.Ahem the sick man. the sick man; is your maJes-
ty speaking as the doctor in the case or as the
heir" With that the other powers turned against
Russian pretensions and all subsequent oc-
casons in various combinations, both in 1852 and
in 1877 backed the "sick man. against any doc
toring by which Russia would be the residuary

While it is an exaggeration, at any rate in
these modern times, to ascribe the mastery of
world to the possession of Constantinople, it can
not be denied that the city occupies from pO-
litical from a strategic and from an economic
point of view, one of the most valuable and i'm
portant sites in the world 1t is natural fortress
Of great strength, protected as it is in the rear
by mountain and swamp which make it difficult
to attack by land by those wonderful straits,
the Dardanelles and the Bosporus, which furnish
match1ess a defense against any onslaught
from the sea.
It lies at the very point where Europe and
Asia meet and which connects the Black sea
with the Mediterranean, and even with the Indian
ocean, by way of the Suez canal and the Red sea.
When the railroad now in course of construc-
ton from Ismid to the head of the Persian gulf,
via Konia and Bagdad is completed, which will
constitute far and away the shortest and quick
est route from Europe to India, Constantinople
will become perhaps the most important station
along the line both regards freight and pas
senger traffic.
Even the existing trade route to India via the
Suez canal would be endangered by Russias pos

that Earl Grey, in admitting in parliament
that Englandshad abandoned its traditional policy

At social function the other after
noon reference was made to mental
arithmetic and Miss Jean Webster,
authoress and dramatist, recalled a
little story along that line.
Some time ago party named Jones
was rambling along the boulevard
when he met friend. Immediately
he clutched the friends hand in a
cordial grasp and patted him on the
back.
Just the man I wanted to see!" he
effusively exclaimed. 81 am little

of the London Times, VIII for period was en-
ployed by the Turkish Tobacco Reggie Mr.. Bell
years ago described the great piles Of ma
terial, covered with the accumulated dust of four
and half centuries, which tantalzed him with
their possibilities He could not get at what they
really were since the gloom made it impossible
to distinguish any of the objects and the Turks
would not permit close examination.
Fascinating possibilities exist in the thought
of what the dust that has been accommodating
since the year of the conquest by Mohammed II
may conceal. It is doubtful if many treasures
in gold and silver and gems will be found, though
even this is possible. But the chances that pre-
cious manuscripts of the classics may be dis
covered are greater Splendid libraries, contain
ing probably, practically all the lost classics,
are undoubtedly hidden in ruins.
There are known to be 5000 manuscripts in
the sultans library, which have been seen, and
that only hastily, by few foreigners. But the
chief hope of scholars lies in their trust in one
of the least Objectionable traits of the Moslem,
his dislike of destroying anything with writing
on it. Even if he does sacrifice pictures and
sculpture, he usually leaves books alone, in case
the of God should be written on them.
Had it not been for this superstition the world
would be very much poorer in the old learning
than 1t is today.
AS for its strategic and political value it must
be remembered that Constantinople is to the
Russian church and to it's adherents what Rome
is to the Roman Catholics, and for the last 200
years in particular it has constituted the prin.
cipal object of all Muscovite religious and po-
litical aspirations. Without attaching any
credence whatsoever to the purely mythical tes-
lament of Peter the Great about Constantinople,
document which was never heard of until the
beginning of the nineteenth century nearly
hundred years after his death, and which is
forgery concocted by the Pole Sokolniki and the
Frenchman Lesueur, at the instance of the first
Emperor Napoleon, there is no doubt that Car
Peter had set his heart upon the acquisition of
Constantinople and had impressed this idea upon
his people as national ideal
However whether the will be authentic or
genuine or not the fact is it does embody ma
tional aspirations, and has had great effect on
Russian imagination.
Catherine the Great was equally bent upon
transferring the capital of her empire from
Petrograd. and from Moscow. to Stamboul, and
when Napoleon I and Alexander planned to-
gether their sharing the dominion Of the world,
the Muscovite ruler insisted upon the possession
of Constantinople on political and religious
grounds. declaring it to be "the key to the door
of Russia" Napoleon would not and could not

HAD SYSTEM IN HIS WORK
How Sir Walter Scott Gave to the
World Prose and Poem That
is Immortal.

Walter Scott rose at five O'Clock and
was writing away rapidly at six. so
that he broke the neck of the days
work before breakfast" This was his
regular program. While he was bath
ing and dressing, his thoughts were
"simmering" in his brain, so that he
dashed them off pretty easily" when
the pen was in his hand. With no in
terruption except for breakfast, he
worked steadily till eleven or twelve
o'clock. BY this system, very rarely
broken, he could afford a ride after
lunch, and at one o'clock. rain or
shine. he would mount his big horse
for gallop over the hills.
The pict-res he saw on these rides
are in his books, and SO is the Joyous
outdoor spirit One of his first poems,
'Marmion," was practically written
on horseback, the lines coming into
his brain while he trained his regi-
ment, raced over the moors or plunged
through floods.
And Just as ne would not let his
work cheat his outdoor life, he would
not let it cheat his children or his
friends. Adriane Gilbert observes in
st. Nicholas When Irving visited
him, he had to excuse himself after
breakfast to correct proof; but often
he wrote in room filled with people.
Perhaps he used manuscript sheets
the same size as letter paper, so that
he might write his books and yet
seem to be writing common letter.
The shouts of his children playing
marbles or ninepins around him, his
dogs sleeping at his feet or even leap
ing in and out of the open window,
could not interrupt his thought,
though occasionally the father stopped
to tell story to the pleading pets who
talked or to give an affectionate pat
to those who only looked their love-,
And then his active hand drove on,
laying aside sheet after sheet.

pearl Culture.

An experimental sea farm near
Pamban, India, may possibly point the
way to still weather. possibilities.
for it is designed for the culture of
the pearl-oyster and thereby for the
culture of pearls under direct control.
Mr. Hornell, who is in charge, is re-
ported to have ascertained import
art facts with regard to the pearl
oyster and has drawn up a complete
scheme for it's culture. Under such
a system the dangerous business of
diving down to the bottom of the sea
to bring up possible pearls from it's
depths will perhaps be eventually ex-
changed for the simpler process of Dig
ging up pearl-oysters in the ''oyster

the use made by the Moslem conouerors of the
seven hills, more or. less dominated by splendid
seraglios and mosques, including the metamor-
phosed Santa Sophia itself, gives Constantinople
today its peculiar character above all other Cities
and makes the near or distant view under vary
ing aspects of sun and season one of unrivaled
magnifcence, SO that it is today the chief picture
city of the world
The mosques seem to be part of we'll as ris-
ing out of a sort of curious mushroom growth
developing out of rooted refuse of stone and stuc
co that spreads all over the two sides of the
Golden Horn, that famous arm of the bay on
which the city is situated with Stamboul, the old
city on the west, and Galata and Pera, where
the foreigners live the east, stretching along
the shores of the Bosporuls toward tho Black
sea. And the mosques are wonderful Here
they rise huge masses of clustered rectangular
structures with all sorts of subsidiary buildings,
as it were, tied up to and plastered against them
And then out of this squat mass appear the
soaring, slender minarets, cutting the blue sky
in lovely tapering outline, broken only by the
balconies, from four to six in number, the latter
grouping only allowed in one case however.
while above the central section, fortlike in char
acter the domes and semidomes are uplifted, all
to be crowned by the great dome which balances
the entire mass in a manner that seems pure
chance but makes an indescrible effect of beauty
and proportion, as is in evidence in the great
mosque JeniJani near the Galata bridge
again Yields to the new invaders. and new era
of enlightenment sets in. Then the street and
public life will take on new aspect and the
city will be once more place OF pilgrimage.
Moreover when the capital is once more IN
Christian hands, what chance for the antiquar-
ians and Psychologists and classical scholars and
specialists! Every ruin should yield treasures
and of all the promising places the most prom
Using are the mysterious vaults under the great
Agia Sophia mosque, formerly the Church or 81
Sophia, originally built by Constantine in 326 OPP
posite his palace and dedicated to the Divine
Wisdom (Sopha). The church as it exists to-
day one of the greatest buildings in the world
was erected in 532-537 by the Emperor Justinian
Anthemios of Tralleis and Isideros of Miletos
we're the architects. Fossati. an Italian archi-
tect undertook thorough restoration OF the
exterior of the building in 1847 when it was
painted yellow with red stripes.
1t is in what may lie under st. Sophia that
the interest of Psychologists will center. These
vaults have always been jealousy guarded by
the Turks, and few indeed have been the out
siders allowed peep at them. One of those who
saw the most was the late Moberly Bell. manager
