NO RORE roo " FOR HEROES.

From The L0ndou Tunes
II sounds like "A landmark in history when we are
told that there IL no more room for iutcrnents IN
Westminster Abbey. Matters must have come 10
this pass when the Dean has had 10 deny ground to

class which the Roman poet admitted into the
Pagan ElysuIn. II is said of the last two inter
Inents, those OF Darwin aud SpOtiswOOde, that the
collins only IA very few feet below the surface
For long time there have been ghastly stories OF
the disturbance necessary 10 the finding of room for
a new arrival. This has been the case, indeed. for
a century and a half, OF more. Chaucers grave

again when grave was dug for John Hunter. Adj

fully anticipated as much as twenty years ago, OF
more, when the difficulty Of inadequate ground,
aud inadequate wall space, suggested tie obvious
remedy Of an addition to tho ground and TO the
wall space. Gilbert Scott drew plan which
would have added much again TO the ground and
TO the wall space and at the same time provided a
useful and pleasant promenade for members of
Parliament. He proposed new cloisters running
along the east and south side OF the garden, and
approached from the Great Cloisters" through
the Little Closters" The total length of the adj
dition would be about five hundred feet the width
near fifty. AT the present rate OF Intorment, the

with further illustrations. Still COpley listened
and made no sign. At length, eXaspcratcd at what
