AN ARCHITECTURAL MARVEL
81. Sophia and tts Wonderful Dome
That 10 Said to Be Doomed.

The world would mourn were the
great dome of St Sophiu to fall There
are persistent reports that the struc-
ture Is Ia danger. that the masonry Is
rotten aud crumbling and that the
nnai doom of the edihce is not far OF.
When II is remembered hat st. So
phla WIS built ia the sixth century,
that II has for more than thirteen cen
turtles withsiood the vicissitudes Of
fires. earthquakes. sackings and bonn
bardments. rain and wind. heat and
cold. the marvel Is that II has endured
so long Having stood through all
these ages. there Will be the keenest
regret II II finally yields to the destruc-
tive forces Il nature.
St Sophia Is often spoken OF as the
grandest monument OF Christian archi
lecture. II is the perfection of the
Byzantine style. differing from the ear
ly Romanesque and late renaissance
OF western Europe and the beautiful
Gothic which must be considered the
Ideal OF ecclesiastical architecture. 1t
may not be as impressive as other
great edifces built from Eve to ten
centuries later. but Its strength, solid
lty and grandeur, together with its
great antiquity, give 1t a place unique
among churches.
The collapse of st. Sophia's dome
would be "A greater loss than was the
fall OF the Venetian campanile. and Its
reconstruction would be utterly impos-
sible. The problems OF its building
were 30 intricate and complex that the
secret of them died with the architect
Anthenius In the sixth century. 1t has
been said that st. Sophia. 'ltke Kar-
max. In Egypt, or the Athenian Parthe-
non. Is n Of the four great pinnacles
of architecture; but. unlike them, 1t is
no ruin. nor Ices 1t belong to a past
world OF constructive ideas. although
II precedes by 700 years the fourth
of the building art In
Charities. Amiens or Bourges and thus
must ever stand as the supreme monu-
ment of the Christian cycle."-Cleve-

TURKISH ST0ICISM.
A Very Poor Shot and a Perfectly Good
Natured Target.

Natured Target.
An incident that occurred In the ex-
p%erience of an English officer is told by
the London Spectator to Illustrate the
calmness and indifference to death and
bodily danger characteristic Of the
Turkish soldier.
The officer. accompanied by a guard
OF Turkish soldiers. went to the edge
OF a cliff overlooking the sea to shoot
at a seal that he saw disporting itself
In the water below.
He fired a good many times. and the
last shot had gone very near the bob
bling mark when one of the soldiers
came to him and politely asked. do
you not think. sir. that you have fred
often enough at Sergeant YussufT"
The supposed seal was indeed the
sergeant.
Presently the sergeant came ashore,
put on his clothes and came up the
cliff smilingly. The officer a~pologized
handsomely and blamed himself free
Iy. But Yussuf. like his companions,
did not think there was much to be
concerned about. After all, the mark
had been very small. 1t was natural
TO fire at it. it was unlikely that the Of
hcer would hit 1t. and be (Yussuf) had
not minded 1t at all.

with fright. For four hours the insult.

scorching breath. and then the heavens
opened and emptied what seemed TO be

heads. From parchlng heat the tenn
p%erature sank to a little above freezing
In a few minutes, and then the rain
came down like a sluice, the great
drops %splashing the sand back up to

How did they manage it7
The secret Is simple.
Through the eyes of imagination they
pictured their distant goal as close to

one day dlstant-only one day-and. in

Sometimes through WEAKNESS or dis
