LoNDoN,S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the d.
recton of exploring ancient remains will be graft
fed to learn that the Society OF Antiquares has
succeeded in securing the preservation Of a very
fine fragment of the great Roman wall around
London. which has Just been laid bare a London
letter to the New York Sun says. From time to
time portions of the great structure. the external
wall Of defense built about the city In the fourth
nth century. have been uncovered In digging
foundations while rebuilding streets houses.
These have rarely escaped demolition. The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit of
the public.
II IL situated near Newgate street, close to
new annex Of the general postofnce. The frag-
ment. which is that Of great curved bastion.
is so feet long. 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the
face of the ground. The whole is in a wonderful
state of preservation.
The material is that known as "Kentish rag"
supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing
clearly the characteristic layers bands OF red
tiles, such as may be seen Burgh castle, Pc
vensey and Peterborough. The interesting relic is
to lbe built around. that it will lie in a cave
which may be entered by stairs and inspected by
artificial light The line of the great Roman wall
is well known and much of 1t undoubtedly re-
mains below the houses to-day. which are largely
built upon 1t as upon the securest of foundations

the wheat now raised for stock feed

The new wheat is produced by a
system Of interbreeding winter wheat
and winter emmer and is the result OF
II years experimenting with the va
rious commercial grains. The new
wheat has not been given a name and
the seeds have been carefully guarded.
The new wheat was obtained from
