ANCIENT SUN DIALS.
How the Flight of the Hours Was In
dictated Long Ago.

1t is probable that the earliest sun
dial was simply the spear of some no.
mad chief stuck upright in the ground
before his tent. Among those desert
wanderers, keen to observe their sur
roundings. it would not be difficult
thing to notice the shadow shortened
as the sun rose higher in the sky and
that the shortened shadow always
pointed in the same direction~north.
The recognition would have followed
very soon that this MONDAY shadow
changed in its length from day to day.
A six-foot spear would give a shadow
at MONDAY in latitude 40 degrees of
twelve feet at one time of the year and
of less than two feet at another time.
This instrument, so simple, so easily
carried, so easily set up may well have
begun che scientific study OF astrOn-
omy, for it lent itself to measurement,
and science is measurement, and prob
ably we see it expressed In permanent
form IN the obelisks of Egyptian solar
temples, though these no doubt were
retained merely as solar emblems ages
after their use as actual instruments
of observations had ceased. An up
right stick, carefully plumbed, stand
Ing on some level surface, may, there
fore, we'll make the first advance upon
the natural horizon. A knob at the
top of the stick will be found to render
the shadow more easily Observed
