the feasibility Of extended experiments in
the uses of the military bicvele. There are in

several weeks ago one of the large bicycle

of the military wheelmen that in case

they would be as effective. One bicycle

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.
The Place Appointed for ROYAL Weddings,
ChTiStelilgS and BlTiaES.

Long before the period Of the Reformation
the church was not only royal burying-
place and the scene OF every co, onation,
but also became the place appointed Tor
royal weddings and chTistenings, te deums
for victories and national pageants 1t
was not until the reigns of Henry VIII and
of Edward vi that a marked Increase
took place in the number of non-rOyal in
terment>. In the reign of Elizabeth there
was great development in this respect,
and the chapels round the east end of the
church were no longer used as places of
worship, but became simply receptaeles of
tombS and monuments. Efiigies Of the Illus
triOus dead RAPIDLY multiplied, and mural
tablets also began to appear But though
the strange stream was w1dened, the buIlalS
were almost entirely those of families who
were either connected with royalty by re-
lationship or had prominently served the
sovereign in the council chamber. at court,
or in the administration of the law.
The Reformation brought about an enor-
nous change; but for some generations the
honor of nterment in the Abbey had been
confined mainly to the great statesmen, law
yers. soldiers and their families Soon
there came the dawn of other claims to that
distinction. II is true that the year 400
had been marked by the burial OF Chauc6r
in the Abbey; out, singularly enough, this
was not in recognition of his claim as a
poet. 1t was due rather to the position he
held under Richard ii, among others that
of CLERK of the royal works.; to his resi-
dence at the time of his death in close con-
tiguity to the old church; and not least
to his connection through his wife, Philippe,
with the LancaStrian line. Edmund
Spenser, in 1899, was the first poet to whom
the browning honor Of interment in the
Abbey was conceded as an express tribute
to his poetic fame. Like Chaucer he died
near the church, and the Earl of Essex un-
dertook to pay the expenses of his funeral.
The commencement Of the Civil War
marked new period in the history of the
Abbey. 1t was henceforth more distinctly
and consciously recognized as a place OF
burial or cOmmemoratiun, an exceptional
honor which might be attained by distin-
guished merit. Both the Protector and
Parliament were imbued with what may be
called the more modern sense of the value
of such commemoration.-Ch bers' Jour

an MISUNDERSTANDING suppose, have put

over, and, as it was luncheon time for Euro
peans, no one appeared but myself. and the
ladies strayed hither and thther as they
chose, occasionally stopping to hear few
words OF the explanations which the
guide, woman also, was vainly trying
to give before each important statue.
With one exception, these Cairo danes
were, to say the least, extremely plump.

Germany in 1881 held about $40, 900, 600; in
1889 it held $3.50, 100000
In June, 1863, the amount of gold coin and
bullion in the United States Treasury was

$780, DOC, 600. In the various national banks

short body, massive legs and feet, ana a

covered square yard. Its skull was less
heavy than the fourth or fifth yertehra; it
moved slowly, having no weapons offensive
or defensive, and was of amphi6ious
habit, feeding upon aquatic plants. The re-
mains Of this animal are usually found in
places where it evidently got stuck in the
mud, which subsequently turned to stone,
thus preserving for ages the luckless beast

was. it was but smaller first COUSIN OF the
