| Edward III that the advice and consent
of the commons, then composed of the
knights of the shire and the burgesses,
| began to be recorded in the enacting part
| of every statute. 1t was long after this
| that the present system of choosing the
| members Of the house of commons by
| ballot came into vogue, but the house of
lords was even then virtually the same
as it is now-composed of the lords spir-
| itual and the lords temporal.
The lords spiritual are the archbishops
of Canterbury and York, the bishops Of
| London, Durham and Winchester and
81 of the remaining % bishops of the Els
tablished Church, according to seniority
Of conservation. The two archbishops
and the three bishops named always
have seats. The dioceses not represent
| ed in the present parliament are st. AL
bans, Worcester, Rochester, Peterbor-
| ough, Lichfeld, Truro and Carlisle.
| The lords temporal comprise all the
peers of England (honors created by the
kings of England before 1907, when
union between England and Scotland
was effected), the peers of Great Britain
(hOnOrS created DeCWe0u 1tUt anu lCU1J,
the peers of the United Kingdom (hon-

Ireland was effected), 16 representatives
of the Scottish peerage, elected for each
parliam <nt by the votes of the Scottish
peers, aad % representatives of the Irish
peerage, elected by the Irish peers for
life.
The house of lords as at present con-
stituted comprises 555 members, as fol-

archbishops, 20 dukes, 90 marquises, ia
earls, 25 viscounts, "a bishops, 298 bar,

a very sore disappointment, II l had Mt

was none which affected me like that.
At one moment / saw door of escape
lying open before me, black indeed,
but the entrance of a tunnel plainly
in communication with the sea. The
next, in manner quite unexpect-
ed, l found that door barred-bar-
red with water. And yet by no means
gave up all hope of eventually making.

good swimmer and diver, though l knew
we'll that a man who would make his
way under water from the point where
now was to the open sea would per-
haps require three or four breaths in
the course of his submarine journey.
The source of this my second spring of
hope in connection with the seals tun-
mel will presently appear. The venture,
however, upon which had my resolu-
ton fixed / postponed executing till
should have quite tanned my seals.
First, then, measured very carefully
the distance from Curry's Window to
the seals pool. The cavern, il may be
remembered, first trended straight in
ward and then described a curve to the
left, sloping downward steadily and at
times even sharply the whole way. This
curve, continuing, became recurve in
the neighborhCod of the pool, SO that
this part of the cavern was nearer to
the outer sea by some 80 yards than
that portion of the curve which was
farthest inland and away from the sea.
The calculation was not easy, but here
for the first and last time in my life
found my college trigonometry of some
practical value to me. My object, of
course, was to discover the distance
from the mouth of the tunnel at the
seals pool to the other mouth, by which
it communicated with the sea. AS the
face of the sea cliff was nearly if not
quite vertical, my problem was not COM
plicated by the introduction of an ex
ternal element. l merely added few
yards at guess to represent the very
slight departure from perpendicularity
of the face of the cliff below Curry
Window. Eventually l concluded that
the tunnel ON the assumption that it
would run straight was about 10 yards
long, and still believe that this APP
Proclamation was tolerably correct.

ably certain. 1t may take long time
| to accomplish this result, however, as
the English people are proverbially con-
sentative, and the opponents of the estab-
! lished system appear to be almost hope
lessly divided.
Very few Americans certainly and
probably not a large percentage of the
queens subjects could concisely and &C
curately explain the complex makeup
of the upper house of the United King
| dom's parliament.
The parliament is the supreme legis-
| lature of the United Kingdoms of Great
| Britain and Ireland, and it consists of
| the sovereign and the three estates of the
realm-the lords spiritual. the lords tenn
| poral and the commons. The sovereign
| does not now take part in the delibera-
| tons of the parliament. The first two
| estates make up the house of lords. which
| body was in the early days of Great
| Britain's constitutional government as
| truly the real legislative power as is the
house of commons now.
The Anglo-Saxon forerunner of the
| house of lords was the witenagemot or
| national council, composed of eorls-
heads of villages-the kings gesiths and
thegns and the bishops and abbots. The
king was the presiding officer of this de-
Lucrative body. Crowds of people some
| times gathered about the outskirts of its
meetings and shouted approval or dis
| approval of its decisions. but the wishes
of these crowds We're not deferred to as
| a matter of law, only as maker of cour
| tesy or policy. In certain sense their
occasional presence at the meetings of
the council was prophecy of the pres
ent commons.
The first use of the name parliament
occurred about the middle of the thir-
tenth century, when in 1916 during the
prevalence of civil war, it was applied
to gathering of the barons, but it was
not until Jan. 20, 1865, that there was a
deliberative session of both lords and
| commons. This meeting was held in the
| splendid hall at Westminster, which is
still standing. The commons sat at the
bottom of the hall. They were not dis
posed to try to exercise any influence on
the deliberations. They had no vote,
and they seem to have failed utterly of
realizing the significance of their pres
ence as component part of the assem-
blage. But insignificant as they We're,
they We're there to stay. Their influence
was to grow and multiply, and now for
many years they have been the real leg
islative power of the United Kingdom.
The conquest of England by the Nor
mans checked but did not arrest the evo-
luton of parliament. The people them
selves, however, were slow to take adj
vantage of their privileges. 1t was the
lords who did all the legislative business.
The commons indeed were induced to
attend the meetings with the greatest

ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY SPEAKING IN
THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
ETY. bodies and faces deeply marked with
dissipation or else as stupid, heavy rus
tics Englishmen have laughed at these
caricatures without believing in them,
but when the Irish home rule bill was
passed by the commons in September
last and 400 peers, the largest number on
record, went up to London to vote against
it in the house of lords it was seen for
the first time by the people that the COM
ic artists are right-that the British peer
is sorry fellow in the main, untitled by
mental endoement or special training
to make or obstruct the laws of great
and busy nation. This is putting the
facts then found out by the British peo-
pie very mildly.
One observer described the throng of
peers as comparable only with the as
semblages that are to be found in jails
and almshouses and hospitals for the in
sane. The presence of such intellectual
giants as Salisbury, Rosebery and Play
fair in this crowd of men notable for
what the same writer speaks of as ''the
senility of youth, the wreck of middle
life, the tottering imbecility of dissipat-
ed age, served but to furnish the con-
trast between hope and despair"
There is not space here to go into the
details of the previous conflicts between
the lords and the commons, but some of
the more important may be mentioned.
In every case the lords yielded or We're
coerced by the sovereign acting under
pressure from the people. This coercion
has at times been effected by creating a
sufficient number of peers favorable to
the ground taken by the commons to
make majority of the same mind in the
house of lords. Queen Anne did this
when the lords refused to assent to the
treaty of peace signed at Utrecht but it
was then necessary to create but a dozen
new peers.
In 1882 King William ~ did the same
thing, the difference between the houses
being over the reform bill which ex-
tended the franchise to some hundreds of
thousands, abolished more than so "rot-
ten boroughs' of few dozen voters
each and simplified the method of voting.
But the king did not yield till he had
been hooted in the street and the houses
of number of mobiles were burned. He
created Is peers favorable to the bill, and
many who were unfavorable refrained
from voting. In 1916 the houses dis
agreed over the corn laws, but the lords
finally yielded, as they also did in 1868
over the disestablishment of the Irish
church, in 1881 on the Irish question and
in 1884 over enlargement of the franchise.
1t is worthy of note that in 1884 it was
Joseph Chamberlain, now with the lords
in sentiment, who coerced them into
yielding to the commons.

OF course from the moment that l

thought naturally suggested itself to me
that / might be able to get out through
the same tunnel or boring by which the
seals came in. Immediately after secur-

the court of last resort of the realm as
well as upper house of the legislature.
A body of hereditary legislators is of
course an anomaly these days, especially
in so progressive a government as that Of
the United Kingdom. But still in the
minds of some thoughtful men it has its
uses. Being composed of representatives
of the classes, who fear that continued
progress of the people may some time en-
tirely displace them, the house of lords is
sure to be opposed to all changes of any
moment. But its veto power, the only one
authorized by the unwritten British con-
stitution, royalty having long ago re-
nounced the veto prerogative, may, like
the veto of the president of the United
States, be lawfully overriden by the pop
ular will, so that no real reform is likely
to be permanently prevented. And it is
held that the delay which sometimes re-
suits can work no lasting harm. In view
of all this, it is quite within the bounds
of the probable that if the persons who
make up the upper house were possessed
of more character or were disposed to
give greater attention to the welfare of
their country they might maintain their
branch of the legislature indefinitely
But as matter of fact the personality
of the lords is the greatest menace to
their legislative existence.
For many years it has been the habit
of English caricaturists to represent men
of title as having sloping foreheads, rick
