THE KINGDOM OF SPAIN.
XVI-AN ANDALUSLAN CITY.
BY Frederic J.Haskin.

1t is said that when the Christians de-
termined to build the cathedral. In the
fifteenth century, they announced that
they would erect building that would
proclaim them the mightiest or the mad
dest people in the world. More than a
century was required to carry out the
design. Its total area is $4,000 square
feet, exceeded only by st. Peters, IN
to the Spanish saying Toledo la RIGA,
Salamanca la fuerte, Leon ID bella, Sc
Vile la grande."
When King Alfonso seeks quiet and
freedom from the routine duties OF state
he likes to go to Seville for rest. He
brings down number OF horses and
motor cars and makes his headquarters
in the Alcazar. a palace which is next
to the Alhambra in Importance as an
example Of Saracenic architecture In Eu-
rope, although it was built by Christians.
The AlcaZar. like the Alhambra. presents
a severely plain and rather battered eX-
terror, but its interior beauty retains many
features of the original construction. and
it's gardens are the most beautiful sub
tropical gardens of southern Spain.

King Alfonso is said to enjoy his

In old Seville today, rather than any
where else in Spain, there exists the
atmosphere of that Andalusia that is
inseparably associated with romance.

touched this ancient Spanish city that

scribed by Theophile Gautier as ris-

Piles upon the ruins Of Mohammedan
mosques. The Seville Cathedral is, In
fact, a fine example of the building
that resulted from the triumph of the
cross over the crescent.
The life of the city centers around
the Plaza del Triunfo, the Alcazar and
the cathedral The Giralda, an Inn

originally the minaret of a mosque, in
which the Moors WorShiped, and was

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. August 5.-These have been
trying times for the young Prince of
Wales and the lad-he is only seventeen
shows distinctly the continuous strain
to which he has been put. His investi-
ture with the garter, the prominence
given him. in all the coronation cere-
monies, and, lastly. his presentation to
Wales as head man of the ancient prin-
cipality have all been trying occasions.
The prince is naturally a retiring, bash
full youngster, and all who saw him on
the various occasions in which he was
thrust into the limelight remarked on
his worried. not to say frightened, ap-
pearance. One of the most touching evil
dences of his troubled reliance on others
was furnished at Carnarvon when he
said:
Il am very young, but I have my
dear father and mother to support me"
In Need Of Support.
He needed the support, for it was a
very pitiful little face that he carried
through all the pageantry of the Welsh
ceremonials.
According to tradition, the turbulent
Welsh chiefs in the days of Edward
the First refused to be ruled by any but
a native Welsh prince, who could speak
no word of English
Accordingly, the king sent for his queen
Elenor. who, shortly after her arrival at
Carnarvon Castle, gave birth to a sen.
That baby prince. of course, fulfilled botn
conditions. having been born on Welsh
soil and being able to speak no English.
This baby prince was presented to the
Welsh from the queens gate. and that
presentation, after an lapse of 600 years.
was repeated on the present occa aston.
Prince Edward is the nineteenth Prince
of Wales and the seventh of his name,
yet he Is the first to have been invested
with his own principality and to address
his people in their native tongue.

all lovers of the scientific method.
They are accustomed to deal with
nature and not with the supernatural.
And having discovered that many
things which used to keep the world
in awe as being manifestations Of the
supernatural are easily explicable by
natural law they jump to the con-
clusion that there is nothing super
natural in the universe because they
cannot detect its presence by the
reagents of the laboratory or spy 1T

telescopes.
And so they have defied the laws of
nature and outlawed the Deity. In
stead of looking beyond the stars for
light, and even the scientific method
should lead them to believe that there
is something beyond the stars, they
follow a wilI-o'-the- wisp of their own
imagination and are lost in the dismal
swamp of modern infidelity.

kindled, that the Magi followed, but

Philosophy acknowledges herself in

Let scientists come let them dig

worshiped him, and laid at His feet
the precious treasures they had
brought from far.
They Were Scientists.
These men were scientists worthy of
the name. They may not have known
as much of the phenomena of the
universe as many that bear the name
today. They were philosophers in the
truest sense. They had the scientific
spirit and they pursued the scientific
method, and these are the same in
every land and age. And this brings
us face ia face with the burning ques-
ton as to the relation of science and
religion.
1t is a great mistake for the friends
of Christianity to antagonize science,
as perhaps some of them do and many
are charged with doing. We shall
never hear the last of Calico and his
arraignment for heresy by the church
of Rome, because in pursuance of the
scientific method he was constrained
to believe and teach that the earth re-
wolves upon its axis. But it is a big
the church of Rome. The priests and
prelates of the Romanist church have
indeed frequently been distinguished
for scholastic attachments and are to
be credited with the preservation of
many precious literary treasures,
especially during the Dark Ages.
The true church of Jesus Christ has
always been the friend and fosterer
of learning, and almost all the great
universities of the world owe their
very existence to the pious zeal of
Christian men whose motive in found
ing them is beautifully indicated in the
words inscribed over the portals of one

has to do with the works of God, and
what we call religion has to do with
the word of God. And if between
