The arrival IN LUuuon OF CIeUpatras
Needle is an event Of sufficiently near
future to Involve the necessity OF set
tling where it is to be put up. The de-
clsiUn rests with the FIRST Commission
er OF WORKS, who may be trusted under
due advice, to come to a juulciOus de-
cIsion, while his liberty OF cnoice is linn

mtneuVeriug the huge monolitn about

Obelisk might as well have stopped in
Egypt. In mere bulk, il we view il as a
structure ana not as a stone, it is not so
vast, and in particular it really can
stand Of Use # upon a very small square
patch Of ground.
But it is just the material ease with
Whlcn 1t may be reared upon almost any
London site not involving a long land
transit mat makes the decision more
delicate and difficult. ArListlcally, the
process is one Uf turning an adjective
into substantive. Obelisks, in their
natural homes at Memphis, Ihebes, or
Heliopolls, were only one, and not the
biggest, out OF mauy elements which
combined i'll the most & igantlc arcAitec-
tural conceptions WnlCh the world has
ever seeu. No one Thought OF their size,
whole artificial world round them. But
an obelisk torn away from old Egypt,
| and ses up to be looked at for its own
| sake, like Colorado beetle in a DO tie,
| is a very different affair, particularly as,
apart from assocIaClons, the Obelisk
| Iorm is not one OF extreme beauty. The
Romans, Indeed, were exceptionally
| lucky in the use TO which they coulu
put such acquisitions, as the spina Of a

central ornaments in public places. Oi
