London, July2 Everybody has heard
Of London. Everybody has some Kind
Of an idea what it is like. One expects
to see there much out of the ordinary;
something altogether different from our
own cities. But you don't see it; that
is in its general aspect. At least l
didn't. When standing in the busy
streets ! could easily imagine I was in
Boston. My first impression caused
me to say "Is this London? Can it be
that this is the great city Of the world?"
To besure there we're the thousands Of
cabs to be seen everywhere. darting
about, across here and across there, and
some standing in long rows in the mid
die Of the streets waiting to be called.
And there were the great omnibusses
slowly rumbling along, top heavy with
passengers. And there were the little
urchins running in between the many
teams with shovel and broom in hand,
cleaning the refuse from the street
whenever an opportunity occurred.
And then there were the thousand and
one chimney tops covering the roofs of
the buildings. in countless variety OF
size. And then there were the narrow
streets bending in every direction, so
that the view at best was a short one.
But there was nothing strikingly odd in
these things. They we're not sufficient
in themselves TO call forth expressions
Of awe and wonder. The narrow side.
walks were crowded with pedestrians,
but there was not the shove and push
we encounter in Boston or Chicago.
Cabs, buses and teams were there
without number, but they are seen
in our great cities, though we don'thave

them, like bees in a hive. A

so different. Most Of all 1 wanted to see
the celebrated London fog. But there
was none there; absolutely none; not
even symptom. The sun shone

had left no other memorial OF them but
that they were born and that they died."
They put me in mind OF several per-
sons mentioned in heroic poems. who
have founding names given them, for no
other reason than that they may be
killed, and are celebrated for nothing

But in all England there is not one

just across the way. on the banks OF
the Thames, are the great parliament
houses, to which admission may be had
on Saturday upon application at the
Office OF the Lord Great Chamberlain. at
the south end Of Victoria tower. These
are interesting, not only historically but
also enthusiastically, They are the most
extensive Gothic structures in the
world. They cover eight acres OF ground
and contain five hundred rooms and
several courts.
We pass first through the Norman
porch, the royal robing room, the royal
gallery, the princes chamber, into the
house Of lords. Murray says, This is
one Of the richest rooms in the world"
The throne of the sovereign is between
the entrance dorways and is covered
with gilded canopy. One is tempted
to rest there for moment but the guard
says yield not On the right is the
chair OF the Prince of Wales and on the
left the chair OF the sovereign's consort.
The somber splendor Of the great hall
is most pleasing memory.
We pass on through the peers lobby
and corridor the central hall in which
are statues Of all the sovereigns. Then
to the commons corridor and house of
commons.
We return to central hall and then
pass through st Stephens into the large
Westminster hall. This was built in
1897 by William Rufus and is the chief
theatre of the great law history Of
England. Here Richarn III was de-
posed. Cromwell inaugurated Lord
Protector, Charles condemned, and here
was heard the great trial Of Warren
Hastings. 1t was the scene Of host OF
other matters Of English history which
/ can't take time to mention.
We pass out the great door and stand
in the street with head full OF sights
knowing hardly which way to turn.
We take bus to Regents park to see
the Albert Memorial statue. A glorious
work, costly pile. But when We
return to the hotel and realize we are in
London, we are disappointed. We want
to see the fog.

OF France. and cousins Mary and
Elizabeth, and all the rest Of the family
and their children and the Lord only
knows how many more. There are all
there, but dead, dead as Dickens says Of
Marley. dead as door nail"
Along little farther underneath a
tomb lies Mary Queen Of Scots. and
beyond. under a slab. Prince George OF
Denmark. When there is no room left
in the tomb or in the wall they put
them under these cold and barren slabs.
They had to die early to get tomb.
One part OF the chapel is called the
Nave. This was founded in 1902 by
Henry VII. who designed it for a Royal
Sepulchre. Lord Bacon calls it "One Of
the stateliest and daintiest tombs in
Europe The stone ceiling with its
fan tracing and its marvellous penden.
tives is considered the special glory Of
the chapel. 1t certainly is very clever
and much can be said as to the artistic
arrangement Of the interior; but con-
slider the numberles dead. Beneath
the center Of one chapel are e5 collins.
Henry VII. and Elizabeth lie beneath
their effigies, carved on a tomb of black
marble, lying in robes Of state, enclosed
in a highly ornamental chantry of
brass.
But let's pass on from these several
regions OF the dead to the chapel of
Edward the Confessor. This is a vast
burying ground itself. But there is one
thing i wish to mention and that is the
Coronation Chair Of Edward l. 1t is an
ugly and uncomfortable piece of royal
furniture, but beneath is a stone called
the .Scone" which was regarded as an
emblem of Scottish power. Now you
will all remember Jacob, his ladder, and
his dream. and how he rested his head
on pillow Of stone. This is the same
stone. Around are lot Of chairs and
swords. We now pass through the
north transcpt, with more of the same,
down the north aisle by the grave of

slab. and We pass out into the sunny
street. with not a sign Of fog anywhere.
And this is Westminster Abbey. 1t is
old, centuries old, and for grave yard
is extremely interesting.
But it has its romantic and sentimental
aspect which is strongly apparent to the
sombre student when he first enters
urder its gray portals. The music Of
the organ resounding from the Gothic
arches reaches the tender chords Of his
heart and the massive stone pillars and
the quiet solemnity that prevails I'LL his

rather thoughtfulness that is not dis
agreeable.
Addison says he passed a whole

tiers, and the church amusing himself

sunlight until they disappeared under
the gloomly arch Of London bridge.
What's the use Of going to London
unless you can see the fog? The fog
has made her world known and we want
to see it. No. London is not what it is
cracked up to be. Another thing. it is
only ten miles square. Chicago is near
ly twice as large. London has
about four million population; but what
does that amount to? 1t is acres We are
after. land. real estate; that's what
counts. We don't want SO many human
beings all huddled together in little
small place ten by ten, with hardly space
enough to turn around. We believe in
room, air space, fertile lands and a
chance to drink in the sunlight and
luxuriate in the graces Of untrammeled
nature. And IL the city is
not large enough t. hold
all We can drive stakes way out in the
suburbs, the country. and make room;
room for everybody. No. London is
IN. g." as an entirety.
The first day, went down to West
minister Abbey. You have all seen
pictures Of it. 1t is really quite a
building, but it is not nearly as tall as our
Washington monument. It's an old thing
too. 1t is said to have been founded
by Sebert in the 9th century. But you
can truly say Of it, it is nothing less than
an old grave yard. Every square stone
slab in its floor is tombstone. Livery
nook and every corner is filed with
some departed person who long ago
shook of this mortal coil and returned
to dust.
Grave yards are gloomy affairs and
who wants to spend his time around
one. now? He will have plenty of time
to make Investigations there later OIL.
Life is too seldom these days to waste
it in grave yard. But all tourists
must see this gray old pile, so let's go in.
The abbey is two hundred by three
hundred and seventy-five feet. and
contains the tombs OF twenty eight
kings and queens, to say nothing Of a
multitude of others of lesser note.
The royal families are put in tombs.
but the common mortal is laid to rest
under a cold, cold slab where he listens
on forever to the constant patter of foot
steps overhead.
In order to go through the abbey
properly we enter through the west
door and pass along the south aisle till
we come to the Poets Corner" This
is a regular jam Of statuary, monuments
and tombs. Shakespeare has mon
ument here. Spencer. johnson, Chaucer
and Garrick are buried underneath the
stone floor. They put Charley Dickens
under slab and marked his name on
it. There are great many more and
they are in thick. Too thick for
comfort. AS we leave the Poets
Corner We pass through series Of
small chapels, st. Benidict's chapel and
ST. Edmund's chapel, st. Nicholas
chapel and 50 on, seven in all. There
are multitudes Of people buried here.
and monuments till you can't count
them. Dukes and duchesses, and counts
and mobiles and Bulwer Lytton, Lady
Jane Gray's moth n, James Watt and
others.
Next we enter Henry Seventies
chapel at the extreme east end Of the
abbey. In the south aisle lies Lady
Margaret Douglas, ore of the most
titled ladies Of England. Then there is
