English newspapers note that the Earl of Verulam, who owns the sand upon which was built the ancient Ko- man city of Verutamium, has givén permission to the Society of Antiqua- ries to nndertake excavations, which will shortly be commenced The site of Verulamium lies a mile or so from the centre of 8t.

One of the most remarkable careers of modern times closed with the death of Mr. Tom Price, Premier of South Australis. Many years dgo, in the humble position of stonemason, he helped to build the Parliament House; afterwards he sat in that very House as Prime Minister. He was a Welshman, born at Brymbo, in Den- bighshire. His father was a working builder, and he himself wae taught the stonemason's trade in Liverpool. When only twelve years of e he saved 6d. a week,in order to buy a second-hand \ coat at a pawnbroker's shop, so that he could attend the Sunday school. When he did attend the sleeves were too long. He dealt with them summarily. "The beys," he related, "produced a bigger boy to flatten me out. I finished him." attended the same Sunday school for many yeprs, and eventually - became superintendent. ben he married "the prettiést girl in that school," and . with her emigrated in 1881, on account of alarming symptoms of lung trouble, to 'Sydney, moving to Ade- laide a few years later. At Adelaide Tom Price helped, as an mason," to build. the Parliament House, in which he sat since 1906 as Prime Minister. His suceess in life was due entirely to his gifts.of seli- reliance and perseverance. "After 1 arrived 'in Adelaide," he said, "I immediately got work with the lead- ing contractor there. 1 was with him seven years. "Soon after I left him I became Clerk of Works for the Gov- ernment, which was at that time erecting some big works at a place called Islington, close to Adelaide. 1 was asked by the Labor party to.be- come a candidate for ane of the big- gust electoral districts of the State I was returned (this was in 1893), béating the old member for the dis Jriet by oné vote. Four years after. that 1 became leader of the Parlia- mentary Labor party.

As in the past, so for many generations in the future, the achievements of Tom Price, the Welsh ftonemason, will 'be rightly' held up as a great example 'of what sjerling merit .may attain.

A Royal Fish St orey. nave 'prerogatives of English rulers in olden times related to rovdl fish Royal .fish are sturgeon and whale, which are. considered the finest of deep-sea fish. For 'this reason, "on account of their supvrior excellence,' whenever one of these fish was thrown: nshore or caught near the' coast oi England it became the property ot e King. This scems very unjust to those who might secure the whale or Sturgeon, for they were compelled to give it up without receiving any pay.' However, -the King had soms yound for claiming these royal fish guarded and protected -the sea¥<from pirates and robbers, and in those days Yiore were very many of them The most peculiar feature of the 'ustom of. royal fish was that, while the whole of the sturgeon belonged to the King, only half of the whale 1id™ For it was.a prerogative," as it was -called, 'of the Quezn that the tail of every whale caught in the way described was her property, while the head only was the .King's.. The réa on for thiz division, as given by the old records, was to furnich Queen's wardrobe with the whalebone and this reason is more amusing than thé eustom is peenliar, for the wheole- hone lies entirely .in the heed of the whale.
