The Maze of St. Paul's. One of Sir Christopher Wren's fancies with regard to St. Paul's cathedral was to make the whole place absolutely self contained and self-supporting. When re pairs are needed about the fabric (and, of course. Is so large a building repairs are unending), the staff of men constantly employed has no need to leave the walls for tools or materials. Below, In the crypt, beyond the place where the nation's heroes sleep, arc long ranges of spacious workshops, fitted with every appliance needed by the carpenter, the mason, the plumber, painter, gas fitter, or glazier. Great storerooms are here In which ail manner of ancient treasures reside, and not only here, but in various parts of the cathedral, and which are too numerous even to enumerate. For the stranger who has visited them but once or twice, and has been conducted from one to another by circuitous paths about the great pile. It Is hard exactly to locate their position. After but a brief wandering In that maze of passages he will have. Indeed, but the vaguest Ideas of his own position. At one time he will find himself behind the quarter galleries, at another above the aisles and transepts, at another within the western towers. Here he will be shown the trophy room, so called because at one time It housed the tattered flags which formerly hung almost as thickly about the cathedral walls as leaves on an autumn tree. Not only English standards were there, but flags of almost every nation Spanish flags captured by Lord Nelspn, Dutch flags taken by Lord Duncan, French flags, American flags relics of those strenuous days, a century or more ago when Britain was at war with all the world. Another pleasant apartment Is the com fortable pannelled room, containing a piano, where the choir meets for practice. Higher up In the northwestern tower Is the large ringing chamber, where many famous peals have been rung on the mag nificent bells, the heaviest ringing peal in the country, packed closely together In the belfry above. Twelve bells hang here, among the rafters, the dust and the pigeons. In the corresponding chamber of the twin tower there hangs but one but such a one!
