ROUEN. France, September IS, 1906.
The cathedral at Rouen is declared to be
the finest example in existence of pure
pointed Gothic architecture. Ruskin says:
1T is the high-water mark of Gothic trac-
cry Its architecture is frozen music" as
some fanatical person has said: we might
compare it to the Wagner tr:ology of opera
but another church in Rouen, called St.
Queens is even more beautiful, more deli
cate and graceful. and we might compare
that to Beethoven symphony.
Like every other great temple of wor-
ship in France, the founding of this Won
derful cathedral is attributed to Charlie
magne when he came here in the year 100
to celebrate Easter. No doubt he assisted
in its building. because he left it a legacy
IN his Will in gratitude for the patriotism
OF the townspeople who furnished him twen-
ty-eight ships to fight his enemies These
same ships were afterWard used with great
profit in commerce with ConStantinople
Smyrna. Alexandria and other ports of the
east. But nothing definite is known about
the designer, and 1t would be a great salts
faction if there were some authentic ac-
count of his life and education in archtec-
ture and descriptions of other buildings he
erected. because it could not be possible
that this was his only work. We now the
names of several men, most Of them abbes
or monks. who were engaged in it's con-
structton during the POO years before it was
finished, but nothing definite can be said
concerning the genius who made the plans
upon which they worked.
Nor is this the only beautiful Gothic tenn
pie whose designer is unknown There were
great architects in those days. and, while
it is not fair to say that architecture is
lost art. 1t is certainly true that such
piles have been raised within the last four

Ealliere's Auecdote

Among the numerous stories being

one relating to banquet at which he
presided. A piece of money dropped
from his pocket, and a neighbor said
he thought it was a two-franc piece.

and he whispered to that individual
to look out for the money. Later on
M. F'allieres was seen by his neighbor
to let a .two-franc piece slide down:
gently on to the floor. He explained
to his friend that he had found that
he kept only .coppers in the pocket
from which the piece supposed to be
two-franc had dropped, and so, in or
der not to disappoint the waiter, had
dropped on the floor what was really
a two-franc piece He thought he had
