Cuilt Twelve Centuries Ago, It Was the Centre of Christianity Until the Crescent Supplanted the Cross. A.ssnovelnent, begun recently in Lon- don, to have the Peace Conference re- store the Mosque of St; Sophia to Christendom "as the symbol of the re- demption and liberation from agelong oppression of all those Christian peoples who aro still left by the arrn- ietiee under the reign of cruel fear and injustice," is fast gaining supporters. The commi-tet at the head of the movement believes the only perman- ent method of giving Christians in Constantinople freedom from oppres- sion is it the removal df the Turkish Government from the city. Those urging this action include many noted British citizens and members of the clergy. The mosque, erected 326 years after the birth. of Christ, served for nine centuries as the capital of the Chris- tian world.. Then came the hordes of conquering Moslems from Asia and, until the recent success of the Allies put the Turks at the feet of the Chris- tian world, the Church was headquar- tars for Mohammedanism. 'a To -day it is hard to estimate the cost of the splendid cathedral that caused tied Emperor Justinian to ex-` clam!, "0, Solomou,I have surpassed thee indeed!" The church was orig- inally built by Constantine, but when fire consumed the wooden structure in the year 632 Justinian undertook the erection of a temple of gorgeous structure. All the then known world contributed priceless jewels and rarest treasures. Marbles, metals and mosaics were given for the church by Christians everywhere. Into the building went the pillars of other famous temples. Silver to the value of $200,000 was used in the de- coration. Historians say in all $5,000,- 000 worth of material was used in the vast structure. Its building required sixteen years. Christian Centre For Nine Centuries. In the great cathedral were cele- brated all no great events of the Christian en perors. It was this church that preserved the art and literature of the world while Europe was steeped in ignorance and barbar- ism. Through the nine centuries of Chris- tian possession the inelodious chants of Greek liturgy echoed through the vast dome until the Turks, under. Mo- hammed II„ broke through the walls of Constantinople and swarmed into the city. A multitude of,.Christi ,ns flocked to the cathedral and prayed for their delivery. The Turks were without mercy and until the present day the massacre of Christians in the empire has been kept up with little intermission. The Turks took down the gold cross and in its Pulte was put the crescent. They threw the art of centuries into the vast vaults of the temple. For years the covetous eye of archeologists have been on the treasures, but no "infidel" is allowed within the portals. Since the day the cross was sup- planted by the crescent the dome of St. Sophia has resounded to the chant of the muezzin and the monotonous recital of the Koran five tithes a day. For five centuries, from the minarets, the muezzin's voice has called the Turks to prayer. Now the Christian is asking the temple be restored to the followers of Christ, and perhaps the waiting of five centuries will not be in vain, The cross may again lie seen on the dome of the temple, which was the center of Christianity in the early centuries. Perhaps, hidden in the vaults of the mosque, is literature that will startle the world. The secret will remain hidden until the Turk is driven from Constantinople. Airplane Engines for Automobiles. Although the regular airplane en- gine has no place in the automobile field, the experience with some types of motors has led• to some interest- ing proposals in England. One type of motor that has been successfully developed abroad for flying machines the "radial" engine, in which the .cylinders, set radially around a corn - mon crank case, are fixed, and the. crank shaft is driven in the regular way. Several British manufacturers are proposing to build moderate pow-, erect engines of this type, specially designed and built for use in light cars. One of these is described as having five air eooled cylinders of 63 mm. bore and 80 mm. stroke that will develop about 20 norse-;power at 2,- seats Mail/tint This makes a re- Markably neat and compact power plant, and if successful may be wide- ly copied.

EAST, TORONTO The Largest Photo Finishing Plant 372 Canada Your Naiue Address AUSTRALIA, T R 9 "BABY" EMPIRE BABA BRITISH COMMISSIONER SPEAKS OF HER POSSIBILITIES Some of the Good Things Awaiting the Emigrant from the British Isles When Ships Available. Australia was once described as the Empire's "great baby." Great in size, she .is yet a baby in growth. With her tremendous possibilities, no one can say what she may grow up into during the next three or four hundred years, says the British Com- missioner. At present you might regard Aus- tralia as a very large ship manned by a very small crew. The ship is over three-quarters the size of Eur- ope, and the crew numbers less than the population of London. That ex- plains why ybu are expected to work if you go "down under." Australia has a mighty long way to go, and means to go a mighty long way. Probably the greatest obstacle to her rapid growth lies in the distance which separates her from the more populous centres. But for this, im- migration would swing along more briskly. For Australia has many good things to offer—land practical- ly for the asking, a free life amid great open spaces, magnificent crops, and a wonderful climate. Travelling Difficulties. The. average European thrives well in most parts of Australia. Some- times lie finds it a trifle too hot there, but, to compensate for this, there is no dreaded winter to anticipate. From the point of view of import- ance, Australia should have been dealt with earlier in this series, but I have only just obtained all the in- formation I have been seeking. Un- fortunately, as I have already indi- cated in former articles, you will have little chance of securing a passage to Australia yet awhile. The very lowest quotation for a passage at the moment is $185, third-class accommo dation, which is over double the am- ount—$90—quoted for a third-class passage in 1915. But, even if you can afford the fare, you will have to present a strong case to the Austra- lian officials before you are allowed to book your berth. If you are a clerk or a typist, or a worker in any of the city trades, you will have no chance at all. Aus- tralia's wealth at present lies in the land, and few are welcome beyond those who can assist to get the wealth out of it. Men and boys who have agricultural experience, Or who are able and willing to learn, are wanted in practically all the States, There is an excellent system pecu- liar to Australia known as 'share farming." The owner of 'the land,. in return for one-half or one-third of the crop, supplies land, seed, and manure. The farmer supplies the labor and implements. If money is tight with the farmer, he may get an advance. This is an excellent method of acquiring a little capital in order to launch out ultimately on one's own. Assured of Welcome. With some trepidation, I mention that domestic servants are wanted in Australia. They are also wanted, here, however; and provided the con- ditions of domestic service improve in this country, we selfishly hope that the exodus of domestic servants will not be too great! Perhaps the least crowded of the professions is the medical profession. There are good prospects for general practitioners, but not for nurses. I asked the Secretary of the Aus- tralian Emigration Department to tell me the best parts to seek work in. "All the Australian States offer good opportunities in this respect," he replied, "but except in respect of women for domestic service, whose opportunities are universal"—he would harp on this!—"the men should seek those country districts where closer settlement that is, transition from pastoral to agricultural—is in most active progress." Land workers and domestic serv- ants should apply, on arrival, to the local Intelligence Bureau. This is generally sufficient to secure an opening. There is usually, in addi- tion, a Government Immigration Bur- eau in most of the State capitals, within easy reach of the place of dis- embarkation. Assistance and advice can be obtained here. Land Schemes. When all else fails, local advertis- ing may be tried. My own advice, however, to any emigrant who thinks he will have to resort to this is to stay at home. The Australians are a whole -heart- ed race, and do not give the cold shoulder to their guests. British sol- diers may participate in the land schemes for resettlement of the vari- ous States. No means to facilitate the passage of Britishers to Aus- tralia, however, have as yet been systematically organized, although the Governments of Queensland and Victoria have each announced its readiness to allot land definitely to Witig;h ex -service men. In regard to the cost of,living, this at present is not as high as in Eng- land. Foocl, on an average, is cheap, and I am told that the purchasing power of ai lies not depreciated dar- ing the war more than about 3s. Clothes are to be had at reasonable prices in all the settled parts of Australia. Rent, though fairly high in else cities, is mrderete in the coun- try. All these things viand very attrac- tive. •The time of realization has not yet come, but it should not now be long delayed. ' da. ^ M11 T..vser M&TEsf .•�v- .L.•=1aea2M;r - ..

GIVE THIS MAN THE GOLD MEDAL 0 o o• o e Let folks step on your feet hereafter; wear'shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority. Be says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re- lievessoreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out. This drug is a sticky ether com- pound, but dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue. It is claimed that a quarter of an mace of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but is suffi- cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet, Cut this out, especially if you are a woman reader who wears high heels.

During the war virtually every trade or 'other civil occupation has been represented in the army—often, however, with much modification to adapt it for military uses, Among the trades thus employed for war purposes have been those of sewing machine adjuster, upholsterer (for motor bicycles), dog trainer, furrier (to prepare skins and make them into garments) and diver. The circus man has been employed in the handling and transportation of tents; the gas -plant operative in the making of poison gases. Even the professional detective, enlisted in the army, has found useful work in his own professional line, hunting out de- linquents and criminal offenders. In 1 every army there are criminals. The scene painter, the stage car-, penter, the theatrical property man and thesculptor and modeler in clay hays been assigned to the business of camouflage. Theirs, indeed, has been no unimportant part of the war. The expert maker of fireworks, likewise has -developed a military function, directing the manufacture of "flares," such as are used in the trenches, "star shells" and other con- trivances for night signalling, for il- luminating the battlefield at night or for similar purposes.
