For every other department of the gov

in his country for having provided for
the public service such creditable Struc-
lures But the judicial department of

End of All Trouble.

The leading story in our Sunday
Magazine tomorrow is THE Magic
Word" written by Frederick Van
Rensselaer, Dey, one Of the ablest and
most prolific authors known to Ameri-
can fiction. Mr. Dey has chosen lOr his
theme the search for and discovery of
the word that, followed by the dis
coverer, will bring health, wealth and
happiness-the end of all trouble and
misfortune. OF course, ii is obviously
impossible that there be such a word
of universal application. for each one
Of us must have his own magic word,
based on his experience and attitude
toward his fellow-creatures and the
conditions that surround him. But 1t
is not altogether a platitude that MIR.
Dey is giving, for there Is no question
that obedience to the teachings lying
hidden in his magic word would do
much to stop all the Ills of mankind.
The fact that he has made fiction the
medium for his discourse gives the
tale greater interest. 1t is an exceed
ingly odd and entertaining story.

Another Mansion House.

Among various rumors that have gained
currency during the past week as the re-
suit of the discussion in the court Of
common council is one suggesting the site
Of the old post office In ST. Martins-le-
Grand as a possible position for new
Mansion House. Another proposal is that
the present Mansian House should be sold
and that with the proceeds the property
adjoining the guild hall should be &C
quired, so that the lord mayors official
residence might be identified with the
scene Of so many historic events in civic
history.
AS a matter Of fact, neither proposition
has the smallest chance Of being seriously
considered. The question of the condi-
ton of the Mansion House has been re-
ferred to the general purposes committee
and 1t is expected that the utmost they
will be likely to recommend is certain
structural alterations. with a view to CIV
ing increased accommodation and bring
ing the sanitary arrangements up to date.

Lease of Mansion House Site.

Lease Of Mansion House Site.
A curious fact has come to light as a
consequence Of the proposal to build
new Mansion House in place Of the pres
ent rather inconvenient structure, in
which every lord mayor is compelled to
spend twelve months in constant fear Of
Illness and pay couple of hundred thou
sand dollars for the doubtful pleasure. 1t
appears that the site on which the Man
sion House stands does not belong to the
city of London, as is generally supposed,
but to the rector of ST. Mary Woolnoth.
Lombard street with which parish is COM
hined that of st. Mary Woolchurch-How-
The lord mayors official residence stands
partly on the site of the old Stocks mar
ket and partly on the site of the Church
of ST. Mary Woolchurch, which was
burned down in the fire of London, the
Venetian and Wilkes apartments and a
good portion Of the Egyptian Hall being
built on the actual ground formerly COW
cred by the church.
Shortly after the great fire the parish
was amalgamated with st. Mary Wool
moth. and when the Mansion House was
built the city OF London agreed to pay
the rector Of the combined parishes a sum
Of $50 a year as ground rent About
twenty years ago. when the present rector
entered on his charge, the city disputed
the nature of the annual payment, which
1t claimed was in the nature OF contri-
button to the upkeep of the church serv-
ices. The rector. however. insisted On
the receipt. specifying that the payment
was for rent, and after a we'll known
queens counsel had inquired into the dis
pute on behalf of the city, the rector won
the day, and now receives SO every half
year as ground rent for the site OF the
Mansion House, which is valued at the
present time at about 31, 10000.
The splendid possession, however. is
never likely to be of any practical value
to the rector Of st. Mary Woolnoth. mas
much as the city has perpetual lease Of
the site; so that it is presumably at lib
erty, II It likes. to pull down the Mansion
House and rebuild it elsewhere and make

Fish in Some Parts.

1t must be remembered in this connec-
ton that 1t has always been firmly main
tanned by those who visited the Dead sea
and wrote treaties about IT long ago that
no fish of any kind can make their habitat
in any part OF it. and this long-estab-
lished belief was given the deathbloW

who visited the southern end of the lake
and discovered fish.
So 1t remains for the members of the
German expedition to arrive at the causes
which undoubtedly must be due to vary
ing conditions of chemical composition
of the water that make it possible for fish
to live In certain sections Of the lake and
not in others. and, in short. to find out
everything about this strange body of
water from scientific standpoints that is
worth knowing.
In order the better to facilitate its op-
erations the expedition has chartered

months with the proviso that at the OPP

Something Behind It ALP

What ultimate political or commercial
motives, II any. underlie the surface of
the enterprise time only can show.
This Is by no means the first attempt
made to explore the Dead sea region.
Indeed. the honor Of priority In this d.
rection belongs to the doughty Lieut.
w. F. Lynch OF the American navy, who
as early as the year IS4S spent consid-
cradle time in research and exploration
of that region at the expense OF the
American government and at great risk
to his person, for in those days facilities
for travel were of the crudest and peo-
pie did not know how to guard against
the ravages of malaria, to say nothing
of the predatory marauding Bedouin,
now under effectual control by the Turks
but who were then u lot of iawless, ag-
gressive bands.
Despite all these hardships and diff
cultieS Lieut.. Lynch was fairly success
full In taking measurements as well as
soundings of different parts of the lake.
To him. moreover, belongs the credit of
being the first man to travel in a little
boat from the Sea of Galilec down the
River Jordan to the Dead sea.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-12-30
Area $50 Square Miles.

According to the lieutenant's narrative,
the lake measures some fory-siX miles
from north to south and from six to
twelve miles east and west. Its total
surface area was, therefore. computed 10
be 80 square miles. Its greatest depth
was 1900 feet at it's northern end, and
its shallowest part being at its southern
extremity, varies from five to fifteen feet
only.
Indeed. so distinct were its deep and lis
shallow portions that Lieut.. Lynch de-
scribed its bottom as consisting of two
submerged pla ns, an elevated one at its
southern half averaging thirteen and a
depressed one at its northern end aver
aging 800 feet beneath the surface.
The lakes depression below sea level
is 1,312 feet and tropical climate makes
its temperature almost unbearable dur
ing certain seasons of the year.
