Interesting to Archeoloqists.

A Roman-British grave has just
been discovered on Ham hill, Somer-
set. England. On the east side of the
Roman encampment was unearthed
the complete skeleton of a young
adult, probably male The grave
was about two feet in depth, lying due
north and south, the head and shoul-
ders being inclosed by slabs of Ham
stone. ON the right of the head lay a
shallow dish of Roman-BritSh black
pottery. This was broken in three
places, probably by the super-encum-
bent earth. but with the exception of
small portion of, the rim It was pos
Sihle to restore It. Near the head lay
a crude and barbarouS copy of Il Third
or Fourth century A. u. Roman brass
coin. This had probably been placed
In the mouth to enable the dead man
to pay his fare to Charon, the ferry
man, for taking him across the StyX.
Near the right hand of the skeleton
lay an oval hammer stone or FOUNDER.

MAKING BurqlaTs Tools.

The "Black museum" at Scotland
Yard has recently acquired fine set
of house-breaking tools which had
been abandoned by their owner after
a burglary. These instruments show
wonderful workmanship. There is
collapsible jimmy that folds up in
the pocket, rope ladder Of silk that
fits into the palm of the hand, num-
Der of keys and lock-picking instru-
ments, and a neat oxygen-acetylene
blow-lanp. Where do burglars obtain
these marvellous tools? They are ex-
perts at making skeleton keys and so
on, but they are not capable of max
ing the other implements. No respect
able firm manufactures such articles,
and although a small quantity is
made secretly by employees of repu-
table firms, the majority come from
special factories engaged in nothing
else but making burglars tools. Such
factories are hidden away in back
streets, and 1t Is almost impossible to
locate tham.
