Sea of Marmora If one wishes or the to be its shores, have probably been the scene of more stirring events in history than any body of water of similar size. It Is little more than 100 miles long end 6ome forty miles across at Its broadest point. Thus it is about the same size as Lake Champlaln. The Marmora is a sort of vestibule between the outer and inner doors of the Black sea the Dardanelles and the Bosporus. The Marmora and the Black seas are no more than twenty miles apart at their nearest point, but it Is astonishing what a difference in aspect twenty miles may make. The Marmora has much of the softness of air, vividness of color, and beauty of scenery .that we associate with, the Aegean and Ionian seas. Thread the narrow slit of the Bosporus, however, and you pass into an entirely different world-ster- ner, barer, rockier, colder. It Is partly perhnps that the Black sea Is very much larger. While its two historic gateways the Dardanelles and the Bosporus are strategically the most Important features of the Marmora, that picturesque little sea has a character of Its own, and one not to be caught from the deck of a Mediterranean liner or from the windows of the Orient express. Such Impressions as the passing tourist takes away are chiefly of the Mat and treeless Tliraelan shore. The longer Asiatic const, however, Is much more Indented, and rises on the southeast to the white peak of the Bithyn-in- n Olympus. A high, green headland divides the eastern end of the Marmora Into the two romantic gulfs of Nlcomedia and Moudanla. The south shore again Is broken by the mountainous peninsula of Oyzleus. Off its windy western corner lies a group of islands, of which the largest Is the one that gives the Marmora its name a mass of marble ten miles long, famous from antiquity for Its quarries. Another considerable Island Is the long, white sandsplt of Kalollm-nos- , Just outside the Gulf of Moudanla ; but best known are the Princes isles, a little archipelago of rock and pine that is a favorite summer resort of Constantinople. Cities on Its Shore j. Id any other part Qf the world this Inland sea would long ago have become a place of sojourn for yachtsmen and summerers, so happily is If treated by sun and wind, so amply provided with bays, capes, Islands, mountains, forests, and all other accidents of nature that make glad the beart of the amateur explorer. As It is, the Marmora remains strangely wild for a sea that has known so much of life; yet Its shores are by no means uninhabited and between them plies many an unhurried sail. The focHB of this quaint navigation is, of course, Constantinople, stnnding high and pinnacled on either side of the crooked blue crack that opens Into the Black sea. The busiest town In the Marmora ; after Constantinople is Pandemia, on i the south shore, Joined to Smyrna by a railway that taps one of the most fertile districts of Asia Minor. In Its vicinity exists one of the few borax mines tn the world. Another little railway climbs through the olive ! yards of the Oulf of .Moudanla to Prusa. on the lower slones of Mnnnt Olympus. This delightful town, the first capital of tho Turks and their most picturesque city, is the Hamhurg Of the Levant, enjoying a renown of many centuries !3 hot mineral spring. It Is also the center of an encient silk industry, first introduced from China In the Sixth century hv Emperor JustlnlR.
