GAS NOT UNsANITARY.

that electricity as an illuminant is

RELICS OF ROMAN CONQUEST
Systematic Excavations at London
Have Proved Intensely Interest
Ing TO ArcheoIoolsts.

Excavations have been carried out
in the crypt Of Bow church, Cheap
side, London, by the British Arch
Biological society with the object of
discovering any Roman remains. A
hole was dug in the center portion Of
the crypt near the east wall and was
carried down to a considerable depth.
AT the bottom of this excavation two
rows of Roman boarding were dis
covered running towards the south
west. One set of boarding had two
pointed piles at the back. These
were probably supporting the banks
of a small stream. Similar wood
work has been found in other parts
of the city. The two piles and one
of the boards, all in a fair state of
preservation, were taken out, and are
now lying in the crypt. Various
pieces of Roman brick and roofing
tiles, fragments Of medieval pottery,
four small pieces Of Samian red pot
terry of the first century, as well as
bones of oxen and other animals, and
human bones, some of which APP
peared to date back to the Roman
period, were discovered: The exca-.
vations showed that two continuous
foundations from four to
seven feet wide exist east to west be-
meath the column of the center crypt.
The Roman remains and timber have
been offered to the city corporation
for preservation in the Guildhall mu-
scum.

An Amsterdam report says Karl
Helfferich, Secretary of the Treas
ury, explained to the Reichstag that
the new German war loan would
completely exhaust the Empires
financial resources and that the in
crease in exchequer bonds would
cause bankruptcy. Therefore, it
was needful to prepare for an hon.
orable peace. Chancellor Won
Bethman-H lllweg, according to the
same report, declared that the diff
culties of the Empire were increas-
ing. DR.. BARNARD Dernburg's re-
port of the failure of his mission IN
the United States aud other neutral
countries made strong impression
on the conference. Lieut.. Gen.
Won Moltke, former chief of the gen.
eral staff. declared that he fully
agreed with the Chancellor and
added that only those not fully in
formed on the situation could hope
for the possibility of complete Rus
sian defeat.

made last spring on the wood lot
at the Missouri Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. The Station

suited to the dry, shallow soil.
Inquiries addressed to CONNER

to be had for forest planting ow-

material as stocks on which to
graft ornamental jumpers. The
Station was thus obliged to turn
to a dealer in pulled" stock,
this term meaning small trees
that have sprung up naturally in
the woods. The particular batch
of trees purchased had been dug
in the Ozarks in the early spring
