The Value of London.

Th© cash valae of a city ia perhaps | the least important side of it, but one's thoughts tarn in that direction on reading that the rateable v.lua of London is now £38.238,811, aud, al most ia the same coiumo, that Man- Chester has £20,000,000 worth of pub-; lie property. What, one wonders, would the bida be like if London were in the market? Nobody knows. We can make only the wildest o. guesses Certain it is that, as Loudon s^wid to-day, not all the money in the w t) .ld could bay it. The home of tbe M-.v hi of Parliaments conld not be built to-day for less than £5,000,000. St, 'JThoaW Hospital, across the river, and the Albert Embankment, ruunirj_ along the front of it, are w -rth to gether over £I,ooo,ooo—e_ch one of the hospital »{ blocks " coat £50,000 ; and Westminster Bridge, the wildest bridge in he world, ran up a builder's bill of a quarter of a million. Within sight of this bridge are two hotels whioh two round millions would not buy; and Somerset House, which stands in the credit book for half a million, Waterloo Bridge, also within view, was a calamitous failure when built, bat it is worth to-day much more than the million pounds which were apent upon it. The bridges on both sides of it represent an expendi-

tore of over £4,000 000 sterling, and all along the river stand the eviden.es of London's ever-increasing value. The tunnels under the Thames stand for many millions, and the Embankment has proved cheap—as a channel for traffic if not as a well-made roadway —at £2,000,000. How many of thf inilliona who use the underground railway, every week ever think of thf huge value they represent in the com mercial world . Two thousand yards cf one of these lines were laid at a cost nf £2,000,000. But even that price, £30 an inch as it is, would not buy it to d»y , tbe owners would hardly ask * ( farthing less than £5,000,000, Ano tber mile of the same line, which Involved an outlay of J. 350,000, rep re- . cents six times that sum to--ky. and one majvels to think what the new i Twopenny Tube must be worth seeing that £12,000,000 has been suggested a? the value of tbe old tube in South London, In actual cost, indeed, the South London H-lectric railway repre sents £7,000,000 sterling. The hotels and public-houses of London could no' be bought up, somebody has reckoned,' for £20,000,000, but the figure i ridicnlously below the mark, Oce public-bouse changed bands sow years ago for £500,000, and, apart from tbe huge price which would have to be i9t on the property in th. auction rooms, the licenses stand f>■ wealth beyond the dreama of million aires. Try to buy the Tower. The invading American, taking a cab at Charing Oro.s, with £3,000,000 in hia pocket, might buy the Grown jewels with his money, but he would bave nothing left to pay the cabby with, and he would have to leave a treasure store worth the Orowr jewels many times over. The National Gallery is more valuable still- It cost with the new Tate Gallery section, £850,000 to build, and has one pic ture which cost £14 an inch, and 38 others for which £1700 apiece was paid. The Albert Hall stands for £250 000, the Government Offices in Whitehall for £500,000. and tbe Crystal Palace for £1,500,000. Buck ingham Palace, 'the ugliest Royal residence in Europe,' as somebody has call, d it, is worth £4,000,000 aa it stands, according to a careful authority, fehe Devonshire House and Lans downe House are valued at £1,000,000 apiece. The value of some churches and chapels, whose ministers will tell they are very poor, ia astonishing. The Metropolitan Tabernacle ia worth £30,000, Sb Martin's Church £36,000, St Pancrae Church £80,000, the Memorial Hal! £100,000, and there is

a. church in the city which stand- on a site worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. And what of the parks and the streets ? A million an acre is the itock plbe of land around the Bank of England—a rate »t which Hyde Park would run every bank in England dry. Batteraea Park cost over £300,000 to lay out j aad the entrances to Hyde Park cost nearly as much as this About the same sum was spent in lay log out New Oxford street, and the short stretch of highway which we know as Holborn Viaduct represents an outlay of £2,000,000. Four of the cattle markets cost £2,000,000 be~ tween them ; and beneath us as we walk are 2300 miles of sewers, worth £4,000,000. The Monument could not be bought, at cost price, for lees £20,000, or the Nelson column for less than £50,000. St Martin's-le- Grand in brickf, mortar, and apparatus

Stands for £2,000,000, and the Law

Courts, with the land they stand on, _.are worth £500,000 more than the General Pos. Office. So one might go 00, There in something of iofiaity in the vast accumulation of historic treas ure and commercial wealth which we call London, and, after all, nothing can be more impossible than to put a cash valne upon the epitome of the city and its story.

These machines are made from genuine B.S.A parts by the celebrated gunmakerai, I. Hollis & Sons, Birmingham, which should be sufficient guarante. of their effioienoy.
