THAMES EMBANKMENT AND OBELISK, LONDON.  

ONE of the greatest recent improvements in the World’s  

Metropolis is its embankment along the Thames. The wall  

next to the river is of granite, and is backed with solid masonry  

eight feet thick and forty feet high. This makes handsome drive-  

way one hundred feet in width, lighted by electricity, planted with  

trees, and having several landing piers for the river steamers. One  

of the most remarkable relics of antiquity which the world pos-  

sesses stands now upon this river thoroughfare. It is the Egyptian  

Obelisk, popularly known as “Cleopatra’s Needle, which was,  

however, hewn from the primitive volcanic granite 1500 years  

before that “Siren of the Nile” ever ensnared by her beauty Csesai  

and Mark Antony. To convey this from Alexandria to England,  

as was done in 1877, proved very expensive and difficult under-  

taking. Even after it had been successfully embarked at Alexan-  

dria, the little iron vessel which had been specially prepared for it  

was shipwrecked and temporarily abandoned in the Bay of Biscay.  

passing steamer rescued it and towed it into the harbor of  

Ferrol on the Spanish coast. Thence it was conveyed to the Ihames,  

and finally was erected here where it now stands in triumph. Yet  

one can hardly look upon this symbol of the sun’s bright rays,  

here in this city of fogs and smoke, without regarding this ancient  

monolith as an exile from land where through the entire year  

the sky is rarely darkened by cloud. Nevertheless, like many  

illustrious exiles, its sojourn on the Thames embankment will no  

doubt be of use to those who gaze upon its stately form, by remind-  

ing them of the power and glory of ancient Egypt, beside whose  

ruins London seems the creation of yesterday.
