great distance the Chelsea Gas Works add a striking feature of
rotundity. Passing northward, one observes Westminster Bridge,
notable as a principal station of the underground railway. This
station and the one next above it, the Charing Cross one, are
connected by a wide thoroughfare called Whitehall. One of the best
American drug stores is here situated. The upper end of Whitehall
opens into the majestic and spacious Trafalgar Square. Here are
grouped in imposing proximity the offices of the Canadian Pacific and
other railways, The International Sleeping Car Company, the Montreal
Star, and the Anglo-Dutch 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 the Square itself enables the
American visitor to find them without difficulty. Passing eastward
towards the heart of the city, one notes on the left hand the
imposing pile of St. Paul's, an enormous church with a round dome on
the top, suggesting strongly the first Church of Christ (Scientist)
on Euclid Avenue, Cleveland.

But the English churches not being labelled, the visitor is often
at a loss to distinguish them.

A little further on one finds oneself in the heart of financial
London. 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 Co., and many others,--have
either their offices or their agents. The Bank of England--which
acts as the London Agent of The Montana Farmers Trust Company,--
and the London County Bank, which represents the People's Deposit
Co., of Yonkers, N.Y., are said to be in the neighbourhood.
