The Human Figure.

The ancient Greeks produced the
greatest sculptors the world has ever
seen, and made the human figure their
especial study. 1t is to them we owe
the measurements here given. and by
which they made all their statues.
From the crown to the nape OF the
neck is one-twelfth the stature Of ,
perfectly formed a The hand,
from the wrist to the end OF the mid
die finger, Ii one-tenth of the total
height. A mar OF good proportion Is
as tall as the distance between the
tips of his fingers. when both arms
are extended to full length. The face
from the highest point Of the fore
head, where the hair begins. to the
end of the chin, is one-tenth of the
whole stature. II the face, from the
roots Of the hair to the chin, be d.
vided into three equal parts. the first
division determines the place where
the eyebrows should meet, the second
the opening of the nostrils. The pro-
portions of the human figure are six
times the length Of the right foot
Whether the form Is slender or plump
the rule holds good, on an average.
Any deviation from the rule II a de-
