ANCIENT STONE SUN DIAL
II Was Built Into a Church 6uttress,
Probably In the Thirteenth
Century.

The stone sun dial, probably Of the
thirteenth century, which has just been
placed in the south wall OF the chancel
OF West Clandon church. is likely to
be Of considerable interest to anti
quaries The dial, which has unfor-
~tunately last its gnomon, was till re-
Gently built into the western side Of
. buttress, having apparently been re-
Barded as a piece of stone of no value.
The stone on which the dial is cut
In of chalk and the dial Is about a foot
ACROSS. The engraving Of the lines
on the face is deep and sharp, the
stone being In a good state OF preser-
walton, and the hole in which the
snnmon had been fixed is wide and
deep. At each OF those positions on
the face Of the dial which in a clock
would be called the quarters four dots
are engraved, but these dots are ar
ranged In different positions. Sun dials
such as that at West Clandon are
not at all rare and at n time they
were probably placed on every church.

are three close together, but particu-
lar interest attaches to the specimen

Some years ago Col. J. J. Astor and

rest was comparatively modest type.
When the Nourmahal was reported
lost the papers began to talk about
sending out searching expeditions.
The government dispatched a cruisef
to search for Astor. Now Richard
Barry tells the story of that episode
for the first time. "Astor was very
fond of his pet dog" says Barry. The
pet dog hated the sea. The second
day out on the cruise the dog began
to NOPE. Aston told the captain Of
the yacht to point her nose for shore
TIL take Betsy of and give her .
rum said the master Of millions.
They landed that day on the
Caroline shore and Betsy got her run.
But one run wasn't enough for her.
Each day, ~ they voyagsd south.
Betsy was taken on land to stretch
her legs. Finally they were on the
Honduras coast, and Betsy began to
howl for a frolic. The captain pro-
tested that the coast line was insum-
ciently charted, and that the Nourma-
hal wal In danger of being wrecked II
he was obliged TO run in too neal. .

isn't happy
SO they put in, and shelved the
Nourmahal on q rock, and every one
north Of Panama became violently en-
cited because it wasn't possible to
hear from the Astors. and II cost the
yacht owner a good many dollars to
get her OF. But he didn't care. He
