Distance Learned by Touch.

Bishop Berkeley's theory that a knowledge of distance is acquired by touch and not by sight, and that the eye judges only by the experience learned with the other sense, is borne out by the experience of those crossing the Brooklyn bridge At the highest point, when one sees only the water be- low and nothing by which to.measure the distance, people do not feel dizzy, because they do not appreciate the height But nearer shore, where they can realize it by looking at the houses and chimneys, they are often troubled by head swimming.

LowELL's LIKING FOR WINTER
His Chcery vlgOr Was Like the Now En.

His Chcery vIgOr Was Like the Now En-
 gland Landscape in January.
 In all of these poems, as well as in those in dialect there is, to my mind a cheery vigor, which I can best describe by liL<ening it to the bright aspect of the New England landscape in miG- winter. He liked winter, by the way, as people of a strong constitution are apt to do, and he has written "A Good Word for Winter" One might say that the gayety of disposition which he had so strongly was of the northern rather than of the southern kind. The sun shines in sky without a cloud, over a wide domain of dazzling white, and the brilliant atmosphere is filled with the flying snowdust He once told me that he was of Scandinavian ancestry, and can imagine that there was sornc- thing of this in his verse and in his nature. can fancy, as I read his poetry or remember his conversation, a skald of the Norsemen, with blond b ard and ru ldy check and merry brigl t eyes, singing in a snow trench ana -quaffing deep draughts of the legendary mead Do you know how the sap ruI 8 from the side of the sugar maple? That was ve-y like the clear current of his verse. He combined brightness with elastic strength. His mind appeared tc me to have tough elasticity, like t! ( supple fiber of a hickory sapling or t . rebound of ivory. The Critic.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CITY HALL.
1t Is to BE Surmouisted by a Tall and Inn
posing Tower.

1t Is to BE Surrounded by a Tall and Inn
posing Tower.
San Francisco's 'snew' city hall is grad
ually nearing completion. Over 20 years
ago plans were adopted and ground broken
by the city authorities for a picturesque
and colossal structure that was intended to
house all the departments of the city gov
eminent as well as the courts, the public
library, the receiving hospital, the city
prison and several other public institutions.
Through oil the intervening years the
work Of building has gone on with more or
less regularity, and as each section of the
structure was completed it has been occu-
pied by some one of the various bureaus or
institutions. In the meantime the COM
missioners in charge of the matter have
been changed many times, and each new
commission has engaged its own architect,
and each new architect has in some man
ner altered or modified the original plans
until it is a matter of congratulation that
tradition has preserved any idea of what
those plans were.
One feature of them was a tower $50 feet
in height, and around that tower while it
was still of the air, but no. in it, many
wordy battles have been fought. 1t has
had it's partisans and opponents, andthough
the question never got into practical poll
tics the people of the city were divided in
sentiment upon it. The towerites wanted

The thoronghfare from Newark

suspended owing to the impossibility of

bert of Schleswig-Holstein, had solemnly
fixed the armorial shields ON the ancient
gate at Clerkenwell with Maltese honors,
etc, at first glance seems like a burlesque.
It, suggests "Sons of Malta and that sort
of thing.
In truth, it was anything but an amusing
affair, for the memorial unveiled was in
honor of the late Duke of Clarence, son Of
the Prince of Wales. The duke was first
subprior of the ancient order which now
holds Clerkenwell. To E"nglishmen proud
OF the achievements of their race that is
truly a sacred and historic spot. The me-
mortal was erected by the Order of the
Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. 1t con
sists briefly of a complete restoration Of the
defaced panel of armorial shields on the
south side of the gate, and thus restores the
long famous St. Johns gate at Clerkenwell
to its original condition.
After the unwilling the prince distri-
buted the eight medals and certificates of
honor awarded during the year for gallan-
try in saving life on land. To understand
ali this a bit of history is necessary. The
famous Order of St. John of Jerusalem,
or knights Hospitallers, had its origin in
an association formed in the year 104S by
some merchants to build a hospital for pill
grims near the holy sepulcher at Jerusa-
lem. The crusades gradually changed it to
a fighting organization, and for 400 years
its history was indeed glorious. 1t held
Malta against all the assaults of the Turks,
and the order was long known as Knights
of Malta.
Since Bonaparte took Malta in 1898 the
order has practically ceased to exist, but

Tnn FRKNcH BUILDING.

At the other end of the building, how
ever, is a room not SO easy of entrance. 1t
Is guarded constantly by watchfui French
men, and no one is permitted to enter with
out a pass signed by one of the commission
ers. The room contains the Lafayette relics,
and they are watched with the most Jealous
care. The greater number of these relics were
gifts to the great Frenchman while he was in
this country taking part in the war of the
Revolution and during his visit in the year
1924 Many of them were given to him as
souvenirs by one or another of the great
men of that time and are thus doubly
precious in the eyes of patriotic people OF
both nations.
There Is q pair of pistols once the prop
erty of Washington and presented by him
to Lafayette, and there are two rings con-
tanning some of Washington's hair, given
to the noble Frenchman by W. Park Gus
tbs. A dress sword worn by Benjamin
Franklin at the French court and subse-
quently given by him to Lafayette looks as
bright as if it had but just been made, and
there are two original busts by Houdon-
one of Washington and one of Lafayette.
The copy of the Declaration of Independ-
ence presented to Lafayette by congress in
1924 is in the collection. 1t is an engrav-
ing, printed on parchment, and has for a
border the arms of the 10 original states.
Portraits Of Washington, Hancock and
Jefferson adorn the upper portion. The
autograph letter of President John Quincy
Adams transmitting the declaration lies
beside it, and there is also an autograph
letter by Thomas Jefferson, which, though
merely a letter of introduction for "Mr.
Lawrence, a citizen of distinction of the
state of New York; is as interesting as
anything in the room.
Writing of the Declaration printed on
parchment is a reminder of another docu-
ment on parchment that may be considered
a lineal descendant of it. This is the
Worlds fair diploma designed by Will H.
Low of Boston, and it is a very pretty spec
linen of artists and engravers' work. 1t
is full of symbolical figures exquisitely
drawn. On one side at the top America
leans in a graceful attitude against the
crouching form Of a buffalo, symbolizing
strength. Before her are three naked chill
dren-Caucasian, Indian and negro, the
three races of America. Across the entire
lower part of the design extends a barge
containing four female figures, represent
ing Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia,
their eyes upturned to America above
them. In the stern of the barge stands a
superb figure of Columbus, with clean cut
profile, and bearing in his extended hand a
globe surmounted by a cross.
Soaring from the barge below and bear
ing in her hands q laurel wreath, which
she offers to America above, is another fe-
male figure, forming the only connection
between the W groups and showing the
motive of the design, the old world extend

THE PROPOSED TOWER.

a significant landmark. The antitower-
ties. afraid of earthquakes, wanted a dome.
Plans for each have several times been
adopted and as often rescinded by different
commissions, but at last the towerites have
won.
The commission has adopted plans for a
tower of the height at first proposed, but
differing from the original in it's details.
The architect says it can be built For $780,
600 and finished during the term of the
present commissioners, so it will probably
be built and the vexed question settled for
ever. The plans show an octagonal tower
with a dome top from which springs a Gu
pola surmounted by an ideal figure of Cali
fornia. The base of the tower will be orna-
mented with statuary and carved stone
work, and upon each of the eight sides, 800
feet above the street level, will be an inn
mense clock dial, the largest in the world,
in the usual California style.

THE BURNS STATUE. cieties in Chicago,
the fund being in charge of the Chicago
Burns Memorial and Monumental associ-
alton, which was formed three years ago,
with D. r. Cameron as president. The
sole object of the association was to raise
funds for the monument, and its efforts
nave been entirely successful.
The statue of the poet will be 10 feet in
height, and it will stand on a Scotch gran
tie pedestal IL feet high. On each of the
four faces of the pedestal will be a bronze
panel in bas-relief depicting a familiar
scene from one of Burns poems. In the
place of honor on the front will be a scene
from THE Cotter's Ss>1rday Night be-
meath which will appear this verse:
But harkl a rap comes gently to the door.
Jenny, who kens the meaning O. the same,
Tells how a neibor lad cam DER the moor
To do some errands and convey her hame.
Tam O'Shanter's ride will be commemo-
rated by the panel on the rear of the pedes-
tai with this stanza:
But ere the keystane she could make,
The 1eIt a tail she had to shakei
For Mamie, far before the rest,
Hard upon noble Maggie prest,
And few at Tam with furious ettle-
But little wist she Maggie's mettle!
Ane spring brought OF her master hale.
But left behind her ain gray tail;
The carline claught her by the rump
And left poor Maggie scarce a stump.
The statue represents the poet standing
in a contemplating attitude, holding in one
hand a book, between the pages of which
his fingers are inserted, as though to keep
the place. He is shown dressed in a ''claw-
hammer" coat, knee breeches and long
wooden hose, and the entire thing is excep-
tionally effective.
