CAVE SCANT HEED
TO SACRED RITES
Discourtesy of Foreigners in
Saint Sophia.
I was In St. Sophia on the night of
Al Katyr, the ceremony In commemor
ation of the revelation of the Koran
to Mahommed. That night the caliph
(up to a year and a half ago, the sul
tan) comes to St Sophia as the spir
itual head of Islam, writes Nathaniel
i'effer in Asia Magazine. lie comes
attended by his retinue, but he wor
ships only as one of the people, seated
like them on the nlatted floor. Row
on row they stretch back through the
vast pillared hall almost bare In Its
simplicity and perhaps therefore the
more impressive. There are thou
sands, a memorable picture In mass
alone. And as the muezzins, grouped
on dulses in various parts of the
mosqne, 'frhant the service in the high,
carrying quaver peculiar to the muez
zins, the mnss on the floor bends,
touches heads to the ground, rises and
bends ngaln with what has In. it some
thing of an elemental' sweep as one
looks down on It from above. The
effect is that of an enormous field of
corn yielding to gusts of wind, bat the
• setting and the atmosphere give it a
solemnity above the natural and - ma
terial.
Despite the setting In St. Sophia,
the sacredness of the ceremony and
the presence of the caliph, foreigners
are admitted on cards from their em
bassies and given places In the balcony
Just under the high mosque dome. On
this occasion I was one of those for
eigners. And while the rites were In
I saw foreigners clambering
up and down over the balcony railing,
chattering In loud voices, promenading
back and forth and hailing each other
across Intervals of three or four yards.
Electric lights just under the balcony
rail Impeded tlielr vision. They leaned
over and turned the lights dut. "How
much longer do we have t'o listen to
this yowling!" exclaimed a very Eng
lish young English officer tQ a group
around him and in full hearing of many
others. They got np In groups, went
out, came back and went out again.
They have conducted" themselves
In exactly the same way at a dull foot
ball or baseball game.
I remembered the stories on which
I grew up, tales so vWtf of occidentals
being quartered if found In a mosque,
that even now It seemed something of
an adventure for me to walk Into a
mosque In Stajnboul, though the only
notice taken of me was an offer to con
duct me about. Fanaticism; Bigotry I

admit the Internationalized atmos
phere. But I Imagined St. Patrick's
In New York at Christmas eve mass,
St. Thomas of Trinity in Easter morn
ing or an uptown New York synagogue
on Yom Klppur. I Imagined Chinese,
Hindus and Turks being admitted to
the balconies. I Imagined them—so
far as It is possible to Imagine that
of orientals —acting as I saw the for
eigners act in St. Sophia. Then I
tried to imagine what would happen
to them!
Bonsib Got in Bad
Several months ago while returning
to' Indlunapolls from Brown county,
Louis Bonsib, now of Peru, Ind., but
at that time living In Indianapolis,
witnessed a piece of- driving on the
part of the "more gentle sex" that
almost caused him to release his grip
on the steering wheel of his automo
bile and shut his eyes. A short time
later the same woman driver crowded
a small sedan from the road and the
occupants narrowly escaped serious
Injury.
The other passenger In Bonslb's ma
chine happened to have police power
and a badge and the two decided to
"step 'er up" to the woman driver and
warn her to be more careful In her
driving.
The big car fairly ate up the tj6ad
to the other machine and both occu
pants leaned out and "bawled the driv
er out" to thelr.heart's desire.
Tbe next day Bonsib seemed rather
downcast and the other passenger,
who chanced to be a next door nelgh
r . fry t what the trouble was.
tnat woman ut.ter we
bawled out yesterday 7" Bonsib asked.
"Sore," was the reply.
"Well, I'm in Dutch. ,She was my
stenographer," replied Bonsib. 'Aesop

In the one we saw N two men—on*
small, with a. pugnacious little mus
tache, the other tall and l4an and
graceful aa a greyhound—took their
places at opposite ends of the dancing
mat. Each drew a knife with a scorn
ful gesture and threw It Into The -cen
ter of the circle. The music took a
defiant; crowing note. It sounded as
If two cocks were challenging each
other, writes Edward A. Salisbury In
Asia Magazine. Musicians and dancers
seemed to imitate some familiar ani
mal of field or forest. In a wonder
fully timed series of steps and ges
tures the men rua|ied forward, back
end forward again; then, with fierce
gesticulations, they snatched np their
knives and fell to.
The steel glittered In the sunlight
as the fighters circled about eaeh
other, nostrils distended and" eyes
gleaming, until, with a sudden mdtlon
as swift as the spur thrust of a ban
tam cock striking for thy irtll, little
mrfn, grasping the krilTfc arm of the
tnll one and wrenching It stdewlsa*nd
down, forced him to his knees. Then,
Just as the aggressor swung up his
weapon for the death blow, the man
at his Teet broke loose and flung away
in a desperate whirl. Thfey closed
again and this time each managed'to
grip the knife wrist of his opponent.
They stood, breast heaving against
breast, knives forced high In the air,
as their bodies Bwayed back and forth.
Then both knives fell to the ground
and each man fought for the other's
throat. Now the big man suddenly
caught his game little enemy by the
neck dhd waist, hurled him to the
ground, and, grasping a knife, ap
peared to plunge the weapon Into his
brenst. Then he proudly placed one
foot on the seemingly lifeless body
and swung his blade high in the sir
J a a triumphant gesture.
We applauded, for at no time dur
ing the dance, which was as scientific
«a a fast-fought boxing match or eabsr
duel, did the performers for a alngle
movement lose time with the music. i
Danto't Maui t/e Jfcroiit ,t-
Dante was not a Nordic, as some
anthropologists have asserted, but a
member of the Mediterranean race.
So, declared Prof. Fablo Fassetto of
the University of Bologna, In a paper
presented to the American Association
of Anatomists at their meeting in Buf
falo, N. Y. The evidence Is from a
recent examination of the bones of ths
great poet.
The most Important feature of the
skeletons the large capacity of the
cranium or brain caae. This la 1,700
cubic centimeters, or much more than
the average even among men of high
Intellect. Dante'a height waa about 8
feet The sliafc>e ot the bone*
of the head definitely identifies Dante,
according to Professor Faaaetto, with
the Mediterranean race, contrary to
the opinions of those wbo believed
the poet's name and family to bava
been of German origin.
Compared with the slxe of lils bead,
Dante had a small face, the bone*

Found Treasure Where

A» mmr.mmmmu library •
nmelfonn tabTet* has been found by
the aljpple expedient of throwing a
brfck-*h a spot on tli* side of a hill
under which the library has lain hid

made by Professor Langdon, the Amer

directing the Weld-BrnmMU expedition
sxeavnttons at the rains of the Baby
ldUlan city of Klab, mw Bagdad.
The discovery of the* library oc
curred Just in thne to stop the prep

that the library had been destroyed
with other laßMlng sections of tbe

Langden In WMtteg of ttfr-Ateovery,
"that if still t&tOag a certain li

I threw th* brick backward
"Ifße next morning digging was re
commenced at the place indicated by
the arrow, and within two hours a large
nest of valuable literary tablets was
found."
The library Is by far the moat Im
portant find the expedition haa made
during Ita three years' work. It la
expected to yield literary treasures
which even the libraries of the Pha
raohs have not contained. Already 20
rooms of the library have been uncov

lets, and there are 20 more rooms yst
to be explored.

culiarity that be set about making aa
Instrument which waa the foundation
of the modern organ.
After several experiments he made
a water-flute. In which air waa forced
by bellows through an Inverted cone
which led to flutes controlled by a
keyboard, the pressure being kept uni
form by water.
After a thousand years a rival In
strument made Its appearance. This
was of a similar pattern, but. Instead
of water, weights regulated the pres

In 001 sa organ was erected at Win

ten pipes to each key. The two mea
who sat a£ the keyboard "blew and
sweated enormously.'' Later, a firm

ed Infracting the first really big In
strument. The primary stops did not
dUfer very much from those of today,
although various novelties were Intro

Among the Innovations were the
