HOW CATHEDRALS ARE BUILT. New Conditions and Purposes to be Met by the Proposed Monument. From the .Veto York Herald. Bishop Potter's recent letter proposing a Protestant cathedral that shall cost £ 10,000,- 000 stands out unique among all the ca thedral building projects that have euriehed and glorified the world. It is evident that before the announcement the scheme was far advanced. In view of the farts the story is probably true to w hich the Church Hum gave publicity concerning the late Miss Wolfe’s intention to give $1,000,000 toward an Episcopal cathedral and the failure of her dying had to respond to this intention. Bishop Potter hardly would have hazarded a project that concerns not only his own church, but the city. State and nation, without some definite' chances of success befoie him. The immediate and liberal responses of Mr. D. Willis James and Mr. Henry Marquand confirms this opinion. Cathedrals in every age have been the most legible records left to us of the times in which they were reared. That the pro posed new cathedral will represent our times as clearly there is little doubt since revelations of this sort are unconscious. The broad distinction tietwocn ourselves and the past the proposition and those to whom it appeals. In the age which gave birth to cathedrals a cathedral meant a church built by and for the people, as dis tinct from churches springing more directly out of the great ecclesiastical organization. It was always born out ol' some great popu lar movement, either of religion, affection, gratitude or local pride. It "implied the re lation of the church to the masses. In those days the church wns the great and only protector of the poor. It stood, a wall of defense, between serf and noble. It was the refuge in times of trouble. It was re membered with gifts iu times of joy. THE CHURCH SOW WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE. The relation of the church to civilization is now entirely changed. Not that it holds a loss place. On the contrary, its work is greater, more enduring. Cathedrals sprang from the people. The people worked for the church. The church now works for the people. Its tendency is not to unite in one, but to throw off spurs that shall form centres of righteousness aud civilization in dark places. So manifest and well recog nized is this tendency that it is the common remark that the age of cathedrals is past. The religious element that once took form in the cathedral now belongs to the parish church. It is not Notre Dame, but Saint Roch that attracts the fashion of Paris, it is not St Paul, but St. George, Hanover ■square, that draws the elite of London. What is true of these classes is true of all other classes. Tbeir religious homes are elsewhere. The proposition to build a cathedral in this city, then, must appeal on another side and to another class, and must be built un der different conditions. The Roman Catholic organization necessi tates cathedrals. But no one can compare the building of the cathedral on Fifth ave nue to the building of the cathedrals of the Middle Ages, or see any parallel in either tho building or the place trie cathedral occupies. In the first place, there is the mere matter of a site. The new cathedral will probably be built in some part of the island that will relate ruther to the future of this city than toitspresent limits. Theavailable locations certainly lack tho hallowod association of a martyr's blood or of the rallying place of persecuted Christians crowned at last in triumph by a majestic cathedral. But this again is one of the signs of the new era. We have no marty rs. ASSTHETICIBM RATHER THAN SPIRITUALITY. The inspiring motive for a cathedral must be found in some new direction. One has been put forth. It should be a common pro test against the materialism of the age. But against this it is urged that the ten dency of religious expression, even among those churches that are the outgrowth of Puritanism, is toward outward observances, and such a tendency is in its essence ma terial rather than spiritual. A cathedral, with its lofty vaults, recessed aisles, myste rious lights, the gorgeous pageant of its service and echoing har monies in this day tends toward aestheticism rather than spirituality, and aestheticism prtains peculiarly to the gratification of the senses. This makes such a project ap jieal directly and with great foree to men of wealth, accustomed to luxurious surround ings, and to natrons of the arts. From such Bishop Potter will find instant re sponse. But it is advisable to make appeal more widely. It is impossible to make it a popu lar movement and to carry it on in that fervor of enthusiasm which built the cathe drals of the past. But it is possible to make it a comparatively widespread movement. This is bv rearing a building that will be to the country in general not so much a cathe dral, but what Westminster Abbey is to England, a great national monument, in which the good and great of the land may lie buried. To be satisfied that some such powerful motive is required it is only necessary to look for a moment at the great sacred edi fices of the world and see how they were conceived mid in what spirit they wore car vied forth. Ten millions of dollars is a vast sum. It would build twenty such radiating missions as Old Trinity has set up in differ ent. parts of the town in order to carry on her church and civilizing work among the poor. ST. MARK’S RESTING PLACE. Bt. Mark whs the patron saint of Venice. Cast upon the isle where the early city stood, so the legend goes, au angel appeared and warned rum that there should bis final rest ing place be. When tho young city began to stretch her vigorous arms out, it was de termined to bring back the body of St. Mark, then buried at Alexandria, and to build a cathedral which should be his tomb. The rescue of the body was achieved t hrough strategy, and its story shines in one of the glorious mosaics of the church. The edifice was begun iu 906, and was dedicated in Iff. 14. In the twelfth century it approached com pletion. Its ground plan is a Greek cross, with the eastern arm raised, to give place to a crypt, where the body of 81. Mark was placed. No church of Europe appeals to the imagination, nor can anyone who has ever read it forget the im passioned description of Ht. Mark by Mr. Ruskin. The interior is a vast treasure house. The wealth of the East was ravished to enrich it. There are 500 marble pillars from Constantinople; the floor advances and recedes in billows of mosaic. The ex terior was of bi iek and is overlaid with murble. No people have so transformed architecture through color. Above the [ku - tals are the bronze horses ravished from < onstantinople, taken there from Rome, and the envy of Napoleon 1., who liore them to Baris, from whence they were restored. The architecture is neither Byzantine nor Romanesque, but it is fused into a glorious form of its own out of each. Thus far 500 years San Marco grew. The Campanile sprung into being and the winged lion mounted its pedestal,all record ing uot only Venice's pride and glory, but her decadence. , WHAT GIOTTO BUILT. The Puomo of Florence, St. Mary of the Lily, waa begun in 1295 on the site of the "arly Christian church of the Riparnfca. Like that of Venice It sprung from the heart of a vigorous young republic. A poll tax "as paired upon the people, unit no design was to I*- accepted “except it correspond to the heart of greatest nature, the citizens be ing eoncoi-ilant.” Tho edict wan issnod by ’ihe four consuls, chosen from tho guilds of commerce, in winch was allowed no cava lier. In 1381 the matter was placed in tho hands of the “Art of Wool,” one of tiic chief guilds, and Giotto was mado “mastero" the works." Giotto's bell tower and Brunelleschi'a dome are the glories of the catlio Irak The struc ture is Tuscan Gothie. The exterior was designed to be overlaid with marbles. This was partly completed in Oiotto’s tune, 1331. Victor ICaunauuel laid the fouirlatiou of the facade in 18U0 and it was finished in lt®*4, after 500 years. Bnitielluochi'x dome i* m aebiavemont greater even than that of Michad Angelo, since it was only by patient study of the ruins of Rome that he wrested the secrets from the pagans who spanned the Pantheon. The dome of the Pantheon is 148 feet, that of St Sophia 104 feet, St. Peter's 110 feet and St. Paul ISS feet. MICHAEL ANGELO'S MASTERPIECE. St. Peter's at Rome is briefly described as tho dome of the Pantheon set upon the baths of the Caracolla, so great is its mass. Yet its form is the most simple of all the great cathedrals. It consists of a body and a dome. Tho transepts are merely a swell. The roof is fiat. There is but one gable and that the pediment of the portico. Nothing could be more opposed to the Gothic iuflu euce which dominated Western and North ern Europe. The perfection of its propor tion is realized in the difficulty of acquiring a sense of its massiveness. Unlike other cathedrals, St. Peter’s is finished within. It is a great body lined, a lining as distinct as its interior—a lining of precious marbles, rich mosaics, magnificent sculptures, world famed paintings. The greatest, it is also the oldest of cathe drals—old iu the sense of continuity. It stands on the site of an oratory built in A. D. 90, to commemorate the spot where St. Peter suffered martyrdom in the circus of Nero. In 300 Constantine built hero a basilica In 1450 this was enlarged In 1500 Pope Julius 11. undertook tho present work, am) Michael Angelo succedeod to a train of architects. It was ho who returned to the form of the Greek cross, raised the Punthecn in the air and designed the Corin thian facade. The diameter of the dome is 3 feet less than that of the Pantheon, and consists of two domes, between which the ascent to the balustrade is made, Here an idea of the immense mass is gained, as the roof spreads out below, on which is built a small village. CATHEPRALS OF FRANCE. Notre Dame of Paris marks an epoch be tween the Romanesque cathedral of Ipires and the dewrated Gothic of the Cathedral of Coiogue. It was begun in the twelfth century on the island in the Boine where stood tho Lutitia of the Romans. It is one oi the most perfect Gothic structures of Europe, but its architecture is no more im pressive than its temporal history through fire and flood. It ts a singular circumstance that through these its three beautiful rose windows of stained glass alone remains from foundation. The most beautiful part of Notre Dame is the western facade, with its three portals. Here the receding arches are filled with sculptures and grotes querie as interesting as a hook of mediasval legends. Khe.ms is the birthplace of Catholicism in France. Hero Clovis was baptized in the third century by St. Fabian, sent as a mis sionary to the Gauls. It ft also the cathe dral of French monarchy. Here Charles \ 11. was crowned with Jeanne d’Arc by his side, and here, with the exception of Henrv 11., Napoleon 1.. Louis XVIII., Louis Phil lippe, aud Napoleon 111., all the kings of Fiance since 1173 have been crowned. To this end were gathered here all the precious vessels and stuffs of the kingdom, of w hich alone remains he Goblet of St. Reme. Rheims is one of the most beautiful exam ples of early Gothic. It is rich with orna mentation, but its majestic vaults, vast nave and splendid windows are dignified and full of grandeur. The western entrance is a marvel of beauty with its sculptured lace, slender needles and statues of prophets and saints. The Rouen cathedral is a monument of the magnificent Gothic of the thirteenth century, when its principal portions were built. The elaborate facade belongs to the sixteenth century. The two towers are of different and the taller, the Tour de Beurre, is so called because it was built from indulgencies to eat butter in Lent. STRASBOURG AND COLOGNE. Notre Dome, of Strasbourg, in its spire is said to dispute with the pyramid of Cheops. The general form of the cathedral, in con nection with the spire, is pyramidal. But, all elegance and grace, the pyramid pierces the sky. The nave of Amiens, the choir of Beauvais, the western entrance of Rheims aud the spires of Chartres and Strasbourg would combine into a perfect cathedral. The nave of Strasbourg is barren and non-impressive. But its windows are marvels of the beauty of form and color of thirteenth century glass. The site is said to have been that of an ancient temple con secrated to Hercules. Here since the fourth century the altarsof Christian worship have been raised. In 1015 the present building was begun. The architect was Erwin, and it was Sabina, his daughter, who enriched the poi-tals with her sculptures and carved the statues of the wonderful "Pillar of the Angels.” The cathedral of Colonge is one of the several homes of the bones of the three Magi, which St. Helena brought back from Jerusalem. The present building was begun in 1241. It was finished in 1880. The archi tect, according to the popular legend, sold himself to the devil, who in turn furnished him his ability to design the great work. In spirit the cathedral at Cologne is the out come of the French Gothic. Its flying but tresses, its pinnacles ami needles were born in France, out in Germany and here they received their apotheosis. The Milan cathedral is the largest Gothic structure in Europe, but in height it lacks the majesty of Cologne. It was begun In 1386 and was nearly finished in the fifteenth century. Renewed impetus was given in 1805 by Napoleon I. It consists ot a nave and double aisles, with transept. The cu riosity of the cathedral is its roof, with its numerous turrets, and the 4,500 statues that adorn its exterior, four of which are by Catiova. In the interior is the remarkable statue of Bt. Bartholomew, as flayed alive, which would do honor to this age of real ism. The general effect of the cathedral is bewildering, from its multitude of pinna cles. It lacks, however, the charm of form and proportion. The cathedrals of Spain are French rather than Spanish Seville, however, which is, next to St. Peter’s, the largest cathedral in Euro]*, shows Moorish influence in the horseshoe arches of the portal-'. “Let us build a church so vast that those who see it will account us fools.” This was in 1401. The site was that of an old mosque, and by building here Christianity celebrated its triumph. The interior is Gothic, with its tine aisle nave carried so high that tho large pillars seem slender. glories op England. < The cathedrals of England retain the tra ditions of their origin. These are only less interesting than their architecture. Ht Paul's stands on the site of the ancient church built by King Ethelbert. The pres ent cathedral was undertaken by Christo phrr Wren after the grout fire in Condon in lOoi In 1710 the last stone was laid on the top of the lantern, it is remarked of St. Paul's that it contains r.o detail worth ob serving. But the impression of tho w hole is dignified and very fine. In its totnl* it rivals Westminster Abbey; but for the greater part they are in bad taste. I)r. Johnson and Howard, hair naked, like ath letes, are supposed by tourists to bo St. Pe ter and St. Paul. St. Paul's cost £744,954 eg. M. Paid by a tax on every chaldron of coal brought into port. Canterbury Cathedral is the earliest mon ument of the union of church and state. It stands on the site of the church bestowed on St Augustine by Kthelbert, Tho church was restored by Canute and rebuilt by ban frane after the Conquest, and his successor built “Conrad's glorious choir. ' Here in 1170 Tlioinns Berket was murdered. Tho crypt is Norman and remarkably fine. York Minster was established by h-rtwin, first Christian King of Northumbria, who was baptized Muster, *WV. The cathedral has suffeml greatly in all times. In HM it was robuilt and finished In 1472. Ik is par ticularly rich in old stained glass. “THE GOODLIEST MONUMENT IN THE KING POM.” • Peterborough Cathedral was originally a Benedictine abbey, hut its present lofty beauty is consecrated to (Jueeu Kath erine of Aragon, who lies buried there, of whom her spou.-c, Heury VIII.. said, Hue shall have the goodliest, monument in the kingdom.” It-" facade is of the purest early Ungli*b, und the portals are under lofty and THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1887. imposing arches. The nave is Norman and it stiff retains the Norman roof. Durham Cathedral Is the monument of St. Cuthbert, with whose body tho Bishop fled from the Danas in 875. The present cathedral was built by those great masons and builders, the Normans. It was begun in 1093, and finished in 1180. The position of the cathedra!, on the banks of the Wear, is magnificent. The eastern transept, called the "Nine Altars.” is a perfect specimen of thirteenth century English. Lincoln Cathedral was first built by Remigius, the first Norman bishop, in 1078. Iff; growth continued until 1450. The “Galilee” porch and the angel choir date from 1383. In the central tower hangs Great Tom of Lincolu, cast iu 1610 aud weighing 11,096 lbs. Ely cathedral was a monastery founded by Ethelberta. The present cathedral was built after the conquest, between 1083 and 1349. It records ail periods of Gothic archi tecture and contains some of the best decorated work in England. It is the longest Gothic church in Europe and has the only Gothic dome. A SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE. The great beauty of Winchester cathedral is in its interior. It is called a school of architecture, showing the progress of the pointed style. Litchfield Cathedral dates from the eleventh century and is built on the site of the martyrdom of St. Amnhibalns by Dio clesian. It is a magnificent example of decorate! work with a beautiful central spire. Salisbury is one of the noblest of English cathedrals. It was lx'gtin in 1220 and finished, with the exception of the spire, in fifty years. It is said, in its perfect uni formity, to be to English architecture what the Parthenon was to the Greek. The spire, built a century later, is the highest in England. Gloucester Cathedral was a nunnery in 681. The present cathedral was begun by Canute, hut it owes its richness to the gifts of the pilgrims to the shrine of Edward IT., which the church encloses. The tower is unsurpassed and the great east window rivals that of York Minster. Carlisle Cathedral belongs to the thir teenth century. It nave is Norman, but the flamboyant style distinguishes the structure. The matchless tracery of the cast window gives it the reputation of being the most beautiful window in- the w orld. AMERICAN CATHEDRALS. In our own country there is the Cathedral of Quebec, founded by Bishop Laval in 1666, and raised to the rank of a basilica by Pius IX. It was destroyed by Wolf's batteries in 1759. The interior is heavy, but not unpleasing. Most of the paintings were bought in France in 1193, when churches and convents had been pillaged. Here are buried Bishops Laval and Plessls. and Cham plain, the heroic founder, explorer and first Governor of Quebec. The Montreal Cathedral of Bt. Peter is now- building. It is 300 feet long. 225 feet wide, with a dome 250 feet high. There are to be surrounding this four smaller domes. The portico is to resemble that of Bt. Peter's at Rome, surmounted by colossal statues of the Apostles The vestibule is 300 feet lone. There will be twenty minor chapels. The exterior walls are massive, rough and very plain. The design is by Bishop Bourget. The architects wont to Rome and studied the Vatican Basilica before the work was begun. THE BIGNESS OF THEM.

While Christina M'lvor, a middle aged woman belonging to the parish of Loch broom, was on her way to Kinloehewe a few days ago, she accidentally stumbled and fell over one of the many precipices that skirt the margin of Loch Maree. A tree growing from a cleft in the rock miracu lously interested her fall and prevented her plunging into the deep waters beneath. To this tree the woman clung with the grip of despair until she had partially recovered from the stunning effects of her dreadful fall. Beneath her was a sheer rock washed by the dark waters of the lake; above a rock impossible to climb; and to add to the misery of the poor woman’s situation, she became painfully sensible of the fact that her right leg was broken below the knee. The place was miles away from the near est house. 111 this painful extremity she noticed a protecting ledge close by the tree, and by efforts which can Ik) more easily imagined than described she managed to crawl or drag bei-self to this place ot com parative safety. The pain in the fractured limb, intensified by her efforts, was fright ful, and she lay quite exhausted and ox jKXied to the elements, having lost her .shawl 111 the fall. 111 this perilous and exposed condition she remained from the Saturday until tho following Monday afternoon— three days aud two nights—without food or shelter of any kind, slaking her feverish thirst by water which trickled from the rocks overhead, and which she caught in her boots. On Monday she noticed a boat passing, and using her little remaining strength, she managed to attract the attention of its occu pants to her dangerous position. By skil ful manoeuvring on the part of the fisher men. the ioor woman was lowered into the boat, taken to Poolewe, and thence sent to U 1 In pool, where she now lies under the care of the parish doctor.
