RESTORING THE PARTHENON.—Photograph shows the re-erected eight columns of the north peristyle that were thrown down by an explosion in 1656. A number of the missing sections are being replaced with durable Pi raeus rock, this stone being covered with a layer of concrete. It has been found that this enables the structure to approximate to the weather-beaten appearance of the original columns.
