The Age Of Some Temples.

Near Fort Yuma the mummy Of an
ancient parsonage has been found ia q
sitting posture in an artificial cave fac
ing the entrance, which il 30 oriented
rs to admit to him the first rays Of the
rising sun. On what day Of the year the
rays are so caught does not appear, but
from the date of the discovery it would
seem to be at or near the vernal equi-
nox. This is . matter of extreme in
terest. A scientific person is now en-
gagged in the Investigation Of the orienta-
ton Of Egyptian and archaic Greek
temples In many cases he is able to
determine the star to which they were
directed and then, by an astronomical
determination of its place, fix the
approximate date of the temples foun-
dalton. That Stonehenge was ar
ranged in obedience to similar rule is
also known. The same motive has
been operative in Inca temples of Peru.
The present discovery, linking tho
operations of the primitive mind on this
continent with that Of
the other ancient races named is sig
nificant. Should it turn out that
the construction of this cave does really
recognise the equinoctiA position of
