THE FLuTEo COLUMN.
Why the Greeks Adopted This Form,
In Their Architecture.

The Greeks observed that n smooth
column melted In the light and that its
lines were vague ana uncertain. writes
Jean Schoepfer in the Architectural
Record Magazine. In order to restore
its defnitcness they conceived the idea
Of fiuting 1t. The sharp ridges of the
Outings, catching the light. contrasted
with the dark hollows. thus giving
body to the column and emphasizing
the vertical outline OF the clitice.
whence a double advantage. This dis.
covery could never have been made on
paper. sPy ~
Then, MS the abacus of the capital
casts a shadow upon the top of the
column, the junction Of capital and col
umn becomes indistinct. To restore the
necessary effect the Greek cuts, several
deep lines ut the point of junction. and
to emphasize them he paints them In u
dark tone. Even the curve of the cir
cular torus carrying the abacus Is so
designed that the bright light, striking
upon the relief. shall fade into n shaded
half tint toward the hollow. Thus as
Violet lie Due truly says. the Grccl,
preserves even in appearance the forms
which his reason tells him to adopt as
being the best and most enduring.
