When the instructions were read

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

at the time they lived the rays of the
rising sun passed over certain markers still
known as the Slaughter Stone" and the

There is also no question that when this

The date Of the building of Stonebenpa
has been the subject OF much speculation
and study and has given rise to several
conhicting theories. An interesting theory
was advanced by Sir Norman I.ockyer,
director OF the Solar Physics Observatory,
VINO assumed that the people who built
Stonehenge were not only sun-worship-
pers, but had progressed far in their
knowledge Of astronomy.
he passes his assumption upon the ex.
istence OF path leading from the central
altar at Stonehenge to the spot where tho
sun nrst appears above the horizon at the
solstlce. 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 10 another stone called
the Friar's Heel. A person standing at tho
altar and looking over the Frler's Heel
would see the rising sun at tho solstice
but slightly out OF line
Owing to the changes in the course of
the earth around the sun the rising point
OF tho sun changes slightly every wear
Sir Norman assumed that when the temple
was built the axis was directly In line with
tho rising sun Mt the solstice. Knowing
the amount OF change taking place each
year 1t is not difficult for him to calculato
how many years must have elapsed since
the axis was exactly in line instead OF an.
proximately. BY his computation the date
OF inc building was given as 1880 B. c., or
$500 years ago.
Other scientists. however, maintain that
a Neoithic people built Stonehenge. and
That this race had disappeared long before
tho time assigned by Sir Norman. There
Is not much to choose between tho several
theories. Each seems quito tenable until
viewed in tho light of its rival.
