5 to build a bu circle around the most s and mysterious . Druid eir- o of :Engiand. A national cam. paign vaised the equivalent-of $42.- 580 for the purchase of 650-acres of land surrounding Stonehenge. The accession will guarantee that the mass that looms and has loomed black against the rising sun at'3:45 o'clock ~every June 21 for 3,000 years still is the Friar's Heel compass stone and not & brand new cottage. Stonehenge is the Plymouth rock ®f _the ‘British people, Wherever the strong cord of English history s, picked up’it leads back to the cifcle of rough-hewn stenes -on the treeleas chalk downs of Wiltshire. : While .mystery locks the true ori- @gin ahd . meaning of Btonehenge, the National = Geographic. _society points out, tradition raises it to the chief shrine of the first Brilons, the holy of holies were the blue bedaubed savages worshipped thewr gods, % ”;".h friner stones form-a-horse- shoe facing the Frier's Heel sun- rise .. atene. The inner horseshoe is inclosed by a second horseshoe of heavy stones, two pairs of which stitl support lintels or capstones. Surrounding the double horseshoe 1a.a 78-foot circle of smaller. stones. Then- comes another circle 98 feet across of 30 dressed stenes. Originatly, ‘continuous lintels topped the outer ring, but enly a few remain in position. The shrine 15 bounded by a ditch at a radius of 180 feet from the.center. Three causeways bridge the ditch. ' The broadest leads to the Friar's Heel stone. Compared with the mammoth stone blocks cut in Egypt, - the atones of Stonchenge are -candy sticks. The largest monolith is 29 feet eight . inches long, eight feel of which ia in the ground. Er-Grah, a menhir of the same period founi in -Brittany, has the more impres- sive jength of 67 feet. But the blue stones of Btonehenge were hrought 125 miles ‘by land or water from the Prescelly hills in Wales. How. no one knows. To Emerson, Stonehenge “looked like a group of brown dwarfs on a large expanse.’ To Pep: the stones were. “as prodigious as any tales I ever, heard of them.” To W. H. Hudson, born on the Argen- tine pampas, they were “a amall flock of sheep or goats o . . in- “'eredibly insigniticant.” . To the average Englishman Stonehenge is 8 marvel of his coun try.” the “frontispiece of English history,” which ae ought to sec be- for he dies. A few hundred Englishmen jour- ney to Stenehenge annually on the night before June 21. They gather back of the horseshoe waiting for sunrise at 3:45, It the weather is clear at dawn ‘on the longest day of the year the rising sun throws the shadow of Firiar's Heel stone to the center of the stone circle. A prominent English scientist thought Bonehenge must be -a temple to the sun, but nobody knows for sure.

Johnson, an employe of the city, has age? rapidiy and iz in none too good health. He still works, but his earning power is small and he and the wife who trusted him during his years of imprisonment are.not en- Nm the comforta they might have confessed in Annie Lemberger, . daughter of Martin Lemberger, was put to bed by her mother about 9 o'clock the Right of September §, 1911.
