They do novappear to have been dumped there, for they were evently placed in layers in material which is about nine inches" thick.

A piece of Roman glass has been found near what appears to be a seam of red sandstone, which gives evidence of having been burnt. It is of the colour of the Samian pottery made by the Romans. Maps which have been in existence for several centuries do not show any buildings at the spot, which is about half a mile away from the Roman sito discovered recently by Mr. Winbolt, the archeologist.

Its father lives in the Temple. Col. Hodge is stil under 40, yet has lived a full and busy life. His first job was that of a pitboy in a Fifeshire mine, where, aged 14, he took charge of a team of pit ponies. On Sundays he used to walk to Kirkcaldy to listen to the parish minister whose beautiful delivery made the boy long to be an orator. Gradually he educated himself at night school and polytechnic. In due course he became a chartered account. Then came the war, a commission, and four years of distinguished service. In 191g he got called to the English Bar. and combines politics with a
