8H England is alarmed at the report
concerning the instability of St.
Pauls cathedral, in the heart OF Lon
don. Prominent men are Offering
contributions toward its restoration
and for the protection of the cnOr-
nous dome, said to weight 10000 tons,
and the government has been ap-
preached for assistance. Just after
the great fire of London, Charles ii,
invited Christopher Wren to prepare
plans for new cathedral, and these
were presented in 1866. The, building
was commenced in 1915, and COM
plctcd in 1927, but the last stone was
not laid until much later. Wren
earned undying fame as the designer
of st. Paul's Bow Street ard st.
Brides church His internal decora-
tiuns were never completed, which
possibly accounts for the pcculiaritics
of the Whispering Gallery, and the
fact that a preacher must address
himself to one column, or his voice
will be lost. wo-thirds of the money
required to build st. Paurs cathedral
was obtained from a tax upon all
coal entering London, the total cost
being close to six million dollars.

Col. Thomas e. Lawrence, In the

description of the death of one of
his Arabian chiefs:
After some minutes Talal very slow

and then seemed TO take hold of him
SELF for he dished his stirrups into his
horses TANKS and galloped headlong
bending low In the saddle and sway
ing as though he would fall straight
at the main body of the enemy. It
was q long ride down the gentle slope
and across the hollow, and we all sat
there like stone while he rushed for
ward, the drumming of his horses
hoofS sounding unnaturally loud In
our ears. We had stopped shooting
and the Turks had stopped shooting ;
both armies waited for him. He flew
on In this hushed evening till he was
only few lengths from the enemy.
Then he sat up in his saddle and cried
his war cry, "Talal, Talal," twice la
tremendous voice. Instantly all their
rifles and machine guns crashed out
together and he and his mare, rid
died through and through with bull
let's, fell dead among their lance
points.
