Amid the many menacing.perils that threaten his thorny throne the new sultan of Turkey can find consolation for all Moslem disasters by contem- plating the “Shining Stone” in the. mosque of St. Sophia, This is a slab of translucent marble, brought from Persia, which has been’ fixed to the western side of the gallery. rays of dazzling brilliancy during ‘pe- riods of Turkish prosperity or ef re- ligious triumphs for Islam, Dut be- comes black and opdque, however cloudless the skies, whenever some calamity is about to befall the Otto- man empire or the faith. It has not hitherto been darkened during the pres: ent war, though the sultan’s armies have so frequentl¥ been defeated and the power of Islam seemed to suffer eclipse. Thus the mystic stone, ever shining, proves to believing Moslems that, however fate may frown, the real victory remains with them, Making Tin Plate in Australia, The supplies of tin plate for Austral- asia, the walue of which amountato over $12,000,000 :per year, are drawn from Great Britain and America; but recently the lack of shipping and other difficulties have led to a serious short- age in deliveries.
