In 1773 Goethe explained it as inten- ; tionally so huilt for the purpose of i attracting the spectator’s attention from the ordinary straight shafts of which Pisa in the twelfth cen tury is said to have had 10,000. The baptistry of the cathedral in Pisa, built also in the thirteenth century, leans seventeen inches out of the perpendicular, and the plinth blocks of its foundations tilt down gradually and evenly for nine inches 1 in the direction of this inclination. The Campanile of San Niccolo leans forward in the same way, as like wise do the facades of the Cathe dral of Pisa. It is worthy of note, too, that they curve hack toward the perpendicular. In the leaning tower there is a deliberate effort above the third , floor to return tbifhe perpendicular. This is made by a delicate series of changes in the pitch of the columns , on tjic lower side, evidence taken by some investigators as indication of an attempt to remedy an error made by the architects, the founda tion according to one theory hav ing subsided as the result of their inexperienee with the peculiar soil of Pisa. Careful measurements below the third floor show that the arches of the staircase were deliberately in creased in height and that the downward dip was so arranged that the weight of the tower was thrown | off the overhanging side, w’ritee Mr. Isaac Bickerstaffc in the I>ondon Field. This would have been quite unnecessary if the architect had ; meant the tower to rise straight up j from its foundations.

Probably the majority, if they have a thought at all upon the sub ject, put these down as part and parcel of the original fabric, which dates from 1163. But such is not really the case. The majority are comparatively modern and, curious ly enough, were not carved by French craftsmen at all, but by an Englishman named Frampton, a clever artificer who has long since gone to his rest. About the middle of the last cen tury a then well known London con tractor named George Myers obtain ed the, commission to build a large mansion near Paris for a member of the Rothschild family. In its erection he employed on the spot a large number of-English workers, whom he sent from London for that purpose. Frampton was one of them.

Sir Gcdrge was also asked about the possibility of making Big Ben, the great clock in the tower above the houses of par liament, so trustworthy that it ! would not lose five seconds a day | on the average. He replied that no j clock exposed to the weather could run with so small an error. The late Lord Grimthorpe, however, said he would guarantee that degree of exactness, and by designing his gravity escapement he produced a timepiece that is never five seconds out with the observatory at Green- xvieb, to which it signals its time each day, and on most 'days is dead true. C a r ly le's In te r e s t In th e H o u s e . Carlyle’s interest in domestic de tails, as shown by his letter about taking the house at Cheyne row, was always fairly well continued. He would on occasion find relief for one of his moods or take a pleasure in sweeping down with a broom and water the path and flagged yard of his “bedquilt of a garden.” Nor did he disdain personal concern about the furniture. One of the most vivid little notes to his wife, preserved in the Carlyle collection at Chelsea, is the scrap of paper dated Dec. 24, 1839, in which he scribbled Christmas wishes to his wife and \the promise of a wash- which Napoleon had declared his marriage intention to the deputies, replied: “A fine speech—excellent 1 But I j prefer the sauce to the fish,” mean- j Ing that Napoleon’s words were bet- | ter than his choosing of a bride. Some weeks later, at a dinner giv- | en at the Tuilcries, this senator j was seated next to the empress, i who, observing that after having j been helped to the turbot he declin- I ed the sauce, said to him, smiling roguishly: “Monsieur, I thought it was the 66 W.

Why is it that men give so poor an account of their day if they have not been slumbering? If they had not been overcome with drowsiness they would have performed some thing. The millions are awake enough for physical labor, but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred million to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could I have looked him in the face ?—Thoreau. those wonderful works could also | shape and polish the magnifiers best j suited for their own or others’ use. ! DRIED QRAINS Unappetizing, Cor.
