Mill 10 Veteran In Service.

Residents along the New York and
connecticut shores Of Long Island
Sound are familiar with an interesting
old mill, still in operation, which was
erected at the close Of the Revolution
and has been in more or less con-
slant operation ever since. Original
~ power was developed through two
undershot wheels which, in course Of
time, were replaced by turbines. The
waters are impounded at high tide in
an artificial basin and are released
when the tide commences to tall.

of the Bible In the churches OF
Europe.
It was in 1892, or about the time
that the first expedition under
Columbus sailed on it's voyage of
discovery, that the Moslem Saracens
were driven out of Spain, but the
Moslem Turks had invaded Eastern
Europe and conquered Constan-
tinople. This great city was
founded by Constantine the Great,
the first Christian Emperor of Rome,
and made by him his capital and the
capital Of the world in the year 235
A. D. But Constantine had been
dead a thousand years when the
Turks came.
1t was on May 29, 1853, that the
Turks appeared before the gates of
Constantinople. The city was taken
by storm and that was the end of
what had been the last capital and
seat OF Greek and Roman civilization
and world dominion. The victorious
Moslem army poured into the city
like torrent; the last depository of
the rich spoils of Rome's world
conquests became the plunder of
Asiatic barbarians and fanatics.
Among their inexpressibly rich
spoils was Constantine's great
church, st. Sophia. The heather
temples OF antiquity had been
plundered of their carvings, their
columns and pillars of the most
costly marbles to enrich II, and the
walls were encrusted with Sacred
Scripture scenes In mosaic, the colors
composed of myriad precious jewel
stones. It's splendor was not
equaled nor was its like to be found
In the whole world.
The Sultan Mohammed II. de-
termined to preserve II for a mosque,
but the jeweled representations Of
the cross and other emblems of
Christianity were more than the
Moslem could endure. Instead of
destroying them, he had them COW
cred with coat OF whitewash which
effaced but did not ruin them.
There has long been a tradition to
the effect that when the pictures
wrought In jewels shall again make
their appearance on the walls OF this
great church It will be sign that
Moslem power has been broken and
that the Turks will be driven from
Europe. II has been reported that
the. coating is wearing off and that
some Of the outlines OF the objects SO
long concealed are beginning TO ap-
pear. or course another coating OF
whitewash would blot them out
again, but without regard to tradi-
tion or superstitioRs, the situation
brought about by the present war OF
the Balkan States against Turkey
indicates the end OF Moslem domin-
ion in Europe Is near at hand. II Is
much to be doubted II Russia would
allow Bulgaria or any other country
but herself to own Constantinople.
yet there is reason TO believe that
Russla's ownership of the key city
on the shortest route between Eur
ope and Asia would be highly dis
tasteful to Germany and Austria.
What the end will be can not be
predicted with certainty. but every
lover Of justice must be anxious TO
see the last vestige OF Mohammedan-
ism expelled from territories where
Christian peoples live.
