RELICS OF ROMAN LONDON
interesting Discoveries Made When
for Any Purpose the Soil Is Dug
Into at Some Depth.

Roman London lies buried about
eighteen feet below the level of Cheap
side. In nearly all parts of the city
there have been discovered tessellated
pavements, Roman tombs, lamps.
vases, sandals, keys, ornaments, weap-
ons, coins and statues of the Roman
gods.
When, a little over century ago,
deep sections were made for the sew
ers in Lombard street, the lowest
stratum was found to consist of tes-
sellated pavements. Many colored
dice were found lying scattered about.
and above this stratum was a thick
layer of wood ashes, suggesting the
debris of charred wooden buildings.
While building the Exchange work
men came upon gravel-pit full OF
oyster shells, bones of cattle, old san
dals and shattered pottery. Two pave
ments were dug up under the French
church in Threadneedle street, and
other pavements have been cut
through in several parts of the city.
The soil seems to have risen over Ro-
man London at the rate of nearly a
foot a century. Still further must the
searcher dig to find the third London,
the earlier London of the Britons.

BRITISH FREE TEUTONS
RELEASE MEN SEIZED FROM
AMERICAN STEAMER CHINA.
England Liberates SO Germans and
Austrians Following Demand
Made by the U. S.

London, May S.-The British gov
eminent has decided to release i'm
mediately the 38 Germans and Aus
trians who were taken from the Amer
lean steamship China,
The action of the British authorities
in ordering the release of the seized
passengers on the China was not I'M
expected, as it was known that the
last American demand declined to adj
nit any form of legality in the reasons
given by the foreign office for their de-
tention.
The prisoners are held at some
place in the Orient.
The Germans and Austrians were
removed from the China by the Brit
ish auxiliary cruiser Laurentic Feb
ruary 10, while the China was en- route
from Shanghai to San Francisco. The
United States requested Great Britain
to release these men and, being met
with a declination, sent a second
note.
The British authorities charged
that the SO men were concerned in
plot for a revolution in India.

THREE ZEPPELINS DESTROYED
Allies Bring Down DirigibIe, Making
a Total Of Thirty-One Vic
Tins in War.

London, May S.-Two more Yep
pelins were destroyed on Friday by
allied gunfi1e, making three of the
German dirigibles destroyed within
three days and a total of 81 officially
reported wrecked since the start of
the war.
Of the two latest victims one was
brought down by one of the British
light cruiser squadrons off the Schles-
wig coast and the other was brought
down after raid on Saloniki, only
one of it's crew of 80 escaping.
The Zeppelin LEO was blown ashore
on the Norwegian coast after return
ing from a raid on the east coast of
England and Scotland. When the dis
abled balloon began to be carried away
by strong wind the Norwegian mill
tary authorities at Stavanger blew up
the air vessel. The Zeppelin exploded
with great defamation and was burned.

CHAPTER XIV.

l boiled the water, but it was Maud
who made the coffee. And how good
it was! My contribution was canned
beef fried with crumbled sea biscuit
and water. The breakfast was a sue
cess, and we sat about the fire much
longer than enterprising explorers
should have done, slipping the hot
alton.
l was confident that we should find
a station in some one Of the coves, for
l knew that the rookeries of Boring
sea were thus guarded; but Maud ad-
vanced the theory-to prepare me for
disappointment, l do believe, If dis
appointment were to come-that we
had discovered an unknown rookery.
She was in very good spirits, how
ever, and made quite merry in accept
ing our plight as a grave one.
IF you are right" l said, then we
must prepare to winter here. Our
food will not last, but there are the
seals. They go away in the fall, so
I must soon begin to lay in a supply
of meat Then there will be huts to
build and driftwood to gather. Also,
we shall try out seal fat for lighting
purposes. Altogether, We'll have our
hands full if we find the island Is I'M
inhabited. Which we shall not, I
know"
But she was right. We sailed with
a beam wind along the shore, search
ing the coves with our glasses and
landing occasionally. without finding
a sign of human life. There were no
beaches on the southern shore, and by
early afternoon we rounded the black
promontory and completed the cir
cumnavigation of the island. l esti-
mated its circumference at twenty-five
miles. its width varying from two to
five miles; while my most conserva-
tive calculation placed on its beaches
two hundred thousand seals.

Kitten Saves Girls Life.

Out In California a kitten saved q
little twelve-year-old girl from proba-
BILE death. The girl and the kitten
went for walk. After short time
the kitten returned alone and kept
walking up and down in front of the
girls mother crying pitifully. 1t was
trying to attract the attention of the
mother. and every time it thought it
succeeded it would walk off and, not
seeing the mother follow. would re-
turn and cry all the harder.
Finally the mother noticed the per-
Torrance and decided to follow the lit
tie creature the next time it repeated
the affair, as she thought it strange
it should act so.
The kitten led the way to the end
of a recreation pier, where the child
was found hanging head downward
from large spike in pile. She had
fallen from the pier and her clothing
had caught on the spike.
Her mother Immediately rescued
her, but she was barely conscious.

minutes longer she would have been

with myriads of seals. 1t was from
them that the great believing went
