ANOTHER MYTH SMASHED

One after another all our cherised
Rhodes is now smashed by two distln-
guished iconoclasts. M. BarthOldi
goes at the great brazen statue of an
tiquity with his hammer and chisel
because it is alleged to be bigger than
the statue eff Liberty which overlooks
New York iIarbor and which the de
signer therefore does not mean shall
be overlooked when gigantic works of
that kind in arcient, modern or myth
ical history are talked of. And no
New Yorker will be brought to believe
that the ancient Rhodians ever looked
upon the like.
Next comes NJ. Eiffel. The engineer
of the tall tower in Paris. He confess
es that if Colossus was what it IS
claimed to have been neither he nor
any other modern engineer could have
set it up. Therefore-and the logic is
complete-no such Colossus was con-
structed. 1t is absurd to say that
those old, ignorant heathens, with out
steam or any of our modern engineer
ing appliances, could have accomp-
lished what our great modern engin-
GERS and architects have done.
And yet there are evidences here
and there on the face Of the earth
the Pyramids, Stonehenge, the OBJ
elisks, the Colos, seem, the immense
architecture of Egypt and Greece, the
Roman remains in the way Of aque-
ducts and roads-which are reminders
that there were engineers, architects,
designer and sculptors even before
the days MN. Eiffel and Bartholdi,
and possibly that thy possessed mar
velous mechanical means which now
are among the lost arts,

TRUTH AND FICTION.

Touchstone says that ''the truest
poetry is the most feigning.o Without
going that length, we may affirm that
the construction of correct verslf1ca-
ton gives a man SO much to think OF
that he can not attend very strictly TO
the truth of what he says. Blank
verse Of the ordinary sort does not
come under this rule; 1T leaves the
mind very free. And hymns = Dr.
Watts ruthlessly sacrifices the sound
to the sense; some lesser lights sacr1-
fee the sound without benefitlng the
sense. But no one can read some
parts of Pope carefully-those lines ID
which, in word Or two, he sums up
the character or achievements OF the
notabilities of the day-Wlthout sus-
pecting that all apt rhyme occasional
Iv beguiles the poet into more forc1-
BILE expression of admiration or con-
tempt than he would give in prose.
The teller or writer Of the story has
the impulse upon him SO strongly to
make it a good story that it is next to
impossible for him to avoid modifying
it's more commonplace features. And
he adds a little here and he prunes a
little there Point before precision
is. it may be feared, sometimes even
the historians motto. There are We
racious narratives we feel bound to
accept on the word of our friends.
We should not have believed the sto-
ries had any one else told them; as it
is, we store them in our memories as
splendid illustrations of the often
quoted saying of the poet that truth
is stranger than fiction.
