THE PARTHENON, ATHENS, GREECE Earth proudly wears the Parthenon As the beet gem upon her zone. A matchless edifice eren in its ruins! Unequnled through-out the centuries for its simple beauty and exquisite proportions, the Parthenon sfands, mutely symbolic of the glory of Athens and the ancient Greeks. Situated on the highest poin' of the Acrop- olis, this ruin is studied to-day by artists and ar- chitects with loving, professional care. The temple stood comparatively unchanged in its unrivaled beauty, until two centuries ago, but in 1670, during a bombardment of the city, a shell ex- ploded in this shrine, where had been rashly stored a quantity of powder, and ins'antly with one wild roar, as if Nature herself were shrieking at the sacrilege. the Parthenon was ruined! Columns on either side were blown to atoms, severing the front of The temple from the rear, and covering the whole plateau with marble fragments-mute witnesses of countless forms of beauty, forever lost. Happily, however, enough of the Parthenon remains to show the liferal perfection of its masonry, with curves so delicate as to be hardly perceptible' to the eye, yet true to the one one-thousandth part of an inch, and showing alike the s lendid genius of the architects and the wonderful sliill of the workmen.
