If you turn a book upside down and look at the letters, every s will ser:i. much smaller at the bottom than at the top, although, when the book is properly held, both halves appear the same size to the e e. The upper part of the t pe that punts the letter s is made smaller than the lower halt to correct the fmlt "t tin' eye. which always slightly exaggerates the former. When the letter is turned over, this same trick of the sight makes the iliilereiice seem greater than if really is: and, of course, were it ot the same width all the way, it would still look uneven. In greater matters, the false re port of the eye is greater. Il a tapering monument, like that on Hunker Hill or like the Obelisk in f'ehtral Park, were made with per fect ly NtTAight tiidel, if would look to us for, you see, we really can not trust our own eyes- as if it were hollowed Hi a little; or. as we should say in more scientific language, its sides would appear concave. Those clever G reeks, who did so many marvelous things in art, thought all this out, and made their architecture upon principles so subtle and so eonprehensive that we have never been able to improve on them since. They found that their beautiful Doric columns, il made with straight sides, had the concave e fleet of which I have spoken; and so, with the most deli cate art :u the world, they made the pillar swell a little at the mid dle, and then r ipp'rrd exactly right. This .swelling of the column at its mn!'il was called entail. Of course it had to be calculated with the greatest nicety, and was act ually so ery slight that it can only be detected by delicate measure men;.: but it added greatly to the iH'iiuty of the columns and to their effectiveness. Then the "lines which were to look ' horizontal had to receive attention. If you look at a long, perfectly level line, as the edge of a roof, for in stance, it has the appearance of sagging toward the middle. The Greek architect corrected this fault by making his lines rise a little. The front of the Parthenon, at Athens, is one hundred and one leet after remarks by three and a half inches long. and. Leslie, the r.-p. in this, the use Irom the horizontal 'j J',r-'l '. is about two and one-eighth inches, jt1 lu other words, there is a curvature , un moti v. upward that makes it a little more after Benedi u : than two inches higher in the center o'clock. than at the ends, and the effect of this swelling upward is to makethe lines (ipjnnr perfectly level. Indeed this same Parthenon, the most beautiful building iu the world, when delicately and carefully meas ured was found to be everywhere made a little incorrect, so that it may apji-'ar right, which is certainly w hat may be called an architectural paradox. The graceful columns, which si cin to stillld so Straight, are made to lean inward a little, since, if they were perfectly true-and plumb, they would have the effect of l.-.n i i n cj outward. The pillars at the corners slant inward more than ; he others, and everywhere the cor ners are made to look square by be-liio- in truth a littie broader angled, and lines arc curved in order that they shall appear straight to the e e.
