historic times who laid out the stones in such way as to point to stars such as the Pole Star or Capella, in the apparent positions they then occu- pied. The inference in many such in vestigations is that since the stars change their apparent positions in the course of thousands of years. close ex
 animation of the structure of ancient stone rows and circles should afford clew to their date. But plausible, or fascinating, as such a suggestion may be, there is little evidence in sup port of it, though it is not unreason- able to suppose that megalithic stone monuments were constructed to act as dials o rto mark the solstices, or in other ways to act as calendars. The mistake, as MT. J. W. Hayes points out, is made by those who ride hobby to death. His opinion, which has ele- ments of isoundness, is that a large number of prehistoric monuments are not prehistoric at all, but constructed between 700 B. c. and 800 AID. As the matter stands at present, we have evidence that the Scandinavians used rows and circles of stones to indicate time until the eleventh century at least. Then came the use of the lit- tie instrument called the Nocturnal for observation of tho Great Bear in it's revolutions, and this instrument was in use down to the eighteenth century, though it has been supplanted in many places by what is known as the Astrolabe of which Chaucer wrote SO clearly.-London Morning Post.

Stone Circles and the Stars.

Once when a detachment of the mem
 bers of the British association was being guided through Ely Cathedral by the late Dean Stubbs, one of the members of the party asked anxiously after the orientation of the cathedral
 The dean, quite ignorant that the questioner was one of the chief in vestigators of orientation and its re- levancy in fixing dates of construc- tion, replied rather tartly that he thought a good deal too much was made out of such peculiarities-which for his part, he was willing to believe to have been accidental. The investi- gator made no rejoinder; but the dean subsequently learned his name at lunch with some evident embarrassment. The incident is recalled by a discus sion now being conducted in the ob- servatory on megalithic monuments in the Hebrides. and the evidence they afford that a people lived here in pre-
