Wymess Castle, the oldest castle in
Scotland, one tower having been built
in the year 1914. The chamber In the
castle now used by the Wymess fam
lily as a chapel was the kitchen of
King David nearly one thousand years
ago. 1t is quarried out of the solid
rock of cliff overhanging the sea In
mense old fireplace of the Scottish
king.
The silver medal which Mr. Clark
wears is inscribed: Award to John
Clark for the best twenty-four roses
Bridge of Allen Flower Society. 1856"
He carries a gold watch and chain. and
the inscription on the watch tells that
it was presented to him "by q few
old cronies at Wymess Castle, Noyem-
ber Z, 1877" The fob bears the crown
of Scotland and Scottish lion ram
pant 1t was in 1877 that Mr.. Clark
came to Washington.
As head gardener at Wymess Castle
Mr.. Clark grew nearly everything that
is fit to eat. OF course much was
grown under glass. Grapes, peaches.
pears. cherries, plums and subtropicaI'
as well as tropical fruits, were raised
in the castle hothouses for the tables
of the castle. Mr.. Clark originated the
famous Shakespeare Garden at Wymess
Castle. in which grew every shrub,
plant and flower mentioned in the
works of the immortal bard He also
started aud cared for Il Burns garden,
iii which all plants held dear by Scot
lands and the worlds great singer

n \ old vine grows in Washington
~ which has done more than any
other vine in the United States
to screen bare walls, veil brick and
mask stone. 1t has done more than
any other vine to beautify the homes
of the American people. Little has
been written about this old vine, and
most of the persons who pass it do so
without saluting 1t or without paying
to it the tribute of respect it deserves.
This vine, which is the parent, the
grandparent, the great-grandparent and
the farther-removed ancestor of mil
lions of vines in the United States
grows in the National Botanic Garden,
and when that garden shall be re-
moved from it's present outgrown site
an effort will surely be made to re-
move and transplant this historic vine.
This vine should not be confused with
the memorial trees that grow in the
Botanic Garden. 1t was planted with
out ceremony, and although its god
father was a good man of ability, this
particular vine bases it's claim to con-
sideration not on whose hands set it
out, but on what 1T has done for the
human race.
Tho vine of greatest vogue in the
United States, especially in the cities

from Constantinople, where there is
also civil chief who represents the
Protestant subjects of the sultan and
obtains favors and special dispensa-
tions that enable them to carry on
their work in the various provinces
and communities of the Turkish en-
pire.
While the Mohammedans have had
control of Constantinople since May
20. 1853, they know that the city is
not the creation of their faith and
some Of their traditions point to a
return of the city to the control of the
Christians who founded it. Three of
the many sights of the imperial city
suggest the eventual overthrow of the
Mohammedan rule of the city. The old
walls that have in the past protected
the city from the invading forces are
today venerable ruins in their desola-
tlon and decay. These ramparts, first
built by Theodosius. were kept in re-
pair until 1853. when Mohammed II
captured the city. They still retain

and their suburbs. is that vine which
men variously call southsde ivy, bos-
ton Ivy. Japan or Japanese ivy and Il
score of other names of locality. AL
though all the names have the word
ivy" affixed to them this constitutes
an error, for this so-called ivy vine is
not ivy. 1t is not even a relation of
The botanic name of this vine is ampe-
lopsis veitchii. and slight varieties go
under the names ampelopsis roylie and
ampelopsis tri-cuspidata. No other vine
grows in SO many urban places in
America as this. 1t seems to grow
wherever planted, but it flourishes on
south and west walls. Count the house
vines in Washington and ampelopsis,
no matter by what name called, will
lead all the other house vines COM
bined. This will be true of houses in
New Orleans. Kansas City. Los An
geles and every other American city in
which any vine Is permitted to grow.
Now, 1t is the ancestor OF all these
vines which is growing in somewhat
obscure place in the National Botanic
Garden. And here is the story of how it
got there. and what 1t has done during
its long life in Washington:
The father of the American ampelopsis
was William r. Smith. who was supeD-
more than half century and whose
is green in the minds Of thou
sands Of the people Of the capital. 1t
was considerably over half century
ago that Mr.. Smith, while visiting in
England. obtained at Slough, city about

eighteenth century from Japan or China,
and probably seeds or cuttings had been
brought to England from both Japan
and China, where the vine Is native.
On his return to Washington Mr. Smith
Garden and there 1t grows today. 1t has
been kept trimmed or it would have
grown out of bounds
ms vine may be propagated either
from seed or cuttings-greenwood or
hardwood cuttings-and year after year
thousands of packages of seed from this
old vine were sent out under the frank
OF members of Congress to thousands of
their constituents. 1t was estimated sew
erai years ago that over four million
packages Of seed off this vine had been
sent out of Washington Vines from

For a long time. and perhaps it is
still SO. the collection and distribution
of seed from this vine We're directly
under the charge of John Clark. Mr..
Clark and Mr.. Smith were boys to-
gether in Scotland. and 1t was because
of this old friendship that Mr.. Smith
induced Mr.. Clark to come to the
United States and secure employment
in the National Botanic Garden. MIR.

Ihe famous and by far the most i'm
posing and important ecclesiastical
structure OF Constantinople, if not of
ehe world, is the mosque of Sancta
Sophia. or Holy Wisdom, crowning
the hill of Stamboul, the old Greek
and Turkish section. 1t has been the
pattern for their mosques throughout
tne world In spite of the fact that it
presehts IN its interior the form of a
cross. Many traditions have been
handed down in connection with the
historic church. The Mobammedan

AS A CHRISTIAN CAPITAL

I'M APOLEON declared that Constan-
INV tinople was the empire of the
world" as his reason for refus-
ing Emperor Alexanders insistent re-
quest for the possession of the queen
city of the east, whose strategic site
commands two seas and two conti-
nents. II is claimed to matter little
what flag floats over this ancient i'm
perial city as an outcome of the pres
ent contest, as Constantinople could
not be dethroned from her position of
power. Built upon the ashes of dead
empires. the city has survived all of
her ancient foes. and, strengthened by
the fusion of races. she will probably
survive the assault of invading armies
as she has the clash of creeds
While the early history of the city
Is lost in the annals of a NEUROLOGICAL
past. it is known that 500 years after
