Tho colorne Cathedral.

The great Cathedral at Cologne, whose
completion ON Saturday has been announced
in our telegraphic columns, has been build
ing for nearly six and halt centuries, the
foundation having been laid in 1913, under
the auspices of Archbishop Conrad of lloch-
stedten The present cathedral WAS built
upon the site of another which was built in
Sl4 under the command of Charlemagne, and
which, in ll62, became hallowed by the
ashes of three holy kings, brought thither by
Frederic Barharossa from Milan. The old
cathedral was destroyed by fire early in the
thirteenth century. Work upon the new
structure went on slowly until the close of
the seventeenth century, when the Thirty
Years War. and aftcrward the French ocCu-
patton, delayed its completion. On the ac-
cesson of Frederick William ". of Prussia,
the enterprise received new impetus. An
association for carrying od the work and a
journal were organized, and the foundation
stone of the transept was laid with great
pomp Sept. 4, 1912. In September, lSiS the
800th anniversary of the laying ot the corner
stone of the main building was celebrated
with popular rejoicings. During the next
decade subscriptions flowed in literally,
but the work went on slowly, until the world
had come to believe that the vast pile would
never reach completion. Indeed there is Il
legend in Cologne which attributes the delay
To no less II thing than the Evil One himself,
who, it is said, became jealous of the vast
ness of the undertaking and vowed it should
never be completed. The Cathedral of Col
ogne is considered one of the finest monu-
ments -of Gothic art in the world. The
enormous pile towers up above the city and
the surrounding plain, like II mountain when
seen ut distance Ii is in the form of II
crucifx, 5ll feet in length, 23l in breadth,
the twin towers rising loa height ui 5ll feet.
The heaviest ot the SIX bells weighs II tons.
Under Il slab in the pavement of the choir is
buried the heart OF Maria tie 'Mcdici, who
died ut Cologne in the same house where
Rubens was born. In adjoining side chapcls
are monuments of the founder and other
archbshops and the shrine of the Three
Kings adorned with gold and precious stones.
The name OF the original architect is I'M
known, hut in 1880, his plans were found in
the dusty archives Uf the building and lhs
design, after 50 many hundred years, has
been at length brought 10 IFS contamination.
