rurIes' Sacred Tower.

Now the allies feet is attempt
ing to reach Constantinople, 1t would
be interesting to know whether the
Turks have made any fresh effort to
support the tottering old column In
Stamboul known as the Burnt tower.
Many, many Ayears ago q Turkish
prophet announced that when the
tower fell, 30, also, would the Turkish
empire In Europe crumble with it,
and his prophecy is intellectually
believed In Constantinople. So strong
is this superstition that when the
Young Turks dethroned Abdul Hamid
some SIX years ago they Immediately
girded the tower with thick iron
bands and stays that they might save
their country from disaster.
