these are Of transcendent his
torical interest, viz, the Tower,
Westminster abbey and Westminster
hall. When buildings have existed for
centuries. the natural feeling Is to take
1t for granted that they will live on for
centuries more. But this easy-going
faith has little foundation in fact, as
all who have the care Of ancient mon

fngs require constant attention and
frequent reparation: but a time comes
when something more is required, and
we often hear with dismay Of the fail

the country. Fortunately, owing to the
remarkable progress of practical sci.
ence. experts are ready to undertake
the renewal of the strength of these
foundations, II thier aid is not called
upon too late.
Great Timber Roof.
The thought Of any danger to the
wondrous building known to us as
Westminster hall, which was oroginal.
iy added to the palace of Westminster
by William Rufus, is a severe shock to
all who have seen its beauty and know
its remarkable history. 1t Is an abid-
ing record of most of the great events
OF history preserved In stone. Here
1t Is not the foundations that are at
fault The walls of Rufus hall were
raised on solid foundations and are
) sound, although the paving of the hall
was placed on Thames mud. 1t is the
grand timber roof. raised by Richard
H., that is decayed in parts, and
urgently needs repair. The roof has
sbeen partially repaired at various
times during its centuries of existence.
and 1t has always been carefully In
spected. Lately fears respecting its
condition have been aroused, and the
office Of works has published valu.
able report on the present condition
Of the structure. So far, this is as It
should be. The evil being recognized
In time. we may be sure that proper
means will be taken to place this no
BILE structure In safety for many years
to come. The glorious hammer roof
Is recognized as the finest example of
the Gothic open timber roof In exist
ence. and for this reason alone its
preservation Is duty of the most re-
sponsible character. In the construc.
ton Of this roof Irish oak (said to be
abhorrent to the spider) was used, and
the workmen employed In inspection
affirm that they have never seen a
spider among the rafters. Tom Fuller
refers to its "cobwebless beams" The
causes Of decay are: ~ The work OF
the beetle (or. rather, the larva of the
beetle or worm). which attacks the
wood; "only where the timber has
been honeycombed was there any de-
cided sign Of decay" showing holes on
the face of the beam. (2) Dry rot
found chiefly where the timbers have
been subjected to dampness. 1t has
attacked the wall posts. particularly
those at the northern end OF the hall
where they are embedded In the wall
and packed round with soft rubble.

WEST r1INSTER ABBEY

by the skilled carpenters who erected
the room. for originally a space was
left between the wall posts and the
wall to admit the free passage of air."
Much Of the timber has become of
rich golden brown, the result of de-
cay, but this is only on the outside,
and most Of the timber is hard and
sound. The principal rafters have
been extensively repaired at different
times, and at one period the trusses
were all systematically strengthened
by series of wrought-iron tie rods.
1t Is supposed that the larger portion
of the structure is sound. A thorough
examination of the whole by means of
an extensive scaffolding will be under.
taken. The report, already referred
to. contains description Of the con-
struction Of the roof which was car
ried out on scientific principles by the
skillful carpenters Of the end Of the
fourteenth century-the craftsmen
who stood at the head of the
"Wrights" of all classes, and bore the
honorable title of Wright pure and
simple.
A statement Of the dimensions of the
work is eloquent of the hugeness Of
the structure. "The span of West
minister hall is 6S feet inches. and
the opening between the ends of the
hammer beams is rs feet inches.
The hight from the paving of the hall
to the hammer beams is 40 feet; to the
under side Of the main collar beam
63 feet 6 inches, and to the apex of the
roof 92 feet"
History Little Known.
The early history Of Westminster is
interesting, but unfortunately we know
little certain about It. Sebert and the
associations of the ancient kings with
the place are rather shadowy, and we
have little to build upon before Ed.
ward the Confessor. When the Nor.
mans settled in England there we're
the two palaces, one at the Tower and
the other at Westminster. William
Rufus built his great hall on to the
Saxon palace and New Palace Yard"
came into being. The adjective new"
forms a deceptive designation in many
cases, but seldom so much SO as In
this name. The history Of Westmins-
ter hall Is of interest from its begin
ming, but in its completeness 1t dates
from the last years Of that unfortunate
king, Richard H.. who ordered the con-
struction of the noble roof, and con.
sidered this as the greatest work of
his reign. The original hall was vast
ly different from that now existing and
consisted of a nave and two aisles.
On New Years day. 1895, the occa-
sion Of Queen Eleanor's coronation
and the entry into London Of Henry
III. and his queen. the king caused
5000 poor men, women and children
to be entertained in the hall and in
other rooms of the palace One of the
first great public events In the history
Of the hall was the trial Of Sir VIII.
lam Wallace in 1905. He was taken
there on August 20 on horseback and
placed on scaffold at the south end
with laurel crown on his head in
mockery Of what was said to have
been his boast that he would wear
crown In that hall.

With the distribution Of road drags
and the making of plans for the oper-
alton Of steam shovel gang, the board
of supervisors is preparing to begin
work on the county roads in short
time. During the last two or three
days fifty road drass bought by the
board have been distributed to the SUI
perintendents in charge Of divisions of
the roads.
The new drags, with the drags the
county already owned, will probably be
enough for the entire county's system
of roads. The superintendent have
been instructed to drag the roads at
once, If they have not had them
dragged already.
Grade West Road First.
The board has decided to start the
steam shovel gang working west OF the
city on the Lincoln Highway. and con-
tinue west on it until it is all graded
to a permanent grade before moving
the shovel to another road. There are
several hills on this road as far as
Lamoille, and on the county road west
to the county line, that can be graded
economically with the steam shovel,
the supervisors believe.
The shovel is to be put to work on
-four mile hill" That job finished, the
shovel will be moved west to reduce
the grades Of the hill at the Greene
farm, at Linn valley. and on farther
! west on the hill near the HUFF farm.
The shovel will only be lsed on those
cuts where a considerable amount OF
earth is to be moved. Where smaller
amounts Of grading are to be done
scropers will be used to move the
earth.
| After the work for the steam shovel
| to do on this road has been completed,
| the machine and crew will probably be
| moved to the big hill west Of Rhodes,
which is to be reduced to an easier
grade.
The supervisors hope to organize an
! efficient steam shovel gang so that the
cost of moving the earth IN regarding
the roads will be done at the lowest
practica BILE cost. To this end capable
foreman, to have charge Of the gang
will be employed and placed in i'm
mediate charge. He will probably
1 be required to report in detail each
days work to the supervisors.
