RESTORING CROSBY HALL
TAKEN FROM BISHOPSGATE
STREET TO CHELSEA.
Palace of Richard III May Be Seen
by Americans Who Have Regretted
Its Disappearance From City.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star


LONDON, June 3. 1910.
Thousands, probably hundreds OF
thousands. of Americans visited ole
Crosby Hall when it stood in the city
and many have since it's removal re-
GREETED missing it. Now. however
they will have chance of seeing
Richard HIS palace just as it used to
be, though in a new but historic place
The workmen have just finished put
ting together at Chelsea the stones
and timbers of the ancient hall which
were carted away from the city three
years ago. 1t has been rebuilt on the
strip of land where More had his gar
den and where Henry VIII used to
walk chatting with his arm about
Mores neck. Just now there is not
much of a garden look about the dusty
builders yard where the reconstructed
hall stands. and when you get inside 1t
takes time for you to realize that this
is really Crosby Hall. The delicate
gray stone looks new, and inevitably
so. for it was not possible to use much
of the crumbled old stone. The re-
constructors, like the restorers of the
west front of Peterborough Cathedral,
found that the old builders often used
fairly shoddy materials.
1t takes time to get used to seeing
the hall standing up high and alone
away from all the accretions that used
to keep it coy company in Bishops
gate street.
1t is now only a fragment of a pro-
jected university hall of residence. so
that there are ugly unfinished sides with
raw edges. The compensation is that In
it's new home the hall gets plenty of light
through its beautiful oriel window. A
heXagonal oak lantern has been put over
the roof, also a new feature. and there
is big dormer window which one does
not remember. Inside it looks very much
as 1t used to do. The lovely timber cell
ing seems much lighter, for they have
scraped off the dirt Of centuries, but
otherwise it has been fitted together,
numbered piece by numbered piece, ex-
actly as before.
1t was worth while saving Crosby Hall
for this exquisite roof alone. There are
new windows in the wall opposite the
minstrels' gallery, the wall which was
formerly blocked by buildings. The walls
have been left severely white and plain,
50 that the richness Of the oriel can be
fully enjoyed. There is wooden floor
instead of the old stone one. 1t is de-
lightful to think that the old place has
been rescued. but there is one regret.
1t seems pity that it could not have
been so placed as to be seen from the
riverside.

last week at klerksdorp for the purpose
Of exchanging views on a branch of agri-
culture which seems to offer almost un-
limited possibilities Of extension in this
lack of enthusiasm and practical interest
in the proceedings at Klerksdorp.
Speech of Gen. Botha.
They were opened In stirring speech
by Gen. Botha, who declared that he
hoped to see the Transvaal become "the
pacemaker of the British empire In agri-
cultural development" and called atten-
ton with approval to a recent prophecy
that the day was not far distant when
the Transvaal would produce 10000, 00(
bags Of maize In a season.
On the wall of the conference cham
Der was displayed a large chart. pre-
pared by the surveyor general of the
colony. which indicated belt of no less
than 16O,O00OOO acres as susceptible OF
dry-land cultivation on the high weld OF
South Africa. All the subsequent papers
and Observation-Disclosures in equal propor-
tons by the government experts al by
working farmers OF both races-kept NJ
the same high level Of optimism and
showed that the conference believed In

Africa is on the dry lands"
The method of dry farming adopted by
the Transvaal department OF agriculture

America and other countries. Is a very
simple one. and consists mainly in the use
Of moisture saving fallows with every

tillage. No manure of any sort is used

From the LOnuOn SlOpe
Both Italy and Switzerland are fortify-
ing the entrances of the Simplon tunnel
while in the tunnel itself engineers are
engaged in constructing mines and
strengthening those already in place. in
order to blow up the tunnel at mo-
ment's notice in the event of war. Near
the middle of the tunnel, a few yards
from the Swiss frontier, Italian engineers
have put in place a double iron door
which can resist the rush of an express
train travelling at sixty miles an hour.
The iron door is worked by electricity
from Iselle. the staten at the Italian end
