ARCHITECTURAL ART.
Nineteenth Century Experiments and fe-
yivals Which Have Been Fruitless.

yiYals Which Have Been Ffuitlesa.
The hest that can he said Of the archi-
lecture Of the nineteenth injury IS that
il has been AN architecture Of exception
ally learned, ingenious and accomplish
ed individuaiitics. II has been an art OF
experiments which have failed and of
nryiyals which have been fruitless
These individuaEti with their con-
seriousness highly educated and trained
have been embarrassed rather than aided
by their knowledge Of the great achieve
ments of the past. 1t does net seem to
have occurred to them to appeal to the
sympathies Of the people hy uttering
their inspirations i'll the vulgar tongue,
but they have lahored with immense
talent and ingenu Y to interpret and
apply dead languages. Their efforts
have been reminiscent, exclusive and
experimental. The architects have an
alyzed, theorized, disputed and argued
They have formed schools conserving
classic or romantic traditions-schools
which have fallen apart because prog
ress has been found to be impossible on
merely archaeological lines.

under these conditions have been bril-
liant and powerful and have had great
following of lesser men. As the century
has advanced certain of these individu-
alities have been inspired by nobler and
loftier motives. The architecture of the
century, because it has been nourished
in the same soil that produced the cleo
trio telegraph the telephone and all the
other triumphs of industrial art, has
exhibited certain sporadic vitality has
occasionally thrown out mighty branches
full of the possibilities Of great frui-
ton, but because it has not enjoyed the
advantage of concentrated effort it has
not lowered as it Powered in the thir-
teenth and sixteenth centuries, still less
as it Powered in the ages Of Pericles and
Augustus. Henry Van Brunt in At
lantic.

There was an air of tolerant superior

able comments on the things brought to
his attention doubly hard to bear. His
Washington host was doing his best to
show him the city in such manner as
to leave a good impression, for he had
announced his intention of writing a
book as soon az he got back to London.
But whatever he saw served only to
bring to mind something in Europe that
he liked better.
