Very soon we rounded Seraglio Point and were disembarking in the Golden Horn. Iagineers, Reoms 113-31) Drase Mies LAKELAND, FLA. Resembles Pittsburgh, There is no city in which its config- uration more nearly resembles Pitts- burgh than Constantinpole. The same great hills everywhere. In Stamboul we have Pittsburgh proper, while Scu- tarl, over in Anatolia, made famous by its hospital service in the days of the Crimean war, holds the position of Allegheny. Pera and Galata, the abodes of the Venetian allies of Con stantine Palaeologue, are Mount Wash ington and the Southside. Beautiful suburbs abound in all directions. The Golden Horn, the splendid har- bor of the city, is located like the Mo- nongehela river; the Bosphorus like the Ohio river, and the Sea of Mar- mora occupies the position of the Al legheny river. The beautiful and romantic strait, called the Bosphorus, s a swift flow- ing stream, running about five miles an hour, varying in width from a mile and a half to less than half a mile, while its length is 18 miles from Ser- aglio Points to the Black sea.

"u..‘"h\) At the narrowest part of the Bos- phorus, about seven miles aboove Con- stantinople, the Greeks in olden days had built towers, one on the Asiatie, the other on the FKuropean shore. These guarded the passage of the strait, The Gireeks had abandoned the tower on the Asiatic shore and had permitted it to become a ruin. The Ottoman, seceing its value, took pos- sessfon of it, and, as the Greeks raised but feeble objection, they soon pos- sessed themselves of the other tower, scarcely two- thousand feet away, which they rebuilt and strongly forti- fled, and this was their first start to- wards the subjugation of southwestern Europe. These towers still exist, the one on the Anatolian shore being called Anadoll Hissar, named also “the tower of Oblivion,” because pris- oners confined there were never heard of more; the other hearing the name of Roumeli Hissar, or the tower of the Romans. These towers are at about the very narrowest part of the Bosphorus, of whieh Pliny said, “You can hear in one continent the dogs bark and the birds sing in the other.” You can also hear the ox bellowing, the name Bosphorus being derived from the Greek name for ox, bous. Superb scenery, beautiful homes and many quaint villages cover the entire distance on both shores from the city to the Black seca. The Golden Horn, than which there is probably no more beautiful harbor in the world, ex- tends from the Bosphorus to the Sweet Waters of Europe, a distance of five or six miles Once Roman Capital. Under the name Byzantion a city was built on the site now occupled by Stamboul, long before the founding of Rome, and like Rome, it was bullt on seven hills. When Constantine had concluded to remove his seat of em- |§ pire from Rome to the east, he saw the beauty and superiority of this lo- | @ cation over that of Rome, and hence, | § In 830 he made Byzantion his capital, and the capital of the Roman empire, naming it for himself, Constantinople. | § It has been a capital ever since, and it will likely continue to be a capital | for all time, Turk or no Turk, because it 18 the situation for a great capital |§ city. Its septicollian feature is a matter |§ of the diseant past, and it is today a city of many hills, which with the in- |3 termediate valleys have been covered in all directions with buildings ot! every description. These are ma|nlyf of wood, of inferior architecture and | construction, ready for a fire at a mo. | ment's notice, although interspersed | among them are many noble edifices. | The new palace of Dolma-Bagtche, on | the Bosphorus, is at once beautiful | and superd in dimensions, constructed of marble, with a front of about 2,500 feet, and sald to possess one of the most complete interfors of any in Eu- | rope, and here the Padizhah of all the | Ottomans resides.
