MEAD & C RAWFORD The. Groteiqu. Form. Were Cut by Frampton, an Engli.hman. Perhaps few cathedrals nt home or abroad possess on their exterior so many curious grotesques as does Xotro hame, and scarcely any visi tor to l'aris loaves that fair city without being more or less impress ed by them. Probably the majority, if they have a thought at all upon the sub ject, put these down as part and parcel of the original fabric, which dates from 1163. But such is not really the case. The majority are comparatively modern and, curious ly enough, were not carved by French craftsmen at all, but by an Englishman named Frampton, a clever artificer who has long since gone to his rest. About the middle of the last cen tury a then well known London con tractor named George Myers obtain ed the commission to build a large mansion near Taris for a member of the Rothschild family. In its erection he employed on the spot a largo number of English workers, whom he sent from London for that purpose. Frampton was one of them. About the same time that prince of continental architects, the late Viollet le Due, was engaged on the r.cnovation of the exterior of Notre Dame. When the Rothschild work was completed the architect in ques tion, whoso attention had already been attracted by Frampton's skill, offered the latter a position among the cathedral staff then at work there. This perhaps was the more readi ly accepted, for during his sojourn in that country Frampton had taken to himself a French wife. Almost the first thing he did in the em ploy was to produce a new grotesque in place of a mutilated old gargoyle, and Viollet le Due was so pleased with the spirit thrown into it that he kept Frampton upon that par ticular kind of work.

What kind of a winter are we going to have? Some prophesy a cold win ter and others think this snow a sign of a mild winter. This question seems to be the argument now days. On Deoember 1, at the hall a series of short plavs was given, games in dulged in until the passing of the old year and then all welcomed the New Year. Here's wishing all a Prosper ous and Happy New Year. The Christmas exercises at both churches were very good and greatly appreciated by everyone present. Old Santa at the Methodist church greeted the children kindly and promised to see them all again next year.

There is good iva.-on to believe that tho magnifying power of trans parent media with convex surfaces was verv early known. A convex lens of rock crystal was found by Layard among the ruins of the pal ace of Nimr.ud. And it is pretty certain that after the invention of glass hollow spheres blown of that material were commonly used as magnifiers. The perfection of gem cutting shown in ancient gems, especially in those of very minute size, could not have been attained without the use of such aids to the eye, and there can be little doubt that the artificers who could execute those wonderful works could ulso shape and polish the magnifiers best suited for their own or others' use.
