the National Memorial window -
John Bunyan in the north transept OF
Westminster Abbey has been com
pleted and it will be unveiled to the
public on January % The memorial
10 the inspired tinker" was designed
by j. n. Cowper and executed at a
cost Of $4,000, raised By subscriptions
from admirers of Pilgrims Prog
ress.' The success of the project has
been mainly due, however, to the
Baptist community, on whose behalf
the memorial will be handed over to
The Dean and Chapter.
/ The window. designed on two sec
tons, illustrates scenes from Bun
vans immortal dream. 1t is illun!-
mated by four lights In each section
and headlight above. The window
IS the first tribute of any Importance
in London to the memory of Bunyan,

London's system Of tube railways
Twill be increased by n diminutlve
underground railroad which will be
used exclusively for the transport of
mail matter,
The tube as planned will be seven
feet six inches in diameter, providing
space for two tracks of two-foot
gauge. Motor vans instead of loco
motives with trailers will be used to
admit of reversal without the neces-
sity of loops of shunting. 1t is ex-
pected that the line will relieve the
congestion OF London traffic, which
is increased by the large number of
mail vans now in use.
AS the result of a recent decision
in the House OF Lords the English
people have awakened to the fact
that they have no fishing rights in
the fresh water of their country. The
situation has raised storm of pro-
test that is expected to result in
remedial action by the present gov
ernment,
The decision was made as the re-
suit of appeals in cases concerning
the use of the waters of the River
wye and Tough Neagh.
The right" which the Wye fisher
men believed they held was given to
the warden in some early day, and no
Riparian owner had ever disputed II
or claimed the right to exclusive fish
ing. Now the supreme court of the
land has declared that the right does
not exist and the decision is SO sweep
ing that 1t covers all of the streams
and lakes of the United Kingdom.
