AN ARCHITECTURAL MARVEL St. Sophia and Ita Wondtrful Dome That la Said to Bo Doomed. Tbe world would mourn were the great dome of St. Sophia to fall. There are persisteut reports that the struc ture 13 in danger, that the masonry Is rotten and crumbling and that tbe i final doom of tbe edifice is not far off. When ft is remembered that St So phia was built in the sixth century, that it has for more than thirteen cen turies withstood the vicissitudes of fires, earthquakes, sackings and bom bardments, rain and wind, beat and cold, tbe marvel Is that it has endured bo long. Having stood through all these ages, there will be the keenest regret if it finally yields to the destruc tive forces of nature. St. Sophia is often spoken of as the grandest monument of Christian archi tecture. It is the perfection of the Byzantine style, differing from the ear ly Romanesque and late renaissance of western Europe and the beautiful Gothic which must be considered the ideal of ecclesiastical architecture. It may not be as impressive as other great editlees built from five to ten centuries later, but its strength, solid ity and grandeur, together with its great a lutiquity, give it a place unique amoug churches. Tlie i collapse of St. Sophia’s dome would be I a greater loss than was the fall of the I Venetian campanile, and its reconstruction would be utterly impos sible. Tbe problems of Its building were so intricate and complex that the secret of them died with the architect Antbeuius tn tbe sixth century. It has been said that St. Sophia, “like Kar nak, in Egypt, or the Athenian Parthe non. is one of the four great pinnacles of architecture; but, unlike them, it is no ruin, nor does it belong to a past world of constructive ideas, although it precedes by 700 years the fourth culmination of the building art in Chartres, Amiens or Bourges and thus must ever staud as the supreme monu ment of the Christian cycle.”—Cleve laud Plain Dealer. treaties ever were negotiated In v interesting and ludicrous clrcum- than those that attended the made in 1899 between General r- and the sultan of Moro.

A Scottish parson whose parish was remote from great cities was Invited to a bouse party at a certain castle, and after much persuasion from his family and friends accepted. Mrs. Walford in "Memories of Victorian London ' says that the elderly clergy man had never before been Inside a large country house and was not at all familiar with tbe customs io vogue. He arrived about 5 o’clock and found the men just returned from shooting and the ladies from driving, all being at tea In the hall. It seemed nice and sociable on a chilly November afternoon, and. de lighted to find such simplicity prevail ing where he had not looked for It, he partook heartily of cake, sandwiches and so forth. At a little before 7 o’clock some neighbors, who were merely calling, took themselves off. and the rest of the company broke up and went up stairs with bedroom candles In their hands. “Weil, this Is better still." thought my humble friend, and he rehearsed to himself the phrases he would use to describe the situation afterward. He would emphatically repudiate the no tion that the “aristocracy” kept lute hours and were too much addicted to conviviality. He beard himself say ing: “Late hours, indeed? I haven't been to bed so early since I was a boy.” He judged that he had been asleep some time when the sound of a gong reverberating through the passages made him start up In bed. What was the meaning of It? What terrible thing had happened? Could the house be on fire? Finding the back stnlrs close by, down be rushed to the housekeeper's room nnd electrified the good woman by demanding breathlessly: “What is it? What's the matter?" “Lor', sir. nothing ain't the matter.” said she reprovingly, "except that you’ll be late to dinner. The second gong sounded five minutes ago. and you're not half dressed 1” Such speed did he make, however, on being thus enlightened tliat he ac tually got into his evening clothes and wns In the drawing room before half the other guests appeared. "But," said he, “I never had the chance of delivering the speech I bad so care fully prepared exculpating great folks from the charge of evil ways.” Tillamook Title and Abstract Company A* Thrilling Behind the Scene» a» For the Audience In Front. The opera is “Tosca.” You sit breath less in your seat In the last act waiting for the climax, when Tosca shall find Cavaradossi not shamming, but dead by the trickery of tbe slain Searpin, and shall run and leap over the para pet to be dashed to pieces far below. Tbe captain and bls guards look over the edge, aghast at the sight. You rise from your seat thrilled. Now go behind the scenes and watch Tosca leap. Nearly every one who can leave |tls post does go back stage, left, for this climax, which is as exciting in the reality as it is in the pretense for those who sit on the other side of tbe footlights. Before tbe curtain went up a stage hand had dragged across and thrown down just beneath the par apet a mattress some twelve Inches thick and the size of an ordinary bed. Tbe opera moves swiftly. The soldiers fire the volley, and Cavaradossi falls. Tosca, learning tbe truth, rushes to the parapet, looks backward toward tbe audience, stands magnificently de fiant and leaps It Is a good three feet in the vertical to the mattress. Do not think that the prima donna, however plump she may be. strives to save or catcb herself. That leap is too great an opportunity for histrionic realism to lose one little part of Its effect She lands plump at full length, fairly taking the breath out of her. while the back stage watch ers get the real gasp. It is perhaps half a minute before she recovers her self. Then she gathers herself togeth er. all businesslike again, and hurries through tbe press of stage hands, cho rus, supes, principáis, down front stage to receive the curtain call«.—New York Post Paptr Money.
