REMINISCENCES OF LONDON

Five or six years had passed be- fore I again Vlalifld the metropolis this time in the company of the cferk at. a nearby colliery. At this D011". I digress to explain that a clerk, in the Old Country, is a writer of correspondence or a keep- er of the books of account; a sales- man is never referred to as u clerk. Probably the word has its origin from the clergy (clerici) being the writers and

To get back to my story. From Kings Cross Station we look a, cab

to Pratt St, Camden town, we were fortunate enough to secure lhliggiugrg‘ l. e., lodgings, at the home of my friend's cousin; a spot mile from Regents Park and the “Zoo? A I threebcnny “A B. C. Guide to ‘ London" saved us many a three- pence, for in addition to its ‘ sectional maps, it, gave information of all points of interest, times of access, chaiges, and free days. We Northuiiibrialir." had many traits of the Lowland Scots, and "free days" turrietl a strong appeal. So we tirew up plans of circular tours which would‘ cover the days at dis- prnal viz, one week, and take in those sights which cost little Or nothing! This worked out to our great satisfaction, and it was astonishing the amount of worthwhile sights-seeing we got through before we entrained at King's Cross again. We also agreed " to put down, lust thing at night, all that struck uspart-lculairly during the clay, into a sort of journal. The journals were not to be shovm to each other till we were in the train 1 for the North! The first thing I can recollect , was a visit to the Zoological Gard- ; ens. On Mondays the charge is six- pence —othcr days are shilling. The "Zoo" covers about thirty acres, and has about 3,000 animals, some of < Lhern very rare. There ls a "Monkey , House," a great treat for the child- ren, for the antics of the inhabit- ants are most funny. At that time 1 the poor simians were liable to lung trouble ivhich often left t, vacant cages; of late years the use I of quartz glass for windows -to , admit ultra-violet. rays —and of sun-lamps, has counteracted the humid climate of England, and helped the monkeys to live their allotted span -whatevcr that ls. There Wlls a. fine selection of lions ‘ and tigers, in another house, but we did not. see them fed, as our visit nuns in the morning. I spent, , some time in the reptile house. l where there were all kinds of snakes, big and little, in separate cages. The cages had iron bars in front to keep the public off and thick plate glass behind the bars. to keep the snakes off. Some of the lesser snakes were the dead- liest --th(§ black mamba for in- stance. (A friend or mine, while botanizlng in Swazleland, Africa, was bitten by a black

Another interesting sight was the Tortoise Pond.

Most. of my readers have heard “Big Ben” over the radio; this is the thirteen-ton bell in the clock- tower of the Houses of rarliament, whose mighty voice is heard all over London. ‘The bell is called after the Commissioner of Public works who built the tower in 185B ——Sir Benjamin Hall. It is not. however, as "big" as "Great Tom" of Oxford, who turns the scale at seventeen tons, nor is it celebrated in song as Tom is. By the way the minute-hands of Bans clock (four - dials) are 14 feet long. (‘Phase reminiscences will be resumed next week).

IDENTIFYING PLANTS

Each summer brings an increas- ing number of plants to be identi- fied by the present writer, who is always glad to help in this way when possible. Fresh material h always welcomed as saving the writer's time: by which is meant the unwilted plant. preferably with the root freshly gathered. Next in order is preferred the properly- prepared pressed specimen, such as we see at the School Fairs, or in a. College 0r other herbarlum. Loss welcome tsfithc shrivelled plant which has dried of itself, and must be soaked and spread befom a guess can be made of its identity; and worst is i.h¢ single leaf with the query “say what this is!"

Freshly gathered plants will u- rive in good condition if wrapped in waxed paper for transport. Plants are identified much more certainly and quickly if the flower is included in the packet. In some instances the seeds are a great help in recognizing the plant.

TWO BOOKS WORTH READING

some of my readers in the City may have seen the screen version of the “Mutiny of the Bounty," which was released a year or two ago. This photo-play was not well received in the Old Country, be- cause lt presented a man who was almost a national hero, in a most; unenvlable and false light; and hi5 descendants, several or whom oc- cupy high positions in the country's Services, were greatly affront-ed at. the dishonor meied_ out to their ancestor. ‘There is in our Public Library an account of the voyage and mutiny, told in the simple and straightforward language of the Captain's log-book, which puts l. different complexion on the affair. Bligh was not the cadistic tyrant of the film: his care for his men's health and comfort was almost unique in those rough, hep-hazard days. Fletcher, Christian had been slated for promotion, but the easy life of the tropical islands seduc- ed him from his duty to his country and commander. The after-history of both men is significant; Cap- tain Bligh after one of the most strenuous voyages on record re- turned to England and was made Vice-Admiral. Fletcher Christian and his fellow-mutineers went to Pitcairn Island where "Drink and the devil" soon "did for the rest" in the orthodox way, and where Christian was shot by a, native whose wife he had canted off. When two British men-of-war vis- ited Pltcaln Island twenty-four years after the meeting, they found only one of the original mulineers alive.

It was Lord Bcaconsflcld (I think) who said that he admired tho Church of England, because 1i. provided one gentleman, at least, in every parish. Steme was per- haps the exception that proved the

rule. for there was q u i tc a quarrel between Thackeray and oneof theRevlcws

as to that particular cleric being a gentleman! Nevertheless George Saintsbury-no mean critic -con- fldently opines that the "Bentl- inental Joumey" i: its author's bet work of art, singularly suc- cessful and complete in itself: which does not; hinder the learned critic from characterizing its mild- ly Rabelaislan pages by a long Greek word meaning "dirty - trivlai-patiering." "Sterne" he says. “was not exactly a good man. ' though there have been many worse." but to this faint praise he' adds-J‘ we could not, at, any price , that. could be easily formulated or‘ paid. spare Sterne from English literature." The "Letters to Elizaf’, in a sense supplementary to the ' "Journey," are a most: extraordin- ary revelation. Bterne was enamoured (orsays hg was) of Mrs. Elizu Draper. who indeed seems to have given some en- couragement to the eri-lng cleric: and his letters are "curious as few things are in literature." f-fumqr always laughs, but never autum- says Botntsbury; "Sterne, with the rarest exceptions. la always sing--
