Now and then one comes to a tower on the wall, and at the side of the tower a gloomy looking place where no doubt discipline was enforced. In Wigan library there is a won- derful collection of Roman coins dug up near there not long ago, and in a good state of preservation. These date back to the time of Christ, and were dropped, no doubt when the Romans found it necessary to hasten back to defend their own land from the northern invasion, Car Licenses High To turn from the days of the Ro- mans to the present age.

No Exact Record I have scen plenty of things which zo back into the fifth and sixth cen- turies, but close by 'the ruins of the chapel there are the famous stone coffins, carved in one single stone, and in order to try to fix any date for their construction, it is neces- sary to run away back before Bri- tish history was written. On a high cliff there are about five of them chiselled out of stone. The form re- sembles very much the old style coffin, the difference being that there is a little place cut in which the head might fit. The depth is about cightcen inches, and of course may have been much deeper orig- inally.

There are simi- lar. stone coffins in the home land of these people, so there seems to be support for the theory that these at Heysham were of that origin.

Be it known that the Englishman dearly loves an argu- ment, and IT heard them at it this evening. In little groups of twenty or thirty there must have been doz- ens and scores of these discussions. One man was explaining why the cotton workers of Lancashire were going to strike, and how it was that the masters sought to cut wages because they could not show profit on watered capital. Anothes had the old theory of equal distribution of wealth, while the third was arguing that the idea of there being any such place as hell hereafter had no hor- rors for the worker who was living under the present industrial condi- the girls. scores of rather fine looking men of all ages, clean-cut and erect, hut they seemed to have the edge on the ladies when it came to appear- ance.

History as it is recorded in Waest- minster Abbey, is old. Likewise it has much age spun about it when viewed at the cathedral in Chester, but all these places seem to be mere infants after one looks over a cer tain little spot at Heysham, every few yards of which scems to open a fresh chapter. Leaving Morecambe, which has grown into a famous watering place, it is only a short distance to Heys ham, but it is passing from the com paratively new into the past that is so old that tradition joins with an tiquity in seeking to provide ex planation of the things one sees there.

"When one pays his rates here he has not a great deal left for his beer," he remarked, and with that he hastened away to the house and brought out a paper showing that the rate here is 7s. 6d. on the pound assessment, and there are 20 shil- lings in the pound. Of course I do not know the method of assessment, but the figure in most places runs very high.
