London's Bio Ben.

Why is the large bell In the tower
Of the house Of parliament In London
called Big Ben? The average London
er himself seems to have no idea how
II got its name. When the building
was designed Sir Benjamin Hall had a
great deal to do with carrying out the
plans Of the architects, being high
commissioner of public works, and his
coworkers appreciated the fact that to
him the city Of London was largely in
debted. SO when the question came
up In parliament as to the name Of the
enormous bell that was to be hung In
the tower a member shouted. why
not call 1t Big BenT' This suggestion
was received with much applause as
well as with roars of laughter. for Sir
Benjamin was an enormous man, both
in height ana girth. and had often been
called Big Ben. From that day on
the bell whose peal every Londoner
knows has been known only as Big
Ben.--Harper's Weekly.
