The Stone of Scone.

The most interesting object in the
whole of Great Britain is, perhaps,
the famous "Stone of Scone. which
forms the seat of the English corona
ton chair. This extraordinary stone
was brought to London by Edward
l., from Scotland, as one of the
principal spoils of the campaign
after his defeat of the Scotch. 1t
had been used in Scotland for centu
ries as a throne, on which the Scot
tish kings were crowned. Indeed,
legend carries its antiquity back to
the days of the old patriarchs, and
asserts it To have been the indentical
stone on which Jacob slept at Bethel.
Curious to say, it was predicted as
early as the fourteenth century that
tho Scotch kings, if they kept this
sacred stone from being profaned,
would, in time, have their revenge
by becoming kings of England. a
prophecy which was literally fulfilled
in the beginning of the seventeenth
century, when James vi. of Scotland
became James |. of England. Ed
ward l. had wooden chair made in
which he enclosed the Stone of
Scone, this chair being the one still
to be seen in the Abbey of Westmin-
ster. Every subsequent monarch of
Great Britain down to Queen Nicto-
ria has been crowned while sitting on
this historic stone. Biologists who
have gwen the stone a professional
examination, doubt the legend con-
Meeting it with Jacobs dream and
the Holy Land, declaring it to be
composed of the common red sand
stone so well known on the coast of
Scotland.
