Age of Iconoclasm.

1t Is certainly unpleasant that in this
age so many cherished traditions are be-
ing destroyed. It seems probable that We
have long fed on tales which have no
substantial basis other than their ethical
events reported either out OF historical
perspective or as bald romances. But
what harm have they done? Is Shake
speare's version OF Antony's Grafton over
Caesar any the less valuable because it
never occurred? It seems likely that An
tony said nothing Of the sort. but the
fiction Of the bard Of Avon has given us
a. vital truth, since 1t foreshadows ex-
actly what did occur.
What care We that it was Pigment OF
the Imagination Of good old DIR. Weems
that Washington cut down the cherry
tree or discoursed with his father over
the cabbages? In essence these stories
are true. Washington did not lie at any
time and he believed that things evident
ly designed did not come by chance. That
is the moral Of these tales, as their manu-
facturer intended. and we should be 10th
to miss the many stories even if they are
false as to mere detail.
Last week there was unearthed a letter
which was by some curious Interpretation
construed to mean that Paul Revere never
made the famous ride which gave warn
ing to the people OF Lexington, Concord
and whereabouts. Really the letter is not
properly subject to such Interpretation.
and there seem few facts in history of
that time so we'll authenticated. But sup
pose, for the sake Of argument, that there
was no such ride; must we in the interest
Of historic truth suppress the narrative
as we'll as the poem. which every child
has learned? By no means. Even II the
tale were false (although 1t Is true) it has
a symbolical value which is the highest

THE LARGEST BAROMETER.
Liquid Column Stands Normally At
About Thirty-Seven Feet.


A huge Oil barometer has been con-
structed In the city Of Faenza. Italy, as
a monument to its distinguished citizen,
Torricelli, the inventor of the barometer,
the tercentenary of whose birth is cele-
brated this year. The liquid column in
such a barometer stands normally at
about thirty-seven feet, and its fuctua-
lions are read IN feet, where those OF
the ordinary mercury barometer are in
inches. This is due, Of course, TO the fact
that as oil is much lighter than mercury
it requires a much higher column 10
balance the pressure of the atmosphere.
1t was at first intended TO use water
as the liquid. in which case the column
would have stood normally at about
thioty-two feet; but this plan was aban-
doned, owing to the ease of evaporation.
Glycerin was next tried. but the normal
height of the column was only twenty
seven feet. and it was desirable to have
it much higher. Olive oil was finally
chosen and is quite satisfactory.
The tube, which is of iron, except at
the top where the height of the column
must be observed, is supported by a

has been constructed. although IL had

probably that set up in the tower OF

1890.
The olive oil barometer of Faenza will
continue to hold the record for size until
some one succeeds in using q still ligkker

AROUND THE CITY

A woman Of the empress type was stand

She didn't look up at the big clock and
make faces at 1t; or stop every porter
who came along to ask questions that he
couldn't possibly answer; or to say to
any other person who would listen that
she thought it was perfectly awful the
way the cars were run; or 1idget UP and
down and get in the way of last-minute
passengers rushing to make their trains.
She wasn't in the least like the ordinary
woman who waits at the Union station.
She simply stood rigidly tense, every line
of her face carved deep with anxiety,
every fold of her gown as motionless as
stone.

''Oh, mamma! It's awful. It's unbear-

The empress looked her anguish, but
waited for the crown princess to choke
