Feb. 25 -Death of Sir Christopher 1
Wren.
Two hundred and four years ago,
on the 25th February, 1723, Sir
Christopher Wren, the greatest of
British architects, died at the ago' of,
91.
He was born on the 20th October,
1632 in the. Wiltshire village of East
Rnoyle, his father being a country
clergyman. At the age of 14 he was
sent to Oxford University, where he
had a brilliant career, and seven
years later he was made a fellow of
Wacdham College. He was only 25
when he was appointed professor of
astronomy at Greshan College in Lon-
don, and at 28 he became a professor
at his old university. He 'was a moat
versatile genius, and.if it had not bo: n
for his great fame as. an architect he
would be known to posterity as the
outstanding mathematician and scient-
ific inventor of his day.
It was the Great Fire of London to
1666, which raged for .nearly a week
and destroyed more than three quar-
ters of the city, that provided tWren
with a favourable opportunity of c10. -
playing his marvellous ingenuity a; an
architect. Within four days of the
lire he had prepared and submitted to
Charles lI(a design for the rebuilaling
' of the city, but his scheme which con-
cisted of a systematic arrangement of
wide streets radiating from central
open spaces, was rejected, as his idens
were too far advanced for the times.
He was, however, commissioned to

Wren ran in no way be blamed
Car the present .dangerous condition
of St Paul's Cathedral, which has
necessitated the closing of the whole
of the eastern portion of the build-
ing until the romlrlicaated tas�c of
making the mneslve dome absolutely
Sosore is completed, a task which
will oec'ttpy aeverrd years, The ar-
ehiter•t could not possibly foresee
that his foundations would he under-
ntinerl by the construction of great
set;rya and underground railroads,
that the structure would be subjected
to the ceaseless vibration of heavy
motor traffic and electric trains, or
that the atmosphere 9f modern Lon-
don would prove so destructive to
stone and metal. The mighty dome
weighs over 04,000 tons, and the
work of as,'trengthening the stone
piers which support the major por-
tion of thd's tremendous weight is a
long and difficult one, but when it
is completed there is every reason to
believe that Wren's masterpiece will
be preserved for many centuries to,l
come.
Wren was a most energetic man
and found time to fill the office of
Crown Surveyor for a period of fifty
years, to take en active interest in
his duties as a member of the House
of Commons and to act as president
of the Royal Society, to say nothing
of getting married twice.
He was laid to rest in the dyer
of St. Paul's Cathedral, a,id his
tomb bears the appropriate epitaph
-"Stranger, if you seek his monu-
ment gaze all around."

The Post publishes the followiag
newsy item taken from The Toronto
Telegram, of Saturday last. It reads
like one of those bed -time stories:
Wingham, Feb. 12 -(Staff special)
-Although the writ has not been is-
sued, not has the King Government
given any indication of the date of
the bye -election to fill the North
Huron seat vacated by the death,
January 21, -of 3. W. King, Progres-
sive, two party candidates, Liberal
and Progressive, are now in the field.
Immediately following the death of
Mr. Ring, the Liberals called a poli-
tical convention which took place. at
Wingham on January 28. Archie
Hislop, farmer, of Brussels, and for-
mer member.of the Legislature in
1898, 1902 and 1905, carried the
convention against W. H. Robertson,
editor of the Goderich Signal. Mr.
Hislop received 90 votes on the final
ballot as agaifist 56 cast for his op-
ponent, Originally the Goderich fac-
tion planned to pack the convention
in favor of Mr. Robertson, but the
Tlruii;els group, who aro looking for
,one r;ovcrnment appointments in
then' township, beat the lake shore
townsmen -at their own game and
packed Hislop across,
U.F.O. group, which had rather
anticipated an aeclamaltion for the
remainder of the tont, voiced seine
disapproval at the ac.t;on of the Lib-
erals, and called their own convert,
tion for the riding February 1. Shel-
don pricker, farms', of Ford vich,
tv'ts the victor in a field of six aspir-
ants. The final ballot gave Bricker a
count of 39 over Witham 1tutltertord
of St. Helens, president of the local
riding association,
Waiting Game.
Now that the Farmers and Liberals
helve entered contestants the Conser-
vatives are playing a *siting game. -
it is stated in Conservative ranks that
no convention will be called before
fixing the polling date. Tories are
jubilant over the fact that opposing
parties have laid their cards On the

table while the Tory bosses may plan
their moves to the best advantage
from any situation arising out of the
campaign conducted by the other
nominees.
J. H. MacEwan, mayor of Goderich
15 in line for the Conservative con-
vention, Mr. MacEwan trailed the
late Mr. King at- the September Do-
minion election by a minority of 251
votes. The riding gave the Progres-
sives a total vote of 5,594.

Spotton a Probability.
George Spotton, of Wingham, is a
probability for the nomination. There
by 'hangs a tale. Mr. Spotton in the
opinion of many Tories, upset the
"apple cart" for Mr. MacEwan in the
last Dominion election, Mr. MacEwan
makes no bones about attributing his
defeat to the action of the Spotton
faction. A boast of the Spotton fac-
tion was' that if Spotton did not get
the nomination it would soon be ap-
parent whether or not MacEwan
would get their support. The figures
of the recent Dominion contest give
some indication of the probability of
this version being more truth than
poetry. Spotton will not make a def-
inite statement at this time regarding
his intention of seeking the nom-
ination. The seat means nothing one
way or the other in the House and
one probability is that the Censer-
vatives may put in some clean-cut
farmer as a candidate for purpose
of bringing back some of the farmer
votes to the Tory ranks. Had not
the Liberals jumped into the field so
quickly a few of the leading Tories
incline to the belief that the Conser-
vatives might have granted an ea-
clamation to the Farmer group. On
the other hand some of the Liberals
feel there is still a chance of the
Tories holding back and putting their
shoulders behind the Liberal wheel to
kill the U. F. 0. One Tory 1(ader,
however, draws attention to the fact
that the Conservatives have always
played the political game fairly and
squarely with the Farmer group in
North Huron, while the Liberals have
kicked the party around like a dog.
Indication now is a straight fight
between the Liberal and Conserva-
tive parties. Both parties look to
Sheldon :Bricker to take some sort of
field Histo)
a Item and leave the
Winn e t e1
is a straight government vote of
elected to the House and his candi-
dature will have the unlimited sup-
port of the Liberal Government. It
is expected Brelker will not pull out,
however, until such time a 1111 Tory
candidate otters the field. Bricker
has been observed in close llro.xinaity
to some of the Liberal powers, 1n
ease overtures might be fotthconittee.
All is not harmony in Liberal
ranks, Hislop, so to speak, has herrn
out on grass for it few years now enc]
Liberals feel that he has deur nothing
of lata; years 1.o warrant his set ctim
to carry the Grit banner again. There
is even some talk of Abner Coat nr:, of
Wingham, running as an inalependit:r.
T.ihernl,

Ilialop wants an early election. 310
cannot stand a long siege of cam-
paigning due to health, Other'Lib-
erals do not want ate election until
the roads are in better condition. It
now remains to be seen whether or
not the Liberal Government will pay
attention to Hislop's desire or to
other Liberals.
In a three -cornered fight the Con-
servative is a foregone conclusion for
victory.

A Tory Rift
A story is going the rounds in
North Huron that a Liberal organizer
called at Brussels recently in the in-
terests of his candidate. He was told
not to worry about Brussels vicinity
as Spotton's men had already been
in there getting their work in against
the possibility of MacEwan getting
whole hearted support if he got the
nomination.
