LONDON'.S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the di rection of exploring ancient remains will be grati fled to learn that the Society of Antiquaries has succeeded in securing the preservation of very fine fragment of the great Roman wall around London, which has just been laid bare, 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 fifth 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.
 It Is situated near Newgate street, close to a new annex of the general postofice. The frag- ment, which Is that of great curved bastion, is 50 feet long, 20 feet high and feet wide. The present summit lies several feet below the sur face of the ground The whole Is in wonderful state of preservation
 The material is that known as "Kentish rag" supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing clearly the characteristic layers or bands of red tiles, such may be seen at Burgh castle, Pe- vensey and Peterborough The interesting relic is to be built around, that it will lie in 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 it undoubtedly re- mains below the houses today which are largely built upon it upon the securest of foundations.

body and soul expression spoiled by the self consciousness of trying to hold together so many unrelated parts.
 The most splendid regalia at the Viennese court is that of the archduchess Marie Josepha wife of Duke Otho. She has just had them set In a new and massive design by the court 5eweler A stomacher give as illustration. The large emeralds arranged that they can be de- taehed and other colored stones clasped in the same settings; thus the archduchess has rubies, sapphire pink topaz anad immense diamonds of the same size, she may change to suit her toilets Also all the sprays can be taken to pieces and worn as smaller ornaments massed to- gether in different designs This fashion was introduced by the Empress Elizabeth, who de- lighted in such combination and would cover the whole front of court garment with complex de- sign. Such may be done with modern artistic design if made by special jeweler, and is venient to those who may only possess a few pieces. Thus girdle may separate into brooch. pendant, cloak clasp, necklace, at will.
 There is vaporous blonde actress at the Comedie Franchise whose favorte color is sky blue, which she clasps with a girdle of emerads so valuable that big policeman never loses sight of her when wearing it on the stage off. This appreciation of the charm of related blue and green and violet is comparatively new to us though always known to the orient and to an tquity.
 Emeralds are usually cut in simpler form than diamonds and the corundum, ruby, family of gems. The LdDle cut, square or ODlOng, With large, flat face and beveled edges, the lower sur face in long, narrow facets. Their value depends upon the tone transparency and especially in the western world the 1awlessness of the gem, which, if of dark velvet depth may even be worth more than the diamond, though the price put upon all expensive gems by the leading American jewell CTS is entirely fictitious. The "fawless emerald has become a classic comparison for perfection, as nearly every stone is full of little rifts or clouds or discooratons that make it unfit for the split superatives of modern taste; to the oriental mind nothing is more beautiful than beauty: each stone Is but note of color in general harmony and the eastern jeweler has no preju dice against flaws of colors' and finds wor- thy and dignifed place for manay a gem that our jewel butchers would ncontinently cast of.
 At recent dinner I noted the chain a beautiful arm next to me. Heavy links of bright polished gold carrying with little relation five great cabochon emeralds, divided by four large diamonds, sodered to them.
 If the diamonds had been replaced with tur- quoises or yiolet-berys olivines or peacock opals their great value would have suffced to pay for some real art work in enamel or design. Then the emeralds themselves were so perfectly matched" they might well have been bits of glass So equal in tone all mysterious magic gone-no thought of Druid forehead or impris- oned spring-right from the factory these looked

POLE FAKER OF LONG AGO

It is told of titled Englishman that when his son explained his folly in going down coal mine by saying that he spoiled his clothes as to be able to say that he had performed the feat, re- piled: Why did you say that you had been down the mine and did not go?" This method appears to have been followed by James Knox de Bolduc a monk, who, according to a Paris con- temporary. says the Army and Navy Journal made his polar voyage in 1865. This Is the pole as described by this Bolduc:
 At the pole one finds the place where all the waves of the concentrate to disappear in the same whirlpool. Four great islands surround this precipice, separated by four great canals ceeding which the divided seas An enor- nous rock, quite black. and 23 miles in circum- ference, marks the pole itself.
 "The unfortunate ships which venture into these attitudes are immediately lost. if they are not assisted by favorable winds"
 The Civil and Military Gazette of Lahore, h. dia, suggests that the account of Bolduc may be found in the "Teutsche Acta Eruditorium" (1712).

 Don't value the emerald on account of it's com. mercial value but account of the matchless value of its tone in relation to other tones. Some times a touch of enamel, chrysoprase or tur- quoise does well. If you attain to its glory it is great privilege to it with other things that show your right to such beauty, but not simply in display, as if bidding for the prize of a gem show.

Indeed, so pure was its power that when the eye of a serpent met the eye of an emerald the serpent became immediately blind. or perhaps had to wear glasses like the cobra the rest of his life. Seeresses of cid used to hold an emerald beneath their tongues so the incoming wave of psy- chic vibration might be met by it's force and not utterly overwhelm them.

MORE ATTENTION NEEDED

A meeting of the North Hill I'M

ing in the Francis Willard school.
The question of a new school was
discussed and the water and cleo
trio light problem also came up for
discussion. A new public school IL
needed for Green's addition, as the
children OF both Green's addition
and Glenwood overcrowd the Fran
els Willard school. 1t was decided
to ask the city for q standpipe to
be placed on the top of the north
hill, as at present. the one stand
pipe is not sufficient to supply the
communities, and committee was
appointed to confer with the com.

ming north ON the Post street line
are overcrowded every evening, and
the residents have asked for an In
crease in car service during the
evening rush hours.
Believing that hte people In the
more central sections Of the city
have no idea of the existing condi-
tons in the outlying districts, the
club has under advisement the idea
of appointing q committee to wait
on the charter revision committee
and advise them Of certain provis.
ions needed in the charter for their
benefit.
The next meeting of the club will

junction with delegation from the
