ROYAL CROWN OF ENGLAND
Weighty Literally as Well as in a
National Sense.
It's Wonderful EvOIutions In Wealth
md Dignity Since the Dnys of Will
liam - The HeadEenr of Edward
ii The Hawthorn Bush Badge.

The crown made for Queen Victoria at
her coronation and which will doubtless
be used upon the like occasion in the case
of her son and successor. is the most
elaborate regal emblem ever constructed
for an English sovereign. 1t is of large
size and very weignty. being merely
held over the head CT the monarch during
the progress OF the ceremony. Its entire
surface is completely covered with jewels
its circlet. crosses, feurs -de-lis, arch
es, and mound being alike in displaying
varieties of the same precious construc-
tive materials. This coronation crown is
lined with cap OF violet velvet in ac-
cordance with usage that first appear
ed upon the great seal of Henry VIII, but
in all the earlier crowns the caps were OF
crimson or purple velvet.
The English royal crown has gradually
grown up from It's early simple form into
various aspects of elaborate splendor. Be-
fore the conquest OF Britain by the Nor
mans the headdress which appears to have
been habitually worn by the Anglo Saxon
princes was fillet Of pearls; their coins,
however. and illuminations in MSS. OF
their era show them to have been by no
means unfamiliar with nearer approach
to a true crown, in the form of radl-
ated diadem. The great seals, the coin
age, monumental efigies, and various
other contemporary representations sup
ply complete series of examples OF the
crown in its varieties OF design and en-
richment. from the time OF william the
Conqueror.
In addition to several notifications in
both the treatment and the grouping of the
adornments Of the regal circlet, the Eng
llsh crown has undergone complete
change in the character of the figures with
which the circlet has been enriched; and IL
also has had its original aspect of an open
crown completely altered by the circlet be-
ing arched over with Ieweled bands OF
gold. when the diadem thus enclosed was
surmounted by mound and cross.
The crown worn by William ! ana his
successors was a plain circlet heightened
with four spikes having trefoil heads.
Henry / appears TO have enriched me cir
clet with gems, and on his great seal the
trefoils OF his fathers crown assume 4
form resembling that OF neurs-de lis.

could illustrate better the striking differ
enee between the old and the new school
Of biologists than the very interesting
work which is being done in the Harvard
geological laboratory. under the direc-
tion of DR.. T. A. Jaggar. to show in min
iature by means of specially eontrived APP
paratus the great geological processes of
nature. Three quarters Of a century ago
the average geologist believed that the
holder phenomena of the earth's surface
the mountains and valleys. the elevation
OF islands and continents. and the depres-
sion of the ocean bed-were the result
of tremendous commissions. such as no
longer occur. Today he holds that they
were caused by the same steady. gradual
processes that we see in daily operation
all around US. The Harvard apparatus
exempliies these processes II shows, en-
a small scale and in brief space of time,
how they work themselves out In ages
and over great areas OF land. and how.
always and everywhere, they are the re-
suit of the same unyarying natural laws.
They are a practical combination If the
old theories.
Though now used mainly for class in
struction in connection with work In the
field. it is interesting to note that much
of the apparatus was originally devised to
throw light on certain obscurities in the
laws governing geological process. The
first experiments were IN ripple marks
such as one sees on beach after he tide

common fagstones used for sidewalks.
Ordinary beach structures are readily
identified from their form. but occasion

of tiny riyulets in the sand-the fos-
sill casts resemble the ycining OF leaf so
closely that even scientists have been de-
ceiyed by their appearance, and have en-
tered them with formidable Latin names
in the lists Of fossil plants. Ripple marks
are commonly, however. in parallel lines
unless they have been formed around
boulders or some other obstruction when
the lines become rsdial. They are nat. as
IL usually thought. the result of the direct
beat OF the waves, like the long '.swash
