.BOL OGNA'S TOWERS
The Peculiar Leaning Structures in
 Italy That Are World Famous.
They Are Very old and Have Figured i'm Literature, Art and History >-One of Them Was Re-
 gently Sold.

The sale the other day of the lean- ing Gorisenda tower at Bologna to Bar on Raimondo Franchetti, we'll known composer, calls to mind the fact, which may not be very we'll known, that Bo- logna has two of these leaning towers. The leaning tower of Pisa Is famous the world over, but comparatively lit- tle is known of the Garisenda tower and it's companion the Asinelli tower, at Bologna. ;
 The latter derives it's name from Gherardo degh Asinelli, by whom it was begun in 1109. It is 292A feet high and it's inclination is as much as three feet four inches from the center of gravity. 1t can easily be ascended. and possesses a fine view of it's surround ings The near neighbor of AsinelEi is the Gerisenda tower. built about the same time as the former, by the broth CTS Filippo and Oddo Garisenda. 1t is only 130 feet high, but it leans eight feet from the perpendicular to the south and three feet to the east.
 tss There are two theories as to the cause for the remarkable inclination of these massive structures One is that originally these towers were built per- pendicular and that some violent con- vulsion of nature had in the dim and distant past, of which no record was left, had thrown the towers out of plumb, but not enough to destroy them. 1 The other view held is that the towers were constructed exactly as they are seen to-day, the architect aiming at t A s,@ F&Ae- 1 ton.
 Goethe, the celebrated German poet, and author. held the latter opinion,

Postal Fraud Trials.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Robert T. Wynne, first assistant postmaster gen. eral, was the central figure in the post al trial, and when court adjourned he was still on the stand. MT. Wynne's s testimony occupied most of the day, and he was subjected to rigid cross examination by Charles A. Douglass, counsel for the defense, during which the opposing attorneys had several tilts, necessitating word of admonition from Justice Pritchard that they must conduct the case in peace. The first as sistant postmaster general was piled with questions designed to test his knowledge of the duties of his ofi1ce. The witness frankly stated that he had often signed papers prepared in Ma chen's division without examining into their contents because they came to him in official form and because of the fact that he regarded Machen as one of the most expert men in the service and relied on him.

end wrote as follows regarding these two towers: "The leaning tower has frightful look, and yet 1t is most proba- ble that 1t was built thus designedly. This seems to me an explanation of the absurdity. In the troublous times of the city every large house was fort Tess, and every powerful family had a tower. By and bye, the very possession of such building became mark of Importance and distinction, and as at last perpendicular tower became q perfectly common and everyday object, leaning tower was built. Architect and owner attained their object; the mass of upright towers are just glanced at, and all spectators hurry or to ex- anime the leaning towers.
 With this view of the matter, Gari senda may be considered to have begun in rivalry a little after the Asineli tower and may be looked upon as a memorial of architectural family pride. J. Fenirnore Cooper, the popular American author, held the same view as Goethe as regards the origin of the singular inclined character of the tow CTS. He examined them carefully, and wrote in defense of his views that Tho
 cracks, no dislocation of the columns,
 and not the least derangement of the
 parts of the towers within or without 7 must lead one to conclude that the tow
 CTS were built out of the perpendicular and not made so by earthquake after they were completed
 One reason why it is thought that the towers were originally upright is that the foundations on one side ap-
 pear to be buried, and it is said that there is an ancient painting which rep- l resents one of the towers as upright.
 Dante was impressed by the sight of the leaning towers and in his Inferno he compares the giant Antaeus, who bends toward him to lift him down into the depths of inferno, to the Garisenda l tower, when cloud passes over it." Bologna is much dissatisfied over the sale of the Garisenda tower and the government has been urged to interfere for the purpose of securing it.
