THKRE la probably no oilier city
that so stimulates and excites
ttjC imagination as London. It
Is facetiously said that thous
ands of Americans know mora
about the world's metropolis be
fore they visit It than the cockneys
themselves. Particularly 1b this true
of oninlverouB readers of Kpgllsh lit
erature. There 1 many a small person
to whom Dickens. Thackeray or Scott
m!r;ht be said to act as a real estate
agent through whom that Bmall person

In such goodly company.
A dreaming childhood, however, can
not last forever. In time imagination
is superseded by matter of fact, and
when that small person finally goes
abroad h has probably forgotten, tem
porarily at least, the stories of rdeken",
Thackeray and Bulwer l.ytton, anil
look with a proper degree of senm
upon his early fancies. In that ma

through Britain, but when he finally
reaches London and takes a good Ions

his childish fancies have merely antici

hank of fog. Great was our surprise,
therefore, to find, on emerging from
Waterloo, that the fog had partially
lifted, and that our cab with luggage
piled on top, v as able to proceed at an
ordinary pace. Greater was our sur
prise and delight to find London
dressed up lad in nil her glad rags,
preparatory to extending the glad hand
to poor, martyred irIos. late king of
"Portugal, and Queen Amelia, who were
then the guests of King Kdw.ird and
Queen Alexandra at Fandrlngham.
Reaching the American quarter we
stopped In Oxford street for tea, and
on entering into the ever-ln itlng at
mosphere of F'rascatti's cosmopol l tan
retreat, little gasping, clutching sobs
arose in our throats, our eyes suf
fused with salty drops and our hearts
thrilled with, a 'sense of home, fov to
our wearied ears came the welcome
strains of "Hands Across the Sea"
London's greeting!
On the following day the freedom
of the party was given to the vlsitinp;
royalties, who drove through the prin
cipal streets, accompanied by trie Prince
and Princess of Wales, Prince Arthur
of Connaught and other notable per
sonages. Including the lord mayor Of
London and foreign ambassidors.
King Caries at close range proved
to be exactly like his numerous por
traits. Tl;" pictures of Queen Amelia,
however, do not do her justice, fir
she is a remarkably beautiful woman,
of the paje, clear cut t pe. w ith large
expr"sive eyes and dark hair.
The route along which the proces
sion passed was protected on ouch side
by a iov af guardsmen, stationed about
I b feet apart, and immediately behind
them a row- of police, stationed at the
same intervals. The guardsmen looked
vciy pioturesu.ua in their red Jackets
and bearskin headgear, although the
latter operated much like a merry
widow hat would at a matinee.
Later on in the season, on the occa
sion of the opening of parliament on
tho pith of February, we were again
aide to admire the guardsmen In all
their glory.
T!ip pageant associated with the open
ing Of parliament is one to stay Ions
in the memory of any person who wit
nesses as Is also the welcome ac
corded by h'ngland's loyal subjects to
their loved sovereign. Although sun
shine was lacking, the colors of the
picture were harmonious: the skies sup
plied the gray tints, the people the
drabs and blacks, and the military the
scarlet and steel.
The passing of the soldiery, the muslo
of the bands, tho coming and going of
the gorgeously appointed ambassadorial
eoaei-es served to while away the usu
ally monotonous period of waiting for d
profession.
Veumeri of the Guard, commonly
known as Beofeaters, halberd In hand,
and wearing their quaint but ever
fresh costume with Immense dignity,
marched out of St. James' palace as
from nome medieval picture, and down
the Mall to Buckingham.
The smart troopers of the Twenty
first LaneerSj abovo whose fine modern
uniforms rose lance and fluttering pen
non, formed the most. Brilliant feature
of the military display. The pennon
was particularly effective on the Horse
Guards' parade where a double line of
the Empress of India's men, with tlelr
band, designated the path of royalty.
Formidably indicative of Britain's
power was the Royal Horse artillery,
accompanied by their guns. The Sec
ond Life Guards appeared In all their
glory of cuirass and sword, and the
First Life Guards were In equally
splendid array.
Tho Irish Guards, preceded by an Im
mense wolfhound, provided the guard
of honor, their music giving great de
light. The "thin red line." which kept
the route, was composed entirely . of
guardsmen, the First Irish, the First
Scots, the First and Second Coldstreams
and the First Grenadiers.
Tho balconies of the houses overlook
ing the Mall were effectively decorated.
In many oases British and American
flags being draped in juxtaposition.
Five state carriages, each drawn by
six horses, preceded their majesties'
superb .state coach, which was drawn
by a splendid team of eight creams,
richly caparloned and controlled by
post illlons.
Although King Edward Is a familiar
figure about London In an open carriage
or automobile, each neck of this im
mense throng was craned for one more
view of the kingly presence, and even
from a fleeting giance. a most kingly
impression Is gained, the principal feat
ure which produces It being the ceru
lean eye. remarkable on account of size,
shape and expression.
The arrival of the royal procession
at successive stages was Indicated by
the music of bands stationed at regular
Intervals, until finally the boom of ar
tillery In St. James' park announced.
amid the screaming of wild fowl, anitl
the wheeling flight of pigeons, that King
Edward hud entered his palace of West-j
minster. The crowd for the. most partf
remained standing, patient and re-1
spectful, until the return of their majes-i
ties, after the king had read his speech!
and complied with the necessary forro-t
allflee.
The fleetlns impression of Queen'
Alexandra Is one of graclotianess andi
dignity, and beauty and perennial youth.
There Is a great diversity of opinion
as to whether or not London may bo'
considered "beautiful." The London
county council Is certainly not an arbi
ter of taste. Some, while railing at tha
absence of design In the grand manner,
point with pride to the fine mass of
New Scotland Yard, the fanciful sil
houette of Bentley's tower above the
chimney pots of Victoria street, or the
suggestion of Rome of the seventeenth
century lu the Brompton Oratory, and"
other fine buildings scattered about the
town.
The climate prohibits the open air
cafe and the lounging on the boulovaarts
that makes Paris so ef fervescentlv
attractive. Although Londoners are
natural "outers," they are active ones.
Whatever the lack of beauty may be
in a superficial sense, the Interest la
there, unceasing, Inexhaustible, at any
hour of the day or night. London Is
so vast and so scattered that there may
be said to be no center of gravity of
life or amusement, though there are
many centripetal forces. It Is charac
terized by a homogeneity of diffused
and uniform heterogeneities.. Unques
tionably the most characteristic feature
of London Is her river, the Thames,
which flows, as it has flowed sine
Celt and Phoenician chaffered on its
banks, silently out of the silent English
country and emerges upon the metropo
lis formidably with a great beauty all
its own.
A new diamond field, the extent of
which Is estimated at 10 square miles,
has been found at Luderlta bay, German
Bouthwest Africa.

Two Lively Towns.
The towns of Fossil and Condon were

all branches of business well repre-

Just here let me add that In the

Having traversed Alkali ranvo"
(right.v named in Ftorm of (lust

river at Beverly, a new construction
town above Priest rapids, by tha Mli

forward steadily, and this great struc
ture Is slated for completion some time
next February. The cost Is estimated
at $1,000,000. The rock worlt on the
river is costly, as the Incessant boom

either side of the river, and such is tha

12 months will probably see this line
