This is, Of course. only the first chapter, and

Egypt 10 be evolved from astronomical data
The author finds u comparatively oasy to
demonstrate that the astronomical observa-
tions and temple worship Of the Egyptians
form the basis first OF Greek, and later Of
Latin temple building. In Greece. as IL
was not dominated By the rise OF the
Nile. one would not expect the year to
begin at a summer solstice. but rather at q
vernal equinox. The author Of this book has
shown that even IN pyramid times In Egypt,
the risinRs OF the Pleiades and Antares were
watched to herald the eauinotical sun. II is
not surprising. therefore. to find the
earliest temples in Greece so oriented. Mr..
+. C. Penrose. who II both an astron-
omer and an arch@oloaist, has found
that ofthe ten very ancient temples or temple
sites examined by him in Greece. four were
directed to the rising and ono to the setting Of
the Pleiades, and three to the setting Of
Antares and one to the rising thereof. The
HerRum at Argos. the oldest temple In spot
which. by common consent. is the very cradle
Of Greek civilization, was directed toward the
rising OF Antares. To the question why Sirius.
which was the paramount star in Egypt at q
time when one would expect to find her In
fuenee most important In Greece is not repre-
sented among the stars to which Greek
temples were built. the answer 10 that as the
Greek year ignored the solstice. and had ref
erence to tho vernal equinox the use OF sirius
as q warning star would not be obvious.
AZ a matter OF fact, however. Mr. Penrose
has discovered that Sirius was used In the
great temple OF Ceres. but simply for it's own
refulsence at miinight 1t is further note
worthy that In two-thirds OF the cases exam

duced from the orientation are clearly earlier
than the architectural remains now visible

respective attitudes toward Christianity Of the
humAn!sts OF the sixteenth century typinsd In

century typifled in yoltaIre. and OF the aRnos-
ties OF our own day. IL Is pointed out that
while the Reformation was Undoubtedly one OF
the products OF that great outbreak OF many

natssance. yet reformation and Professionalism
are by no means convertible terms. and there

bond OF common enmity was the
only real tie between the humAnlsts

no sttem pts hitherto made to define the extent
Of the astronomical scauirem snts Of the ERyp-
tisns and the bearing OF such data upon their
chronology and history have attracted serious
attention. What has been needed was that the

A Ball of Fire in the SKY.

People coming in from the region
south Of town Saturday morning, says
the Washington, Pa, Reporter, kept in
lquiring where the explosion was Friday
night, but no II could add to the in
formation they already possessed. It
seems that about s y. m. Friday there
was a 'detonation somewhere southwest
of town, accompanied by such q shock
as usually follows an explosion. At'Old
Concord the effect was plainly felt,
houses being shaken quite perceptibly.
at Lagonda also it was heard and felt,
and a number Of people about town
heard it.
Two boys out coon limiting near Van
Buren, state that they saw a bright ball
of ire falling to the earth in the direc-
ton of Washington. They say it seemed
to be about two by three feet. AT To-
ledo Jacob Bedillion was outside his
house at the time and tile light was SO
bright that he thought some one was
about with a lantern. He heard and
felt the conclusion, but saw no phe-
nomenon.
It would seem that the cause OF the
sound and light was an aerolite, or me-
teoric stone, the descent of a large body
of this kind being usually accompanied
by a detonation and shock, though the
reason we are not able to give. 1t has
caused considerable excitement among
the people OF the Franklins and Morris.
