The value of water and. open apacea from the points ot view of picturesqueness and of tho concentration of civic patriotism and pride will be illustrated in Mr. S. Hurst Seager's lecture on the 'Town-Planuinpt of the Ancients" next Saturday. The \iew» of the canals of Venice and of the Piazttitta from the sea, of ft Bnißce canal and of Indian temples allow how water enhances the beauty of artistic buildings. The Piaiza of Venice with St. Mark's (happily so far preserved from Austrian frlghtfulnces) and tho Campanile, the Piazza of fit. Peter's at Vomo with Hβ fino colonnades, tli'e "places" of Florence with tho Town Hall, the symbol of civic vitality and prido. and the cathedral with Giotto's celebrated bell tower, the opeii space in front of lieime Cathedral, where stood the statim of Joan of Arc, and the restorations of ■the Forum of Home and: of'tho Acropolis .of Athens will hear eloquent witness to the impres-' sion that must have been created on tho citizens by the grouping of mnjesilp buildings no inlim n tely associated with the life, both secular and relircious. of the community, and to the opportunity given for effective outdoor manifestations of civic patriotism in suitable environment.
