Ancient Builders

COME day when you are out walking.
- go past a place wherea big building
is going UP and notice the tools men have
to work with. If the building is a large
one, there will be steam shovels digging
out the dirt for the foundation. Great
steel girders will be fastened in place by
automatic hammers. Steam carriers will
be at work carrying the bricks and the
mortar to where 1t is needed and men
with the best of modern tools-tools made
of iron and steel-will be at work doing
the actual building
If you are really interested, and think
you will be. stand at a safe distance and
count the kinds OF tools you can see
the hammers. mortar trowelB, shovels.
picks-count everything that you SEQ the
men use.
Then sec how many OF the tools are
made of iron or steel.
1t would almost seem as If a building
could not be erected without those tools.
would 1t not?
Yet those fine tools are very modern
things, and some of the finest buildings
ever built were made with the crudest
of tools,
You all have seen pictures of the
Pyramids. and Of Greek and Roman tenn
pies, but did you ever see q picture OF

All the tools the Hawaiians had were
made OF wood or stone or bone; for there
were no metals on the islands and tho
Hawaiians were not an exploring people.
But with the crude tools made OF these

the Hawaiians built hewn-stone walls.
They felled great trees and they made
canoes and barges that safely carried a

In addition to the building they manu-
factured cloth, they made their weapons
OF warfare and they fashioned dwellings
and temples and titled the soil.
They had axes. adzes and hammers of

For as the swaylng vehicle swings
through the traffic, the human throng
surges along below, and comedies and

There goes a typical little stenographer,

The bus passes through knghtsbrdge

Hospital and the entrance to the park.
The flower of London society has re-
turned to town for the beginning of the

horseback riders.
The bus Is crowded now. and It turns
sharply toward the Thames Embank-
ment. The great houses OF Park Lane
and all the splendor and wealth of the
West End are left behind as the river
grows nearer.
When Holborn Circus and Fleet street
are reached, very different crowd Ia
seen. Dear, crowded, Bohemian Fleet

and oranges and various merchandise,
and are keeping UP perpetual flow OF
chaff with the passersby. And the news

Everything in Fleet street is fascinating.
Farther on, down by the river. one
sees the human wreckage of life, sitting
there alone and friendless on the Thames
Embankment. 1t is curious why such
derelicts should congregate there-but
such has always been the custom. Per-
haps they find some consolation from
each others society Tho mute, in
glorious Millions" are no longer mute, for
one sees them holding forth to a small
audience of kindred spirits.
Yes, it is true, a ride on n London

A DvENTUREs come to the Adven-
~ turous" so goes the old saying.
And this is very true. For the adven-
tsirous heart will always have that keen
curiosity anent the romance of life, with
out which existence IL not worth the liv-
ing.
I remember spending long and de-
iightful day on the top of a London mo-
torbus last spring. In all the world there
isn't any more thrilling pastime than
riding high UP on the top Of a London
notorious. From no other point Of van
tage can one see any more of real, true,
stirring. pulsating, vibrating life. One
sees so much adventure in the streets.
The bus swept in close to the pavement
'-of course without stopping. Your true
London notorious doesn't stop. There
Isn't timei The conductor leans far out
over the side, and with a sort Of wind
mill motion of his arm. fishes the would
be traveller in.
And then you Chamber to the top. This
clambering is an achievement, fine art
a giddy ascent. For unless the British
bulldog grip is practiced on the railing,
one is all too apt to be jerked over
board.
Once the eeat has been attained. the
view 10 thrilling, particularly II one
boards the bus at the corner OF Oxford
street and Regent street, Just at Picca-
amy Circus, always think that Picca-
dhfy Circus In spring is the most won
dsrfu1 place. Around tho great stone
fountain in tho centre OF tho square tho
flower sellers are congregated, wrapped
in the brilliant colored shawls, the
ralSish hats and the garish plumes in
which the soul of the London cockney
rejoices, their enormous baskets OF yellow
primroses and daffodlls. purple violets and
long-stemmed English roses in front of
them, and a perpetual flow of humorous
observations and repartee issuing from
their fertile minds and directed toward
any probable or improbable purchaser
who may be passing by,
"Roses, lovely roses, only sixpence a
bunchl" comes drifting across a lull of
the traffic. when the huge, imposing
policeman at the corner holds UP the vast
concourse for a moment.
Then the notorious gives a sudden leap,
like sleuth-hound released, and sets Off
at full pace up Regent street, lodging in
and out of the traffic with the most hair
breadth escapes and hair-raising turns
and twists.
One can SEQ SO much of life from the
