 White Tower? Of the block and ax which
 are now shown nothing appears to be known beyond the fact that the former was used for the execution of Lord Lo- Vat in 1747. It seems. indeed, to have been the custom to make a new block for each occasion.
 It was in the White Tower that royal prisoners were usually confined but .the Bloody Tower has had some illustrious occupants--Dudley and Cranmer, Raleigh and Laud, to mention only the more ob- vious names, No prison was ever so strong that escape was impossible, as the evasion of De Latude from the Bas- tile and Casanova from the Ducal Palace at Venice have shown. Isolated and well watched as the Tower of London was several escapes were made from 1t. not ably those of Gerard and, Arden, twoi Roman recusants. whose exploit was peculiarly ingenious. By stratagem they obtained from friends outside thin cord with ledden weight attached to the end. One dark night a boat was brought to the river bank opposite the place of their confinement and the weighted cord was siung across to it. A stout rope having been made fast to the line, the prisoners hauled 1t over the roof of the Cradle Tower. and having secured 1t, swarned along it to the boat and got away. That was in Elizabeths time. Elizabeth found England thirdArate power, with a com paratively small population, and not only her own life. but the national existence was constantly being threatened from within and from without. Chronic con spiracy had to be fought with the stern est weapons. In the end she succeeded. after many narrow escapes from disas- ter. thanks greatly to that fervor of patriotism which she was practically the first Englnish monarch to evoke-not so much because she was lovable in her self, but because she had. as she said. the heart and stomach of King"

CEDAR RAPIDS DAILY MIRAGE
Singular Illusion Visible in an Iowa Town When the Sun Shines.

Every day in the year when the sun is shining a mirage may be seen in thls city says Cedar Rapids telegram. So far as is known this is the only place in the world where this phenomenon of na- ture can be so regularly observed. al though there are many places where 1t takes place under certain atmospheric conditions. The mirage here Is on one of the principal streets of the city and makes th~ street appear as if there was a pond of water covering it. So natural is this appearance that many residents of the city who are not posted as to the mirage have turned from the street to Hs- cape going through the water that they thought they saw in the distance.
 Passing street cars are so plainly re- fected in it that it Is difficult to realize that there is no water there.
 Professor Bates. of Coe College. ac- counts for the mirage hv the fact that the avenue is slightly inclined from the indicated point of view. A person. there fore, looks down at the mirage at an an gle of about thirty degrees, and his line of vision crossing the down;cominK rays of light obliquely at that point produces this singular illusion.
