LEANING TOWERS.

Notre Dame at Paris offers another
instance of front which leans out be-
low and then straightens to the per-
pendicular (by an offhand change of
direction. not by a curvel- The inclina-
ton does not extend above the first
story, and is roughly estimated to be
about nine inches. Those who exam
inc this facade in Paris should be care
full to notice that the buttress mason
~ at the lower part of the northwest
angle is modern repair, and here the
lean has been ob1iterated.
The facts regarding Notre Dame
were hastily observed during the Paris
exposition in 1900. They We're pub.
lished in the Journal of the Archae-
No 1. New Series. 1901.
The leaning facade Of the Ferrara
cathedral has already been noticed
and Illustrated in the Ar6hffs ctural
Record. This is the one important
medieval instance, so far observed
which shows a continuous forward
lean as distinct from return bend.
There are no partings of the masonry
on the sides, such as would have oc-
Cured if the foundations of the build
ing had yielded. The amount of this
lean appears to be about % inches in
about 96 feet. Thus we are able to
quote. so far, four important medi-
eval instances in italy. of which
three are certainly imDregnable, and /
have personally. no doubt about Fer
rara.
K On the other hand. there are three
leaning facades in Italy which must
be considered as possibly accidental.
In the cathedral of Volterfa the south
wall has bulged out so far that it had
to be supported by building which
was erected against it, This fact
casts suspicion on the constructive in
tention of the leaning facade at Vol
terra, although there is, on the face
of things, no reason why a building
which was constructed with such a
refinement should not also have met
with an accidental mishap. There is
a concave curve in one of the upper
faces of the Part1lenon which has
been attributed bv Penrose to the ex-
nlosion which ruined the building.
This has never been held by Mr. PEN
rose, or by others, to cast doubt on
the existence of constructive curves
in the Parthenon.
Two slher doubtful cases are those
of s. Pierino at Pisa and of S. Simone
Juda at Lucca. The facade of the
Madonna dell'Orto at Venice is very
probably a good constructive instance.
There is nothing to discredit it. ex-
ceDting the fact of its being in Venice,
where the foundations of buildings
are supposed. without very good rea-
son. to be peculiarly unstable. This
facade curves back to the perpendicu-
lar. and this alone seems to establish
constructive purposes. The observa-
tons Of this church lin 1880 We're
rather hurried. and no .plumbs were
taken. so that for the present it. must
be considered as an undetermined
case. William H. Goodyear.

Apropos of the acquittal of Molin-
eux, one writer has the following to
say: '"rhe theory Of criminal juris-
prudence in our courts is fairly good,
but the practice is so VIGOROUSLY bad
that it meets with universal condem
nation. Our courts ought to be not
only above suspicion, but above impo-
sition by shysters of large practice and
respectable regulations. We are ser
iously in need of speedy trials of all
indictments. courts that are above
fear or favor. and clean district attor-
neys. This means taking the admin
istration of the courts out of politics,
for politics and judicial probity never
work well together.

One of the reasons why Wall street
was recently thrown into a state of
excitement was caused by the rumOr
that Keene had had a falling-out with
his son-in-law. Talbot ]. Taylor, and
had suddenly and in his huff trans
ferred his headquarters to the broker
age establishment of Samuel Boocock.
Now. Booeock was Keene's chief bro
ker in years of old, before Talbot J.
Taylor married his daughter. It was
Boecock that managed some of the
daring operators most daring cam
paigns on the bear side of the market
From this it is easy to see why Wall
street should have attached a great
deal of importance to the report of
Keene's spectacular transfer of head
quarters from Tay1ors house where
he has been the bull leader of the mar
ket since his alliance with the Morgan
party, to the house of broker who
in former years had been his bear
lieutenant. But it was a false and
unnecessary excitement, born of the
same mental stress then prevailing in
the market. Father in-Law Keene
may have had tilt with Son-in-Law
Taylor, but it wasn't anything serious
enough to cause a break of their pro
fessional relations. And as for Boo
cock there is good reason to believe
that he has borne close relations to
his old principal all the time, although
keeping himself far in the background,
which. indeed, he always did, even
when heswas Keene's ranking man.

no appropriation considered above for
the state historical building or for a
state arsenal. There is a sentiment
abroad that it may be safe to approprl-

gent on the securing of some part OF the
war claims, but this is the only item
that will be appropriated on that basis.
The appropriations committees VIII
have to pass up q great many of the

AS for the war claims on which some
members have been counting confident
ly. nobody seems to know just where
they are at this time. The representa-
tive Of the war department who went
over the ground with Capt. Lothrop
was confident that the sum which Iowa
would recover could not exceed $780,
600, and may be much less. There is n
law point that must be considered, and
much may depend upon the way the
case is presented to the board of audi
tors at the right time. If the state did

ments from the government during and
Immediately after the war, instead of
charging off the interest account, then
the larger sums claimed will be recov-
cred, but the representative of the
treasury department held that this was
rot the right theory. All depends upon
the construction of this law point. 1t
is not safe to expect any large sum i'm
mediately on account of the war claims,
and good members of both houses are
not doing go.
