Tnh1ct 10 Charles Lamb.

a tablet has just been placed on a Lon
don house in memory of Charles Lamb
The account Of the difficulties met with
by the authorities in their attempts to
find a proper place to erect it, that is.
some house where Lamb really lived, is
most entertaining Il was commonly sup
posed that the house was 19 Colebrook
row, but in a curious and none too ro-
mantle way it was discovered this was
not the case. The old sewer rate books
were consulted; no Lamb had paid rates
In ColebrOok row, So at last the right
house has been found, and tablet has

The Baghdad Railway.

The building of the Baghdad Railway
Is strongly urged by the noted traveller.
Mark Sykes, 81 account of recent
journey in northern Mesopotamia, pub
lished tn the Geographical Journal for
October He says that it viii not only
put an end 10 the ceaseless intertribal
warfare between the Kurds and Arabs.
but it will change the nomads into cuI-
tivators Of the soil The leading Kurdish
Chieftains in the region through which
it will pass are eager for il. One of
them said TO him: when the railway
comes we shall he very rich. 1 shall
bring all my people down here; the gov
ernment will be forced to protect them:
and We may build perhaps 800 villages. '
The truth Of this statement is proved by
what is taking place in the country
around Aleppo, since its increasing size
and prosperity has made il necessary to
bring the Bedawin under control. Ten
years ago the sixty-mile tract between
that city and the Euphrates was practic-
ally an uninhabited desert. Last year
Mr.. Sykes passed over it and never left
cultivated land until he was within two
hours ride of the river In another
district fifty-six new villages have
sprung up in the last three years, show
ing that all that Is needed for the re-
generation Of the country is the prOteC-
ton of the peasant farmer.

about a worker on the electrical tower at

Kirk Munro, the well-known writer or

Europe and dropping into Harpers' the
other day, told a story which should Off

juvenile fiction and its dangerous re-

was standing on deck watching the lug

his elbow, both of them scanning the

Munro caught sight Of a trunk, and said

Autos and Architecture.
In the course Of an interesting article
i'm the Special Automobile Number OF
HaTper's Weekly entitled The Domesu-
cation OF the Automobile" the author
Marius c. Krarup. has some significant
things 70 say concerning what ne terms
a financial and architectural movement
of much significance. He points out that
In order 10 meet contemporary conditions
In such large modern cities as New yoTk
and Chicago. a change must be made in
the manner Of housing private automo-
biles. 1t is no longer convenient or de
sirable to house the privately owned
motor car IN public garages. and con-
siderations Of space make it almost i'm
possible 20 erect private garages FOR theiI
accommodation. therefore, he points out
there is nothing 90 do but make a do
nestle pet OF the machine and take il
into the home itself The d0mesucatior
Of the automobile. he says. while i'm it,
self an architectural problem, II solved
acceptably as such. solves other problem,
also, and holds some pretty surprises oi

OF the stables and garages for more prot
liable uses. and especially for that class
Of homes or apartment buildings now
