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

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

claimed that the grnBS will crowd,--,

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

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

to very profitable uso by stockmen
as a supplement for alfalfa, barley
