OBSERVATORY THREATENED.

Londons New Power Station Destroy
 ing Greenwich observatory's Useful ness.
 A surprising situation has developed recently at Greenwich Observatory, I England, which is, without question, one of the most important astronical stations of the world, due to the put ting in service near 1t by the London County Council of it's new power sta- tion The station is located exactly on the meridian, about mile south of the observatory, and although 1t at present has but small part of its complement 1 the entire equipment will have an out put of more than 50,000 horsepower. Already some disturbance has resulted 1 from the operation of certain generat- 1 ing units, and the observatory authori ties have brought the matter before Parliament, as they fear that when all the machinery is in place and running their instruments will become useless,
 The surprising feature of this situa- ton is that apparently no steps have been taken before to protect the obser-
 
 yatory. Application for authority to build the power house was made about four years ago, and when it was grant, ed as well as private interests, were safeguarded; yet the observatory the one institution most likely to be af feeted, seems to have been overlooked. and apparently it's officers did not real ize what was being done. Now they find not only that there is some vibra- ton, but that the two large chimneys of the power house, coming in the meri- dian, may possibly interfere twth the observation of transits, not only on ac- count of the chimneys themselves but because of the hot gases which will pour out of them.
 When this matter was up before Parliament 8 number of eminent states men and scientists spoke about the situation. Some suggested the sub sitution of steam turbines for the reel procating engines, others suggested cutting down the height of the chim- neys, but no definite conclusion was reached. It is probable that a commits sion, representing both the Government and the London County Council will examine the conditions thoroughly. In the meantime careful studies are being made of the station to see if 1t can be reaarranged so as to do away with the vibration. What the outcome will be cannot be said definitely, but even though the power house represents at the present time a value of about S2.- 100000 it is hardly probable that for this sum the disabling of the observa- tory will be allowed, and yet, under the conditions, it does not seem fair that the taxpayers of London county shouId be made to pay for the negligence of a department of the Government.-From the Electrical Review.

 We both remember yet Our dwelling was not costly,
 But yet my heart recalls That many bright vacations l spent within it's walls; Since then our patient mother Has crossed life's fitful sea; But you, my precious loved ones Have still been spared to me. God keep you, Sister Julia,
 And bless your birthday hours; Remove the clouds that gather And strew your path with flowers God spare you, Sister Carrie, Your health again restore, And bring us all to praise Him With dear ones gone before.

SEAS RAvAGEs AT MONT ST.


 English people who know Mont st. Michel-and there must be a great many now will be sorry to hear that it is in danger from the erosion of the sea. IL is the causeway built twenty years ago to connect the island rock with the mainland which is said to be the cause. It stops the flow of the tide which comes racing into the Bay of l Cancale as fast as horse can trot The flood, instead of passing freely round the island, spends it's cufbed | force ill a work of destruction. The Kings Tower, the bastion which comes down to the sea at the head of the causeway is, it is said, already under- mined and doomed. It is suggested that a piece of the causeway nearest the is- land. a hundred or two hundred yards in length, should be cut away and re- placed by bridge, so as to restore to the tide it's old freedom of passage. It was a thousand pities that this causeway was ever built. It was never really necessary; nobody ever got caught in the quicksands crossing to the island unless they wandered fool hardly away from the track, and if has taken away half the charm of Mont St. Michel. Not only is the island no | longer an island, but 1t has been vul- garized, turned into the common est of objects of 8 days excursion Brakes and motor cars cumber the causeway, and eating-house keepers touts badger one with loud-voiced re- commentators of their masters fare.
 It was very different in the old days before the causeWay. Mont St. Michel was then unsophisticated, confding and hospitable; Poularde's restau- rant was one of the best and cheap est in France. It was privilege to know madame the hostess, and to be allowed to watch her make an omelette in a Gargantuan saucepan over an im- mense wood fire in her tiny kitchen. Her visitors book then was filled with we'll known names, sketched by famous artists, and euIogistic verse by real poets. The only drawback to the serene joys of Mont St, Michel in those days ! was that. one had to remember every 1 thing that one ate or drank because Y Poularde apparently never booked any thing He trusted to his guests-they were guests, not customers telling ] him what they owed.
 A second danger also threatens Mont St. Michel not from the sea this time, but from the land. It has been found I that the immense sandy foreshore of Cancale Bay, reclaimed from the sea and fertilized with seaweed grows ex- 1 cellent vegetables, which are ready for 1 the London market even before the pro- duce of Jersey, and the "polders" of the thrifty Norman garuners are every year narrowing the space between Mont St. Michel and the mainland, threaten ing in time to change It's present sett- ting of yellow sand into green ,girdle of vegetables Paris correspondent, London Standard
