LONDON, Nov. II.
E,Ew citizens of London are
aware that their city was orig
inally built on five hills.
Modern roads and buildings have
SO altered tho first site Of London
that It is now difficult to tell which
the five hills in question are or to
conjure up in the imagination any
picture of the land before 1t was
built over.
The five hills on which old Lon.
don was founded are now known
as Noting Hill, the Marble Arch,
or Tyburn Hill, as 1t was once call
ed: Piccadilly Circus, Cheapside and
Cornhill, taking them in their or
der from west to east.
The original settlement was made
on the easternmost hill, namely,
Cornhill, and It is probable that
this consisted of earthwork, form.
ing q crude kind Of fortress or
camp.
As London grew and began to
resemble something of what we
have now come to think Of as a
city, the buildings were extended
westward along the five hills. TAX

Miss Laidley had come to New

taken q suite in the hotel. But let
the bridegroom tell his own story.
"Alice couldn't swim. but she
often came to the pool and she
had all sorts Of nerve. She wasn't
afraid Of any diving board ever
constructed; she would dive right
into deep water. Wasn't that
great? Oh. yes. I was there and

future, but that was excusable. For
