the Bosphorus possesses an indenta.
ton of similar shape on the other
shore. This no doubt is what gave
rise to the supposition. AS l crossed
the Bosphorus in one of the frail barks
known to the natives as a caique, re.
called what Horace said:
ITO the mad Bospohrus my bark I'll
guide,
And tempt the terrors of its raging
tide"
The caique is very much like an
Indian canoe, and must confess that
| had no desire to guide the one
which carried me to Scutari
At the narrowest part of the Bos.
phorus, about seven miles above Con-
stantinople, the Greeks in olden days
had built towers one on the Asiatic,
the other on the European shore.
These guarded the passage of the
strait. The Greeks had abandoned the
tower on the Asiatic shore and had
permitted 1t to become a ruin. The
Ottoman, seeing its value, took pos
session of it, and, as the Greeks raised
but feeble objection, they soon pos
sessed themselves of the other tower,
scarcely two thousand feet away,
which they rebuilt and strongly forti.
fed, and this was their first start to-
wards the subjugation of southwestern
Europe. These towers still exist. the
one on the Anatolian shore being
called Anadoli Hissar, named also
"the tower of Oblivion" because pris.
oners confined there were never heard
Of more; the other bearing the name
Of Roumeli Hissar, or the tower of
the Romans. These towers are at
about the very narrowest part of the
Bosphorus, of which Pliny said, You
can hear in one continent the dogs
bark and the birds sing in the other"
You can also hear the OK believing,
the name Bosphorus being derived
from the Greek name for OK, bous.
Once Roman Capital.
Under the name Byzantion city was
built on the site now occupied by
Stamboul long before the founding OF
Rome, and like Rome, it was built on
seven hills. When Constantine had
concluded to remove his seat OF EN-.
pire from Rome to the east, he saw
the beauty and superiority of this To-
cation over that of Rome, and hence,
in $50 he made Byzantion his capital,
and the capital of the Roman empire,
naming 1t for himself, Constantinople.
1t has been capital ever since, and
it will likely continue to be capital
for all time, Turk or no Turk, because
1t Is the situation for great capital
city.
Its septicollian feature Is a matter
Of the distant past, and 1t is today a
city of many hills, which with the In.
termediate valleys have been covered
In all directions with buildings Of
every description. These are mainly
of wood, Of inferior architecture and
construction, ready for fire at a mo.
ment's notice, although interspersed
among them are many noble edihces.
The new palace of Dolma-Bagtche, on
the Bosphorus, is at once beautiful
and superb in dimensions, constructed
of marble, with front of about $500
feet, and said to possess one of the
most complete interiors of any in Eu.
rope, and here the Padishah Of all the
Ottomans resides. When Abdul the
Damned" was master, 1t was estimet-
ed that there were 400 pianos in It,
each one "womaned" by one OF his
ladies', but must confess my only au.
thority for this is newspaper. The

production, with a large number of
farmers on comparatively small tracts,
already served by steam and electric
roads connecting them with markets.
But the transportation lines are not
enough in themselves to settle up this
type of land and make it productive.
Drainage, lining and rotation are
needed to put this land in shape to at
tract the settler and make his work
profitable. My enthusiasm leads me
to hope that the majority of land own
ers concerned will unite in vigorous
cooperation to bring this fine body of
white land into profitable bearing"

most beautiful sights | have ever be-
held presented itself, writes CORE
Bpondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch.
AS our vessel mosied along past the
Princess islands in the early morning
OF delightful August day, thus per-
mitting the city to be gradually un-
folded to our expectant gaze, stood
and watched the enhancing scene
with pleasure have rarely felt. On
and on we proceeded, each minute
showing some new object for admira-
ton. The sky was all aglow and the
morning sun was showering a shining
efulgence upon sea and land.
Afar off to the right on the Asiatic
shores were discernible Mount Olym-
pus, then the little city of Chalcedon,
Following which came the great Turk
ish cemetery, enshrouded in expresses,
miles in extent and said to be the
largest in the world, and next the city
of Scutari nestled under the great
Mount Bourgerloo. On the European
shore, proud Stamboul, the crowded
Turkish quarter of Constantinople,
with her violent contrast of palaces
and novels, her exquisite mosques,
churches, bazaars and fountains, lift
ed her lofty head above the waters;
then we passed the Heptapurgon, or
the famous seven towers, in which
Mahomet II. packed his share of the
swag when he captured the city from
the Greeks in 1853; and presently the
Maiden's Tower came in sight and we
began to notice the flow of the rush
ing waters Of the Bosphorus as they
debouched into the Sea of Marmora.
Very soon we rounded Seraglio Point
and were disembarking in the Golden
Horn.
Resembles Pittsburgh.
There is no city in which its conf1g.
uration more nearly resembles Pitts
burgh than Constantinpole. The same
! great hills everywhere. In Stamboul
We have Pittsburgh proper, while Sou
tart, over in Anatolia, made famous
by its hospital service in the days of
the Crimean war, holds the position of
Allegheny. Pera and Galata, the
abodes of the Venetian allies OF Con.
stantine Palaeologue, are Mount Wash
ington and the Southside. Beautiful
suburbs abound in all directions.
The Golden Horn, the splendid har.
Dor of the city, is located like the Mo-
nongahela river; the Bosphorus like
the Ohio river, and the Sea of Mar
mora occupies the position of the AL
legheny river.
The beautiful and romantic strait,
called the Bosphorus. is a swift fow-
ing stream, running about five miles
an hour, varying in width from a mile
and half to less than half mile,
while its length is 18 miles from Ser
aglio Points to the Black sea. The
excursion boats which make the trip
from the city to the Black sea, stop
ping at Therapia, where the United
States minister resides in summer,
and and Buyakdere on the way. are
most enjoyable and entertaining
It has been seriously contended that
the Black sea, many ages ago, was a
closed body Of water, and that during
q great earthquake the land was rent
asunder, forming this narrow strait
through which the water from the Eux.
ine forced its way to the Aegean. Be
this as 1t may, 1t is curious fact that
