Following the same line of thought which he formerly applied to certain Egyptian temples, Sir Norman Lockyer is able to show that Stonehenge was originally built to serve the purpose of a primitive observatory. It was built for the use of the astronomer priests who, perhaps, brought the wisdom of the East to this country many centuries before its very ITALIAN WINES,

Every one knows that the sun rises at a different point on the horizon daily through out the year, and that the time of star rising varies night by night.j These simple facts sufficed primitive man for the determination of his calendar. Some of the Egyptian temples [7 were carefully oriented so that a bright star, like Sirius or Canopus, was visible down the avenue which served as the tube of a telescope at a particular hour on a given night in the year. By far the greater number of stone circles, of which Stonehenge is the best known example, were so oriented that the rising sun on midsummer morning flashed its rays direct- ly upon the central altar: in other words, their axis was carefully directed to the point on the horizon over which the sun sose on the longest There are many other in- day in the year. stances of different orientations, each corres- ponding to the fixed points in some ancient calendar.
