THE TRUE CAMPAMLE

New York.-The central idea in
American ecclesiastical architecture is
to build a steeple, rs towering as the
size and sustaining power of the base
and the purse OF the congregation
will permit. In few cases is it beau

In Italy the eye Of the traveller Is
constantly attracted and delighted by

large bells and the necessity Of find.

the origin of the campanile is really
unknown, but the earlier towers were

and defense, like the round towers OF
Ireland and the square stone towers
the remains Of which are still to be
seen in Corsica and elsewhere. 1t may
be noted in passing that this name is
usually applied only to those towers
which stand detached from the main
structure of the church.

celebrated Leaning Tower at Pisa,
