early days he was conqueror wher-

Made Great by NTohammed.
Starting from a point nearly in the
geographical center of Asia, the Turks
became subject to the Saracens, those
wild Arabs that invaded Spain and
have left many scattered fragments Of
their genius in the science and the art
of modern Europe. The Arabs devel-
oped a religious organizer of the first
rank in the history of the world, Mo
manned. In the siXty-One years Of his
life that ended in 632 this wonderful
man laid the foundations Of a great
empire The Turks embraced Moham-
mechanism and Mohammedanism made
them a world power. It pressed them
forward to conquest after conquest.
Under Mohammedan rule Constan-
tinople became semi-oriental city.
The Christian churches were trans
formed into mosques: the streets and
buildings took on an appearance of
Asia rather than Europe; the local as
well as the general government became
surcharged with suspicion, intrigue
and despotism. These conditions have
continued with little change down to
the present day. But the desire for
change IS abroad, as is evident from
the young Turk moyement-unleSs this
NOV ement after all should prove only
an attempt to substitute one despotism
for another. Nothing certain can be
said about the Turks apparent desire
for progress.
Mosque a Famous Spot.
Aside from the Sultan's palace and
the other government buildings, the
most interesting structure in COnstan-
tinople to the ordinary tourist is the
mosque of ST. Sophia. Its interior is
considered one of the finest specimens
Of Byzantine architecture. As the
Christian church Of the divine wisdom
the first stone of the building was laid
in 532 on the site of several successive
churches of the same name the first
of which was erected by Constantine
the Great.
Galata and Pera are chiefly inhab-
tied by Christians. Here are the diplo-
matte headquarters of foreign countries
and other non-TurkiSh institutions.
