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.

Changed Hi* Mind About th« Cua-
tom* of th* Fine Folk».
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.”

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
