FAMOUS MAKER OF MODELS
He Constructed in Miniature the Whole
of London

From the Strand Magazine.
The leading maker of models in Eng
land is Mr.. John B, Thorp, and his toy
land of a workshop is in Gray's Inn
Road. Lest you conceive the idea of
modern Caleb Plummer, let me describe
the model maker. Originally, Mr.. Thorp,
who is still young man. devoted him
self to the profession of an architect,
but the best laid plans are not always
profitable, and being of studous dis
position, he commenced researches into
the history of old London He himself
discovered fascination in the work and
conceived the idea of reconstructing the
most historic portions of the capital. 1t
was merely to crafty within that he re-
built, In miniature. old London Bridge
but friend to whom it was shown was
of more practical turn of mind. why
not construct the whole of the more in
teresting portions of London?' he said
1.-The average Londoners love of the
capital Is such that a model, when re-
hplete with panoramic equipment, would
bring him from far and near to see it,
The models of old London which were on
view at the Franco-British exhibition in
1908 were the result. The prophecy of
the friend was more than fulfilled. The
receipts during the exhibition amounted
to no less than $4,000. But these models
of old London represented prodigious Ia
Dor and patience that 1t is given to few
men to possess. Every detail in the
structure was historically correct. Years
and years were devoted to q search In
dusty archives, and II anyone Is now
thoroughly conversant with the history
and romance of the greatest capital In
the world, that person is Mr.. Thorp.
Especially were the Americans interest
ed in the work, and one gentleman from
across the Atlantic opened his check
book with an expressive gesture. THE
exhibition as it Stood" said Mr.. Thorp,
might have been sold thousand times,
but when a man has devoted many years
of his life to the construction of any
thing, the affection that springs up is
high above price" Queen Alexandra was
one of the most interested visitors to the
exhibition. and the six-pence which her
majesty paid at the turnstiles for admis-
sion is treasured souvenir.

ing himself astride along the scorchinr
boiler when suddenly the engine struck
curve, which 1t took at terrific speed.
The shock half threw the engineer from
MS perilous position, but he saved him

worked himself down along the uniniured
side of the swaying locomotive to where
he could open one of the principal steam
