STAR AND CRESCENT.
Origin Of tho Symbols Used on tho
Turkish Flag.

Turkisi, Flag.
Very ancient are the star and
crescent Of the Turkish flag. Their
origin is explained as follows: The
characters of the language Of Mes
opotamia, like the Egyptian, were
originally hieroglyphic. One of the
early picture words was a crescent
and star, and this picture, which
was pronounced "shiptu," was en-
ployed to express an incarnation or
exorcism or anything capable of
driving the evil spirit from the
body Of which it had taken posses
sion. Clay tablets recording the
ancient exorcisms have been found
in the ruins Of Mesopotamia, and at
the beginning of such tablets ap.
pears the sign which developed
from the crescent and star. The
symbol therefore may have been
not only the word for incarnation.
but a charm from which the evil
spirits were supposed to flee. In
every age in the orient the people
have possessed similar charms. The
Assyrian kings stationed winged
monsters with forms half human at
their gatcways to keep all evil from
entering within the palace. The
poorer people suspended clay tab
lets above the entrances OF their
houses. The modern oriental may
purchase in the bazaars blue glass
beads, verses from the Koran wrap
ped in leather cases and other de-
vices to serve similar purpose.
The crescent and star formed q
symbol which the Mcsopotamian OF
5000 years ago employed as a
charm.
Among the early peoples of Mes
opotamia all of the heavenly
bodies were regarded as deities, but
the moon, because Of the variety
of the shapes which it assumes,
was inc CIllcl VI lllcIIi an DPSN'"i
reverence was therefore paid 1t and
some Of the oldest and most I'M
portant Of the Babylonian temples,
as at Ur and Haran, were devoted
to its worship. Thus the crescent,
the symbol by which the moon god
was represented, was supposed to
have the power to avert evil, and
then together with the star it form
ed the word for incarnation.
When Babylonia passed into the
hands Of the Pcrsians the symbol
appeared upon the coins. From the
Persians it was transmitted to the
Parthians, the Byzantlncs, the Ko-
mans and the Greeks. Finally the
Turks, who succeeded in the pos
session Of the greater part OF the
countries of the ancient world,
adopted it as a device for their
flag.-Chicago News.

base pointing sideways. These,
coming in contact with the rays OF
