There are many wonderful things about
Stonehenge. and one that strikes the
stranger with the greatest amazement is
the apparently casual way in which the
stones we're made fast by the original
builders. A monolith weighs, as has been
said, anywhere from ten to seventy tons.
II has, as a rule, an end dressed to
roughly tapering shape, and this end goes
but a small number of feet underground
and has round II a loose packing OF bould'

while some OF these boulders are OF "sar-

made Of others are OF greensand In the
case OF the famous leaning stone" now

monolith was 20 feet inches. and II was

certain. The human sacrifices OF the

While this giant surgery that Is being

thing to see. there is something else hap

to the archeologist still more exciting.

When a stone. reached the temple site
a hole was cut into the chalk rock OF
the plain, leaving an upright face on one
side and a slope leading down into the
hole along which the 70-ton stone was
slid. II was then raised by packing up
timber levers under the top end until a
sufficient height had been reached to en-.
able II to be hauled into an upright posi-
ton. The rubble was then packed in with
supporting stones.
The date Of the building OF Stonehenge
has been the subject Of much speculation
and study and has given rise to several
conflicting theories. An interesting theory
was advanced by Sir Norman Lockyer.
director OF the Solar Physics Observatory.
who assumed that the people who built
Stonehenge were not only sun-worship.
pers. but had progressed far in their
knowledge OF astronomy.
He bases his assumption upon the ex
istence of a path leading from the central
altar at Stonehenge to the spot where the
sun first appears above the horizon at the
solstice. The path is in reality the axis
OF the temple, line drawn through the
centre Of the Altar Stones to the Slaughter
Stones and thence to another stone called
the Friar's Heel. A person standing at the
altar and looking over the Frisr's Heel
would see the rising sun at the soIstice.
but slightly out of line,
Owing to the changes in the course or
the earth around the sun the rising point
OF the sun changes slightly every year
Sir Norman assumed that when the temple
was built the axis was directly in line with
the rising sun at the solstice. Knowing
the amount OF change taking place each
year IL is not difficult for him to calculate
how many years must have elapsed since
the axis was exactly In line instead OF ap-
proximately. BY his computation the date
Of the building was given as 1880 B. c., or
$500 years ago.
Other scientists, however, maintain that
a Neolithic people built Stonehenge, and
that this race had disappeared long before
the time assigned by Sir Norman. There
Is not much to choose between the several
theories. Each seems quite tensble until
viewed In the light OF It's rival.

at the time they lived the rays OF the
rising sun passed over certain markers still
known as the Slaughter Stone" and the
Heel" stone, and struck directly upon the
altar. On no other day die this occur and
so the Druids were ensbied to know ac-
curately the beginning of their year.
There is also no question that when this
happened cruel sacrifices were offered.
The restorers have found a circle of pits
beyond the outer circle which are filed
with human remains. evidently the ghostly
relics OF these sacrifices.

The deposits about the bases OF this inner

the bases OF the larger.

English Office Of Works under the direc-
ton OF Psychologists experienced in the
task OF restoration OF similar monuments.

From relics found during

have been enabled to recon
struct the methods by which
Stonehenge was originally

clearly those used in dress

running from March l, when Federal
operation Of the roads ended, to Au-

bursement the commission will with
