The "era Of Diocletian'' began with his
proclamation as emperor, A. ID. 284. The
''ora OF Dlocletian" was commonly used
by Christians until tho general adoption
of the Christian era. The bitterness OF the
persecution under Dioclotian gave them
good cause to reIuember his accession.

spring chicken and hushed the still,
small voice Of the roast pig in death.
William the Conqueror was not only
remembered bitterly in the broken hearts
Of his people, but in history his name
will stand out forever because Of his
strange and grotesque designs on pos
terity.
In 1l41 Stephen was made prisoner,
and for five years he was not restored to
his kingdom. In the meantime Matilda,
the widow OF Henry I, encouraged by
the prelates, landed in England to lay
claim to the throne, and after great
deal of ill feeling and much needed as
sassination her son Henry, who had be-
come quite Large property owner in
France, invaded England and finally
succeeded in obtaining recognition as
the rightful successor to Stephen. Ste
phen died in 1853, and Henry became
king.
The feudal system, which obtained in
England for 400 years, was a good one
for military purposes, for the king on
short notice might raise an army by
calling on the barons, who levied on
their vassals, and they in turn levied on
their dependents
A feudal castle was generally built in
the Norman style of architecture. 1t
had "donjon," or keep, which was
generally occupied by the baron as a
'barroom, feed trough and cooler between
fights It was built of stone and was
lighted by means of crevices through
the wall by day and by means Of q
saucer of tallow and a string or rush
which burned during the night and
! served mainly to show how dark it was.
!, There was a front yard or fighting place
around this surrounded by high wall,
and this again by moat There was
an inner court back of the castle into
which the baron could go for thinking.
A chapel was connected with the insti-
tuition, and this was the place to which
he retired for the purpose of putting
arnica on his conscience
Underneath the castle was a large
dungeon where people who differed with
the baron had studio. Sometimes they
did not get out at all, but died there in
their sins while the baron had all the
light Of gospel and chapel privileges up
stairs
The historian says that at that time
the most numerous class in England

king, took possession Of everything, es-
pecially the treasure, before his father
was fully deceased, and by fair promises
solicited the left wing Of the royal
party, compelling the disaffected Nor
man barons to fly to France
William II and Robert, his brother,
came to blows over small rebellion
organized by the latter, but Robert
yielded at last and joined William
with view to making it hot for Hen
~, who, being a younger brother, OBJ
jected to wearing the kings cast off
reigning clothes. He was at last forced
to submit, however, and the three
brothers gayly attacked Malcolm, the
Scotch malcontent, who was compelled
to yield, and thus Cumberland became
English ground. This was in 1901.
In 1906 the crusade was creating
much talk, and Robert, who had ex-
pressed desire to lead totally differ
ent life, determined to go if money
could be raised Therefore William
proceeded to levy on everything that
could be realized upon, such as gold and
silver communion services and other
brio -brac, and free coinage was then
first inaugurated The king became 80
greedy that on the death of the arch
bishop of Canterbury he made himself
ex offfcio archbishop, 50 that he might
handle the offerings and coin the plate

There were also IS, 900 serfs. A serf
was required to be at hand night or day

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

The second eclipse OF the sun this year

petitions have started with view TO

wholly In the Antarctic and So1th Atlantic
oceans. The advantage OF the coming

and can be observed over Q long belt.

The best spot from which to observe the
passage OF the moon across the suns
face viii be at point as near the middle
OF the Journey of the shadow as possible.
That spot Will be in Siberia q few hum
bred miles before the japan sea is reached;
but even there the totally will only last
for two minutes and forty-seven seconds.
The dark hne which is TO mark the shadow
cast BY the moon will be nearly ten thou
sand miles long. though its width will be
barely one hundred miles. An observer
outside OF that line viii only see partial
eclipse.
The United States viii be represented oy
the Amherst astronomical expedition,
which is already at its post. The members
OF that body left Seattle In April for San
Francisco. where they embarked on thu

llsh three stations. one on the island Of
Zezzo and two others on the mainland, so
that. while the totally will be of too short
ination, the partial phases. lasting for
about two hours and half, may be fully
observed.
The extent Of the preparations can be
imagined when 1t Is learned that the pho
tographer OF the party has planned TO take
four hundred 10 five hundred photographs
of the sun during the momentous period
OF two minutes and forty seconds. when
the body of the sun will seem TO be com
pletely covered by the earth's satellite.
Prof. Todd. who Is to accomplish this
scientific feat. has already done much
work In calculations from which has been
determined the suns parallax from the
velocity OF light.
The corona win, as usual, be the point
OF attraction, and photographs of those
stupendous flames which shoot up from
the suns rim may perhaps tell science OF
what they are really composed and how
far out into space they reach their fiery
tongues from the molten mass which lights
up the solar system.
