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. Harry Sterns

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

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.
