ROBERT ADAM.
He Created New Era In English
ArchitActure

he Created New Era In Enoliat,
Architecture.
Robert Adam Q72S-92) was to Eng
lish architecture what Benvenuto Gel
lini was to that of Italy. He was ar
chitect to the king, beloved at court,
member Of parliament, and it was
said Of him that he 'tcould not help
adjoining all that he touched" Those
Of the English people who dwell In
Adam houses prize them as rare Jew
els.
Adam introduced into English ar
chitecture lightness, delicacy Of
touch and charm of proportion which
it had never before possessed and
which gave his name to that splendid
period of architecture the style of
which lasted over century. Every
thing in house, from the panel in a
ceiling to the vases and gilt wood tri-
pods and branches for lights, from
hangings at the windows to a WON
ans hairpin holder. Adam designed
himself.
Adam got his rich, beautiful and
distinctive style from the ruins Of the
Emperor Diocletian, at Spalato. AS a
finish to interiors he conceived the
idea Of using figures in relief upon
walls, colored and adorned according
to Raphaels Stanze painted fat upon
the walls of the Vatican. His idea
was as bold as it's result was beauti-
full. he also adopted Pompeiian styles
Of decoration
"Adam was artist as well as archi-
tect, and his walls, ceilings and inte-
rior adornments are marvels of har-
monious colors," says an architect.
''He employed no less personages than
Angelica Kaufman and Zucchi to paint
many of the panels and medallions let
into his ceilings, and it was his habit
to have carpets woven to match the
pattern overhead and harmonic with
the color there employed. The key.
note Of Adams style is movement,
combined with perfect artistic fitness
and it is peculiar for its grace and
stateliness. New York Tribune.

THE i PlLLORY.
An English Writer'S Reflections Upon
Public Punishment

!
Perhaps one of the few really demo-
cratic institutions ever created was the
pillory. do not say that it was a hui
name institution, though it was GER
tainly more humane than our system
of silent Imprisonment. But being hui
name has nothing to do with being
democratic. You may have humane
and inhumane democracies, just as
you may have humane and inhumane
despots.
The point is that the pillory was a
real appeal to the people. If it was
cruel it was because the people We're
cruel or perhaps justly indignant. The
people threw dead cats fhe less hu-
manitarian, I believe, threw live CATS,
but they could throw bouquets and
crowns Of laure! if they liked. Some
times they did. The argument about
the old public punishments cuts both
ways. The publicity was an additional
risk for the government as well as an
additional risk for the prisoner, and
this is specially true Of the executions
for treason. 1t was no small thing that
half a million men might possibly treat
as martyr man whom the king was
treating as murderer, that the prince
had to concede to every obscure ruff
fan exactly what that rufian probably
wanted mOst-fame.-G. X. Chesterton

QUITE F0GGY.

Hezekiah Torpyhue, filing his pipe and

that was fog, an no mistake! Why,

REDI's EXPERIMENT.
Out Of 1t Grew the Great Fabric Of tho
Germ Theory.

Out OF It Grew the Great Fabric Of tho
Germ Theory.
1t was fixed belief Of the ancients
that many living creatures could come
into existence in spontaneous fash
Ion, to which allusion has often been
made. The true beginning of the germ
theory arose out of a ludicrously sim
PIE observation made by Redi, Flor
entine physician, about the middle Of
the seventeenth century. He debated
with his confreres in Florence the
question of the origin of the maggots
appearing in decomposing meat. The
old view held, of course that the mag
gots were bred within dead and putre-
Tying substances. Redi, taking piece
OF meat, covered the mouth of the jar
In which it was contained with a piece
OF tine gauze. He beheld the flesh flies,
attracted by the smell of the decaying
meat, coming to deposit their eggs, aft
er the manner of their kind, in the de-
composing substance. The gauZe, how
ever, kept them from effecting this
natural object, with the result that the
eggs were laid on the surface Of the
gauze and the maggots there Matched
out, while the decay of the meat went
on uninterruptedly without a single
maggot appearing in its substance:
On this childishly simple experiment
the great fabric Of the germ theory Of
today was founded, for if the law Of
universal parentage applied to the case
of maggots and meat it was clear, ar
gued Redi, that it must apply univer-
sally. Subsequent experimentation
proved the words to be true, and so to-
day, when our attention is focused upon
germs or microbes so minute that we
might accommodate many hundreds of
thousands of them on the surface of a
postage stamp, we again come face to
face with Redfs first principle that
each germ could only have sprung
from preceding and parental organ
ism.-Brooklyn Eagle.

He Followed Directions.

Red tape leads one to curious
lengths. A writer in the Columbus
Dispatch tells of a street railway car
that picked up young heifer on its
fender and carried it some distance
through the street.
In making out the required report to
the superintendent the employee wrote
in answer to the query on the blank
form, "What did the victim say?"
''She was carried along on the fender
and then rolled off and ran away
without saying word"

Our LANGUAGES.

What a lot of languages we talk,
even if we talk only English! I was
assailed by man across the lunch
con table with a language about a
cup tie final and confessed that it was
quite unintelligible. Then another
man talked about golf, which is an
other language. And then the wo-
mans language elbows these columns.
"The Countess ~ wore a sea green
cloth skirt with bolero Of the same

black taffeta bow garnished her huge

example of women's slang. But to the
man it means nothing-but expense

with valises and boxes. I'd light in
side it three green wood fires. filling it
with a bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe.
FINALLY I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes of the black native to-
bacco, and I'd long miserably in that
hot, smoky atmosphere for the dawn.
despite all my precautions quite
200 or 800 mosquitoes would get in

It couldn't have been worse. Their
