CONSTANTINOPLE, July J5I (A. P.) Walls that shrouded se cret fears of hurem captives are to be penetrated by the public. The settings of tragic mysteries will be opened to view here when the Imperial palace of the Turkish sultans is transformed within a few months into a museum. - Fear seems to have pervaded the harem labyrinth in the days of the Ottoman empire. It lurked in secret stairways behind swinging wallB, in heavy doors and great iron bolts and bars that separate room from room, -even In : the in nermost parts of the harem, in countless closets and little cubby holes with doors, where simcers of oil with floating wicks, the only means of illumination, were placed so that no corner of the harem would ever be strongly lighted. There was fear, too, lit the huge chimneys with their pointed witches' hats of bronze. Up one of these chimneys the boy ' Sultan Matinioud climbed to escane pur suing rebellious janlsBarles .while a girl servant threw embers from the brazier which .stood below into the faces of her 'master's assail ants. This servant, DJevri, Kadin, later became the favorite of the monarch whose life she had snved. Ireful Members of "The Cage" , A group of particularly clonmv low-ceilinged rooms bear the name of "the Cage," and it was there that many a crown pi-luce was strangled and many a sultan kept captive by some usurping relative. It was there in the 17th century that SultauMurad IV had his two younger brothers beheaded In tho presence of his oldest brother,' Ibrahim, who went made at the sight and remained mad during the years of his imprisonment in "The Cage" and the' years of his reign as sultan after the deatli of Murad. Another tale is connected with a woman of the 16th century, Ker sem Sultana, "Body of the Moon." the most famous woman of Otto man history. The beautiful and powerful mother of llinnuui ih. him, Kersom Sultana, at the age 01 o.a was strangled at midnight with the cord of the curtain which shrouded her bed by tho eunuchs.

Native of Europe Brought to Coast' by Accident Seeds Only in This State. Charles P. Hoover, a nephew of Dr. E. V. Hoover of this city, was a business visitor In Roseburg to day. Mr. Hoover, who is mannger of the large Hanley ranch In Jack son county, is the discoverer of a grass which Is causing a great deal of Interest among dairy and stockmen in southern Oregon, and has drawn the attention of experi ment stations and experts in grains and foeds all over the country. The grass, it is claimed, may become a great thing for the dairy and stock industry and at the sumo time has a commercial seed vulue for this section of the country. The grass was discovered several years ago growing on the Hanley ranch. It was noticed that the stock evidenced a great fondness for It and Mr. Hoover started investigat ing, finding that the grass grew from ton to 12 Inches high on light soil and higher on rich soils and ! that Jt boro tiny bulbs where flowers and seeds normally appear. He began experimenting with . it grass wilt not produce bulblets ! above ground except lu southern Oregon. In southern and eastorn niuiUDi UllU DtOU - 111 M1U VUUUIUI valleys of Oregon tho grass will not , produce bulbs above the ground, and consequently there is a possibility that tho growing of this grass for seed may become an important commercial enter prise. In southern Oregon, due to some cUmuUcul condition, the bulblets - are . prolluced . in great, abundance so that the growing: of seed should be very profitable. The experiment station has found, that the grass is a native' of Eu-, rope and has evidently been im ported accidentally. It has been used to some extent In southern states for fancy winter- lawns, the seed being Imported, for several years, and honco information on some of its characteristics In. those states has boen obtainable. .. The fact, however, that it forms seeds only in southern Oregon, Indicates that the climate and soil conditions hero correspond to Us , natural habitat and therefore its full com mercial value ns well as its feed ing possibilities may be obtained. Mr. Hoovor is greatly Interested in this enterprlHO und is this year planting from two to three hundred acres for experimental -. purposes. He says that the grass threshes out about five to seven hundred pounds of Boed to the aero. Tho gonoral use of this grass for win ter food will be of great import-, ance to the cattlh industry in southern Oregon, Mr. Hoover be lieves. Because of the open winters southern Oregon can put In tho earliest beef on the market,' and the abundance of good teed af forded by thlB grass will have the Btock In prime condition. The grass is so abundant he sayB, that two cows may bo pastured to the aero eight mouths oit of tho year, .. Another excellent' use that has been found for the gruss'Ia in cov ering boggy ground. Tests wore mnde in Jackson county in plnccs where Blieep were mired In mud while only a few feet away it was possible to drive an automobile, upon the grass, which forms Much a heavy mat of foots that i."c3;n,-- pletety covers tho bogs; it is also claimed that the grnBS will crowd,--, out nearly all forms o weeds, lit: eluding Tipton weed., J BIG OFFICE NO PHONE- WASHINGTON The Claims Dl vision of the general government accounting office has 500 employes and not a single telephone.

One Hair Is Sacred On a high shelf is a great chest, empty now, which till the dav of the last sultan contained buried within hundreds of gorgeous wrap pings a tiny bottle. In that bottle lay one hair of tho beard of the prophet. On the 15lh day of Hie sacred fasting month of Rumaxan every year the wives of the sultan unwound tho countlcBs wrappings, solemnly kissed the bottle and then reverently laid it away again. Only the fingers of sultanas could touch those wrappings and only their royal Hps might press the holy relic. The bottle, together with th" prophet's mantle, is now In number sealed room of tho palace outside tne narem, a room which will be the only portion of the palace still barred to the public when the harem Itself is thrown open. t FLASHES OF LIFE 2 he then secured the attention of the O. -A. C. experiment station which lias been making an Investi gation. Prof. Rolmer, of the southern Oregon experiment station has Identified tho grass as a European product and says that It is related to tho Kentucky blue grass, al though it is entirely distinct. It never produces flower or BeedH, but has an abundance of smull bulblets, which form without blos soming. These bulbs, in larger size, also appear lu dense mats Just be low the surface of the soli, the roots of the grass being short, shallow and matted. Tho grass sends up a dense growth In tho enrly fall and re mains green and nctlvo throughout the ontlro winter and spring, form ing ideal winter pasture. Now slender shoots are sent up in April and May, bearing an abun dance of minute bulblets, which aro widely distributed by wind, or stork, and then the plants dry up and become perfectly dormant throughout the entire summer. Ir rigation and other methods of cul ture have absolutely no effect upon the grans during the summer, and it is not roused from Its dormant stnto until fall, when It again he comes green. It is believed that tt has wonderful possibilities as green, winter fend and can be put to very profitable uso by stockmen as a supplement for alfalfa, barley vetch and summer grasses, for by combining Ihe different forms of feed excellent pasturage may be (By the Associated Press) NEW YORK If you happen, to have a "grand" you may be fortun ate in one other respect besides, provided all year, the possession of so much money, j Tests have shown that the grass There ore only twenty-one $1,000 has a high feeding value.
