DUNGEON LECTURE.
FASCINATING LORE OF THE TOWER.
STAIRWAY DUELS.
Why is the Tower of London called the Tower and not, like all similar buildings the world over, the Castle of London?
The answer to that question was one of the fascinating points of the lecture given in the Martin Tower of the Tower by Mr. Allen Walker, the London University Extension lecturer,
This lecture was the first of a series on the Tower to last all the summer, every Tuesday and Thursday at 11 a.m. Visitors will be able on those days to purchase tickets-1s. 6d, with entrance to the Tower at the entrance of the fortress itself. After the lecture there will be a conducted visit re the places mentioned in it,
was
The lecture, which more or less a trial demonstra- tion, was a great success. Parents: should in future take their boys,. who will be only too glad to go to a lecture with lantern slides given in a dungeon. For that is what it amounts to. The sixty or 80 visitors present sat be- low the level of the ground in a circular room with old stone walls of unbelievable thickness, and behind the lecturer was a deep and narrow embrasure or doorway as romantic as you will.
Defending the Stairs.
One thing, Mr. Walker said, gripped everybody. In most of the towers the stairway narrows to little or nothing to the right as the left. The steps are mere you ascend, and broadens out to triangles. You would though, guess the stirring reason for this.

Nerve - Strength
in hot climates
“I am stronger than ever before,” wrote a Sanatogen-user, after having taken this preparation for a time.
A hot climate has made many a man a nervous wreck. Remember, however, that you can be strong and full of energy, if you take Sanatogen regularly.
Sanatogen by the power of its constituents- albumin and phosphorus-infuses into the cells of nerves, blood and body, exactly those elements which build up nerve-strength lastingly.
Prof. Mann, formerly of Oxford University, wrote
The Lancet:
"A building-up process goes on in the serves after the administration of Sanatogen."
