Boadicea's Insurrectfon.

Less than twenty years later the insur-
rection under Boadicea occurred. and in
this city and the immediate neighborhood
over 10000 Romans were put to death,
while the city was burned to the ground.
But it was rebuilt in greater magnifi-
cence than before, and upon 1t was con-
ferred the dignity of "Municipium' or
free city. York being the only other town
in Britain sharing the same rights
Verulamium henceforward, until in 1876
the Roman occupation of Britain came
to an end, was uniformly prosperous.
Its streets were lined with villas and all
the customary institutions of a Roman
city. Temples, baths and theater were
among its possessions. When the coun-
try was overrun by Picts and Scots the
city fell on evil times, and its end came
when 1t was taken by the Saxons in Sic
and sacked. For nearly three centuries
1t was In ruins. and from the founding
OF the monastery In 1913 to the dawn of
the Norman era it served as a quarry for
building materials for the monks and also
for the Inhabitants of the new town
which was springing up under their pro-
lection. But in spite of this spoliation
the site may. when the deposits OF Loo
years are removed. provide rich results.
The partial and sporadic investigations
that have. already been made prove this
to be the case.

made great noise and attracted the
attention of the other workmen. who
at first did not realize that Smith had
fallen with them. He was found I'M

whole busy career that he is not to
spend his vacation in idlencss but that
he will get his rest by 4 change of
scene and by working hard along Il
new line of activity. After Il few
months in the heart of the African
wilderness in pursuit of big game he
will return to Europe, visiting the
leading countries of that continent.
whore it is certain he will get a great
welcome at the various capitals. Then,
crowned with new honors, richer by
World he will return to his native
land. And already many speculations
gets back here. 1t is safe to say that
Mr. Roosevelt himself is not making
plans that far ahead. He is letting
the distant future take care of itself,
while he attends. as usual, strictly to
the work and play at hand. Even in
the African wilderness he will not be
able to get out of the limelight and 1T
