The Exeter Times, 1919-4-24, Page 7ANCIENT CHURCH OPI. OFST. NOW A MOSQUE AND HEADQUAR- TERS OF MOHAMMEDANiSM. Runt Twelve Centuries Ago, It Was the Centre of Christianity Until the Crescent Supplanted the Cross. A. movement, begun recerl,•ly in Lon- don, to have the Peace Conference re 'store the Mosque of St, Sophia to Christendom "as the symbol of the re dentption and liberation from agelong oppression of ` all ,those Christian peoples who are still left by the arm- istice under the reign of cruel fear and injustice," is fast gaining supporters. The committee at the head of the mofienient believes the only perman- ent method of giving Christians in Constantinople freedom from oppres- sion is in the removal of the Turkish Government from the city. These 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- ters for Mohammedanism. To -day it is hard to estimate the cost of the splendid cathedral that caused the Emperor Justinian to ex- claim, "0, Solomon, I have surpassed thee indeed:" The church was orig- inally built by Constantine, but when fire consumed the wooden structure in the year 532 Justinian undertook the erection of a temple of gorgeous structure. All the then known workd 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 the great events of the Christian emperors. • 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 melodious 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 • Christians 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 kgpt up with little intermission. The Turks took down the gold. cross and in its place was put the crescent. They threw the art of centuries into the vast vaults of the temple. For years the covetous eye of archdologists 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 times a day. For five centuries, from the minarets, the muezzin's voice nas 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 be seen on the dome of the te-hiple, 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 four 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 is the "radial" engine, in which the cylinders, set radially around a com- mon drank case, are fixed, and the crank shaft is driven in the regular way. Several British manufacturers are proposing to 'build moderate pow- ered engines of this type, Specially designed and built for use in light cars. One of these is •described as having five air cooled cylinders of 68 mm. bore and 80 n nl. stroke that will develop about 20 horse -power at 2,- 500 revolutions. This makes a re- markably neat and compact power plant, and if successful may be wide- ly copied. Roses of France.

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 you 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 he 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 la 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, T 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 worst 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 thisl--"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 lo 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 tarticipate 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 British ex -service men. In regard to the cost of living, this at present is not; as high as -in Eng- land. Food, on an average, is cheap,. and I am told that the purchasing power of Z1 has not depreciated dur- 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 the cities, is moderate in the coun- try. All these things sound very attrac- tive. The time of realization has not yet conte, but it should not now be long delayed. Shakespeare's Opinion. It 1.5 a far cry back to the time of Shakespeare, but the opinion of the immortal bard concerning the Teuton is aptly expressed in "The Merchant of Venice":—Portia's reply to Nerissa, when asked how she liked the young German: "Very vilely in the morn- ing, when he is sober, and most vilely in the afternoon, when he is drunk; when he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast." Thatm,is obviously Shakespeare's own opinion, for there was no dramatic necessity for it. He would scarcely have written it if he had any feeing for any living German. • ® Ideate', The one-sided drapery is the fea- ture of this misses' dress which is at- tractively developed in contrasting materials.

Not a Serious Condition but bisfigur, ing and Solneilmes Annoying. Housemaid's knee is by no means confined to housemaids. Before the days of hops and dustless dusters, when housemaids actually scrubbed the floors on. their "marrowbones," it was not an uncommon affection. Among the members of religious or- ders the rule of which requires them to spend long hours on their knees in prayer the sante trouble frequently occurs. The affection is en enlargement of a cushion -like structure, called a bur- ea.—from the Latin word for purses,— that nature places aver bony promin- ences as a protection against injury from pressure. .A. bursa is merely a sac with. strong, fibrous walls contain- ing a gelatinous substance that gives It elasticity. Ordinarily, a bursa is Sat, and contains only enough fluid to separate its walls slightly; but when pressure over the prominence that It protects is constant or frequently re- peated, nature recognizes the need for more adequate protection and by ac- cumulating more fluids distends the sac. Nature is often too generous, and once she begins a good thing she apparently does not know when to stop; and so as the pressure contin- ues the fluid goes on accumulating and the sac grows larger and larger until It forms a projecting bag. In that way it defeats its object, for instead of acting as a protector of the bony pro- minence the sac needs protection for itself, If the pressure continues, the bursa may become inflamed and pain- ful—a condition that is worse than the condition before the sac began to enlarge. Housemaid's knee does not often become inflamed, but the similar enlargement that takes place some- times over the great toe joint, known as a bunion, is only too often inflamed, as many persons know to their dis- tress. Housemaid's knee is disfiguring and causes annoyance, but it is not a serious condition except as It is liable to become inflamed from accidental in- jury. The only sure treatment con- sists in eradicating the enlarged sac. Sometimes, however, its size may be reduced by the moderate use of iodine; the sufferer should take care, however, not to apply the iodine in such quanti- ty or so often as to blister or to in- flame the skin. Of course the pres- sure on the kneecap from kneeling must be stopped. Minartt's T,rnf,.,ent for sale everywhere* The Teacher's Reward. "I'm your girl, teacher," whisper rose- bud lips, Meeting my own in smiling, tender kiss; As shining eyes confess pure love within, A silent sob my inner heart shrine grips. "I'm your boy, teacher," comes in proudest tones, And sun -kissed fingers nestle in my hand; Bare feet go bravely o'er the roughest stones, As home we trudge with lessSn book and pail. Just whispered words—no praise on earth so dear, No prize so high as childhood's prof- fered love, May their pure eyes our glances never fear, Keep our hearts worthy of our holy trust. r ---a a e 0 e o Let folks step on your feet hereafter; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again sand electric sparks of pain through you, according to this Cincinnati authority. He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re- lieves soreness, 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 ounce 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. QUEER MILITARY TRADES Nearly Every Civil Occupation Has Its Representatives in the Army. 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 every army there are criminals. The scene painter, the stage car- penter, the theatrical property man and the sculptor and modeler in clay have 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 `Stares,>, 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 sini,ilar purposes.

Pascal, a Distinguished French Mathe- matician, Solved its Laws. A game of cards is said to have sug- gested the system of life insurance, now so universal. A Flemish nobleman in the seven- teenth century tried to divide equit- ably the cash stalled upon an uninter- rupted game of chance. He was helped in his attempt by Pascal, a distinguish- ed French mathematician, who solved the problem. In dosing so, he also solved the "doctrine of probabilities," or laws governing insurances of all kinds. The idea can be illustrated by the throwing of a dice, the chance of turn- ing up an ace being one out of six. in a large number of throws, the chances are in the same proportion. From this Pascal laid dowu the proposition that results which have happened in a given number of observed cases will again happen in similar circumstances, provided the numbers be sufficient for the proper working of the law. of aver- age. The life of a person is one of the greatest uncertainties, but the dura- tion, or rate of mortality, of a large number of persons, may be predicted with the greatest aoouracy by com- parison with the observed result among a sufficiently large number of persons of similar ages rind occupa- tions and subject to similarclimatic influences. elle' ettd'M l;Itxlu*sut Oaten Dandralt- eeOas AnyRfangI�Iy poE,oz s Write for lerices. 1 '' "einra,ueli 11.14 et.
