SCENIC BEAUTY.

Dr. Yaughan Cernish spoke on. scenic beauty in town and country, He said:

The beginning of the epoch of -steel-framed sky-scrapers has the inevitable disadvantage of rear- ing isolated blocks which cut the sky harshly. But as the type of building becomes more general thes blocks unite, in a long façade more imposing than any vertical plane in scenery except the cliff, which rises sheer. on the water of the ocean.

Hearing that lofty steel frame building has begun in Park Lane I went to see the effect. The new building dwarfs the irregular line of miscellaneous architecture; and by breaking a pattern blurs pleas ant memories into a view of which the pattern was a part.

But this drawblack was amply -compensated for by a new element of nobility-that all-imposing lofti- ness which was most felt when the new building was viewed through the bare boughs of the plane trees. The presence of a lofty façade gave what was wanted to complete an opulent impression of general amplitude.

I returned a few months later. and the satisfactory impression of the first visit was strengthened. Yet what is happening makes many people shudder and prompts gloomy comment on the cominer- cialisation of the age. (Continued on next Column).

When the pattern is complete Hyde Park will be glorified by lofty façade, as a spacious plain is more glorious if bounded by a range of mountains than a line of
