To certain number of English
speaking persons, especially to a
certain or uncertain number. and
not small number, of American
tourists of historical or anti
quarian turn of mind, the news that
Crosby Hall is to be preserved will
be very welcome. AL London had
given 1t up for lost. The County
Council had made efforts to preserve
1t. But those efforts were report ID
to have failed. The oldest house in
London looked fated to fall before
the march of improvement. II
Crosby Hall had been a French
building of the same antiquity and
OF equally valuable historical asso-
Citations, 1t would have been secure.
The government would have alb
sorbed It and guarded It as a "hls-
torical monument" Another proof
that, in Sterne's phrase, "they ord r
these matters better in France"
But the fate of Crosby Hall, un-
der a reign of individualism, has
not thus far been so gloomy. An
snterprising eating house keeper
saw its sentimental possibilities, had
1t restored at large expense, and,
with complete scholarship and skill,
with more of those qualifications
than of taste, the scorner may say,
set out to make of It lunchlng
place for Londoners of the city, and
Mecca for the American pilgrim,
where he could consume a chop or
cut from the joint, after the
modern British use. The American
pilgrim availed himself of his
privileges in considerable numbers
and for many years. How could he
not do so? A house which was the
only specimen left in London of the
fifteenth century English Gothic, a
house which entedated the discovery
of America by a full generation, a
house celebrated by Shakespeare in
Richard Ill.," and authentically re-
stored to its pristine splendor, how
could not the sensitive and culti-
waited American submit himself to
British cookery on such a spot?
To all such lovers of the common
past Of Old and New England IL was
shock to learn that Crosby Hall
must 60" 1t will be a correspond
ing relief to them to learn that Cros-
by Hall need not go. At the meet
ing OF the London Court of Common
councils a fortnight ago It was an
nounced that by the efforts of pri-
vate enterprise, assisted by most OF
the learned societies, 1t seemed ia
be feasible to effect an exchange OF
sites by opening a new street in the
labyrinthine tangle of the neighbor'
hood. This possibility was hailed
by the members of the court, ant
enthusiastically referred to the ap
proprlate committee. II would real
ly be a reproach to London II the
demolition of this monument were
not nrevented New York Times.

The Limit of Life.

period, that determines It's duration,
seems to be between so and so; the
