plinth Of one temple two hundred

that the line Of architecture
curved fully ten inches upward
in the center, yet the effect was
that Of an absolutely perfect
straight line. He had diagrams
prepared which showed that ab-
solutely parallel lines were ap-
parently distorted outof all shape
by curves and slanting lines
drawn near them. He showed
further that in the pisza Of St.
Marks at Rome the builders had
made the open space appear de-
cidedly greater than It really
was by carefully distorting the
lines OF perspective. All Of
which goes to show that the an

when the keys were touched, uttered
