TODAY and
ART .... 1400 years ago
One of the great events In t-he
world .of art wa^the discovery, in
the ancijnt Church of St. Sophia
in Istanbul, that under the plaster
of its walls are the oldest known
ChrisT-iati pictures. Built inthe
year 537, by the Emperor Justini
an, In the city then known as Con
stantinople. St. Sophia was the
chief temple of the Christian faith
for more than 900 years. The
Turks captured the city in 1453,
converted the- church into a
Moslem Mosque, and covered the
pictures with plaster.
Now the Turkish government
has disestablished Mohammedan
ism as tHe state religion, Seclared
the old church a national monu
ment., and has intrusted the work
of scraping off the plaster and re
vealing the beautiful ancient
Christian art, to an American com
mission, the Byzantine Institute,
which has a dozen experts at work
carefully uncovering the world's
oldest art collection.
One by one the relics of the
ear|y days of civilization and the
record of man's progress in the
arts and crafts are coming to
light. They all add proof that the
upward march of humankind has
been very short, indeed.
WOOD .... preservation
A few years ago a friend of
mine found, buried under the bed
of a river in Yucatan, thousands
of mahogany logs which had been
cut by the early Spanish explor
ers, wh(f tried to float t-hem down
to the sea for shipment to Cuba
or Spain. A great flood had cover
ed them with gravel, and there
they lay for more than 300 years.
My friend dug them up and made
a small fortune. The lumber was I
still as sound as when first* cut. I
Now they are "mining" white !
cedar from the marshland near {
Mauricetown, N. J. Buried for j
hundreds of years, tree trunks up {
to five feet thick and fifty feet
long are being hauled out of mud
sometimes 30 feet deep. The wood
is sound and smells like freshly
cut cedar.
These logs have been preserved
because t'hey have been continu
ously submerged. Wood decays
when it is alternately wet and
dry. Next to a dry barn the best
place to store wood, apparently,
is at the bottom of a pond.
