ERIN'S ANCIENT KINGS.
UntimeIy Death Was the Rule For
Monarchs of Old Ireland

begorfa. when it comes to talkin' of
kings and coronations! For there was
probably a king of Ireland when Noah
was building his ark. There certainly
was one in 1900 B. G. To be sure.
though, IreIands ancient monarchs
mostly came to unhappy ends. either
dying Of the plague, being assassinated
or killed in battle, says London An
swers.
For instance, King Lughaidh. who
reigned in the second century, was
killed by being thrust through the eye
with spear during a conspiracy. His
successor Feargus, was assassinated
by order Of the next conner. Cormac-
Ulfhada, who, however, was merely
choked to death by a fish bone at
supper. .:..
"Slain by his successor" indeed, was
the fate Of very many Irish kings, but
Of Conga Cionmaghair, who died in
693, it is simply but eloquently re-
corded that he died suddenly" He
was "cruel prosecutor of the Irish
church" In 39s King Dathy was
killed by thunderbolt, while King
Conner died of grief in S37. And one
of the greatest of them all, the valiant
Brian Boroihme, was assassinated in
1014 while at prayer after he had de-
feated the Danes at Clontarf.
1t is hardly surprising to learn that
four of Erin's kings resigned their
crowns to become peaceful, cloistered
monks.

THE CLOCK OF DEATH.
1t Was the First Astronomical Tine-
piece Made In EnqIand.


The clock at Hampton court palace
derived its unpleasant title by reason
of superstition that whenever any
one long resident in the palace dies the
clock Immediately stops. 1t is of rec
ord that when Anne of Denmark. the
queen of James L.. died the old time
piece was striking four and that it
stopped almost before the last stroke
sounded Since that time it is said to
have repeated this grisly proceeding
each time a royal parsonage within its
jurisdiction died.
At any rate. the clock has an inter
esting history quite aside from this. 1t
was the first astronomical timepiece
, made in England. being constructed in
1910 for Henry VIII. Thirty-two years
ago it was brought out Of n shed where
In it had lain neglected for nearly half
a century, and by order of the then
secretary of the office of works it was
re-erected in the courtyard opposite the
entrance to the state apartments.
There is historical evidence to the eff
feet that it was built by one Nicholas
Crater, a German astronomer who
came to England at the invitation Of
Cardinal Wolsey.
This old timepiece tells the hour. the
month the day of the month. the po-
sition of the sun and the number Of
days since the beginning of the year.

the hour at which it crosses the merid
ian and the time of high water at Lon
