Nothing has been spared to make
the Palais des Thermes a truly spleA-

and wholesome water from the springs
Of Rungis, that is, about three leagues
from the center Of Paris. For the
longest part Of its course it was un-
derground, but 1t crossed the valley
Of Arcueil by a series Of high arches,
some foundations Of which time has
respected, admirably constructed and
finished like the walls of the hall Of
Thermes. DE Guilhermy.
N. B.-The Roman remains, always
known as Palnis des Thermes, in the
garden adjoining the Hotel de Cluny,
probably belong to buildings erected
A. u. 800, when Paris was Gallo
Roman town, by Constantius Chorus.
It has been sometimes affirmed that
Emperor Julian the Apostate was
proclaimed and resided here. but 1t is
far more probable that he lived on
the island In the Seine, and that these
buildings were simply those of mag
nificent baths. The most perfect part
Of the baths is great hall, decided to

Measure Your Figure.

A Brazilian art scholar claims to
have discovered how the old masters
of painting and. sculpture worked. He
has taken the pictures and shown, by
drawing lines and angles on them, how
the artists gave. their compositions
strictly mathematical foundations.
Ancient Egyptian artists had rule
Of proportions based on the length Of
the middle finger, the distance Of
which was contained 10 times in the
length of the whole body.
Greek artists adopted these proper
tions until it was established that the
face must be tenth part and the
hend an. eighth part of the total
height of the body. The face was di-
vided into three equal parts-from the
roots of the hair to the root of the
nose; from the root of the nose to its
point, and from the end of the nose
to the chin.
