Good news is it. therefore, that the Clerk's Well. in Farringdon Road, is to be marked so that passers-by may note its presence and that a march is to be made for the well of St. Clement in the Strand. The latter has been obscured these - 50
years
"Another relig of old London has lately passed away: the holy well of St. Cle ment. on the north side of St. Clement Danes Church, has been filled in and cuvered over with earth and rubble, in order to foru”, part of the foundation of the Law Courts of the future."
This was written in 1974. Sad to think that a place which is supposed to exist for the discovery of truth should have Slled up a well, at the bottom of which truth is supposed to lie.
WELLS EVERYTHING.
Wells were everything to old London. They determined how much and in what direction it should grow. The rain soak- ed into the gravel and was held up by the bed of London clay, and was thus pre served in a great underground reservoir which offered a never-failing source of supply to the shallow wells which for merly abounded throughout London. Hence Clerkenwell, Holywell, and Bag. nigge Wells. Professor Prestwich point.

The early growth of London followed unerringly the direction of this bed of gravel, and Professor Huxley, elaborat ing the text, said that:-.
Settlement was quite impossible where the gravel was absent and the clay ex- |posed. Indeed, it was not until an in- dependent source of water was supplied by the great water companies that a po- pulation was established on the clay dis tricts of Camden Town, St. John's Wood, and Notting Hi
ST. CLEMENT'S WELL.
St. Clement's. Well, the hunt for which has begun, was something more than a Hole in the ground whence our angestore alaked their thirst what time they were not drinking wine or strong al
The scholars of Westminster and the youth of the City resorted bither in the even. ing when they were disposed to take in airing, but others ente too:
i
Round this holy well. in the early Christian era, powly baptised converts, clad in white robes, were wont to assemblą
to
commemorate Ascension Day and Vhitsuntide; and, in later times, after the murder of Thomas à Becket had made Canterbury the-resort of pilgrims from all parts of England, the holy well of St. Clement was a favourite halting place of the pious cavalcades for rest and re- freshment.

When. Holywell was only so in name. and much decayed and marred with filthiness," St. Clement's Well
curbed about square with bard stone, kept cleane for common use, and always full. So, we may hope; it will be, when it is brought to the light of day again after half a century of oblivion.
BOOKS CHAINED. IN LIBRARIES.
TREASURES HUNDREDS OF YEARS OLD.
AS CLEAR AS MODERN PRINT.
A curiousity which is commonly missed by the countless tourists who mike holi- day in the lovely valley of the Wye, but has been much enjoyed by the many who have visited Hereford for the Three Choirs festival, is the chained librarie of Hereford, says London: paper.
The old city boasts two of the four chained libraries that survive in the whole of England. (The others are at | Wimborne and Grantham.) One of these is housed in the vestry of the Church of All Saints. The other a great collection of treasures, many of them beyond price is the cathedral fibrary, in the clois-
ters.
Here there remain in their original state-just as medieval scholars read them in days when books were among the costliest of luxuries-some 300 chained volumes, the greater part manuscript,
Many of these books-theological and legal treatises are contemporary with the earliest Norman and Early English portions of the cathedral, and have been in possession of the Chapter since the days of the 12th century Hereford bishops Richard the Capella and Robert de Bethune.
*
EARLIEST PRINTED BOOKS. The earliest MS. is the beautifully written Anglo-Saxon Gospels," volume ascribed to circa 800. A great treasure is a Breviary of about 1280 (Hereford Us) with music-the plain song notation as clear and legible as modern print would be.
There is a noble collection of some of the earliest printed hooks, including a superb copy of Caxton's
Golden Legend" (1483).
The chains and the rings by which the chains are attached to the wood boards of the books are of an alloy, the exact composition of which is not known, defy-" ing rust..
A few of the volumes, such as the Anglo-Saxon Gospels and the Breviary, are under glass, but the most part are on their old chains and may be reached down and rend on the desic below the shelves, just as they have been these many hundreds of years.
An hour in the upper chamber of the Hereford cloisters transports one to an English scholar's life under the early Plantagenets.

BROTHER AND SISTER.
REVELATION TEARS AFTER MARRIAGE.
Hornce Stephen Maplesden, 23, and Ethel Susannah Maplesden, 21, brother and sister, were committed for trial at Adelaide recently on the charge of hav- ing married.
The evidence showed that the family home was broken up when the accused were small children. Both were placed under the care of "the State children's department.
Fifteen years later they met as strang- ers with different names and became fond of each other. They married and had a chill.
Subsequently their mother reappeared and identified both. The son informed the authorities and pathetically told the count that he was anxious and willing to keep his sister and child.
To bring economic contentment to a people is of the very essence of a pence | work.-Sir Henry Strakosch,
Parties come to different conclusions, not because one is absolutely right and the other absolutely wrong, but because the truth bas many sides and can never be upset,r. Ramsay MacDonald.
