During the war a work of the first importance has been goinj^ forward on the fabric of St. Paul's Cathedral.

Nowf That the War Has Ended the Road Merchant Again Appears. One of the signs of demobilization is the return of tlio tramp. During tho war there has been a very nolice- able absence of these road merchants, with their llutter.ing rags, tlieir venti- lated footgear, their "allocking bad" hats, and their unshaven jowls. The casual ward is the Mecca of the tramp. It is his dormitory, for which he makes like a homing pigeon. He is sed by Wren or Hawksmoor. When the full weight of the dome came on tho piers it caused serious sattcrings of the stone walling, and it clearly went on during the first half of the eighteenth century, as the rubble filling of the piers dried and became compressed. The core or rubble filling is not of uniform quality. A great deal of the mortar was made with a lime obtained by burning chalk lime or shells. Had Wren used even a poorly hydraulic lime he would have pier which marks a primary stage in the work of restoration at St. Paul's. Now that the boarding has been removed it is possible for any one to observe the extent of wliat has been virtually the rebuilding of this vital support of the dome. The whiteness of the substituted stones shows distinctly how the 3000 cubic feet of new masonry has been insert- ed. It has only been possible to carry out this work by using the greatest care to avoid disturbance ofa^he enormous weight of 8000 tons always on his way there. When he meets a "toff" he begs ; when he gets an easy chance he steals. Cut the tramp is universal, cosmo- politan. The American tramp goes very far afield. The trans-continental lines know him. He boards the train out in the unknown, and when he lias travelled a few hundred miles, and got a change of scene, lie drops off, and resumes his walk. The Australian variety of tramp is known as a sundowner, because he "blows in" when the orb of day is westering. there were eight or nine, not all of them of the same excellence as the Strongs. For instance, in the con- struction of the S. E. pier the work is not nearly as good as that of the S. W. pier; the mortar is worse and the masonry of a very inferior char- acter. Method of Construction. To improve the power of resistance of the filling in the S. W. pier the method was employed of solidifying by liquid grout.

It says a great deal for the care and efficient workmanship of the artificers, contractors, and expert ad- visers that no perceptible settlement has occurred during the progress of the work.

If you aro on the ship they may ask you to feel the deck, which Is wet with dew. Eveu though the stars are shining clearly and the sea is absolutely smooth, the deck seems as though water had been pour- ed across it. The sailor will then In- form you that dow is never to bo found more than thirty miles from land, so tho dew is a good indication.
