Guildhall.

It is extraordinary that the citizens of
London should permit the one historical
building VIII oh the corporation possesses
to b crowded up by buildins destitute of
particle of architectural merit or inter-
est. A full view Of .London's Guildhall
is impossible, so long as it is obscured by
the ugly md homogeneous edi6ce at it's
west end. The cost Of opening out the
hall would be nothing to the corporation,
and in view of the coming coronation and
the festive purposes to which the hall
will be put in connection with it, it is un-
reasonable to hope that this year will be
marked by the much-needed improve
ment. The obstruction to be removed is
1t may be observed, very small as com
pared with that which had to be got
rid Of before Westminster hall could be
brought fully to view. Three weeks
work would do what is needed. The
Guildhall dates from 1411, but, being
greatly damaged in the great fire. was
restored by Wren.-LOndon Chronicle.

A CLAIMS Queer Coin.

There is in the possession of John W.
woodward remarkable coin which has
been examined by several local coin col
lectors and others in New York city, and
which none have been able to find any
trace Of the origin Of nor have any who
have seen it even seen duplicate Of it.
The coin came into the possession Of Mr..
Woodward in a very peculiar manner.
A friend Of his, who was summering in
West Haven, caught one morning off the
Hills homestead an immense long clam,
about five inches in length. The clam
was given to Mr.. Woodward, who opened
it. Inside he found imbedded in the
muscle hard substance which had what
appeared to be thick crust about It.
This he Clipped off and it revealed a
coin. Polishing revealed the identity Of
it SO far as the identity could be revealed
by the coin itself and it proved to have
on the face the head Of the late Queen
Victoria. Around the edge were the
words ''Victoria Regina and at the bot
tom the date 1883" The reverse showed
woman seated in a chair before table
and about the edge are the words keep
Your Temper The figure in the chair
bears a striking resemblance t. the like
ness Of the Queen on the opposite side.
The piece is slightly smaller than Ca
madam quarter and seems to be made of
bronze.-NeW Haven Leader

Statistics indicating the immensely of
the railway interests of the United
States have been compiled by Prof.
Samuel NC. Lindsay, Of the University
Of Pennsylvania, for the United States
Industrial Commission. In his work at
the university, Prof. Lindsay has given
the subject of railway employees much
study. He estimates that they number
about l,OOO,OOO in this country, and that
probably 100000 persons are depend
ent on their earnings. One-third Of the
1,WO,OOO employees are engaged directly
in the operating Of trains. Over a quar-
ter Of million are needed to keep the
tracks in repair, and another quarter of
million are required in shops and else
where to maintain the plant. What may
be termed the mechanism of the Ameri-
can railway system is directed by less
than 10000 officers having 10000 clerks.

WHEN THE SNOW FALLS.
Driit Forms AZ observed in the Adj.
rondacks in Winter.

Drift Forms az Observed in the Adj
rondacks in Winter.
On good drift-making day the snow
comes, not in the star-shapcd fakes that
look so pretty when portrayed on a page
OF the dictionary. but in small PELLETS.
These pellets are in shape like tiny white
footballs, usually, and they come rolling
and tumbling down-wind as if they had
been kicked for fair' by the haifback
gods Of the gale! And yet while they
roll and tumble and bound they find lods-
ing places, and as the idler gazes he sees
them pile up in wall on the crest Of the
road cut. Higher and higher grows the
pile, forming at first vertical wall, but
seen to ovcrhang the gulch.
Enough round and easily rolled, these
pellets in some way fit in each other as
bricks would, until the overhang is per-
haps fifth as great as the elevation of
the wall, and then, marvellous and i'm
possible as it would seem to the unaccus-
toned observer, lip forms on the crest
of the wall and soon it begins to droop
and hand down. Wider and longer it
grows, farther and farther it DROPS, I'M
til its, shape is precisely like the lip
formed on huge wave when it breaks
on on as a shoa ?i beach. Lips that are
of all, though but 6 or s inches thick
where they join the chin Of the wall, arc
not uncommon. BY what magic is it,
that these frozen, oblong pellets that go
bounding as footballs form into such
shape as that? OF course. if the storm
continues time usually comes when the
lips break off because of their growing
weight. And then no new lip forms to
replace the lost one. The snow merely
drops over into the lee of the wall and
gradually fills the cutting.-Scr;b er's
