ART IN TURKISH MOSQUE
Downfall of Constantinople May Re-
 store Ancient Works

From the New York Herald.
 If the Balkan allies capture Gonstanti- nople and regain possession for Chris
 tianity of the mosque of St. Sophia it
 will mean almost as much to art as it
 will to politics, was tho substance of
 statements made by pr. Hofstede de Groot. of The Hague, the world famous
 art authority. who is in New York, and by C. Calusd, the Turkish painter. who came to this country last June. If the Christians again come into possession of St sophia, these men say, 1t goes with out question that they will remove the whitewash from the mosaic pictures in the great dome, those earliest examples of Byzantine art, which have been ob- scured from the human eye ever since the Turks captured Constantinople In ll53,
 These mosaic pictures were made in the reign of the Emperor Justlnian, who
 built St. Sophia, between the years 5s2 and 562. The church was designed by AsiatieA and the mosaics were the prod uct of the art of Asla Minor, being an
 evolution Of the art of the Persia of tie Sassanides. Later Byzantine art, that of four or five centuries after Justinan, in- spired the early art Of Italy. and thus the art of the whole western world. The obseured mosaics in the mosque, there fore. constitute a missing link between
 the art of ancient Asia and that of the modern Occident, and as such is of great
 interest to students.
 When the Turks captured constanti- nople in 1453. they immediately took over
 the church of St Sophia as a place for Mosem worship" said pr. de Groot. They took the cross off the dome and substituted the crescent. and from the inside they removed all Christian em-
 blems Not wishing to remodel the build ing, they let the mosaics stay, but they
 covered them with whitewash, it being against the law of Mahomet for the faith full to make or to have images. The church itself they found exactly to their | tastes because it vas distinctively Asiatic in it's architecture.
 "A mosque Is a place so sacred that no
 unbeliever is permitted 10 set his foot inside, so for three full centuries no Christian had a view of even the white wash that covered the mosaics. In the middle of the nineteenth century, how ever when extensive repairs were being made in the mosque Germany, then on friendly terms with Turkey obtained
 permission 10 send a commission of ar
 chaeologists and sartists to examine the
 interior
 "This commission was able to make out diiny under the whitewash the outlines of the old mosaics, and the sultan granted
 1t permission to make sketches of what
 could be seen. In that way 1t was as- oertained that the pictures depict events
 in the life of Justinian. All the 3plendor
 of the color. however is yet a secret
 Many students of art believe also that
 when the vaults under St. Sophia are
 opened they will reveal priceless manu-
 scripts. some of which may date back to ancient Greece and Rome, and also works of art. They contained bundles of docu-
 ments placed there in the time of the
 Byzantine emperors, and it is thought
 these have been left untouched by the Moslem authorities.

Golgotha

From the Christian Herald.
 The one spot which more than any other has controlled the history of Eu- rope lies, strangely enough, not in Flu rope itself. but in Asia For the posses sion of the site where Christ suffered was buried and rose again." more blood has been shed than for any other. An m- mense number of lives were laid down during the Crusades, and for coo years before the Crusades, and even to the present time, a constant stream of pill grims has poured into Jerusalem to wor- ship at the spot made sacred by the cru cifixion of Christ
 From the Fourth century after Christ until 90 years ago this site was generally conceded to be within the Church of the Holy Sepuichre. Now two sites dispute the claim of being the actual Golgotha The latter claimant Is known as Cor don's Calvary" though to an American, sDr Harlan r.

PHYSICAL CULTURE

Recovered His Health By Correct Diet and
 Exercise

Senator Benjamin R. Tillman. in stead of being dead and buried. as his breakdown few years ago seemed 70 indicate would soon come to pass. Is still in the land of the living and ir- tends to remain here indefinitely. His story as he tells it in Physical Culture Is a tribute to the efficacy of diet and exercise.

that while the dogs suffered to a certain extent from paralysis following the oper- auons they were not oYersensitive 10 pain m their newly acquired limbs.
 The transplantation of internal organs next appealed to pr. Carrel, he said. as an experiment well worth trying. and of deep significance if it should prove suc- cessful.
 He decided to attempt such an operation and selected the kidney as the most cead- fly accessible and the organ likely 10 lend itself best to such an experiment. He extirpated ono kidney from each of two dogs and exchanged these organs The animals were able to walk on the after noon of the day on which they were 6per- ated upon, and were hungry and ,.ble to eat two hours after the operation. He showed a picture of one of these animals, taken two years later. It was jumping to a considerable height for a piece of meat. and. as Dr. Carrel put it, was just as good as ever"
 The noted surgeon pointed out to his au- ditors that the tissues of animals should not be used to replace lost tissue in human beings. He said that the difficulty in transplantation operations for human pati- ents lay in the fact that persons were not anxious to give up their tissues and organs to accommodate those who were in need of them. He said. however, that tissues, when obtainable, could be kept in two ways--in a condition of latent life and condition of active life. The best way to keep them. he said was in cold storage. He thereupon showed pictures of tubes containing human skin which he had kept in cold storage for seven weeks and had used them to save the leg of a human patient.
 Dr. Carrel then gratiied his auditors by telling of his most recent successful work the preservation of living tissues outside the bodies from which they were taken. He said that he had now living in glass jars tissues which had been taken from and that these were not only alive and growing, but were in just as good if lot better condition than they were nine months ago.
 Not satisfied with preserving pieces of heart, spleen or liver, pr. Carrel conceived the idea that it might he possible 60 fnain- tain the life of entire organs, in proper so- lutions outside the body He was able not only to do this but to preserve a whole system of organs. consisting of heart lungs, spleen, kidney stomach and liver forming d complete organism which liyea by itself entirely separated from the brain, formerly supposed to be the seat of life.
 T was able" said pr. Carrel in coneu- sion, "to keep these alive in bath of water, and for F hours I observed the heart beat. the kidney functionate, diges- ton take place In the stomach and bile accumulate in the liver Very few # these procedures are applicable at present. to human beings.''

of the sutures Sf 1sfood Vessels and the Transplantation of Organs The pictures, therefore, illustrated sections of veins, and arteries upon which operations had been narformed, showing the successful results; organs such as kidneys, which had been transplanted from one animal to another, and which retained their functions nor mally and pictures of dogs which had had their legs removed and others sub stituted with such perfect technique that no scar line could be observed
 pr. Carrel began his lecture with The de- scription of his simplest and earliest two operations which had to do with the trans fusion of blood and the transplantation of arteries and veins Tn this connection he told of the case of child two days old which was suffering from hemopnilia. more commonly known as henlorrhage tf the newborn. The infant was in a critical condition when Dr. Carrel was persuaded to use the method of transmission which he had devised. The father of the ehild a weil-known physician of this city, Solun- teered to give the blood. An artery in the fathers arm and a vein back of the child B knee were opened. The two blood vessels were united and quantity of blood trans Iused. In few minutes all symptoms dlsappeared; the childs bleeding ceased and It's skin took on the rosy tint Of health. This child was absolutely cured of a dangerous and possibly fatal aiment in less than half an hour
 The surgeon next took up the considers ton of the possibility of removing large sections of tissue from an animal and after time replacing them with success full results. He showed pictures of dog from which he had removed the right ear, the subjaeent tissues, and a large part of the skull. He washed this large mass of tissues in a salt solution. and after a time replaced them with the re- suit that they grew on again in a normal manner. This convinced him that 1t was a safe procedure to remove tissues when necessary and to replace them at will. He expected, he said, that with improved technique, it would be feasible to Ter form such operations on human beings.
 The next step in experimental surgery shown by pr. Carrel was the fransplanTa- tion of the hind legs of dogs. He showed a series of pictures indicating the condi- tions of the animals. both before and after these operations, and he declared
