DIE GRASSHOPPER ON TUB ROYAL EXCHANGE
AND THE TiruNDER-STORM.--ThiS curious relic of past
times, which has not only an antiquarian interest but is
associated in the popular mind with civic munificence, ap-
pears to have been
thunder-storm of Saturday morning, for a vivid flash of
placed in considerable peril during the
lightning was observed to hover around the vane,
a moment was involved in which for
an intense blaze. The atmo-
sphere at that time was 0 highly
element that the telegraphic
wires which pass thrOUgh the
air east of the Exchange he charged with the electric
a de-
-came luminous in so high
gree as to dazzle the eyes of those who had their attention
directed to them, and, indeed, to produce a momentary
blindness. The grasshopper was the crest of Sir Thomas
Gresham, the munificent founder of the first Exchange,
w
and with that fondness for associations and emblems l h
distinguished the period in which he lived
vane the eminent
merchant adopted his owa crest for
the of
ff
the
,the
edifice which 'he erected and dedicated to the use
citizens of London. By many it is believed that tehe
peivtlenrtsf
and after
. preo-
sent grasshoper is the same which adorned the s
the original structure ; but, if not, it is at all
the identical emblem which has surmounted the
subsequent towers namely, that erected after the pier:
associated with
of London ; that built by gr. Smith in 1813 ;
the last fire it was preserved and used again by Mr. Tite,
whose professional fame is esPeeiallY
the present very elegant spire and tower. The archi-
tect, however, took the precaution to introduce, in addi-
ticn to the vane, a most effective lightning conductor,
which is understood to have been constructed under the
superintendence of Mr. Walter, the skilful electrician who
has charge of the electric telegraph on the outh-East
lines. To this precaution, no doubt, the preservation of
the tower from injury if not from destruction during the
recent storm is due. The vane and shaft have since
examination,under-
and they remain apparently
uninjured.
