THE CORONATION STONE.
Historic Reasons for Veneration Of
the Relic.

T1IStoTIC reasons for NeneraClon OF
the Relic.
Philadelphia Ledger: The partial
success of the suffraget attempt to
blow up England's ancient coronation
chair in the solemn precincts Of West
minister abbey has been followed by
an outbreak Of public indignation SINH
lar in its intensity to that which would
follow an effort to destroy our own
Liberty Bell with an explosive. Not
even the row jewels in the Tower
are so intimately involved with the
story of English sovereignty and he
tradition of the divine right Of kings
since David Of Israel.
The aged chair Of oak contains the
Stone of Scone which Edward L., who
died in 1907. brought from Scotland in
1897, in token of the ~sugjugation OF
that country. This stone was the en-
blem Of power of the native rulers of
Scotland. Legend has it that it was
used by the patriarch Jacob for a pill
low; it is more than possible that it
is he stone on which the dying head
of the sainted Columbia rested in the
Abbey of Iona. 1t is a piece Of sand
stone similar to the characteristic for
nation of the west coast Of Scotland.
From the time of Edward l., every

this chair. The state sword n shield
Of Edward III. (who died in 1870 re-
main beside it. On coronation day the
chair is covered with gold brocade and
placed in the choir.
From the account of Adam, the
kings goldsmith, in 1900, it appears
that the chair originally was to have
been cast in bronze; royal thrift
changed the plan, and the woodwork
cost 100 shillings. Master Walker, the
kings painter, made it instead. Early
in the nineteenth century the "old
Crockets and turrets at the back were
sawn off," and the design of the back
has been so often vanished that only
a part of the sovereign's figure re-
mains, the lion on which his feet rest
ed having disappeared. The lions un-
der the chair itself are modern and
were regilded for the coronation of
J Edward VII. On the panels of the arms
are designs of vines and Of birds amid
foliage.
The only occasion on which one not
Of royal birth received the insignia Of
government seated in the chair was
Cromwells installation as Lord Pro-
~tector. which took place in West
minister hall.

of much importance, as the results Of
the survey will be used to determine
the distribution of material in the
earths crust
A truck similar to the n used in
the southwest was employed in 1912
on the forty~ninth parallel boundary
survey between the United States and
Canada. The cost OF the work is esti-
mated as only one-half what 1t would
have been If horses and wagons had
been used for transportation. The saw
ing in the coming season is expected
to be even greater, as the country to
be traversed Is arid or semi-arid and
the transportation of water and forage
for stock would be difficult.

DISAGREE AS TO THE ETHER
Scientists Hold Varying Views as to
Composition of Material In
the Outer Space.

The notion Of a universal medium,
permeating all space, has undergone
many vicissitudes. The sphere of ce-
lestial fire of the AleXandrians and the
interstellar whirlpools of Descartes
gave way to the solid theory which
was elaborated with immense skill by
Young, Fresnel, Stokes and Kelvin.
only to give way to the electromag-
netic ether Of Maxwell.
At the present time there are at
least three theories--one considers
the ether as an incompressible me-
dium, very rigid and very dense; an
other considers it composed of par
ticles much smaller than electrons;
and the third denies its existence alto
gether and seeks to eradicate it from
the list Of physical theories.
1t is this last theory which gains
more and more adherents day by day.
We are in a revolutionary epoch,
where the tendency is toward explain
ing phenomena in terms of emission
rather than undulaton. and Of par
ticles rather than fluids.
And once more we see reappearing
the mysterious and rather terrifying
notion of the absolute "nothingness"
Of outer space which one imagined to
be successfully abolished by the intro
duction of the ether.

Why the Audience STAYED.

This theater shall be nameless, and
this manager likewise, but that isn't
going to hurt anybody's feelings.
With the tremendous business being
done by at least four Of the attrac-
tions playing the city the past week,
some house had to suffer a drop in
its natural takings, and this was the
house. The nameless manager emerged
at intermsson and went to nearby
bar for strength and courage, that he
might bear up under the blow to his
box office pride. At intermission
time, it must be explained, this bar
ordinarily gets a rush Of trade from
this particular theater. Now the mana
ger came in alone.
Isn't this intermission?" asked a
bartender.
Sure"

empty cafe.
Didn't he come over?" he asked.

Rlota on tho landscape.

In the schemes for city planning

unsightly and an offense to normal

their tawdry and ever changing
proclamations, now line what would
otherwise be some Of our most attrac-
tive boulevards. but whose outlook
upon the country through which they
pass is shut off by these monstrosi-
ties. They destroy vistas, they hide
the view OF stream and hill and COM
pei relief in introspection or the re-
reading of newspapers with whose
contents we are already familiar.
They are a barrier between man and

ALLOWS BILLBOARDS TO STAY
City Doing Away With Un-
slightly Structures.

The circuit court Of Milwaukee coun.
ty, Wisconsin. has recently rendered
q decision that constitutes at least q
temporary setback to the cleaner city
movement In that Jurisdiction. A city
ordinance provided that no billboard
should be put up or maintained unless,
among other requirements 1t be placed
back from the lot line or line of
navigable waterway a distance equal
to its height, and be at least three feet
away, at each end, from other struc-
lures or distractions. The court held
that the evidence OF any danger from
billboards did not justify any such re-
strictions, especially in view OF the
fact that the ordinance required q
space Of from two to three feet to
be left below the billboard; that such
requirement being unreasonable rem
dered the entire ordinance void.
The decision mentions the possibil.
ity Of the extension Of the police pow
or to the promotion of purely aesthet-
ic objects on the ground Of the general
good Of the community but apparent
ly does not consider such an extension
a proper one.-Exchange.

TAKE BATH WITHOUT WATER

theless, these Bedouins of the South.
west realize that thorough cleansing
of the body is necessary, and have in
vented method Of accomplishing
that end that is well adapted to the
land of thirst in which they dwell.
This is the sweat bath.
A miniature hogan is built of sticks
of wood, and banked up with earth un.
til it is air,tight, with the exception Of
an opening large enough to admit the
body. A fire is built outside, in which
large stones are heated red hot. Then
these are placed in the sweat house,
in a position in which the "bather"
will be unlikely to come in contact
with them. Then the candidate for a
bath crawls in, keeping his head in the
open air. One or more heavy blankets
are placed over he opening and tight
ly around the neck of the occupant OF
the sweat house, to prevent the escape
of the heated air. The Indians remain
in the sweat house for several hours,
perspiring with incredible freedom
When they emerge they dry them
selves by rubbing with the hot sand OF
the desert. AS cleansing agent. the
sweat bath would be hard to beat, al.
though it is rather heroic substitute
for the tub bath of civilization. Never
theless, it opens the pores Of the skin,
promotes circulation and has much to
recommend it in preference to the
practise Of the members of som'
other tribes, of never taking bath
