The Crystal Palace, that colossal
structure of glass and iron. for years
the pride Of Britain. has gone the way
of all famous things that outlive their
original purpose. Time was when no
table visitors to the Court of St. James
never failed to see this magnificent
building. or late scientific and patri-
otic gatherings there have given way
TO popular amusements in the hope
that the property might be preserved.
But the march of population is power
full. Suburban additions have been
erowding closer and closer TO the ia
nous landmark. And so have the
financial obligations. Lord Plymouth,
generous and patriotic saved Crystal
Palace from foreclosure by buying il
for 250,000 pounds sterling.
The British people received the
Crystal Palace appeal with apathy.
The London Times took up the fight
and petitioned for the preservation of
Crystal Palace. King George. Queen
Mary, and the queen mother contribu-
ted handsomely. The Times also gave
6 5000 to the cause. and now it seems
that the Crystal Palace with its beau
tiful parks and lawns, is to be pre-
served as a pleasure ground for the
use of the British people. The Crys-
tai Palace is not a beautiful building
In the accepted sense of the word, but
It has great associations. It is a me-
mortal Of a great era. The large
building has countless uses. Nowhere
else is there so much floor space for
exhibitions and festivals. AS for the
grounds, they are nobly placed and
to look from high terraces on a clear
day is TO behold a glorious paLorama.
The glamor Of the great exhibition Of
I 1851 still clings to the palace. In
those days men, in spite of the sor-
rowful memories of the Crimean war,
were hopeful of belief what Prince
Consort Albert had anticipated that
the enormous exhibition building was
token Of a new era of civilization
in which a stimulating industrial com
petition would be a telling expression
of the strife Of nations" That illu-
sion has passed and so has the Vic
torian vision of the future Of the pal
ace with its classes and lectures and
I halls illustrative of history, and sculp-
ture and models serving as a national
| home of culture. But as the grounds
must henoeforth be used chiefly for
pleasure. there is a suggestion that
miniature England should be con-
structed there. Il might cover a half
dozen acres or more. Even If q GER
tain distortion Of some features we're
necessary TO make it possible to wan
! der over the fence of miniature Eng
land. the essential appearance of that
4 country. with its marvellous variety
and distinct belts of geological and
botanical characteristics, might be re-
vealed.

following an investigation Of assistant
engineer of the L. S. Engineer Depart
ment G. w. Miller. of Wilmington,
who found that the mouth of the
river was not of sufficient size TO per
init the waters to run into IT and this

that thirty feet of the ietty has been

AS a young girl Queen Alexandra's
great ambition was to be an actress.
Her beauty her perfection of manner,
her large voice, tended to encourage
her in attaining her ideal. She secret
ly studied the great playwrights at a
late hour when she was supposed to
be in bed. and she. with her two sis
ters. Dagmar and Thyra, arranged
amateur theatricals. Alexandra insist
ing upon playing the part of the hero
inc. Being the eldest. her sisters,
surrendered their monopoly to her.
She is said to have evinced consider
able talent, especially in character
portrayal AS soon as her mother,
Queen Louise of Denmark, found that
Alexandra was stealing the hours of
her sleep studying Goethe and mani
Testing more than an amateurish pro-
pensity for the stage she banished
theatricals from the castle. Instead of
becoming one of the queens of the
stage, she became Queen of Great
Britain.
From his very earliest childhood
King Georges great ambition was to
be a sailor The fascination of sea life
fired his ambition. made all the great
er by the fact that he used to sit
on his mothers knee and listen 70
stories Of the Vikings for hours. Be-
fore he was in his teens he knew,
from Queen Alexandras lips. the
story Of every big sea fight Fuel
was also added to the fire Of the
Kings ambition by the Rev. w. Lake
Anslow. a rector Of Sandringham and
naval instructor to the Kings uncle,
the Duke of Edinburgh. Until the
death of the Duke of Clarence, King
George was able TO satisfy his ambi-
ton, though when he became heir to
the throne his naval career was cut
short
The youthful Prince of Wales had a
very curious ambition when a boy.
Awed by the prowess of the mounted
police at the second jubilee of Queen
Victoria, he announced his intention
of becoming a policeman when ne
grew up. as the soldiers he had watch
ed at drill seemed poor creatures In
comparison. His great ambition now
adays is to be a great traveller, and to
visit the British Empire beyond the
seas
Princess Mary has one ambition
which has been intensified by her broth
er's recent ascent in an airship. Avia-
tors are the chief heroes of the Young
princess. and she rs credited with pos

about their achievements, the type OF
machine each favors, their methods OF

MORE IMPORTANT
MEASURE DEAD

While much of the important legis-
lation of the 1913 session has been
disposed of, number of interesting
measures remain on the calendar for
final consideration tomorrow. Among
these are house, bill 20, the direct
primary law: H. B. 265, the Hawaiian
fair bill, and the general appropria-
ton, or budget.
Final reports from one or two COM
mittees were received this morning.
One, coming from the finance, return
ed sixty-four resolutions and twenty
one petitions, sending them back In
bulk and recommending that all be
condemned TO the same fate-the
pigeonhole. The report was adopted.
Many of these related to subjects
on which the legislature has taken
action, by incorporation in the budget
or by separate enactments.
One Of the features OF the mornings
work was the death of the proposed
Blue Sky law, incorporated in Sena-
tor Bakers S. b. los. A similar bill,
the last of the session: to be intro
duced in the house, offered by Repre-
sentative Spalding, was tabled when
the senate document appeared. The
finance committee recommended, how
ever, that the matter Of protection of
investors from wildcat mining and
other stock statesmen be given consid-
Grafton by the senate hoid-over com
mittee, with a view to commencing
the enactment of a similar law two
years hence. The principal reason for
rejecting the present bill was that sur
ficient time could not be found for q
careful analysis of the measure before
the close of the session.
1t also became certain this morning
that workingmen's compensation leg
islation is dead, for the next two
years. Three measures handling the
matter directly as workmen's compen-

they were opposed to the bill, as the
increases of wharf fees proposed by
the commission would ultimately have

harbor commissioners were present

passage of the bill. The measure will
give the commission general power
