MANY CENTURIES IN BUILDING.
The Long Time Required to Erect
the Cologne Cathedral.
(From Stray Storles)

While the first stone of Cologne Csthe-

body of the edikee was not opened until
August Is. 1913. 500 years later to the
very day. il was not. however. until Au-
gust 10, 1885, that the splendid structure
was finally reported completed, having
thus occupied in building the record time
of exactly So years.

ntsflrnrinr Advertisements.

Whether the advertising agent thinks
he is the Constitution or not is doubtful,
but at any rate he Insists on following
the flag. It is said that the patent medi-
cine vendors, the stove backing agents,
and various other sign painters and bill
posters, are already leaving signs Of their
baIeful presence in the American colo
MES
There ought TO be some way to stop
this thing. The grand scenery and beau
tifu1 hooks of country rich in Latu-
raj beauty should not be disfgured with
advertisements of soap and pills There
is no land in which the face of nature. as
originally created, is not beautiful; and
it ought not to be made unlovely with
tattoe-marks, paint, and pIasters. That
is barbaric.
Moreover. it does no one any particular
good Is it to be supposed that anyone
will be more likely to buy a particular
variety Of liver pills from having seen
them advertised on the Palisades OF the
Hudson? Is anyone moved to purchase
members having seen It's virtues record
ed in large. ugly black letters upon the
side of the Great Pyramid? Some places
are eFeetuaIIy protected from this abom-
ination; why not all? Nobody thinks Of
pa Ing advertisements on the side of the
Washington Monument, or if anyone
does it steps with thinking. Why should
it be considered possible to spoil the
beauty of Niagara Falls or Yellowstone
Park by advertisements?
There should be nothing easier than to
detect and punish ttoee who perpetrate
this crime against esthe sicism. The Grim
inal signs his name in plain sight, and he
Is usually worth enough money to pay a
large fine. If it is desired that more
money be raised for the expenses of
government. let it be raised IL this way
Let there be a Law, imposing heavy fine
On every firm which advertises its wares
On rocks, trees. wayside fences. or any
other place where an advertisement ought
not to be. And let steps be taken to effaee
whatever disfguring signs of this kind
now exist
The mania Of tire advertising man for
placing his name in unheard-of and map
Prepriate places is perhaps akin 10 tlat
which leads the boy 10 carve his initials
OF scrawl his sigaasa re on doorposts and
fences and monuments. The idea seems
to be that the person who does this de-
rives dignity from the presence OF his
name in such an inappropriate place There
are People who seam to think that It IS to
their credit if they place their signatures
on any famous or beautiful structure The
feeling is perhaps sort Of fetch worship

Like most American fathers-in-law Of

The Philadelphia Message to KrsEer.
It viii be Remembered that the school
children Of Philadelphia sent some tiIns
ago 10 President kruger resolutions of
sympathy with his cause, the signatures
numbering several thousand. With these
was also sent large scrapbook, gor-
geousIy bound. and containing iununer-
able newspaper articles. cartoons, and
pictures relating TO the Boer war. Rich
ard Harding Davis happened to be in
Pretoria when the two gifts arrived, and
describes the scene. which was curious.
significant, and both pathetic and funny.
The scrapbook was so large that It
travelled in a special case Of its own, and
when the bearer thereof. a Philadelphia
boy. was brought into the presence CT
the Boer ruler, he became confused, not
to say clustered. aud could not open the
case. Finally some bright person sug-
gested that he might use the key, which

second, for the unfortunate Philadelphia
boy, who was obliged to explain the mat
ter. But it was explained. ana the book
presented. though it failed to arouse en-
thusiasm in the soul of the old Boer.
The significance OF the scene lies in the
difference between the Boer character

Beer character. Evidently. the people
who spent so many dollars on that mag

world. The fact is that he cared very
little about It. especially at that time,
for it happened that the resolutions and
the book arrived when he was preparing
to take his flight frem Pretoria. The
-scrapbook emphasized bitterly the fact
that a great many sympathetic words had
been said about the BOer cause, when
were nothing but words.
