QUEEN ELIZABETH'S ELM.
A massive trunk, almost entirely hidden by foliage, is all that remains of the centuries, old elm beneath the shade of which, according to tradition, Queen Elizabeth rested in her barge after a pleasant trip from town to the countryside of Heme Hill. Last year the old elm, which flourishes just inside the grounds of a house in Half Moon Lane, with motor-buses passing within a few feet, was operated on with a view to prolonging its life, says' a London journal. The " operation " was successful, and the trunk, some 12ft." high, is now a mass of leaves.
