bright plaything for summer holidays
is London river, but crowded road
OF empire, the turbid thoroughfare of
seaport great and ancient.
Much of this commerce Is hidden
from the casual eye because the ship
ping is scattered along twenty-five
miles of the stream. In the heart of
the city itself the waterfront contains
so many stretches of archaic pic
turesque dilapidation and such COM
polling associations with a stored past
1nat Ellzabethan England is rather
suggested than the age of steel and
steam and the wireless telegraph.
There is 10 line of modern quays
and wharves, no spacious harbor. The
river Is a great deal too small for it's
traffic and large ships must seek the
inland docks dug out of the fiat land
scape far below London.
The coastwise craft and steamers
trading with the ports of Europe hud-
die In the Upper and Lower pool from
London bridge to the reach on the
seaWard side of Tower bridge, or
moor beside dingy warehouses that
lip the tide, or are tucked away in Sc
cluded, obsolete basins behind walls
and tenements where you would never
dream of looking to find anything
at1oat. 1t is this antiquated part Of
maritime London which can be seen
in glimpses from the bridges or the
embankment, the close-packed steam
ers painted in many colors, the drift
ing barges, the agile tugs and over all
a haze, blended of smoke and mist,
which softens and mellows without
concealing.

which the rare or fragile plants, the
exotic trees, such as the rose laurels,
the pomegranate and orange trees,

CALL THAMES LONDON RIVER
Sailors See Stream That swiris Up
From Sea-UnI'ke That Which
Flows Through Country.

London.-The Thames that most of
us know, says Ralph D. Paine, in
Scribner's Magazine, is toy river in
. fair country Of lawns and meadows
wonderfully green, of gray manor
houses and parks Of ancient oaks,
where the levels between the locks
are crowded with skiffs, punts and
small pleasure steamers and every
nook and blight of shaded shore has
Its picnic party. This is astonish-
1ngly unlike the Thames that sailors
know. Where it meets the brown tide
which swirls up from the sea, they
call it London river, and as such it
was famed in their chanties when
the Yankee packets were storming
across the Atlantic and the tall East

What really did happen July of that year
OF years was the final adoption of draft of the
form of announcing the fact to the world" that
independence had been decreed two days before
Jefferson had written this draft in his Philadel-
ph1a apartments, consisting Of ready-furnished
parlor and bedroom in the new brick house of
Hyman Gratz at the southwest corner of Seventh
and Market streets, ION the outskirts of the city,
The Penn national bank, occupying the site
of this dwelling. is in the very business heart of
Philadelphia
Jeffersons disgust at the changes made in his
draft is described by Mr.. Michael The Cont
mental Congress struck out the language charg-
Ing the king with melting Unreasonable insured
lions with out fellow-ctizens," by promising them
confscated property; with carrying the slave
trade and refusing to allow American legislatures
to suppress it. While these and many other
clauses were being stricken out Of his draft "Jef-
ferson sat in his seat without raising his voice in
defense of his own work, Notwithstanding he
wr1thed in agony as he saw some of his most
cherished paragraphs and sentences eliminated
from the document" The historian, John Adams,
otherwise critic Of the Declaration, complained
that some Of the drafts best parts particularly
that indcting the king for continuing the slave
trade should not have been stricken out. yet
it will be we'll to remember" Mr.. Michael says,
that Georgia and South Carolina were both car
rying on the slave trade at this time energet-
ically as they were able, and other colonies had
ridiculous to arraign the king for doing the same
thing"
After very heated discussions Of this form OF
announcing Congress real stroke of indepen-
dence, July 2-discussions which kept indie
pendence Hall, Philadelphia, in whirl of ex-
citement throughout the next two days-thts
form OF announcement the Declaration Of indie
pendence was adopted on the night of July 4. At
the close of that evenings session Charles Thorn
son, secretary Of the Continental Congress, went
to the shop Of John Dunlay, the official printer,
and had the corrected draft set up. Copies of this
first "broadside print" were sent to the assem-
bites, conventions and councils of safety through
out the colonies and to the commanding officers
OF the Continental troops. It is probable that It
was one of these printed copies bearing the
names Of Hancock and Thomson only, that
George Washington ordered proclaimed at the
head Of the Continental regiments
But the Original Declaration" which all pil-
grims to Washington formerly gazed upon in awe
and reverence, was not ordered written for more
than two weeks after that long but unjustly hal
lowed July 4. On July 10 Congress ordered that
the Declaration be fairly engrossed on parch-
ment," and that "the same, when engrossed be
signed by every member Of Congress" Some
time within the next two weeks the beautiful PEN
work which Thousands Of Americans have since

What has happened to the famous Declaration
since it's signing is recounted by Mr.. Michael. In
1885, Congress authorized "the secretary for the
department of foreign affairs" to take charge Of

of the Continental Congress. The same year the
department Of foreign affairs became the depart,

ly the vital point-the crucial juno
ture."
The real act of independence,
which Mr.. Michael has had repro
duced in fac-simile, was, then, the
Lee resolution, declaring:
THAT these united colonies are,
and Of right ought to be, free and
independent states; that they are
absolved from all allegiance to the
British crown, and that all political
connection between them and the
state OF Great Britain is, and ought
to be, totally dissolved"
Concerning the actual date of
the Declarations signing, Mr.. Mi
chael says: ''Mr. Jefferson in his
account states that all the mem
