It is a startling fact that almost every custom of the ancients, whether exqui- sitely beautiful and Inspiring or brutally horrible and debasing, finds counterpart or anniogy in some custom of this time. Does history repeat itself? Or is it nearer the truth to say that every gen- eration has to pass through the same experiences, differing merely in name ot Is mankind building a outward form? Legends Worldwide. Legends and stories on the subject take the student all over the world. The trav- eller who knows his Europe hardly need be reminded of the story associated with the building of the lt;amous Cologne Ca- thedral, and the pact which the architect made with the devil by which the archi- tect sold himself to the devil for the plan. As a result, so the story says, the archi- tect forfelted his life while the building was In progress of construction. A much more plausible explanation of the story, In view of the facts of foundation sacri- fices, is that the architect voluntarlly gave himself as a human sacrifice to in- sure stability to the enormous edifice and thus preserve his own fame. His body lies buried under the choir. A Scotch legend tells that St. Columba Jeould not build a cathedral on Tena Inland Juntit te bad made the foundations firm by sagrificing a young man in them.
