers, to and from of the double
doors of the passage which leads to the
cool entrance hall. Every now and
then the attendants burn frankincense
in the interior of the bath with the
idea of purifying the air,
The great warm hail under the cen-
tral dome has generally three large
inches, two on each side and one in
front, as well as two little chambers.
Each of these inches and chambers has
roof in the shape of a half hemis-
phere, which contains a few tiny glass
apertures, and which Is joined To the
central dome roof, In all these inches
and chambers there are, according ia
! the size of the bath, one. two or three
marble basins which are fixed in the
low part of the wall, each basin be
of ladies. In some places ladies go TO
