Consequently in the great area, be-

and particularly the coining winter,
without hope of proper care unless
outside assistance is given them.
Disease Prevalent,

In addition to the unhappy con-
dition of the cbildren the adult popu-
lations are in the direst-ofmisery on
account of disease: Suffering has been
accentuated by lack of food and
clothing, nursing and medical -atten-
tion, and tubeipulosis, smallpox,
typhus and dysentery are continuing
unchecked.
Typhus,which has oo often proved
a scourge' and .menace to the human
race is again, prevalent, and unless

ravages to an alarming degree.

For these urgent reasons, Mr.
Brown said, the League of Red Cross

to the people ofe the British Empire

London was not destroyed, but by

The cause ef this historic fire, as of
other fires, was car- elessriess. It was
not sheer accident as in the ease of
the Chicago fire and Mrs._ O'Leary's
cow. The original culprit was. the
King's baker, a man named Farynor„
who had gone to bed leaving *piie

were few facilities' for fire fighting.
"Garden squirts's would be rather a
flattering name to apply to the ex-
tinguishing apparatus. - The fire
spread, and in the end was only
checked after the houses had been
torn down so that the flames had no
fresh material to work on.
The fire had been predicted by
fanatics, who said that the sins of
-London could' only be wiped out in
flarhes. A Quaker' had passed naked
through the streets bearing on his
head a pan of fire and brimstone. A
erenzied woman garbed in saccloth
had gone to St. Paul's and there
shed blood' upon the altar, calling
the sinful - to repentence. Six
months before a demented Cromwel-
Rai colonel with some equally crazed
companions had planned to seize the
Tower and set fire to the city:
Their plot was discovered, and they
were executed. But these portents
were significant. and when the dig.:

that was brought into effort chiefly i

Catholics. They were attacked, and
in several instances were killed in
the chaos which accompanied the /

The notion that thes, city of Lon- I
don was rebuilt in three years is dis- 1
Posed of by Mr. -Bell. ''our years
after the fire the city still lacked its
churches—slime of the congregations
worshipping in the Livery Halls still
left standing, and hundreds of pri-
vate houses had yet to be built. Com-
paratively slow as was the reeon-
struction of the city, it gave rise to
a Civic spirit and pride such as Lon-
don had never known before. Slow-
er rebuilding would have been: if the
guilds. by restricting tile amount of
available labor, had had their way,
but the whole monopolynwes set aside '
and d"foreign" or outside workmen
were freely imported to assist in the
work. London lost -many fine
Mediaeval buildings in the Great
Fire. and to this extent, the fire is
to be deplored But it gained other-
wise. -Out of the Mediaeval and ec-
clesiastical city rose the great mart
of commerce that we know to -day.
A cleaner, healthier Londen has
emerged from the foul, ,plagueiin-
fested spot over which writers on
Elizabethan themes are . wont to
grow lyrical. Think of the ill -paved
streets with an open sewer down the
centre of each; of . the houses, the 1
real scources of infection; the grave-
yards chockisi so full by victims a

victims hato be flung into loath-
some pits out in the suburbs; and of I
such uncovered sewers of outrageous
filthiness" as the Fleet River. A I
new, a. better, and a healthier Lon- i
don rose like a Phoenix from the
ashes of the devastation of 1666. t' "
Of the buildings destroyed the '
most notable, perhaps, was St."
Paul's Cathedral. In the- opinion of'
Mt. Bell it Was hardly worth pre-
serving, since Wren had given us ,
something so much nobler. The :
atchitect was ordered to Make a plan
for the rebuilding of the city, but i
this proved impracticable and it
was the King who showed great- '
serws:isErn. On this point the author

"I have 'come to the • conclusion', !
and most reluctantly, that it was
slight. Wren's model plan was most
hastily prepared, within a few days
of the fire, and almost as hastily :
rejected . . . (It) was never .ap- -
peeved by parliament. It was still-
born, and was so of the necessities
' of the time. It•was impossible that
it should have been carried out at .
a time when no financial voting aid
could be obtained from 'Parliament,
when that great public .spirit which
alone could have brought to realiza-
tion so gigantic a scheme was crush-
ed under the eastastrophe. Wren
treated the whole of the burnt area
as vacant land awaiting exploitation.
(For instance, he carries one of his
main highways right over the his-
toric Guildhall.) Any attempt to
have realized his plan must have in-
volved ruinous delays, and the loss or
migration elsewhere of Londonte
trade. It wholly. lacked London sup-
port. Whatever our regrets Islay be
to -day at its nonfulfilanent, I an:

WHY DOES A BAD1EGG *FLOAT?
One of the oldest br tests for eggs
s to put them in a basin of Water
—"if they sink they're good; if they
float they're rotten," and this ex-
periment, though its originators
were prably ignorant of the fact,
is rean founded on what takes
place inside the egg -shell during the
early stages of the development of
the embryo.
A fresh hen's egg consists of a:
mass of yolk. together with a quan-
tity of albumen, or what we call the
"white" of the egg. This combina-
tion being heavier than Neater the
egg will sank beneath the surfsee as
long as it is fresh. When an egg lee -
comes addled or rotten, however,
the yolk and white have split up into-.
other substances ---have taken the
first radical step toward the- forma-
tion of a chicken. In the course of
this change they have given off
a quantity of gas, which makes the
egg considerably lighter than before..
This Alteration . is specific gravity
renders the egg lighter than the
amount of water which it displaces,
and the "bad" egg Will. therefore,
,float.while the "good" one will sink.

Dear Mr. Editor:
The most vital fact in public
health se.relee throughout the pna-
vince is, se YOU know, the Tremen-
dous strides made in child welfare(
work. Modern science is harking
back to the ancient proverb that 'An.
ounce of prevention is worth a,
pound of cure." It las been the
privilege of the Hospital for Siek
Children—the greatest Institution or
its kind upon the continent—to find
that ounce of preveation,
In bygone days dependence was
put more largely in medicinesNow-
adays there is a closer partnerehip
between the pediatrician ann Dame
Nature. Sine the erection of our
Baby's Ward and the establi 'sineent
of, well babies' -clinics the infant
mortality in Toronto alone has been
reduced from 155 to 82 per thousand.
Further stsubistdcs which might be
given would ineeely corroborate the
actual lifessieteng value of the Hos-
pital's work. ',And it is unaeeessary
to explain to you that the informa-
tion as to the researches whieh maks.
such a record possible is at once
communicated to the ilealth
eers and waetising physieiaus
throughout Ontario. ,. -
Consequently the Hospital has
Eirely a: claim upon the Christmate
time generosity of every friend of lit-
tle children. An institution which is
securing the, new-born' child twice
.the chance, not merely of good'
health, but of life itself, is entitled to
the abundant support_of the public.
During the past financial yeas,

sary expenditures.
It has always been thetambNon or
the Hospital for Sick Children to
gain not only the support bet the
sympathy of, the people of TOTOTITO,
and so to -day, With a debt exceeding
1150,000, it appeals to none readers te
help along 'with tionie gift, w:liother
it be great or small. A eontributioa
of /2,000 from an Individual in a
society gives the privilege of miming
a cot for all time; a donation of
cents will run the whole Hosea al for
half a minute. Between the two
amounts there is surely some an
'which can be sent by everybody t.4._=
the secretary -treasurer at 69 Collega
street, Toroifte, as a token of interest
ill a charity whose field is AS iarg
as this province. The Hospital for
Sick Children is one of the largest
and most highly regarded in the
world. It is an institution in which
the -people of Ontario may take
legitmate pride., for it is through
their generosity tliat 4Sueeess has
been possible.
Two hundred and fifty children,
pale of cheek or with twisted limbs,
will be the immediate beneficiarbee
of the Yuletide remembrances of your
reatfers. Thousands more throughout
the 'doming year will benefit by their
kindliness.
