A Curious Structure.

On the road from Clifton downs to
Avonmouth the traveller will pass, in
the Avon gorge a curious structure to
which a singular tradition is attached,
relates the London Taller. The story
Is that a person named Cook about q
century ago was told by gypsy In the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by serpent before he reach
ed the age Of twenty-one. To avert
this he built a high tower and shut his
son in the topmost room with the in
tention of secludlng him there until the
fatal age was passed. However, by ac-
cident a viper was taken up i'm fagot
to the room to light the fire. and 1t
crept from the fagot and bit the boy
so that he died. Therefore the tower
was called Cooks Folly. and that Is its
name to this day, whatever is the true
explanation.
