FAST DECAYING TRADE
Great Shipbuilding Firm of Yarrow
G Co. to Leave London
Soon
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-The once -four
ishing but now decaying trade of
Thames shipbuilding is about to re-
ceive another serious blow by the
transferenCe of the large works of
Messrs. Yarrow & Co. from Millwall to
the north.
A spirit of despair entered hundreds
of homes in the Isle of Dogs when Mr..
Narrow's definite decision to leave the
island for either Tyneside or the Clyde
became known yesterday.
The firm has for some years been
contemplating removal to the north,
where the cost of shipbuilding is APP
preciably lower than i'm London, and
the loss some months ago of d large
contract from the Austrian govern
ment owing to the determination of
the firms men not to accept less than
time and Il half for the necessary
night work. has compelled Messrs. Var
row to decide upon leaving the Thames
and spend about 100000 on their new
yard.
The blow will fall heavily on many
Workmen's homes in Poplar, where the
strain of a 12S rate is proving almost
inSupportable.
The firm employs 1900 men, and it is
estimated that the removal will direct
ly affect between 5000 and 1000 men,
women and children. 1t is probable
that a proportion of the best of the
skilled workmen will be transferred to
the north, but the number who will
find themselves unemployed will al
most certainly exceed 1000
This will involve Il loss in wages of
not less than 100000 year, and some
thing like ruin to many of the small
shopkeepers in the Isle of Dogs.
The cost of shipbuilding on the
Thames is calculated as being 10 per
cent. more than on the Tyne, largely
owing to the fact that both the coal
and the steel plates have to be brought
from the north.
Messrs. Yarrow's removal will reduce
the number of large Thames shipbuild-
ing firms to tWo-the Thames Iron
works at Blackwell and Messrs.
Thornycrofts at Chiswick. Since the
latter firm purchased a yard at Wool
ston, near southampton, they have
been transferring by degrees the build
ing of larger boats and repair work to
the southern port, and reserVing their
works at Chiswick for doing small ma
rne, engine, motor car and wagon and
general work.
The history of the past thirty years
or more has been one of steady decline
in Thames shipbuilding, due to the re-
placement of wooden ships by ships of
iron ana steel. which can be more
economically built in the coal and iron
districts of the north.
Famous firms, like those of Samuda' s
and Scott Russell's-the builders of the
Great Eastern-have disappeared be-
fore the competition of the Tyne and
the Clyde, and the extinction of ship
building on the Thames is prophesied
as inevitable.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-When Mrs. John
w. Mackay takes up her residence at
Carleton House Terrace next year
there will be quite a transformation in
her magnificent dining room, as sne
has bought a complete set of tapes
tries which exactly fit all the panels.
They are of great interest and of quite
unusual kind, as well as being of very
great value. The tapestries originally
hung in the winter palace of st. Pc
tersburg, but after the death of Cath
crime the Great and the troubles that
ensued in the next reign, they were,
it is supposed, stolen. Eventually they
fell into the hands of King Gustave
Adolphus of Sweden, and have been
in possession of the Swedish royal
family until quite recently when they
came into the market.
The coloring is very beautiful and
uncommon, the groundwork being Gin
namon, with effective scenes upon
them as well as garlands of brilliant
flowers. A quarter of million dollars
is the price Mrs. Mackay paid, which
experts declare to be cheap.

GOLDEN ANKLETS A FAD
English Women Are Using Ancient
Symbols of Slavery as
Ornaments
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-The anklet, after
hundreds of years, has returned to
favor, and is to grace the slender ankle
of the belle of today.
The modern anklet resembles the
plain gold band first worn as a sign
of bondage
Being a slave no more, woman, as is
her habit, is only too glad to play with
the symbol of slavery, provided the
symbol is becoming. Therefore, the
anklet graces the foot of the girl who
wants TO be just a little more than
merely up to date.
Oriental anklets are much in demand,
and in many instances these are sup
piled with hinge and clasp and slip
round the foot easily.
Some of the new anklets are the tin
lest gold bands inscribed with ancient
charms, said to defend the wearer from
all diseases and from evil of every
kind.
Other anklets are made of precious
stones strung together, and scarcely
show through, so fine and small are
they.
Phoenician glass or beaten gold
anklets carved in hieroglyphics are
very popular, and will probably be
worn at winter dances.

SPELLING BEE REVIVED
1t Comes, However, in More Com.
plicated Form Than the
OriuinaI
pecial Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Nov. 25.-Now that winter
has set in in earnest 1t appears that the
progressive spelling bee, which has
been out Of sight and out OF mind for
years, has made its temperance as
social pastime, but 1t is a spelling
bee in a new and more complicated
form, and one which offers greater op-
portunities for the exercise OF ingenuity
and resorce than were provided by the
old form of the game.
In the new game, which is known as
the double demon spelling bee, the
novel point is that each player, when
1t comes to his or her turn, has the op-
tion Of either affixing or prefXInE a let
ter and this opens up all SORTS of new
opportunities. Thus, in case where
the fifth player had to continue the let
ters IS l f." he would he able to get
out of his difficulty by p'efxing the
letter "a" thus turning the growing
word in the direction of "mastlff."
Some people display great ingenuity
in playing double demon and discover
all sorts of unexpected ways out of
difficulties. Thus the other day n well
known lady had to continue the let
ters IS a l." She might have added
another "l'' and continued the word in
the direction of scallop, but the next
player, happening to be a conservative
politician, she had the happy idea of
prefixing the letter "l' to IS u l."
and the gentleman, to every ones
amusement, was so appalled, by the
imminence of the dreaded word fiscal
that he overlooked his means of es-
cape, which lay in prefixlng the letter
''m" and diverting the same toward the
WUrG ''miScall"

LONDON, Nov. 23.-There are signs
that the era of skyscrapers before long
Will begin in London. At present there
is a fatal bar to its introduction. The
county council building act which pro-
hibits such structures says that no
building may be erected in London Of
a greater height than eighty feet, with
two extra stories In the roof making
the limit roughly about 100 feet.
Advocates Of skyscrapers or steel
frame buildings hold that this is a re-
striction which was we'll enough in the
days of masonry, but absurd in the
days Of steel

the skyscraper in America, and Is con-
vinced that It Is bound to come to Lon
don.
Thwaite states that there is a grow
ing professional opinion in favor of the

suggestion for Introducing the sky
scraper in the guise of tower is made
by the Builders Journal. and It has
an additional interest from the fact
that 1t comes within the scope of the

asks, and II foreshadows London as a
city Of towers reaching to about the
height of the Campanile or Westmin-
ster cathedral.
On inquiry at the office Of the Build
ers' Journal It was stated that the idea
was to construct towers on the steel
frame principle. which is more econom-
ical and gives more space than the ma
sonry building. The ideal tower build
ing, II was suggested, would consist
of four lofty square towers, standing
apart, but connected by narrow necks
with central tower, which would con-
tain a staircase and lifts.
This plan. 1t was argued. would Sc
cure light and air to every part of the
building and would thus be superior
to the American plan of skyscraper
in which the lower rooms in the lnte-
rior of the large buildings have to de-
pend on artificial light
A great argument in favor of such
offices in towers is that 1t would help
TO relieve the pressure on space which
is growing greater in the center of
London every year Instead of build
lngs of seven or eight stories there
could be office towers of sixteen or
twenty and more. Business people
could be accommodated in the given
area with as much light and air as
now. There is no doubt. it was stated.

terprise in the building trade. But for

ENGLAND'S POOR
ARE SUFFERING c
COMING OF WINTER MEANS
SORE DISTRESS
Queen Alexandra Starts a Relief Fund
With $4,000, and Many other
Subscriptions Have Already
Been Raised
specIal cable 10 The Herald.

Special Cable TO The Herald.
LoNDC D., Nov. 25.--If this is to be
a severe winter, it is evident there will
be more suffering among the poor than
ever has been known. The unem-
poyed over the whole country have
been desperate for long time now,
as they see no prospects Of work, and
the London employed are driven mad
by the proposals of Yarrows and other
firms to remove their works from the
Thames, owing to the heavy taxes
they have to pay nowadays toward
what they call the London county
councils extravaganza"
To alleviate the distress, Queen Alex
andra has started a fund with a sub
ecription of $4,000. Calling down the
blessings OF the poor on her majesty's
head, this fund has already swelled to
considerable proportions, but the ques-
tion now arising which is troubling the
minds of those whose duty 1t would
be to administer the relief is, How is
this to be done?
The queen first announced that she
meant this to be n fund for the un-
employed of London and the suburbs,
but when the report spread. what was
the result? Crowds of miserable people,
great majority of them Of the most
undesirable character, have been pour
ing into London. Consequently the
queen had 1t announced that the fund
should be for unemployed of the whole
country, but the mischief had been
done, and still they come, for they
think they will get a share Of this fund
sooner by coming to London than by
remaining in their own places.
A large sum has been contributed to
the fund from the stock exchange, not
withstanding the poor business that is
being done there.
Turning from the pathetic to the hu-
morous, the latest stock exchange
catch has been in some instances
strangely effective. A broker, putting
three sovereigns in the palm of his
hand, says to a jobber, Now look
here How many sovereigns do you
see?" Three" replies the jobber.
