Reautx,s Rarefaced Pomp.

1T is healthy human impulse to
defy the influence of Gree. And
there is, indeed, barefaced pomp
of beauty-beauty that cannot enter
a room without giving the whole house
a shock; beauty that, as Mr.. Kipling
vigorously says, hits you right be-
tween the eyes and knocks you fiat
of which the mere existence carries
a challenge to stand up against that
avalanche. do well remember GER
tain opening night when Miss Maxine
Elliott sat throned in stage box. and
the emotions of the whole audience
beat and broke upon that imperturb-
able statue, icily regular. splendidly
null. About that beauty the shivering
mortal mind fluttered in hope of some
reassuring Flemish, slipped along the
glacier without finding a crack, and,
blinded by excessive light, fell away,
baffled. 1t was natural to revolt
against that."-The Century.

Church Now 800 Years Old.
1t is now exactly 500 years ago since
the building of st. Marks was COM
pleted; its ecclesiastical sanctity is
bestowed en- it by the relics of the
great evangelist; its historical sane
tity consists in it's intimate connection
with the fortunes of the city and Of
her rulers. 1t was the theater of their
triumphs and the refuge for their
cares; all that she has achieved and
suffered Venice has done under the
protecting wing of st. Marks.
The Church of st. Mark contains
trophies from all parts of the world;
every stone has a history. Those two
great pillars at the entrance to the
baptistry were part of the booty Of
Acre. The bronze folding doors were

OLD AND CURIOUS CLOCKS
Marvels of Workmanship We're Some
of Those Products in the Gen.
turtles Gone BY.

While the clockmakers of today
possess skill and ingenuity in the
highest degree, the clockmakers Of
other days showed no small ability in
their line, since the product of their
ltbors was frequently not only OF the
most complicated sort, but Of such ex-
cellent workmanship that 1t seems to
have been made for all time.
In this relation there may be men
toned a clock at Castletown, In the
Isle of Man, that was telling the hour
before Oliver Cromwell was born, and
there Is clock still marking time at
Castle Rushen which Queen Elizabeth
herself presented to the lord of that
castle more than 300 years ago.
There are other clocks of even more
ancient date. At Schramberg, in the
Black forest, there Is to be seen an
is still In good working condition. In
form 1t resembles n lantern wherein
is lighted candle, the wick being au-
tomatically clipped every minute by a
pair of scissors. The candle Is slowly
pushed upward by spring, which also
controls the mechanism of the clock,
and at the required hour of waking an
alarm Is sounded, and at the same
time the movable sides of the lantern
fall and the room is flooded with light.
Not SO long ago the French govern
ment acquired from a private collec.
ton an extraordinary alarm clock that
once belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte.
This not only indicates the time Of
day, but the day, the month, the year,
the mean solar time, the phases of the
moon, and, In addition, the quarter
hours. It's attachments include a
thermometer.
One of the most curious of clocks
was that made by poor man of MI
Ian. 1t was constructed of bread. Ev-
cry day the maker set apart some
portion of his daily bread, which, by
q process of which he would not di-
vulge the secret, he was able to rem
der as hard as metal. From these
fragments of bread he thus construc-
ted his clock, which Is said to be an
excellent one, keeping good time.
A man named lie Roulatt, living at
Limoges, France, is recorded as be-
ing able to make clocks from any
material, no matter how unsuitable
it may have seemed. One clock he
fashioned entirely from old newspa-
pers converted into pulp; another
from large and small sticks held to-
gether by wire; a third from dis
carded tobacco cans and SO on. Some
of LIE Roulatt's clocks are said to have
been models of workmanship.

Bottomley drew attention to curious

People generally, he added, did not
realize the wealth of knowledge that
was at their disposal. One had only
to take chair and sit under a tree

What St. Marks is as the express
sion of the religious spirit, that the
ducal palace is for the secular power
of Venice; it has scarcely a rival,
even in Italy. The doge's palace, as
it now stands before us, was begun in
the fourteenth century and completed
in the fifteenth after a long interrupt

Gil of ten, Consiglio de- Dieci. That

The complete truth about Venice
cannot be learned in the lofty ducal
palace, where the ceilings are full of
gold and where art, free and untram-
meled, created her masterpieces. We

NV HERE are numerous things of
d priceless value to the world
81 upon the threatened frontiers
III of the warning countries, and
among the richest of these
treasures is Venice, the dream of gen.
erations of tourists, of students of art
and history and of lovers of romance
and beauty. Few cities in the world
receive veneration from more widely
scattered sources, and few stir so
many pleasant anticipations on the
eve of first visit to them. This year,
however, the city will be deserted by
its visitors. Venice, honeymoon OBJ
jective and the tourists earliest
across-sea aspiration, has become an
objective for Austrian air fleets and
battleships. Something of the charm
of this city of world-pilgrimage is told
by one of its most noted friends, Karl
Stieler, whose picture of the Queen
of the Adriatic forms the basis of
bulletin issued by the National Geo.
graphic society: He writes:
Before the Campanile we realize for
the first time the widespread power of
Venice, that fairy city which sprang
not from the earth, but the sea; still
touched with the glamour of the East,
and yet mistress Of western culture
so rich in arts and arms, in loves
and hatreds! Venice Is sphinx
whose enigma we never wholly pene-
trate. In vain we strive to find an
image that shall express her mysteri-
Gus essence. The unique brooks no
comparison.
Center Of Life and Movement.
AS in the old times, even so today,
the center of life and movement is the
piazza of St. Marks, although 1t offers
but a pale shadow of the life of for
mer days. Here ON sunny mornings
all the foreigners assemble; here
lounge the ciceroni, and on the neigh
boring piazetta the gondoliers. timer
ant vendors of all kinds push their
way among the chairs that are set out
In front of the cafes under the open
arcade.
But the most brilliant spectacle is
at night, when hundreds of gas jets
are alight in the huge bronze candle
labra, when the gold sparkles in the
jewelers. windows and the sound of
gay music is borne across the piazza.
Then the crowd gathers from all sides.
