Locking up the Tower OF London.

Few persons are aware of the strictness with
which the Tower of London is guarded from
foes without and from treachcry within. The
ceremony of shutting it up every night contin-
ucs to be as solemn and as rgidly precautionary
as If the French invasion were actually afoot.
Immediately after ''tattoo' all strangers are
expelled; and the gates once closed, moth
ing short of such imperative necessity as fro

opened till the appointed hour the next MORN
