A Royal Baby Carriage.

Princess Juliana of Holland has
joined the ranks of the ~arayanner
A marvellous construction-should it
be called a ''carambulator" or a car
apram?'-has been devised for the
little Dutch princess wherein, when
the weather is cold and the sun shines
only in certain parts of the Het Loo,
she can be conveyed from the palace
to the sunshine.
1t is, as a matter of fact, a giant
covered perambulator containing a
stove and seats for nurses, besides
the bassinette for the royal baby; and
it is, of course, drawn by a horse. If
she were an English princess she
would at once be nominated patroness
of the Caravan club,
The Queen of Holland herself is
said to have invented this new baby
carriage for her daughter. 1t is not
the first time she has displayed in
genuity of an inventive character.

Collectors of Specimens.

Students of the cfustacea often find
the cod a useful assistant collector.
Thus the circular crab cen to be a
fayorite food of cods and rays, and it
was chiefly from the stomachs OF
these fish that some OF the older
naturalists obtained specimens.
Another hunting ground of the
naturalist is the sailing ship which
has been in foreign parts. In this
way DR.. Clark has been able to add
a tiny .Chilian crab to the Cornish
c%rustacea. 1t was obtained by Vallen-
tin on the sides of a bark from Pata-
gonia in a coating of seaweed and
barnacles.
The crab itself may become a col
lector of specimens for the zoologist,
for it is often covered with various
species of sponges, hydroids and bry-
ozoa. Sometimes the species found
thus are such as are not easily OBJ
tainable otherwise. One species of
crab, indeed (mala s%quinado). is re-
garded in, Cornwall as the proyider of
material for the naturalist.-The 20

Unfortunately, from the start he ex-
perienced a difficulty in getting the
clocks to strike at the same time. At

interview with the matchmaker.

told. ct is very misleading to have
one clock striking three or -four min

10 Deposition of Time aither-
to Easily Made.

4 Trenton couple were married t.e
other day, and all their friends re-
marked, They will certainly be very
happy-they have waited for each
other a very long while"
They had. Having a strong Yankee
strain, the old-time young couple lad
decided that they would not be mar
ried until their aggregate savings
amounted to enough to buy and fur
nlsh a house, and their earnings had
never been large. Every evening
through the years, however, the young
man had arrived at his lady loves
house promptly at eight o'clock and
remained until eleyen-his coming
was as sure as the coming of the
night.
On the evening of the marriage a
friend observed the bridegroom wan
dering about his icy front yard in a
restless manner, and with a very de-
jected expression.
WHY, what's the matter, old MANI"
he asked. You should be the hap
piest nan alive, fer to-day at least,
and you look like a mute at a funeral"
The bridegroom started.

idence. Il was just wondering where

TIE SUPREME HOUR
CALCULATION OF THE DATE OF
TIE eRUclFlxloN.
Prof. Weston Has Delved Deeply Into
Ancient Records and Is Salts
fled as to Correctness
of Time.

Prof. L. II. Weston of Portland,
Ore, makes a very interesting caleu-
lation, fixing the date of the cruci-
fixion of Christ on April Is at noon, in
the seventy-fourth Julian year, or the
twenty-ninth year A. d. He does II by
computing the position of the sun and
MOON.
According to Prof. Weston, the full
moon occurred at al, Jerusalem
NEAR time. on the 18th day of April,
"A Julian. This was a Julian Sunday,
and was the thirteenth day of the
moor by the Jewish calendar. 1t was
a rule or law among the Jews that thu
day began at sunset; hence the calen-
dar of Calippus invariably called that
day following the sunset Immediately
after full moon and a Sunday lsuns
day. Thus the full moon occurred at
T.4t in the morning of the 18th or
April, Julian year, and that in the cal
endar of C%alippus was the thirteenth
day of the moon. or the n before the
fourteenth, and was a Jewish holiday.
The Passover was always celebrated
on the fourteenth day of the moon
next following the solar ingress into
the first degree of Aries. the yernal
equinox. and it must always, by law,
be celebrated on the fourteenth day OF
the moon. as shown on the calendar
calculated by the priesthood.
In the Julian year IA the sun en-
tered Aries at p minutes after D p.
IN. on March %, which was a Tuesday.
minutes after l p. m, April ,, a Sat
urday. Full moon, then falling on the
seventeenth at 10 minutes to s a. M,
shows Tertullian, the Latin historian,
to be correct in affirming that the
Passover feast was on the eighteenth
of the calends of April.
Again, says Prof. Weston, modern
ecclesiastical authorities on chronol-
ogy find it impossible to assume that
Christ was born later than 4 b. c.,
and Tertullian clearly states the natiy-
ity occurred in the forty-first veal OF
the Angustan monarchy and the twen-
ty-eighth after the death of Cleopatra,
thus in the seven hundred and fiftieth
year of Rome, or 4 b. c., Christ was
more than 80 years of age, for his
ministry began the third year before
the erueifXion. lie was SO years old
in % A. d.
%Irenaeus says the crucifxion was at
the end of Daniels 20 weeks of proph-
ecy. This ends. about the commence
ment OF the sixteenth year of Tiberius
and the second year of the Two hun
dred and second olympiad. More e
actly. the sixteenth year of the reign
of Tiberius began on August 10. "A
Julian. and the first year of the two
hundred and second olympiad ended
on July IA, "A Julian, and this date
also ended Daniels 20 weeks. But the
crucifixion was at the passover, three
months before the end of the olym-
piad. Irenaeus used round numbers
ard the fractional year is one-fourth
minus. Accordingly, says Prof. WEES
ton, it would seem impossible to set
any other date for the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ than Monday. April IS,

ARGUMENTS IN THE
 STORM CASE HEARD
tFrom Sundays DaIlyl


 Former Attorney General E. $. Clark arrived home last night from San Francisco, where he represented the territory in the United States circuit court of appeals in the Storm ease. Former District Attorney R. E. Morri- son was associated with Attorney Clark. Attorneys Clark and Morrison argued that the circuit court of ap- peals did not have jurisdiction in the ease. Attorney Frank Cox of Phoenix and his associate counsel, representing Storm, did not argue before the court, eontenting themselves with the sub mission of jurisdiction in their briefs. The court took the jurisdiction flea ture of the ease under consideration.
 Attorney Clark says that wonderful improvements are under way in San Francisco and that the city IS growing into a more beautiful and pretentlOus place than when destroyed by the earthquake and fire.
 Attorney Morrison stopped in Frisco to see the sights of the Golden Gate q few days before returning home. He is expected Monday.
