Foundation Stone Casket
■Several telephone instruments and a London telephone directory were recently sealed up in a casket and placed under the foundation stone of the new London telephone headquarters. If London should be destroyed, or submerged by the sea, and come up again, men of a future civilisation will be just as much interested in digging out present-day history as present antiquarins arc in digging out the secrets of ancient civilisations. The enormous building will house about 2000 workers and have huge switchboards on six of its nine floors.
