can exceptional stellar event near B. C. 6
with which it may be identified.
Johann Kepler, in his peculiar genius (for he
showed that the births of Enoch, Moses, Cyrus,
Caesar, Charlemagne, and Luther were preceded
by important astrological events led the way in
calling attention to the astronomical phenomena
that preceded the birth of Christ. He pointed
out that there must have been a conjunction of
the planets Jupiter and Saturn at about the
time of Christ's birth, and even made few pre-
liminary calculations to prove his case. The
junction occurred in the sign Pisces, from time
immemorial identified with the destinies of
Israel. conjunction in that sign always signi-
fed the rising of some mighty master of the
Jewish race. Such conjunction of Jupiter and
Saturn in about 800 years. 1t was,
therefore, sufficiently extraordinary in Keplers
eyes to herald the birth of Messiah.
Not until 1926 was Kepler's suggestion seri-
ously considered by astronomers. In that year
Professor Ideler, of Berlin, computed the posi-
tons of Jupiter and Saturn and proved that they
were actually in conjunction in B. c. His cal
culatioEs showed that they at no time over
Tapped to form a single star, but that they
separated by distance equal to the apparent
diameter of the moon. Accordingly Ideler had
the temerity to suppose that the wise men
the two planets as star, because they were
miraculously near-sighted In justice to Ideler,
it must be stated that he abandoned his theory
when Encke, in 1891 repeated the calculations
and found that the actual distance between Jupi-
ter and Saturn when nearest each other in B. c.
T. was more than the apparent diameter of the
moon
Apart from the fact that Jupiter and Saturn
were never sufficiently near each other to be
seen as one body, two planets in conjunction
can hardly be called star. Nor is it likely that
experienced Chaldean astrologers would SO re-
gard It. Moreover there we're other planetary
conjunctions at about the same time. Professor
Stockwen has demonstrated that conjunction
of Venus and Mars occurred on May Sth, B.. C.
g. about fifty days less than two years before
Herod's death. Because the mandate for the

MONTENEGRINS LONG VICTORS
They Are Reckless at Play and at
Arms, but Honorable, Says a
London Letter.

London.-It was Mr.. Gladstone who
once described Montenegro-theb black
mountains the shore where, after
bloody Kossovo, the wreckage of old
Servia was washed by the oncoming
Turkish tide, says a London letter.
They who escaped into these fastness-
es were families Of caste, chfeftains
and mobiles, who for five centuries
and more have remained unconquered.
Their very vices show breeding,
recklessness at play and an extrava-
gance In dress. Yet gamblers though
they are and dandies, they are honest
as to cash, and if purse of gold be
dropped by accident upon the high
way 1t will be discovered by its
rightful possessor
Prison life itself is ruled by honor,
for convicts who may have pulled
trigger wander abroad, meet their
friends. Join In festivals, and are
known only by the dull music OF
clanking chain.
The Montenegro is not devoid OF
education. He has his school in ev-
cry hamlet, and there is an amazing
story of the great Ivan, the prince
who burned his capital Zabijak to
save 1t from the Turk, setting up a
printing press in Obod just twenty
years after Caxton had begun his en-
terprise at Westminster The machine
vanished amid the chaos. but 1t re-
vealed an instinct
It Is an armed men that the Monte
negrins now interest us. When they
go marketing to the Austrian coast
town of Cattaro they are required by
the authorities to rob their belts of
the mighty pistol, but at the frontier
they resume 1t, and it Is the symbol
Of their liberty. 4Ya4
Humble homage to the queen is
rigidly exacted by King Nicholas, and
in the palace of Cettinje princesses,
so far from being disdained, are de-
scribed. paternally, as my country's
most valuable export"
To behead ones enemy is the final
Joy of the Montenegrins, who, there
fore, dislike long range artillery and
the modern rifles which are received
from Russia as Christmas presents for
the reigning houses.

During the afternoon a party Of

bridegroom to go for a short ride.
Once in the carriage he was bound

made short work of the good things
prepared for the supper that night.
After they had completed their repast
