BATTLE OF S!DNEY STREET

S!'-ory of Fight in the Toughest Quan ter of the London White- : - chapel, s

Grove Street and Sidney Street in Whitechapel, &8 quarter of London. in ‘England, is about the toughest quarter in the world. In its dilapidated houses, with forbidding fronts, are the meeting ' places of scores of radical societies, anarchists and communists; as well as gangs of thieves and crimInals of all kinds and character. .Few persons remember about the “Battle of Sidney Street,” which took place several years ago. Police had planned to raid a house in which were a number of violent anarchists, led by a Russian character; called “Peter the Painter.” L : The anarchists barred the doors and windows and opened fire on the police. Soldiers were mmustered for the fight. They ‘swarmed into the houses on the other side of the street, built defenses on the pavement, and from every vantage point poured a steady fire into the anarchist stronghold, every window of which was shattered, .. o ' The besieged replied with their rifles and automatics until their ammunitién gave' out. Then the attackers saw a haze of smoke pouws lazily out of the windows. 'ln a short time volumes of black smoke issued from the windows, through the crevices: of the roof and sidings. Soon the place was a furnace from top to-bottom. ~ When the house was a heap of ruing, the police and soldiers found the charred bones of the anarchists. They had lighted their own funeral pyre. Such was the famous “Battle of Sidney Street,” which took place in the heart of London. @ ¢ .

TROWBRIDGE AND QUILL PEN

Author of “Darius Green and His Fiy— Ing Machine” Once a School Master, 3

J. T. Trowbridge, author of “Darius Green and His Flying Machine,” was in his early life once a “school | master” in Lockport, N. Y. In those days quill pens were in use, and during the half hour given to the writing lesson the prevailing silence was broken by the scratching of nibs, and the frequent appeal, “Mend my pen, Master? Please mend my pen?’ Mr. Trowbridge says in a book on his.own life, entitled “My Own Story”: , “Skill in pen-mending 'was one of the teacher’s indispensable aecomplishments; he was likewise required to write the learner’s copy. Mere drudgery much of this was, and it would have been intolerable to my youth and inexperience and sefisitive nerv-ous-sanguine temperament, but for the double necessity of doing my duty to those under my .charge, and of earning my humble salary—sixteen dollars a month that season. Yet the pleasure In some of my work atoned for much of the annoyance attending the rest.”

FRENCH NAMES IN LOMDON

Their influence Can Be Found in the - British Capital Wherever e One May Go. = / v The -French influence in London names is evident wherever one goes. Charing Cross, which is the modern Londoner's “center of the world,” where Kipling says, one may meet the oge he seeks If he but wait long enough, is an English corruption of a one-time French name. ' When Edward I was bringing the body of his queen from the North, his retinue in their route to Westminster abbey deposited the bier at nightfall where they struck camp. At each resting place a cross was erected, it is recorded. : ; & Throughout England there are now towns, villages and hamlets that bear the. name of “cross.” One can thus almost trace the course of the cortege. The last resting place they reached before they got to Westminster was “Chere Reine OCroix” (Dear Queen Cross), now corrupted to “Charing Cross.” e : | “Birdcage Walk,” in St. James park, is an interesting example. Popular belief generally is-that in medieval ‘days they used to hang bird cages with songbirds in them from the boughs of trees that mark the walk. That i 8 erroneous. “Birdcage Walk” s nothing more thani a corruption of the French word “Bocage” (grove). And Birdcage Walk is indeed a pleasant grove, where lovers have been rambling since the Norman conquest. - - bk i e

LONDON’S WEEKLY REST DAY

Easy for Even the Blind and Deaf to Recognize the Sabbath !n = “ the Big Metropolis. :

In no country in the world, writes Ward Muir in the London Graphic, is Sunday so differert from the week days as in England, and this quite apart from religious observances. It sounds different and it smells different. A blind man could recognize the arrival of Sunday in London by the cessation of the traffic’s roar and the increase of the tolling of church bells. While ‘& blind man could tell Sunday by its silence, a deaf man could tell it by its smell. - Muffins, maybe, are odorless, but sausages are appetizingly aromatic. Throughout the week it must be easy for any aviator flying over London’s chimneys when breakfasts are in preparation, to sniff a scent of frying bacon. On a Sunday the scent would be that of sausages. In enormous numbers of families the midday dinner is also a specialty of Sunday—and this, too, alters Sunday’s odor. For some years I lived in a slum district, and it was noticeable that in the houses of the poor the only day on which .noontime cooking occurred, was Sunday. ‘The master of the house carried his midday meal with him to his work on week days, but on Sundays he consumed steak and greens by his own fireside, and in no part of Londen does Sunday smell so different from week days as In the slums, for this reason.

The Ordeal of Water.

France oeccasionally harks back to the Middle ages, as recently when a Jjustice of an inferior court allowed the old ordeal of water to decide a case. It appears that the case was that of a dye company against which charges were brought by the prefect of the department with a soclety of fishermen Jjoining action to prevent the company emptying coloring matter into public streams. They received 5,000 franecs for damages done to fishing.. Counsel for the defense, in summing up, declared the water near the mouth of the company’s drain was not harmful to fish and asked to make a demonstration; “If the fish die it will be a sort of judgment of God renewed from the Middle ages, and we will have lost our case,” he stated. A bucket of healthy fish was then presented to the judge, who placed them in a bowl of alleged contaminated water.’ In less than two hours all the fish had died.—Scientific American.

Planet With a 15-Hour Day.

On the planet Uranus, heavenly bodies rise in the west and set in the east. Its day is only 16 hours long. The frigid zomes on the earth extend 28% degrees from the poles. On Uranus these poles are 84 degrees and extend almost to the equator, Thus as the planet pursues one of its huge 86-year long years about the sun, half the planet will be shrouded in unbroken darkness while the other side will have daylight without break.

Ev_ory Piano an Engineering Job.

The supporting structure for the strings of a piano, notes the Scientific American, involves a very careful engineering design in order that it may withstand the tension of the strings, providing perfect stability under all temperature conditions so that the piano will not get out of tune, The total tension of all ‘these strings in a standard piano is between 25,000 and 50.,000 pounds. 1 ’
