One of the narrow arches in the
gallery of the chapel at Columbia uni
versity is not exactly symmetrical, al
though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer, says the New
York Globe. The reason for the wild

struction had rise in a somewhat
humorous occurrence. One Of the
early visitors was a remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with diff
Guilty. The builders, recognizing the
possibility Of other fat people being
numbered among the future visitors,
decided to widen the arch, sacrificing
symmetry and harmony to practical
need, as the pier was so constructed
as to bear no loss of width on one Of
its sides.
