As Lord Wakefield, one' of the City's greatest modern benefac- tors, says in his Introduction to Col. Robert Blackham's "The Sovereign City," London is "solid" history in the 5 same sense as the River Thames is . . ssid to be "liquid" history. The Lon- don that Colonel Blackham shows us - is the "wonderful Square Mile which | down the ages has maintained a char-| acter and influence superior to that of any other community in England 'or ; disewhere. He traces its twenty cen- of stirring history, lets us see complicated wheels of government turnton, and talks familiarly of its monuments and bridges, banks and business houses, trees ahd inns, its enviable war . service, its markets, * eharities, and all the parts that go to make up the mighty whole. Yet another aspect of the City Is dealt with In "The London County neil From Within." Here are the ' y years' official recollections of Sir . Parry Hawad, late Comptroller of the L.C.C, and Electricity Commissloner from 1920 to 1930.

They y in warm, foggy weather Look-out men at Ostend have reported identical noises, very dull and distant but many times repeated, and always occurring towards evening. They con- sider them to be subterranean. 'There are at least three 'places in Anerica where mystery sounds have been heard for many years past. One is that beautiful region, "he Blu Msun- tains of Georgia, where there are rec- ords running back for sixty years or more, reporting heavy crashes and booms, resembling the sounds of a dis- tant bombardment. . These occur at all times of the year and in all weathers. It was formerly suggested that v were caused by bears rooting under rocks and sending them rolling down the hillsides, but today bears are vxtinct--and the nois- es continue. In the hills of North Carolina and near Franklinville, in New York State, the same sort of sounds are heard. They are desfribed as resembling quarry blasts. STRANGE STORM WARNING. Prof. A. Issel, an Italian seismolo- gist, has written a paper on myster- ious noises heard in- Umbria over a lcng period of years. These detona- tions were quite distinct from ordinary peals of thurder. The centre from which they appeared to emanate was Monte Nerone. In the Midile Apen- '| nines subterranean thunder of the same kind is usual. The people call it "Bombio." One of the strangest spots on earth is the Quebrada Encantata (Enchanl- ed Ravine) in the Uloa Valley, Hon- duras. This ravine at times sends forth a loud, melodious sound, which niay be heard many miles away, and is regarded by all the people within hearing as an infallible sign of rain. What is more, the sound is so modu- lated as to indicate by its pitch whe- ther the coming storm is to be heavy ume of the sound. the heavy _ competition offered "by tions 10 mfles apart. first class fares, Some officials declare, experiment will . costly. loss of passengers through the open- Heh and without DE ve iy Krysthen Tree'sh mira by cuir Reon tide OUR CROSS-WORD PUZZLE 6 - 1 1h. : : » 4 # % .
