Little bendlngs are In progress all the

hills are bowling and scraplng to each

dew settles In the valleys between
them, they nod to one another. SO like
wise do the mountains. even to a great
er extent. Gravity Is Juggling all the
time
And In London, too, where earth
quake sensations are practically I'M
known, the earth bends daily, and the
buildings, like the hills and the noun
tains, nod to their friends opposite
when the morning traffic begins. On
Sunday usually their manners take n
rest excepting in such places as Petit
coat lane, where business 1ourishes in
as lively fashion as in Paris.
