O U T arku h Capital Present* Tata Views Approaching Constantinople on» ■ a , get the tmpreeslon that It either la Q m world's moat beaatlful city or that tt ta the moat squalid eWy on earth, depending opou whether It la approached from the sea or the land. ^Ptim the land »L* From the city « «90 tfiiwque* and mlnareta, Ita 800 palaces and gar- dena, rtalng In the term of an ainohl theatar above the Oolden Horn, give It the appearance of the ty(>e of oriental city described In the Arabian bights says E, Alexander Powell in the American Magazine. Alexander von Humboldt, noted traveler and student of nature, de clared Constantinople was one of the throe most beautiful cities In the world, Naples and Salzburg being the other two. Lord Byron also extolled Constantinople's position ns being In comparable to any he had ever seen. The historical Interest that abounds la Constantinople even surjmsses, for many, that of Its henuty. The city’s history extends back nearly 3,000 years. Since the corn-laden gulleys from the Black sea glided through the HejJ^spout In the days o f Darius and Alexander, and the Phoenlchins moved In from the Marmora sea. down to the present time, when gi gantic battleships swing at their moor ings off Seraglio point, Constantinople has been an object of desire for am bitious m ilitary leaders and land-seek ing nations. l/nuftM to Disregard VMKUDTB LA RG EST CHAIN There are cases of persons bavins garments torn by lightning while they themselves have suffered no serious harm. The bod; la largely composed of water, and if the clothing Is dry the bolt will pass through the body. If the clothing la saturated the bolt may follow the clothing Instead of the body. It la advised by toms that any one caught In a thunderstorm lu the wilds should Immerse himself In order to saturate his garments, or, If tills be Impossible, to.expose himself fully to thé rain In order to be drenched at o n e* I There are few manifestations of na ture’s power more awe Inspiring and at the same time more fascinating than a violent thunderstorm. Com parattvely few adults acknowledge a feeling of terror lu the presence of thia majestic display. There la, how ever, a distinct difference between Year and caution. The danger from lightning Is never great, but It exists and U should b.e reduced ns nearly as possible to the vanishing point. First Animal Protection The first step In the enactment of humane legislation was taken In 1822. fp e n a bill providing punishment for the 111 treatm ent o f cattle was Intro duced into the British parliament by Richard M artin, an Irish nobleman, later nicknamed by King George IV “Hum anity M artin .” To Richard M a r tin belongs the credit for the first conviction under the law for the pro tection of animals. The misused ani mal was dragged Into court to show evidence of Its master’s cruelty, and the driver was found guilty. Two years later, M artin formed a society for the enforcement of Ills anti-cruelty a c t The Society for the Prevention of Cruglty to Animals was thereupon organized. From this society orig inated the American Society for the Prevention o f Cruelty to Animals, founded la Now York In 1SO0 by Henry Bergh. O R G A N IZ A T IO N Prophylactic T o o t h Sir John Bland-Sutton, famous Eng lish surgeon, tells a striking story to demonstrate the cunning with which the “k ille r’’ whale chases Its prey, i I t feeds on seals, which It caunot easily drag off the Ice, but It swims under the Ice on which the seal Ilea and using Ita powerful- dorsal fin, sud- denly rises, and breaks off a piece of ¡the lee w ith -IL I f the seal trie« to eecape by sliding over the Ice, the whale follows It, and continues Its breaking tactics until the seal Is cap Hired. I T he teeth o f killer whales make those of the crocodile seem puny. but. curiously enough, these terrors of the saas, who even prey on their harrn- 'lees relatives, hunt In paeka, like wolves.

During the years 1790-1792, the anniversary of this event was called 'X * Fete de la Federation.” The Day of the Bastille Is also known as the "D ay of July,” and Is celebrated by the French as a patriotic holiday, much as the Americans celebrate the tggnlng o f the Declaration of Inde pendence on the Fourth of July. j k D V R S T f f l YOUR POULTRY IN THEBE COLUMNS Ashed for It Held the teacher: "Now. boys, quad ruped and biped, you know, are two ktiwl* o f animals, Quadruped. animal with four legs, sacli as cow, elephant nnd horse.

British Arm y Club Trust to Pictures The Union Jack club Is a national Institution of Great Britain where sol dlera, sailors and airmen can go wheu on leave or passing through I-ondon, a place where they may deposit their kits and valuables, where they may obtain at moderate charges good meals and comfortable bedrooms to them selves and where they And the usual amenities of a club. Including library and w riting room, billiard room, hatha, barber shop aud also a club shop In which articles o f everyday use and almost everything that service men require may be purchased. Tha Union Jack club was erected by public sub scription as a national memorial to those who had fallen In the Routh African w ar and other campaigns, and was opened on July 1, 1907, by his late majesty, King Edward Vn, In these days of hustle nnd bustle, hyper-activity and constant "go," there la one thing that every one can do to neutralise to some extent the restlessness that has Invaded onr life. That one thing Is to surround oneself with beautiful and restful pictures. Pictures take the mind off the wor risome, petty details that are so Ir ritating to the nervous system. A good-natured Jolly Cavalier to look down on us onderstamllngly from the wall, or a lovely Madonna to fill us with pence and contentment are like real companions and frletidw, nnd have an advantage that even the beat friends do not have; they make no demand* and aspect no fav o rs ; they am always equally dependable an 1 ever ready to serve. G enius an d F ree d o m Genius can only breathe freely In an atmosphere of freedom. Persona of genius are more Individual than other people, less capable, consequently, of fitting themselves, without hurtful compression, Into any of the small number of molds society provides In order to save Its members the trouble of forming tlielr own character. If, from timidity, they consent to be forced Into one of these molds, society will be little the better for their gen ius. I f they are of strong character and break their fetters, they become a mark for the society which has not succeeded in reducing them tn com- nmuplare, to be pointed out as erratic, much as If one should complain of the Niagara for not flowing smoothly like a Dutch canal.—John Stuart M ill.
