The huge church was built at a icost of $20,000,000, raised largely o, by a tax on coal entering the port of London. Its foundations are only four and a half feet deep. Be- neath them are six feet of earth and below that a bed of wet sand twenty feet deep. The dome alone weighs 68,000. tons. It is supported by eight hol- on to ‘(lwo piers and in the course of tho centuries has tilted dangerously, almost six inches out of plumb. That movement has not entirely ceased, but the building is now cor- sidered safe. Most striking sight in the renmo- | vated cathedral is the glitter of |mosaics which had been dimmed {by the footsteps of worshippers through the centuries. But while the interior of the massive pile shines in renewed brightness, its ex- terior is still grimed by the smoke of the coal which furnished most |of its original cost. | The building is of Portland stone, |which is slightly porous.

Rector Urges Hat Brims Be Removable for Women WEMBLEY, England, May 30.— Women's hats with brims are caus- ing some pertubation in the mind of the Rev. H. W. R. Elsley, rector cf St. Michael's church, Tokington. In the parish magazine he says, “we understand from our lady friends that brimmed hats may return this summer. We hear the pertentious news with mixed feel- ings. The modern girl looks equally charming in any sort of a hat, or in no hat at all. Yet a dreadful dread is upon us. After 20 years of male emancipation, is our view in church, einema or concert rooms to be obstructed by creations from Paris? “If the ladies make brims the rage, the gentlemen may brim with rage! May we plead, therefore, that | the brims be made removable, so |zhat they may be taken off and held in the lap.” .
