BOSTON, Eng, May l5-The name
OF the little mother city away in the
fens OF this historic county-Lincoln.
shire-is closely associated with eigh-
teenth century American history.
For this reason II is not surprising
to learn that the Mayor OF Boston.
Mass, has received and promptly re-
sponded TO an appeal from his brother
mayor in this town TO help save a
crack in the Boston stump" which
is the name by which the church
tower OF the ancient parish church
OF St Botolph, dating back TO 1909
(the largest and finest parish church
in the kingdom), is locally known.
The story OF the crack is curious
The tower is nearly 800 feet high
and In former times, when revolving
lights and electricity were unknown,
was used as a beacon TO ships at
sea.
The stump" has been through
many storms on that rough coast,
and in 1908 the southwest pinnacle
OF the lantern was swept into the
church yard and the bell chamber
roof damaged. IL Is probable that
the crack, which has Just been dis.
covered, must have been made at
that time
