Architecture.

Architecture, like music and tho
drama. is On art whi,S, needs for each
of its works one composer and many
executants. If the building, the ora
tOriO, or the play is to be perfect some
at least of the eXecutantS must them
selves be artists. The great difficulty
of the modern architect is that so few
of the executants in his heart are any,
thing more than mechanics. A large
proportion of them mast have been no
more than this nj the best time, and
architecture 50 far differs from other
arts that for many of its executants no
more than this is needed. A common
excavator, it is evident, can dig u
trench, q common bricklayer can build
q wall, without needing to have any
thing OF the artist in his composition.
As regards the majority Of men plain
mechanical work Is all they can do,
and all they wish to do. and such work.
in the main, ID what even the greatest
architectural achievements are made
up Of In stages far above digging and
'valling there is very much indeed to
be done that requires nothing more
than good workmanlike ability. Nearly
all those features Of . building. very
numerous and very important, which
consist Of straight lines and circu ar
curves. can be perfectly worked from
drawing BY any one with fair
mechanical skill. The architect has
only to see that they are we'll designed, |,
and there are plenty Of workmen, even
now. who II take care that they aro
well executed. But the critical rsint
Is passed when We come to features
which q drawing cannot fully explain.
The mechanical workman can produce
from drawings the largest arch-mold-
ing, the most complex nave-pier, the
finest window tracery; and from tho
same drawing Of such things every
competent workman will produce, prac-
tically. the same result. The reason is.
that every point about them can be
absolutely fixed and settled by lines and
figures, and there is therefore no oren-
ing in them, or only the smallest con-
ceivable opening for the workman's art
power. even II he has any. But allsthis
is changed at once when we come to
details, which . drawing cannot per-
fectly explain. The mere mechanic is
equal to the largest geometrical pat
tern, but not to the smallest piece Of
leaf ornament, much less to ornament
Of higher class. All sorts of mysteri-
GUS reasons have been assigned for tho
difference, because, like Sir Thomas
Browne. art theorists ''love to lose
themselves in an o altitudo," and be-
cause the real explanation is too sim'le
and obvious to leave opportunities iOr
fine writing and defamation. Tho
plain fact, however. is that the me o
mechanic can only 90 with SAFETY as
far rs he is guided; that he cannot 9
guided, except by way Of partial say
gestion, where difficult and comp'ex
forms come in, and that, therefore, in
the latter case an artist-workman is
wanted. who. in his own special de-
partment, can guide himself. Conte"'-

Forgotten Feat.

Thus Tar his season stranger conn
ing TO Boston and being told that owing
to the change to standard time it was
October here. would find little in the
temperature to undcceivc him. In the
mi ist of such GOODNESS il is instructive
to recall the frightful heat of past ears.
In 627 A. d., according to French pc
riodical. the heat was so great in
France and Germany that all springs
dried up; water became so scarce that
many people died of thirst. In S79
work in the fields had to be given up;
agricultural laborers persisting IN their
work were struck down in few min
utes. SO powerful was the sun. In 1898
the suns rays were SO fierce tiat vege-
tation burned up rs under the action of
ire. In 1000 rivers ran dry under the
protracted heat; the fish were left dry
in heaps, and putreiied in few hours.
The stencil that ensued produced the
plague. Men and animals venturing in
the sun in the summer of 1922. fell
down diving, the throat parched to a
,inder and the blood rushing to the
brain. In 1882, not only did the rivers
Try up. but the ground cracked on
every side and became baked to the
hardness 0f stone. The Rhine in Alsace
nearly dried up. Italy was visited with
terrible heat in 1l39. vegetation and
plants were burned up. During tho
battles of Bella, in 1860, there were
more Victims by the sun than by
weapons: men fell down surstruck in reg
ular rows. The summer Of 1877 was also
severe; there was an absolute dearth of
forare 1908 and 100. the Rhine, Loire
AMI Seine ran dry. In 1918 the heat
throughout Europe became excessive.
Scotland suffered particularly in 1925;
men and beasts died in scores The
heat in several departments during the
summer of 1905 was equal to that in
glass furnace. Meat could be cooked
by merely exposing It to the sun. Not
a soul dare venture out between noon
and four O'Clock in the afternoon. In
l7lS many shops mad to close; the
tieaters never opened their doors for
several months. Not drop of water
fell during six months. In 1883 the
thermometer rose to one hundred and
eighteen degrees. In 1879 the heat at
Bologna was SO great that a great num-
ber of people were stifled. There was
not sufficient air for the breath, and
people had to take refu. under ground.
In July. 1893, the heat became intolera-
bic. Vegetables were burned up, and
fruit dried upon the trees. The furni-
ture and woodwork in dwelling houses
cracked and split up: meat went bad in
an hour. The rivers ran dry in several
provinces during 1911; expedients had
to be devised for the grinding of corn.
In 1922 prOtracted heat was accom-
panied by storms and earthquakes;
during the drought legions of mice over
ran Lorraine and Aisace, committing
incalculable damage. In 1882 the heal
brought about cholera in France;
twenty thousand persons fell victims to
the visitation in Paris alone. In 1886
the thermometer marked one hundred
and twenty Eve degrees in tho sun.
Finally, the summers of 1859, 1860,
1869, 1870, 1874, etc., although exces-
sively hot, were not attended by any dis
aster.-Boston advertiser.

The consumption of fruit must be
increasing prodigiously in this country,
and Is undoubtedly improving the ma
tional health. In addition to the enor-
nous consumption of berries and small
fruits which has grown up in the last
twenty years, there is a vast consump.
tion Of apples. oranges and grapes and
imported pineapples and bananas.
There were received at New York fol
the year ending with March, l55 car
goes by sail and 1I3 by steamer Of
bananas alone. and immense numbers
are received at other ports. During
the same time forty-eight cargoes Of
pine apples and $4,000 barrels BY

Norwegian Head. Dresses.

The most common head-dress of the
Norwegian women consists of Q simple
kerchief of cotton, sometimes of silk,
embroidered at the corners. 1t is
doubled, folded over the head. and tied
under the chin. In sunny weather it
is allowed to project over tho forehead,
50 as to shield tho face from the sun.
The corner, which hangs down behind,
shows the embroidered pattern AMI pro-
tects the neck and the back Of the head
In tho neighborhood of Bergen, how
ever, more elaborate head-dresses arc
seen. The patterns are various. but
they are all more or less picturesque.
n most cases they tonslst of o crown OF
white dimity held out by light but
stiff board. Both the kerchief and the
red tapes by which it is tied hang down
the back almost to the waist. In keep
ing with this is the blue bodice, worn
over a white blouse, and held in ito
place by red and yellow shoulder
straps. Still moro character istic and
imposing are the bridal crowns worn in
some parts of the country. particularly
in the Bergen province, and in Thele-
marken, where the primitive customs
of the country are still preser, ed,
though in other parts they are rapidly
disappearing before the inevite BILE ad-
vance of civilization. These crowns
are very elaborate and, on the whole.
Misunderstanding erections. They
are profusely decorated with inexpen-
sive gems, but, tawdry as they often
are, they are sacredly preserved rs
heirloonas, and are proudly shown by
their possessors to their children and
grandchildren a. titles of hoaor if not
to mob lity.
Honduras is said TO be . perfect
paradise for lazy people. Farmers. me-
chanics, and others can earn enough in
a few weeks to support them for year.
and as a majority OF the inhabitants
only care for mere support, few OF
them work more than q week or two at
a time. The soil is said to o. remark
ably fertile and tho climate delightful,
Centenarians are the rule, and all the
inhabitants live to an advanced age.
The shipment of buffalo bones from
the plains of the West to Eastern

two hundred carloads. Delivered at
