THE LONDON OF TOMORROW

Chalmers Roberts, in the Worlds Work.
90 Some one has said that London is the most
backward white mans city in the world.
This is true to-day. Tomorrow it will all
be different, For new city is coming into
being, not quickly-it would not be itself If it
hurred-but surely Within twenty years one
will see it mot only almost wholly rebuilt,
but city with all the modern conVeniences.
Great government buildings In the course OF
construction, as we'll as Yankee-built sky
scrapers, will give the old town its new
dress And tube railways burrowing in every
direction far underground will actually MAKE
it possible to cross London in reasonable
time Everywhere that it is possible streets
are being widened and great avenues cut at
untold expense through populous sections.
This rebuilding and renovation is not re-
ceiyed wholly with satisfaction. The English
love the lesurely ways of their capital al
much as they love its dinginess and dirt.
AS one old tory put it, to his mind the re-
formers were trying to convert the place into
a 'sshrieking American pandemonium. am
sure that man is fond OF penny buses.

IN THE THREE CORNERED LOT

| Zeke had gone and wiped her eyes with q
corner of the pink sunbonnet CAPE
Best friend I've got in the world she
| said, shifting little "an' got to be separated
from him by that crabbedy nav of his'n."
| Once, in the edge of a pink summer twi-
| light, Zeke Armstead rode up to Rushy Hook
er's cabin. Rushy had Just come up to the
| door with tin bucketful OF clear spring
water, which she set upon the rough step.
Mighty glad to see you. Zeke,'' she said,
| tanning herself with her apron. What you
been don' with that little old three-cornered
| lot? The way things has been happenin'
| fairly skeers me-
Whats to do?'' asked Zeke.
| ''Well, honest, Zeke, sence you've been over
yonder a'diggin' your well could hev sold

First come Brother George, then Columbus,

| But wouldn't none of 'em tell me what they
wanted it fer-give one reason an another
| there wasn't a grain of sense in an I jest
naturally knowed 'twasnt the real one. An
| George an Columbus an the girls Is all
mad at paw es rails fer lettin' me hev
| the lot first place. What's it all about,
Zeke?' --
Come over a-purpose to tell you, Rushy.
I didn't strike any water a-diggin' that we'll,
nor oil neither, but 1 tell you what did
strike-a solid bed of salt. I hustled around
spry an he'd it looked into by them that
knowed, an they said it was 80 per cent
| pure salt. The railroad folks are a-goin'
to build branch track out there. Your
folks an the others heard what was a-goin'
on, an of course every tinker Of 'em begun
to figure up what they could make out Of it.
Rushy, your three-cornered lot is worth more
than any property in this county
I'm mighty glad, Zeke,' said Rushy,
"but tain't my three-cornered lot; it's yours.
I've sold it to you fer s25."
| "Well, I reckon not!' vowed Zeke.
| you've got to take it back-or else you've
got to take me. Which is it. Rushy?"
Rusty was sitting in the doorway now,
and Zeke was close beside her. She was
looking dreamily away to the western hills,
where the amethyst shadows of the twilight
were spreading.

soMNoLENT LITERATURE

At the meeting of the American Library AS
sociation at Magnolia, Mass, last week. DIR.
John S. Billings, director Of the New York
public library, speaking OF fiction reading.
said that many people read the current fiction
for the express purpose of putting themselves
to sleep when they feel tired or worried. He
explained thus
The average novel will give this result in
from six to ten minutes, and the after effects
are not nearly SO bad as those Of echloral OF
sulfonal The novels of five or six years
ago will answer this purpose Just as well,
and twelve novels year is an ample "a allow
ance for the average free public library.
producedanot ~ because use the the author had any
thing to say, but because the publisher
thought that book on the beauties OF brooks,
the homes Of historical stepmothers. or on
the lieutenant colonels Of the revolution,
would sell welfare usually Of little more
value in the free public library than the
novel. They count for circulation, but they
are not read, but merely glanced oyer-matnly
for the pictures.
This is a criticism on novel readers with a
sting in it, for both readers and publishers.
There is an element of truth in 1t. but the
sornnolent effect, described by DR.. Williams,
upon readers is not invariable. Some people
begin to nod at the twentieth page and are
sound asleep and snoring at page fifty. Most
people, however. attracted by the title of a
book (always misleading determining fac
tori, proceed with the reading with vlgor and
pleasurable anticipations until they find they
have been grossly and outrageously deceived
by author and publisher. Then they are mad
and throw the volume down In disgust and
vow they will never, never again allow them
selves to be deceived by "a title, but they take
the bait again and again. The Irritating
effect of "a certain class OF fiction Is oftenel
discernible than the somnolent effect referred
to. it is unfortunate that so many publishers
issue such literature with high commendatdon

He rarely is found correct in his estimates
DR.. Billings, with due Difference to his posi-
ton as director of the New York public libra
ry, is certainly incorrect in his judgHnen
upon nature books and stories of the reyolu
ton. He says they are mot read, but merely

QUARRY PARK OPPOSED

The Northeast Improvement ass oc1at1on
decided last night against a very I'M
portant plan for the improvement of that
portion of the city. It may be supposed
that the residents Of a certain part of the
city know what is good for their section,
and that they ought to have their. way
cannot be denied. ), ez>s.. ~
But from the standpoint Of an outsider
it looks as If the Northeasters have made
a serious mistake. From a statement OF
the case made to T he Journa ]. by
DR.. G. A. Kelsey it appears that the prob
lem of what is to be done with the i'm
mense and unsightly holes made by the
stone quarries Is really a very grave
one. Operations have begun on new
quarries, which will make all previous
excavations Insignificant in comparison
Two companies have contracts covering
about six blocks, lying between Fillmore
and Johnson streets and Fourteenth and
Sixteenth avenues. Some of the citizens
thought that the best disposition that
could be made Of such a hole would be to
turn it into a park with lake occupying
the lower portions OF the quarrtes. Id
this way adjoining property would not be
deprecated, as It Ia likely to be by the
proximity Of an unsightly hole. An
agreement was made by which the land
could be secured for park on condition
that It be released from further taxation,
that Buchanan street be vacated within
the limits OF the quarried land, and that
permission be given for a temporary rail
way crossing over Fillmore street. This
lake that would be formed would be
about half mile long and an eighth Of 9
mile wide, and would be surrounded BY
fine drive and rugged banks that could
be covered with flowers and shrubs, thus
converting the chaos and ruin OF e quarry
pit into place Of beauty and recreation
It is possible that there is yet plenty
Of timsssto take up the park scheme before
the expiration Of the fifteen years which
will be required for the removal Of thss
stone. There may, therefore, be wisdom
! in the decision Of the association. Bu
avantually the people Of, Northeast Mn;
