PHOENIX SUBMERGED
The Town Seemed to Be at the Bottom
 of a Sea.

Phoenix was at the bottom of a sea.
 So it seemed from the point of view of one man. George McClarty left be- fore daylight on Saturday u.orning for
 his mining property in the mountains south of the valley. It happened that morning as it he'd happened on the previous mornings that there was a great deal of fog. As MT. McClatty began to ascend the heights he noticed the fog gathering in the pockets and canyons. It was a cold fog for the
 horses and cattle gathered closely and shivered. He had not looked back to- ward the valley but he did so when he reached his destination He was sur prised at what he saw for he could al-
 ways before that see the city or the
 more prominent buildings like the Ho-
 tel Adams, the court house, the city hall and the wtater tour.
 But this time he could see nothing but what seemed to him to be the
 waves of a white ocean. The whole
 valley was filed with a fog constantly
 tossed by the wind which threw it up
 into what seemed like spraay. MT. Mo Clarty has lived in Arizona for a quar- ter of a century. He has seen many
 Interesting and beautiful things in the
 way of mirages, etc, and there is no
 PieiCC III tue WI1e1e IflOTe full things can be seen, but he said that that vision of the fog was the most beautiful and impressive that had ever presented itself to him.
 [ Speaking of fogs, real estate dealers and others bidding for the hunger inn migration used to advertise this coun- try as one entirely devoid of fogs. Of course that was a lie as many of the advertisements of the conditions of any country are. It is true that fogs are ir- frequent here but that is one of the disadvantages of the valley. Fogs are healthful to animal and vegetable life and in this part of the country they are not only healthful but they are as inspiriting as the breath of a snow storm is in the north when men feel elated and when cattle and horses run about the fields in an exuberance of spirits. It is true that a fog may not be a good thing for a man who is lowering between life and death but then there is no weather for such an unfortunate.

OTHER THINGS

You see, it was my first Thanksgiv- ing away from home, and then-sofne other things-well, never mind.
 Heart speaks to heart Of thoughts that filled a long and
 lonely day,
 Faced bravely in that strength each
 hour brings; Tells of a burden found along the way And then, impulsive, adds-"Some
 other things Well! never mind!"
 Could we but tell, Ah, yes,-These other things" if we
 but knew,
 How deep would probe our vision
 into life. If we could read the heart thought
 clear and true How much would be revealed of deep soul-strife.
 But never mind!"
 Some things there are Touching these lives. not meant for friendly sharing Because the Father would a lesson show A lesson just for self-whose patient
 bearing Gives strength the battling soul alone can know.
 Them "never mind!"
 Iris better so. And when shall come that day of last

 Will be for, "other things" that He has seen. So never mind!" Phoenix, Ariz. IN. R. B..

took thirty"five years to build the
structure, and it cost nearly four
million dollars, which was secured by
small tax on coal. The Whisper
ing Gallery in this building is one OF
the ouriosities in the church. 1t is
hundreds of feet above the ground
floor, in the dome, and is reached by
flight of steps. In this gallery the
slightest whisper can be heard $50
feet away, and in it the clapping of
door resounds like a discharge of
artillery or clap of thunder. The
Geometriosl Staircase in this build
ing, and which hangs without any
visible support, is another curiosity.
This great building stands as an en-
during monument to the skill of it's
distinguished architect, Christopher
Wren. There is a very appropriate
inscription in the building to the
memory of Wren, written in Latin,
the latter part of which is as follows !:
"Reader, do you seek his monumentp
Look around %
I was glad to be in the West
minister Abbey again, even for a
few minutes; for here one feels,
"Where'er we tread, tits haunted,
holy ground" There are 80 many
things of interest in this building
that one could spend months here to
advantage. The Kings and Queens
of England are crowned in this
building, and here many of earth's
great and good men are buried and
honored. / saw the rude and simple
chair in which Engiand's monarchs
are crowned. This chair is kept
in the chapel of Edward, the
Confessor, and is 600 years old.
The chair looks like it had
passed through some rough ex-
periences. Under the seat of this
chair and fastened to it is the Stone
of Destiny, as it is called. There
are many traditions connected with
this stone, some of which are not
true. 1t is claimed by some that
this is the stone upon which Jacob
rested his head while at Bethel on
the memorable night of his wonder
full dream. This is simply tradition,
but the stone has remarkable his
tory which is reliable. All the rulers
of Scotland were crowned over this
stone from the twelfth century, till it
was taken by Edward / to England.
All the rulers of England since that
time have been crowned over that
stone. / believe it has never been
carried out of Westminster but once
since that time, and that was when
Oliver Cromwell took it across the
street that he might be crowned
Lord Protector over it. Our guide
told us that this rude, rough chair is
never adorned when used for corona
tion occasions.
was sitting in the Abbey to rest
awhile and was looking at a plan of
the floor of the building and I saw
the name of Annie Neville (wife of
Richard IID marking her resting
place under the floor, and asked
the guide where tai particular spot
was. He pointed down to the floor
and said, "There it is." I was al
most in the very spot of her burying
place. By the way, the nsme

w. M. Tunstall, of Lovingst0n, Va. says: "I

like the church of the Strangers in
New York. l was agreeably sur
prised to see as good church as
they have. 1t is a fine church. OF
course it does not come up to one of
the big cathedrals, but it reflects
credit on the American congregation
that worship there. DR.. Thrusher,
the pastor, preached good sermon,
full of Gospel truth, on the text,
zone thing thou lackest." There
are great many Americans in Paris
all the time and this church furnishes
them place for worship. The con-
gregation was composed of good
looking and well-to-do-looking peo-
pie. Last night attended the Nc
Call mission. The service was con-
Quoted in the French language,
which, of course, ! could not under
stand. But having Heard 80 much
of this mission and the work done
by it, was anxious to attend one of
their services. 1 was disappointed
in the congregational was very
small, only prayer meeting attend
ance. But the minister who con-
Quoted the service seemed to be very
much in earnest.
After l finished my last letter, and
before left Geneva, visited the
church in which John Calvin
preached and sat in his chair. I also
visited his grave, over which spruce
pine casts its shadow. There is a
simple stone there about a foot
square, projecting itself few inches
above the ground, with the letters
81. c." on top of it. What a humble
monument to such great man !
But is it not fortunate after all I? He
needs no monument Of granite, or
marble. or brass to perpetuate his
character and life. He erected his
own monument while he lived and
thie monument has been growing
ever since and will continue to grow
till the end of time. Our ride from
Geneva to Paris was the longest we
have had on the railway on this side.
We were on a fast train and it took
lis nearly ten hours to make the
journey. The lands through France
do not seem to be as good as those
in England, Germany and Scotland,
and you don't see the beautiful and
magnificent scenery here that you do
in the other countries. / hated very

l could not restrain the feeling that
the time was propitious for the ad-
vent of another Wesley into the

the service intoned the prayers, as it
is called.S l am exceedingly fond of
good singing, but ] must say that
this sample was very poor. The

the whole performance seemed to me

buildings the effect was very satisfy

London certainly has her share of
the interesting things of this world.
Let us look for a moment at
another side of London. Go with
me to Smithfield market. This, /
suppose, is the largest meat market
in the world. 1t is said to cover ten
acres of land, and in the morning
this whole territory is studded with
beeves, sheep, hogs, ETC., hanging
close together, just enough space left
for walks through the market. Just
think of it, ten acres of meat! This
meat is sold during the day and CAR
ried away in carts, wagons and trains,
till late in the afternoon very little
of it is left. 1t takes an immense
amount of meat to supply the people
of London. The city draws from
many countries, only about one-third
of what she receives being home
raised. London receives each year
100000 cwts. of beef and 100000
cwts. of mutton. Her supply of fish
is immense. AT Billingsgate market
10000 tons are disposed of each
year. She receives and distributes
44,000,000 sacks of flour and 100000
600 bushels of wheat. / believe the
most of this wheat is made into -four
in London. London's supply of eggs,
butter and cheese is immense.
The longer you stay in London
the bigger does it seem to get. 1t is
almost impossible to grasp the vol
ume of travel in the city. In 1902
over 8S7,o00,000 passengers were
conveyed over $4,000 miles of rail
way. All kinds of public convey

1t was mentioned in these columns
4 couple of weeks ago that a young
and an old Italian came to blows at
MOnonsah because TIE young man
kept walking past the old mans
house and making faces at him. The
old man whipped him and then Mayor
Showalter fined the young man in the
bargain. 1885,
Since that time the young man has
been thrashiEg tie old one about seven
and one-half times per week. This
has become rather annoying to the
latter and he swore out peace war
rant before Justice Amos, of this
city. Constable Jones went after TIA
young man but found him in the Mo-
nonSah Jail. He who answers to the
illustrious name of Antonio Bassanio
will be tried at Monongah police
court this evening and afterwards will
be brought here to answer tie charges
and perhaps be bound over to keep
the peace.
