Old Turkish Capital Presents Two Views Approaching Constantinople one may get the Impression that it either is the world’s most beautiful city or that it Is the most squalid city on earth, depending upon whether It Is, approached from the sea or the land. From the land the city’s 680 mosquesj and minarets, Us 000 palaces and gar-' dens, rising in the form of an amphitheater above the Golden Horn, give it the appearance of the type of oriental city described In the Arabian Nights, says E. Alexander Powell In! the American Magazine. ' Alexander von Humboldt, noted: traveler and student of nature, declared Constantinople was one of the! three most beautiful cities in the world, Naples and Salzburg being the! other two. Lord Byron also extolled' Constantinople's position as being Incomparable to any he had ever seen. : The historical interest that abounds In Constantinople even surpasses, for many, that of its beauty. The city's history extends back nearly 8,000 years. Sinci the corn-laden galleys from the Black sea glided through the Hellespont In the days of Darius and Alexander, and the Phoenicians moved In from the Marmora sea, down to the present time, when gigantic battleships swing at their moorings off Seraglio point, Constantinople has been-an object of . desire, for ambitious military leadets and land-seek-ing nations _ -- . „ American Indians Shields The heavy Iron shield used by knights In the days of chivalry had its prototype In the rawhide disk of the American plains Indiana While the design Imprinted upon the Iron defender of the medieval warrior was symbolic, It was not magical like those emblems painted upon the aboriginal escutcheons now in the possession of the University of Pennsylvania museum, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Art alone did not prompt the American Indian to embellish his defensive weapons, hut a belief in the supernatural power of color laid In designs to ward ofT evil, according to Henry Usher Hall, curator of the section of general ethnology of. the museum.
