order is made that the locks shall be
opened. and new locks set upon the
Coors." At the restoration the new re-
gala were kept in the tower, and the
contents Of the treasury were reduced to
certain treaties, exchequer t~allies, and
the pyx, or box containing the standard
coins of the realm; whence the familiar
name of the "Chambersof the Pyx." But
the pyx has recently migrated to the
mint, and the empty treaty chests have
also been removed; so that the question
has arisen to what use the now empty
chamber shall be put.
To begin-at the beginning, it is quite
certain that. as part of the original
building of Edward the Confessor, it
was made owe by him to the monastery
that he founded: and we have unmistak-
able evidence that it was a chapel before
it was a treasury. 1t is equally certain
thar all the buildings within the pre-
cincts Of the monastery passed, by the
grant Of Queen Elizabeth, to the college
of deans and prebendaries which she
founded to take the place of Queen
Mary's regretted monastery, The terms
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-10-01

of the grant are explicit. They include:
"All that church and monastery of st.
Peters, Westminster, lately dissolved, and
the whole site, circuit. and precinct there
OF, all privileges, and liberties, and free
customs of the late dissolved monastery,
the whole church, and all the chapels, to-
gether with the leads, bells, cloisters and re-
factories, bakehouses and Greenhouses.
granaries. and everything else that was.
or was reputed to be. within the close and
precinct of the late dissolved monastery
If the Chapel of the Pyx' had been
excepted from the grant, it would GER
tainly have been excepted in plain terms,
and the fact that it was in use as a royal
treasury NO more affected the title OF the
abbey to the property of it than the use
of Henry VII. s chapel as a royal mauso-
leum affected their title to that-a point
argued n allowed in the reign Of
George ii.
Supposing, then, that King Edward
having no further use for the chapel as a
treasury, should restore the custody of
it to the dean and chapter, from the
abbey point of view it goes without say
ing that its future use should be its orig
inal use-a sacred one. The Chapel OF
the PyX" is the oldest chapel in the alb
hey precinct. and the only portion OF Ed
ward the Confessor's building which is
still capable of being used for divine
service. 1t would be the natural course,
therefore, to use it for service on GER
tain high days connected with the his
tory of the abbey, provision, of course,
being made for its inspection by visitors.
The dean of Westminster, however, in
a lecture given recently at the Royal in

is al open space; observe the flood OF
light that is coming from it in the clever
sketch of the reconstructed crypt as it
would be seen from its southern end
looking towards the altar in the Pyx
chapel. This open space is at present
occupied by the school gymnasium, but
it would conceivably be possible to ar

CLEANING UP THE CEMETERY.

The effort on the part of the oeme.

terry and keep 1t so, should receive the
hearty cooperation OF every plot

those who 90 want their plots looking

IT has been evident for some time
that something would have to be done

as 1t is, on the hill overlooking the
city and sound, with Staten Island
beyond. 1t is filled with handsome
shade trees and pretty paths wind
