    London, Like South Bend, Ind., Clean City
-By STEPHEN LEACOCK.
Before setting down my impres
sions of the great English metropo
lis—a phrase which I have thought
out as a designation for Lcndon—I
think it proper to offer an initial
apology. I find that 1 receive im
pressions with great difficulty, and
have nothing of that easy facility In
picking them tip which is shown by
British writers on America. I re
member Hugh Walpole telling me
that he could hardly walk down
Broadway without getting at least
*.; worth, and on Fifth avenue $5
worth, and I recollect that St. John
Krvin% came up to my house in Mon
treal, drank a cup cf tea, borrowed
some tobacco and got away with *60
worth of impressions of Canadian
life and character.
But T have since pieced together my
impressions as conscientiously as I
could, and I present them here. If
they seem to he a little bit modeled
on British impressions of America,
1 admit at once that the influence
is there. We writers all act and react
on one another: and when I see a good

on it at once.

called Whitehall. One of the best
American drug stores is here situated.
The upper end of Whitechapel opens
into the majestic and spacious Trafal
gar square.
Here are grouped in imposing prox
imity the offices of the Canadian Pa
cific and other railways, the Interna
tional Sleeping Car company, the Mon
treal Star and the Anglo-Duich bank.
Two of the best American barber
shops are conveniently grouped near
the square, while the existence of a
tall stone monument in the middle
of tl'.a square itself enables the Amer
ican visitor to find them without dif

A little further ou one finds one
self in the heart of financial London,
that strange and mysterious thing
called “the City.” Here all the great
financial institutions of America—the
First National Bank of Milwaukee,
the Planters National Bank of St.
Louis, the Montana Farmers Trust
company and many others—have eith
er offices or their agents. The Bank
of England—which acts as tlie London
agent of the Montana Farmers Trust
company—and the London County
hank, which represents the Peoples
Deposit ccmpany of Yonkers, N. Y.,
are said to he in the neighborhood.
Visit to Tower.
A little beyond the city, and fur
ther down the river, the visitor finds
this district cf London terminating
in the gloomy and forbidding Tower,
the principal penitentiary of the city.
Here Queen Victoria was imprisoned
for many years.
Excellent gasoline can be had at the
American garage, immediately north
of the Tower, where motor repairs of
all kinds are also carried on.
These, however, are but the super
ficial pictures of London, gathered by
the eye of the tourist. A far deeper
meaning is found in the examination
uf the great historic monuments of
the city. The principal ones of these
are the Tower of London (just men
tioned), the British museum and West
minster Abbey. No visitor to London
should fail to see these. Indeed, he
ought to feel that his visit to Eng
land Is wasted unless he has seen
.them. 1 speak strongly on the point
because I feel strongly on it. To niy
mind there is something about the
grim fasrination of the historic Tow
er. the cloistered quiet of the museum j
and the majesty of the ancient abbey,
which will make It the regret of my
life that I didn't see any one of the
three.
The Tower of London I most cer.
tainly intended to inspect. Each day,
after the fashion of every tourist, I
wrote for myself a little list of things
to do, and I always put the Tower of
London on It. No doubt the reader
knows the kind of little list I mean.
It runs:
1. Go to bank.
2. Buy a shirt.
3. National Picture Cullery.
4. Kazor Blades.
5. Tower of London.

This intinerary, I regret to say, was
never carried out in full. I was able
at times both to go to the band and
buy a shirt in a single morning; at
other times I was able to buy l-azor
blades and almost to find the Nation
al Picture gallery. Meantime I was
urged on all sides by my London ac
quaintances not to fail to see the
Tower. "There’s a grim fascination
about the place," they said, "you
mustn't miss It.” I am quite certain
that in due course of time I should

It contains, for instance, the famous
papyrus manuscript of Thotmes II of
the first Egyptian dynasty, a thing
known to scholars all over the world
as the oldest extant specimen of what
can be called writing; indeed, one can
here see the actual evolution (I am
quoting front a work of references, or
at least from my recollection of it)
from the Ideographic cuneiform to
the phonetic syllabic script. Every
time I have read about that manu

Y.), or any such place, 1 have felt
that 1 would he willing to take a
whole trip to England to have just
five minutes at the British museum,
just five, to look at that papyrus.
The first time I went by it in a taxi.
I (elt quite a thrill. “Inside those
wiHls,’’ I thought to myself, "is the
manuscript of Thotmes II.” The next
time I actually stopped the taxi. “Is
that tlie British museum?” I asked
the driver. “I think it is something
of the sort, sir," lie said. I hesitated.
“Drive me.” I said, "to where I can
buy razor blades."
The Abbey, I admit, is indeed ma
jestic. I did not intend to miss going
into it. But I felt, as so many tourists
have, that I wanted to enter it in the
proper frame of mind. But by bad
luck I never struck both the frame of
mind and the Abbey at the same time.
But the Londoners, after all, in not
seeing their own wonders, are only
like the rest of the world. Tlio peo
ple who live in Buffalo never go to
see Niagara Falls; people In Cleveland
don’t know which is Mr. Rockefeller’s
house; and people live, and even die,
in New York without going up to the
top of the Woolworth building.
No description of London would be
complete without a reference, however
brief, to the singular salubrity and
charm of the London climate. This is
seen at its best during the autumn and
winter months. The climate of Lon
don. and Indeed of England generally,
is due to the influence of the gulf
stream. The way it works is thus:
The gulf stream as it nears the shores
of the British Isles and feels the pro
pinquity of Ireland, rises into the air.
turns into soup and comes down on
London.
At times the soup Is thin, and is. in
fact, little more than a mist; at other
times it has the consistency of a thick
potage St. Germain. London people
are a little sensitive on the point, and
flatter their atmosphere hy calling it a
fog: hut it is not; it is soup. The no
tion that no sunlight ever gets
through, and that in the London win
ter people never see the sun, is. of
course, a ridiculous error, circulated,
no doubt, by the jealousy of foreign
nations. T have myself seen the sun
plainly visible in London, without the
aid of glasses, on a November day, in
broad daylight: and again one night,
about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, I
saw the sun distinctly appear through
the clouds.
The whole subject of daylight In the
London winter is, however, one
which belongs rather to the technique
of astronomy than to a hook of de
scription. In practice, daylight is but
little used. Electric lights are burned
all the time in all houses, buildings,
railway stations and clubs. This prac
tice, which is now universally observ
ed, is called daylight saving.
The Igitidon Mind.
I have neglected, so far, to say
anything about the mind of London.
This is a thing that is always (put into
any book of discovery and observation
and I can only apologize for not hav
ing discussed it sooner. I am quite
familiar with other people's chapters
on "The Mind of America," and "The
Chinese Mind," and so forth. Indeed,
so far as I know, it has turned out
that almost everybody all over the
world has a mind. Nobody nowadays
travels even in Central America or
Thibet, without bringing back a chap
ter on "The Mind of Costa Rica,” dr
on the "Psychology of the Mongo
lian."
It is quite obvious, then, that there
is such a tiling as the mind of Lon
don: and it is all the more culpable in
‘me to have neglected it inasmuch
ns my editorial friend in New York
had expressly mentioned It to me be
fore I sailed. "What.” said he, lean
ing far over his desk, after his mas
sive fashion, and reaching out into
the air, "what is in the minds of these
people? Are they,” he added, half to
himself, though I heard him, "are
they thinking? And if they think,
what do they think?"
I did, therefore, during my stay in
London, make an accurate study of
the things that London seemed to be
thinking about. As a comparative
basis for this study I brought with me
a carefully selected list of the things
that New York was thinking about at
the moment. These T selected from
the current newspapers in the propor
tions to the amount of spare allotted
to each topic and the size of the head
ing t^at announced It. Having thus
a working idea of what I may call
the mind of New York. T was able to
collect and set beside it a list of
similar topics taken from the Lon
don press to represent the mind of
London. The two placed side, by side
made an interesting piece of psycho
logical analysis. They read as follows:
THE MIND OF THE MIND OF
NEW YORK LONDON

Looking over these lists, 1 think it
is better to present them without
comment. I feet sure that somewhere
or other in them one should detect
the heart throbs, the pulsations of
two great peoples. But I don't get

terribly like "the mind of Costa

Mississippi). "You will find them,"
he said to me "brilliant, witty, filled
with repartee." He suggested that I
should send him back, as far as
words could express it. some of this
brilliance. I was very' glad to be able
to do this, although I fear that the
results were not at all what he had
anticipated. Still, I held conversa

him, in all truthfulness, the result.
