Scotch Kings Heart Lost.

Proposal that the heart of Robert t6a
Bruce, liberator and King Of Scotland,
should be taken to the Holy Land for
burial has led to the discovery that the
present burial place of the heart is un-
known. The proposal was made by the
Rev DR.. Christie, who has been in Pal-
estine for many years as a missionary
of the United Free Church of Scotland.
Several years ago a casket containing a
shriveled heart was discovered in Mel
rose Abbey but experts concluded that
the heart could not be the Bruce's. Dr..
w Mackay Mackenzie, secretary of the
Royal Commission of Ancient and His
toric Monuments in Scotland, states he
believes that no one knows where the
Bruce'S heart is inferred.
