Takes Much Water to
Supply Worlds Cities

Have you any idea how much water
the average city dweller uses daily ?
Take London, with its gigantic popu-
lation. Here the authorities have to
supply an area Of 55S square miles,
and give the 100000 people the wa
ter they need. Would you have i'm
agined that each of these demands
no less than SO gallons every day /?
Yes, that is only the average supply
per head per day. In the dry, shot
weather the amount required for each
person becomes 40 gallons, or more
than a barrel Of water per day for
each man, woman, and child. London
is not the thirstiest town. Scotland
consumes more water than England.
In Glasgow and Edinburgh, for in
stance, the average consumption per
head is not SO, but 81 gallons; and to
Helensburgh, in Dumbartonshire, be-
longs the distinction Of being the most
thirsty town in the whole of the Brit
ish isles. Here they take 81.7 gallons
per head. One reason given for Scot
lands large consumption is that the
water supply is much better than in
England.

Old Treasure Chamber

Few who explore Westminster abbey
are aware that there are many of its
most ancient and interesting parts of
which they have never had a glimpse.
For instance, in the eastern cloisters
there is a door so guarded against I'M
authorized intrusion that it can only
be opened by seven keys, which are
in the jealous custody of as many gov
eminent officials. Five of the key
holes of this wonderful door, which, by
the way, is covered with human skins,
are concealed from view by a stout
iron bar which traverses it. This door
gives access to vaulted chamber,
known as the "Chapel of the Pyx,"
the walls of which were standing as
they stand today before even the Nor

chamber was once the treasury of
