STONEHENGE.
New Interest Given to These Re mains
of an Earlier Time.

tsSss t"teTcSt uIVeh 10 1ne4e Ike mains
of an Earlier Time.
From the Scientific American
The announcement that the famous and
mysterious circles of stones on Salisbury
Plain. England, known as "Stonehenge, :"
have been offered for sale. gave a new i'm
pulse to the interest which these remains
of an earlier time have always excited
1t was feared at first that the property
would be purchased and. perhaps, carried
away and erected on alien soil. The price
named for Stonehenge and for abou. i 300
acres of land adjoining was S625 900, and
up to the present time no purchaser has
been found, but it is hoped that the British
government will see their way clear to buy
this remarkable archaeological monument
or at least some patriotic purchaser will
buy it and guard it as 1t deserves.
The English Illustrated Magazine recent
ly had an illustrated article dealing with
the subject with photographs taken from
new points of view, and from this we CLEAN
our facts Like all standing stones Stone
henge Is, of course, a mystery and all solu-
tons Of this eternal riddle must al best be
guesses. The name is corruption of the
Saxon Stan-hengtst, the upIifted or hanging
stones; and this has, no doubt, given rise
to the legend of enlargement and altera-
tfon by the British king Ambrosius aided
by Merlin, during the period of Hengist
Although absolute truth Is impossible the
views OF dutlQuarleS concerning the origin
of Stonehenge are worth considering. Some
attribute the circles to the Phoenicians, or
at least to Phoenician influence. and con
meet them with Baal worship; others favor
the familiar theory of Celtic or Druiaical
origin The remains have also been ascribed
to the Danes and Romans. The opinions as
to its age are legion. some holding that the
circles must have been formed in the CEN
fury before the Christian era, others placing
them as late as 500 A. D. The old puzzle
as to the mechanical power EMPLOYED is
here, of course, particularly ins!stent on ac-
count of thes ponderous crosspieces of the
trilithons. 1t is safe to conclude that the
stones of the inner circle and inner oval
have been brought from a distance, and are
of earlier origin than the others Among
more recent theories as to the origin Of
Stonehenge is that Of Sir John Lubbock
who inclines to the opinion that the circles
were erected during the bronze age in Brit
ain. 1t is, however, not improbable that
various portions of the monument should
be assigned to various dates.

LYMAN PRAIRIE.

1t was so hot last week-so hot that
Jimmie Foley's think tank began to
stew. This is what he says about it:
Yesterday it got up to a number of
degrees over one hundred in the shade
and everybody lost count. 1t was a
bold man who dared look at the ther-
mometer at all. There was nothing in
it but nervous prostration. 1t was
hotter than a'race after CREASED pig
at Dutch picnic. At O'Clock in the
afternoon it was 103 in the shade and
the temperature was still climbing. 1t
went up like the price of wheat just
before number of sure thing specu-
lators got into the game. 1t differs
from the price of wheat in that it is
staying up. In the middle of the after
noon fat man looked at the thermom-
eter and ran down on the sidewalk in
puddle of perspiration. He has not
been identified.
Sc yeral yellow dogs exploded dur
ing the day, and a setting hens
feathers caught fire on the nest and
roasted the eggs. 1t was hot enough
to boil eggs anywhere. A cow on the
prairie lay down on the parched earth
and was barbecued before she real
lied her melancholy condition. A
fence-rail warped off and struck a ped
estrian, knocking him cold. This was
the only cold thing yesterday.
Spikes were drawn out of various
structures by the heat and fell in
showers. Tin roofs melted and cell
luloid collar worn by an overdressed
gentleman exploded with loud report.
The rubber neck of travelling man
melted and left his head looping down
like wilted sun flower.
A cake of ice took fire and burned
up while being delivered a distance of
eleven feet from the wagon. Ahorse's
shoes got so hot that they burned the
street crossing, and the fire depart
ment was called out to extinguish the
| flames.

A Sad Accident.

A Sad Accident.
The Minneapolis Times of Tuesday
morning has the following under date
of Chicago, Monday:
Rev. Morn, G. Whitney, SO years
old, civil war veteran, residing at
Grey Eagle, Mimi, who was attending
the G. A. r. encampment here, was
knocked down and trampled upon by
a runaway horse at North and Mil
waukee avenue, this afternoon, and
died two hours later misunderstanding
consciousness.
The accldent was witnessed by sew
eral hundred people, who shouted a
warning to the veteran jus. before he
was struck by the horse. The ground
where Mr.. Whitney was walking was
slippery, and as the animal was upon
him the old man slipped and fell. Be-
fore he could get out of the way the
iron shoes of the horse struck him in
the face and he sank to the pavement.
The front wheels of the wagon passed
over the mans body. Mr.. Whitney
was at once taken to the ST. Elizabeth g
hospital, and a message was sent to
the wife and children.
Mr.. Whitney is very highly esteemed
by all Who knew him, and his death is
severe shock to his hosts of friends.
He was pastor Of the United Brethren
church, a man of the ability and ex-
allied christian character.
