It is 2VQ feet high. 108 foot thick at the base, tai>ering to 18 feet at the top and some 7S<> feet ih length.

Thackeray's Appetite. Thackeray, telling of a dinner he en ! joyed at Antwerp, said it consisted "of green pen soup, boiled salmon; mussels, crlmpled sk:ite. roast meat patties, inel on, carp slewed with mushrooms and j onions, toast turkey, caulitlower, til lot j of venisrn. slewed calf's ear. roast i veal, roast lamb, stewed cherries. (Iru j yere cheese nrul about twent.v-four I cakes of different kinds. Cxcept live. Ihlrtee'i aud fourtoen I ate nli. with three rolls of broad and a score of po tatoos." Those twenty potatoes remind the reader of the dreadful disillusion of Charlotte Bronte when she came to London und sat opposite her literary lion at dinner.
