THOSE CLEVER GREEKS.

How They Managed in Their Architecture
to Counterfeit Natural Fault of the
Eye.
If you turn book upside down and
look at the letters, every will seem
much smaller at the bottom than at the
top, although, when the book is prop
erly held, both halves appear the same
size to the eye.
The upper part of the type that prints
the letter is made smaller than the
lower half to correct the fault of the
eye, which always slightly exaggerates
the former, When the letter is turned
over, this same trick of the sight makes
the difference seem greater than it real
" is; and, of course, were it of the
same width all the way, it would still
look uneven.
In greater matters, the false report of
the eye is greater. If tapering mon
ument, like that on Bunker Hill or like
the Obelisk in Central Park, were made
with perfectly straight sides, it would
look to us-for, you see, We really can
not trust our own eyes-as if it were
followed in a little; or, as we should
say in more scientific language, Its
sides would appear concave.
Those clever Greeks, who did so
many marvellous things in art, thought
all this out, and made their architecture
upon principles so subtle and so COM

prehensive that we have never been
able to improve on them since. Ihey
found that their beautiful Doric cor
ums, if made with straight sides, had
the concave effect of which l have
spoken; and so, with the most delicate
art in the world, they made the pillar
swell a little at the middle, and then 1T
appeared exactly right.
This swelling of the column at its
middle was called entasiS. OF course il
had to be calculated with the greatest
nicely, and was actually so very slight
that it can only be detected by delicate
measurements; but it added greatly to
the beauty of the columns and to their
effectiveness.
Then the lines which were to look
horizontal had to receive attention. If
you look at a long, perfectly level line,
as the edge of roof, for instance, it
has the appearance of sagging toward
the middle. The Greek architect cor
rected this fault by making his lines
rise little. The front of the Parthe-
non, at Athens, is one hundred and one
feet three and half inches long, and,
in this, the rise from the horizontal is
about two and one-eighth inches. In
other words, there is curvature up
ward that makes it little more than
two inches higher in the center than at
the ends, and the effect of this swelling
upward is to make the lines appear per-
fectly level Indeed. this same Parthe-
non-the most beautiful building in the
world-when delicately and carefully
measured was found to be everywhere
made little incorrect, so that it may
appear right, which is certainly what
may be called an architectural paradox.
The graceful columns, which seem to
stand so straight, are made TO lean in
ward a little. since, if they were per
feclly true and plumb, they would have
the effect of leaning outward. The pill
lars at the corners slant inward more
than the others, and everywhere the
corners are made to look square by be-
ing in truth little broader angled,
and lines are curved in order that they
shall appear straight to the eye.-Artc

WISE USE OF MONEY.

why Every Young Man and Boy Should
Aim to Lay by Small Weekly Savings.
But very few young people know the
true use for the money they earn. 1t is
first to pay for subsistence; second in
aid to those needing charity; third, and
last, as a source OF income or accumu-
lation. To spend money for any other
purpose is to waste it Everything pur-
chased should be of real and subStan-
tial value, convertible into other and
greater value if possible. No one can
afford to give his time and genius TO
earning money and then eXpend what
me bias earned for that which is not sub
stantiaL Far be Ter is it to accummu-
late and hold ones earnings until the
time for death comes, and then turn 1t
over to some worthy charity, where it
may do good for the unfortunate.
Every one can earn enough and more
than enough to meet all his wants and
needs if they be as moderate as they
should be, and if he finds he has sur
plus. which he is certain of, he can be-
stow it upon those who have been un-
fortunate. In expending money the
young man should always ask himself;
''Do | need this2" He should not ask:
do l want this?" Wants are, too
often, the children of children. There
is nothing manly in giving away to de
sires and being governed by them. 10
do so is to become the slave of morbid
appetite How many men, in the
evening of their days, looking
back can see that they have
earned millions of dollars, even, and
vet have not managed to save to them
selves a single hundred. 1t is this
which embitters the close of life. The
man sees that he has been not only less
frugal than he should have been, but
wasteful His hard-earned money has
slipped out of his hands in drIblets as
fast as he could earn it. He has spent
it for useless things. He has even
damaged his health in indulgences
which were poisonous to his physical
and mental systems When young
man secures employment he should
firmly resolve-"out of my earnings all
necessary expenses shall be paid. The
remainder | will rigidly reserve for
future uses in the same direction" We
aver that all young men will meet
period when five hundred dollars would
prove the first step to competence to
support them in old age. Then it
should be the aim of every mechanic
or other industrial to secure that sum.
1t may take two or three years to secure
it. If so, all the more reason for Sc
curing it. Money to one so long &C
cumulating such sum is OF far greater
value to him than to one who gets it
ahead in one year. But above all, the
pursuit of this course makes better citi-
zen and a better man, in all respects, of
the one engaged in it, than does the So
called Liberal and open-hearted gen
erous" life The latter is the life of
spendthrift who becomes besmirched
with all the evils of humanity, and too
often ending in wreck, ruin and dis
grace. The popularity is among his
own class, and not worth having. Al
