£'Y LONDON THE CINDERELLA OF THE CITIES Story of the Mall for the County Council and the •? * < » New Embankment. t- ft* For 18 years the greatest, the healthiest and the wealthiest city in the world has been without a civic habitation worthy of its ancient set­ tlement and honored name. The size of London, its power, utility and dig­ nity, have not yet secured adequate expression in embodied brick, chiseled stone, or fashioned bronze. London has been too long the Cin­ derella of the cities in the matter of municipal recognition. Like poor Cin­ derella, her county council had to work and live in the basement dwell­ ings of Spring Gardens. Her sisters, the borough councils and the city cor­ poration, feast or junket in the Guild- ball and Mansion house, or disport themselves In the numerous town halls and other buildings that have ifceen granted to them by the grace of parliament or the cheerful consent of (their constituent ratepayers.

Ranking appropriate­ ly, yet modestly, with Greenwich has- pital, Lambeth palace, the houses of parliament, custom house, Chelsea hospital, Hampton court--buildings that survive to us as worthy and monumental reminders of the days when the River Thames was the chief, as it was, and as it must again be, the widest, cleanest, prettiest, quietest thoroughfare in this great metropo­ lis. Looked at from the point of view of a great and beautiful riverside im­ provement, the embankment of the south side of the River Thames offer­ ed opportunity for a fine and bold treatment of this present squalid spot The best embankment In the world runs from Blackfriars to West­ minster bridge and the houses of par* liament This noble roadway has re­ ceived a handsome lengthening of its Victoria Tower gardens, fronting as far as a new Lambeth bridge by a new embankment wall and a riverside promenade backed with fine offices overlooking a garden that will occupy the land where the old houses and wharves now stand facing Lambeth palace on the north side. From this garden there will be, when the county hall is finished, a finer view of houses of parliament, Hospital, Lambeth pal­ ace and council offices than that which feasted the eye of Canaletto when he painted the Stangate shore in the years that are gone; a better view, even, than that which caught the artistic eye of Sir Thomas More, Wl. v.: LTTOiim *--|~i~ Wfi r View of New County Council Hall from Westminster Bridge.

But now London, through Its county ^council, is to have a civic building, a (municipal home, an administrative of- ifice in which to strenuously carry on •the multiplex duties that are intrust­ ed to it for the good government of :mighty London. For over ten years the council pressed its claim; for all that period the health, time, and fruitful energy of its councilors and staff were "cribbed, cabined, confined;" and to some extent its work has suffered by the lack of centralized, spacious and .well-equipped offices. * Patient, submissive, tolerant to an Intolerable degree, the council prac­ tically unanimously, irrespective of party, decided a year ago, for the good government of London, to se­ cure a new home away from the old site, which has been neither suitable, sufficient, nor available, for its ever- Increasing work and its multiplying responsibilities. And, as the council was being evict­ ed from Spring Gardens, parliament would not have it at the Adelphl site, and the timid refused to have it in Parliament street, where better could it he placed than on the spacious plot of ground occupied by dingy wharf, none too pleasant factory.

This great improvement which is slowly revealing itself, from the end of Abingdon street • to the Tate gallery, has cost over a million of money. And now the public, council and architect have all cooperated in mak­ ing the Ark of the Civitas of a free community fair to look upon and as worthy a repository of the municipal archives, the center of civic activities, as continental cities boast, and, in erecting a fitting workshop for Lon­ don's devoted aediles, will give space and encouragement to those municipal governors who have made London in 18 years of their administration the municipal Mecca to which all civic pilgrims turn for instruction, example, and ideals in modern city government.

The Illinois Steel company has tin­ der consideration a plan for a series of tests of the Illinois and Indiana coals with the view of adapting them to all purposes for which that com­ pany now uses coal, which coal they are bringing at heavy freight charges from states east of Illinois and Indi­ ana. The plan is tp buy a carload of coal from each mine in these two states, to test each car, and to espe­ cially apply the tests of efficacy for their own purposes. Board of Supervisors Commended. The state board of health urges that physicians throughout the state utilize more generally the laboratory of the board for the early diagnosis of tuberculosis and other communicable diseases and that they become con­ versant with the character of milk given to young Infants. The action of the board of supervisors of Sangamon county, in providing an appropriation for the purchase of tents for indigent consumptives, Is highly commended. Nothing to "Cabbage Snake," The minds of the people of the state, who have been disturbed by ru­ mors of the death and destruction wrought by the "cabbage snake," now frequently found in all sections, is set at rest by an authoritative statement, corroborated by the Btate laboratory of natural history, that the cabbage snake is merely the so-called "hair snake," and is so absolutely harmless that a number might be eaten with impunity. . v # i State Law «*aihlnet% Judge William B.

Deneen has presented to the directors of the Illinois Central rail­ road the claim of the state for unpaid compensation running back for vary­ ing periods from six to ten years and amounting to a total of approximately $3,000,000. Some subjects of the in­ quiry have been traced back ten years.. Others have been traced back only two months. In some lines of the Investigation the state finds itself barred by the statute of limitations from making a claim which will cover more than six years. The exact amount of the claim in its total has been preserved by the state officials as a secret It Is explained that the issue between the state and the com­ pany is at a point where arbitration may make a lawsuit unneecssary. For this reason the state officials decline to make public the exact nature of 4heir demands. At the same time it is stated authoritatively that the sum is in the neighborhood of $3,000,000. The issue between the state and the company is said to be mainly a ques­ tion of distribution of earnings. It is explained that the question of distri­ bution arises where shipments are made partly over the charter lines and partly over the lines free ffbm the compensation requirement. As a typ­ ical illustration* a freight shipment from Springfield to Chicago is taken. The line to Gilman is subject to com­ pensation. From Gilman to Chicago is the old charter line. The question is how much of the earnings on this freight should be credited to the char­ ter line and how much to the line not required to pay compensation. A ship­ ment from Chicago to New Orleans raises the same question. The origin­ al line, for which the land grant was made by the' state, and on which the company agrees in its charter to pay seven per cent, compensation on its gross earnings, extends to Cairo. The earnings must be distributed part to the division which pays compensation, part to the diivsion which does not. From what the state officials say, the company is acquitted of any "inten­ tional wrongdoing." The question of distribution arose early in the com­ pany's dealings with the state, as soon as additional lines came into the system, and gradually the company solved it more and more to its own benefit. This is accepted as a natural procedure, but it soon began to con­ cern sums of considerable proportions. There is some hope that the state and the company may reach an agreement which will enable the state to collect without a lawsuit. Such an agreement necessarily involves a compromise, and it is expected that the claim, if compromised, will be on the number of years for which back compensation shall be paid. Call for Drainage Coiigrei*. A copy of the call issued by the governor of Oklahoma for a national conference of drainage interests has been received In Springfield. The conference will be held December 5-7 in Oklahoma City. It is requested that the governor of each state ap­ point one and that one delegate each he selected by county boards of su­ pervisors, executive board of each drainage district, commercial or trade organization and each agricultural, ir­ rigation or drainage association. The objeets of the conference will be the discussion of those phases of the drainage question which are of com­ mon interest to all, tbe consideration of ways and means for the inaugura­ tion of a general movement for the reclamation of lands by the construc­ tion of drainage works, and to start a campaign of education for the pur­ pose of enlightening the popular mind upon this very important subject to the end that public sentiment may be prepared to endorse and support the adoption of a practical and definite line of policy pertaining thereto.

"When it is necessary to examine the horizon In another than the for­ ward direction . . . the observer grasps two handles on the movable tube and turns it in the desired di­ rection. . . . The quality of the vision is pronounced excellent by the com­ manding officers of all our submarines. The images are shapp and clear, and may be compared with those of a good field glass."

Writes Mr. Jourdan: "In principle, the periscope is com­ posed of a tube of small diameter placed vertically on the upper part of the submarine. Its lower end pen­ etrates into the boat, while its up­ per end rises above the water by a few inches. "It works by one" of the simplest op­ tical devices--the use of mirrors. A mirror in the upper end of the tube, inclined to 45 degrees to the horizon­ tal, receives the images of objects on th§ water and sends them vertically downward to a second parallel mirror at tho lower end of the tube, within the submarine. ... "Though every maritime nation has adopted for its submarines an instru­ ment based on this theory, some, as in our own case, have an excellent one, while others have been retarded in the utilization of submarines by the in­ sufficiency and ineffectiveness of their optical devioes. . . . "Without betraying military se­ crets, we may give a few details re­ garding the installation of the peri­ scope on French submarines, which will make their working a little clearer. "In the first place, the mirrors, spoken of above, are replaced by prisms. The arc of the horizon cov­ ered by the upper prism is about 90 degrees. The periscope has two tubes, a short one, fixed in the hull . i . and* a movable one which slides in It The latter is pushed up above the surface, or withdrawn below it, at will. "The tube Is moved up and down by a screw, a counterweight, or even by a little electric motor, as in our latest models. The upper prism is fixed in the movable tube, the lower one in the stationary tube. Certain Imaginary pictures that have recently been published show the images . . . thrown on a horizontal table under the eyes of the commanding officer. This is an error. The observer places his eye at a single or double eye- der wpter, and then pushing It up quickly. He goes on: "Thus the periscope Is the eye of the submarine, without which it would be absolutely unusable. But this in­ dispensable organ is also the sole means by which the presence of the submarine is revealed. The tube, small though It be, leaves a wake be­ hind it, which is apt to attract the at­ tention of those who are watching for the attack. "This is an evil without a remedy, but its gravity need not be exag­ gerated. What can be done by a ship that discerns this slight object at short distance? To destroy It by gun­ fire would be difficult in so brief a JJIf" Design of Periscope: 1, 1, Mirrors; 2-2, Tube; 3, Surface of 8ea; 4, Ship on Horizon; 5, Its Imags in Intsrlorof Submarine. time, and the destruction of the per­ iscope would leave the submarine un­ harmed "Besides this, nothing is easier than to have a second periscope for use in case the first is destroyed; and this has actually been done in our latest submarines. "We may imagine the nervous strain of the officers and crews of a war­ ship who fear an attack o.f submarines. All floating objects, the slightest debris, bottles, fishermen's buoyB, will be suspected of being periscopes, and a hail of projectiles will be directed on the most inoffensive objects, while the real enemy may pass unnoticed. . . . Probably the submarines will en­ courage these mistakes by scattering about them all sorts of floating ob­ jects, in the midst of which their periscopes will have a good chance of escaping notice."

Instead of requiring eight cuts to divide the potato into pieces It is all done at one operation. The illustration plainly shows the construction of the knife, no descrip­ tion being necessary.
