TO RESTORE FAMOUS PARK
Bowling Green, With Its Ancient
Fence, Will Again Become Show
place of New York.

Modern New York will probably bet
ter appreciate its Bowling Green
fence, recovered and restored to view
by the Broadway association, for the
incidental publicity of the restoration.
When the fence was new, Bowling
Green was an important part Of the
town, and the New Workers of 1870
considered 1t well worth while to i'm
port the fence from England and pay
$500 for 1t. One is reminded that, short
ly before the fence was put up, the 10y
al citizens, grateful for the repeal OF
the Stamp act, had adorned Bowling
Green with leaden equestrian statue
Of George III. For while fence and
statue stood there together: then the
Revolution came, and the Liberty
Boys" pulled the statue from It's ped'
estal. The fence remained till 1914
minus the gilt crowns that the lib
erty Boys" had hammered off the tops
of the fence posts, but the famous park.
lost in the growing city, was gradually
neglected. When the fence returns to
it, the park will be replanted with
shrubbery, and Bowling Green made SIS
much as possible like its historic SELF.

ARE OF CHRISTIAN ORIGIN
Possibly Less Than Halt the People
Of the Ottoman Empire Have
Mosiena Ancestry.

Probably less than half of the men,
women and children called Turks owe
their ancestry TO the Mongol and Mos
lem tribesmen who migrated from in
ner Asia to Anatolia," says George e.
White, D. D.. in the American Review
OF Reviews. Probably the larger part
are of ancestry once reckoned Chris
tian. This is confirmed by the fact
that the physical characteristics OF
Mongols have largely faded out. They
visibly persist In some, notably in Tar
tars immigrant from the Crimea or
the Balkan states, whose lineage is
Comparatively pure. This but empha.
sizes the differences in the case of the
Anatolian stock. sssssf;issss ~ 's.','
I'm the heart Of what we call the
Turkish empire approximately one
fourth of the population are avowedly
Christian; approximately a fourth of
the remainder, the Shias are nearer
in sentiment to Christians. than to
regular MOhammedans a majority of
the whole are of Christian origin.
Force has held them together until
now, but blood will tell and the prin-
ciple of 'reversion to type cannot
be escaped. After careful observa-
tons continued during many years of
residence in the country am con-
WINGED that the Mohammedan Turks
do not increase in numbers, possibly as
the penalty of nature for the permis-
sion of polygamy. while the Ottoman
Christians do increase rapidly unless
checked by periods of massacre. If,
then, some two million to five million
Mongol immigrants filtered into Asia
Minor, their descendants possibly
reach those numbers today; the rest
of the population is to be credited with
Christian ancestry"
