Origin Of SIanting Roofs.

To find the source from which the Eu-
ropean nations have derived the art OF
building in stone, we must look to the
land Of the PharaOhs. From Egypt the
craft passed to Greece, and from the
Greeks it was taken up by the Romans, to
be by them disseminated through the
north and west of Europe in the process
Of colonization. The similarity, in re-
gard to the constructive parts Of the an
cient Greek buildings to some OF those
found in Egypt or older date, affords
strong confirmation of the tradition that
the Greeks borrowed the art from the
Egyptians. The Greeks, however, in
adopting IL, added a new feature, the
pediment, and the reason for thSs addi-
ton IS easy to find. Egypt is practically
rainless. All the protection from the
climate required in palace or temple in
such n country is shelter from the sun by
day and from the cold by night, and for
this fat roof, supported by walls, or
pillars with Grcitraves, is quite sufficient;
but when, as in all European countries,
rain has 10 be taken into account, q slant
ing roof becomes a necessity.
The Greeks, with their eye for SYM
metry, provided for this by forming the
roof with central ridge, at an obtuSe
angle, from which it sloped down equally
on either side. The triangular space thus
formed at the end of the building, above
the architrave, was occupied by the pedi-
ment, and this part of the facade, which
owed its birth to the eXigencies of eli
mate, was thenceforth regarded as 50 es-
sential to the artistic completeness of the
work that it was said that If temple
were to lie erected in the celestial regions,
where rain would not be possible, the ped
ment could not be omitted.-Popular

Profits OF the French Novelis.s.

As the human demand for instruction Is
less ardent than the demand for amuse-
ment, the pecuniRry reward of even the
lucklest novelist seems slight We hear
Of fortunes made in France by novelists
ike NJ. Zola and NJ Daudet Why Is
similar luck so very, very rare in Eng
landl Why do NJ. Zola and NJ. Daudet
do so much better than our Englishmen
of letters like Mr.. Trollope, who was also
a man Of business, This is q mystery
No economist has fathomed it Certainly
the French system of publishing novels is
infinitely more simple than the English
systt m. Novels are usually sold in one
volume, at price rather over half a
-rown, say three and sixpense,
adding the sixpence for a plain
binding. OF this half crown the author
receives royalty-fourpence or five
pence, or only twopence, according to his
popularity and the demand for his books.
Say he sells 50. 200 copies Of a novel land
NJ. Ohnet, NJ. Zola, and NJ. Daudet often
sell far morel. and he makes about 81, 400
at a royalty of fJurpence. This Is exclusive
Of the price paid for the serial publication
Of the tale as the feuilleton OF a news
paper.
Most French newspapers have their
novel running, and, on the whole, 1t will
appear that a successful French novelist
has rather profitable business, especi-
ally as he often dramstizes his tale and
reaps the rich rewards Of the theatre
But though the facts are patent, no one
has yet discovered who buy the $1,000 or
10000 copies Of %Sappho" or Serge Pa
nine" never saw Frenchmsn buy a
novel at a railway station, or read any
thing but newspaper. This, then, Is the
great mystery. But il Is certain that their
half-crown books do sell, somehow, and
Il is certain that the British novels sale
is limited to the brief and accidental de-
mand of the circulating libraries
