Exact Date for iA-ath of Christ.
Scientist, Uting Astroromical Data. Pr:ent
Interesting Calculations as to Time ot the
CrucifiiOP. Don to the Hour of the
Day.
Profc-swjr L. H. Wtstou. of
Portland. Ore., makes a very in
teresting calculation, fixing the
date of the crucifixion of Christ on
April tS at noon, in the 74th Julian
year, or the 2c,th year A. D. He
does it by computing the rositioa
of the sun and moon.
According to ?rofev-r Weston,
says The New York Herald, the
full moon occurred at 7:41, Jerusa
lem mean time, on the 17th cf
April, 74 Julian. This was a Julian
Sunday and was the thirteenth day
of the moon by the Jewish calen
dar. It was a rule or law among
the Jews that the day began at
sunset; hence the calendar of Cal
lippus invariably called that day
following the sunset immediately
after full moon the 14th day of the
moon and a Sunday (sun's day).
Thus, the full moon occurred at
7:41 in the morning of the 17th of
April. Julian year, and that in the
calendar of Call:: -pus was the 13th
day of the moon, or the one before
the 14th. and was a Jewish Satur
day. The Passover was always cele
brated on the 14th day of the moon
next following the solar ingress
into the first degree of Aries, the
vernal equinox, and it mut always,
by law, be celebrated on the 14th
day of the moon, as shown on the
calendar calculated by the priest
hood. In the Julian year 74 the sun
entered Aries at 26 minutes after
5 P. M. on March 22, which was
a Tuesday. The new moon follow
ing was at 19 minutes after : P. M.
April 2, a Saturday. Full moon,
then, falling on the 17th at 19
minutes to 8 A. M., shows Tertul
taan, the Latin historian, to be cor
rect in affirming that the Passover
feast was on the 18th of the cal
ends of April.
Again, says Professor Weston,
modern ecclesiastical authorities on
chronology find it impossible to as
sume that Christ was born later
:han 4 E. C, and Tertullian clear
ly states the nativity o.-.urred in
the forty-first of the Augustan
monarchy and the twenty-eighth
after the death of Cleopatra, thus
in the 750th year of Rome, or 4 B.
C. Christ wa.-, more than 32 years
of age, for His ministry began the
:hird year before the crucifixion.
He was 33 years in 29 A. D.
Irenaeus says the crucifixion was
it the end of Daniel's 70 weeks of
jrophecy. This ends about the
jomniencement of the sixteenth
ear of Tiberius and the second
ear of the 202d Olympiad. More
exactly, the sixteenth year of the
'eign of Tiberius began on August
9, 74 Julian, and the first year of
he 202d Olympiad ended on July
14, 74 Julian, and this date also
.-nded Daniel's 70 weeks. Iiut the
Tucifixion was at the Passover,
hree months before the end of the
Jlympiad. Irenaeus used round
lumbers, and the fractional year is
me-fourth minus. Accordingly,
ays Professor Weston, it would
ttm impossible to .set any other
late for the crucifixion of Jesus
Christ than Monday, April iS,
ulian year 74, at noon (sixth
tour) Jerusalem.

Woman's Botj Turned to Stone.
Removal ot Carps: at WoMojrsville Reveals
a Rem k.t:e Condi::on.
While cru.ii.ui in removing a
body from one- cemetery to another
at Montonr'-ville, undertaker Spit
let, cf that place, made the rare
discovery of a body completely
turned to stcue. The body was that
of a woman named Rothfuss.which '
had been buried nearly eight years, j
an J in that time had become total-;
ly petrified. The woman's grave j
was in the eastern part of the Qua- j
ker Hill cemetery near the fence, j
and in a section that is naturally
wet, owing to the presence at that
point of a number of springs. The
soil is a red .-hale.
When the casket containing the
body was uncovered it was found
by the men that it was in a remark
ably good condiMon, considering
the length of time that it had been
buried. When they came to lift it
they were a-toni-hed at its great
weight, and an investigation made
by opening the casket in the grave
disclosed the fact that the woman's
body had turned to stone that the
state of petrincation was so com
plete as to really be remarkable.
The face was without so much as a
wrinkle. The weight cf the petri
fied corpse was such that it requir
ed the combined strength of five
men to raise the casket out of the
grave, and even then this was ac
complished only by raising one end
of it at a time, propping the other
end up as the work proceeded.
Joseph King's "East Lynne."
"East Lynne'' is an old play,
bit it is one of the best. Joseph
King's company will appear at
Columbia Theatre on Sept. 23,
(one night only) and a fine per
formance is assurtd. The story of
'East Lynne" is so familiar it
seems almost superfluous to attempt
any outline of it, but a paragraph
or two in that direction may not be
amiss.
Lady Isabelle is married to
Archibald Carlyle, and, though in
love with her husband, is insanely
and unjustly jealous of Barbara
Hare, a family friend and lifelong
acquaintance of Archibald. Her
jealousy is fanned into hatred by a
designing villain, Sir Francis Levi
son, and she, after several years of
happy married life, is induced to
leave her husband through the
false representations of Levison.
Deserted by the destroyer of her
peace, she is left alone to the mercy
of the world. Miserable and re
morseful she gains entrance into
her former husband's home in the
guise of a French governess and is
enabled to see and be with her
children, although unable to re
establish herself as his wife, for, on
her desertion, Archibald bad mar
ried Barbara Hare She finds some
solace and comfort, however, in the
care of her children. The death of
her eldest, however, undermines
her own health, and finding her
self at death's door, .she calls for
her former husband, discloses her
identity, and with his forgiveness
passes into the great beyond.

Good Year for Game.
Plen!y of Bear. Deer and Rabbits Wa t tor
Cjnnerj to Come Around.
The State came commission pre
dicts that all kinds of game will be
plentiful this year. Reports have
been received on all animals except
squirrels, but it is believed the
friskers will be found in abundance,
too.
"Bear, deer and rabbit." says
Chief Game Protector Kalbfus,
"will be found in larger number
than for many years and so will
turkeys and pheasants. I believe
the increase is due to the protective
laws, and also to the fact that the
people are learning that unless due
economy is exercised many ot the
game animals and birds will become
extinct."
More bears were killed in this
State last year than bnck deer. The
number of each killed was more
than 400.
Abusing the Automobile.
It must strike the average news
paper reader, as it does Tkt Record,
that it is high time for the adop
tion of effective measures to put a
stop to the automobile slaughter
that engages so large a share of the
attention of the newsgatherers in
all parts of the country. It is need
less to dwell on the number and
nature of the automobile fatalities
chronicled in the public prints al
most every day. The public un
derstands that most of these appall
ing accidents are due to the driving
of high-power cars along the public
highways at railroad speed, iu defi
ance of ordinary common sense and
in plain violation of the law.
It would seem that the automo
bile manufacturers themselves, who
do not a little to develop the speed
mania by promoting long-distance
races and other contests that
must of necessity be held on the
public roads if held at all, ought
now to get together to check an
evil that they have thoughtlessly
fostered. The time when cross
country races between various
makes of cars served a useful ad
vertising purpose has gone by. It
is no longer necessary to demon
strate that this car or that car is
capable of attaining a high speed.
The public is pretty well satisfied
that every automobile manufacturer
who has sense enough to advertise
his wares turns out a vehicle that
will go as fast as any sane man has
a desire to travel on macadam or
dirt roads. Continuance of the
speed demonstrations, with their
attendant fatalities, is doing mors
harm than good. Its tendency is
not to encourage prospective auto
mobile buyers, but to frighten them
cff.
The automobile is being subject
ed to abuses that must be discour
aged. It is to the interest of the
trade and the public to join hands
in shutting down on excessive
speeding elsewhere than on the
race tracks. If a man chooses to
break his neck while running a
racing car 60 or 80 miles an hour
within a fenced mclosure, that is
his own affair. When he under
takes to brave death on the high
ways, and in so doing exposes the
lives and property of others to the
penalties of his recklessness, it be
comes everybody s business. The
automobile manufacturers, the clubs
and the State, city and borough or
township authorities ought all to
join hands in an effort to suppress
scorching and enforce the law.
Prevalent practices are slowly but
surely paving the way for State
legislation outlawing the construc
tion of machines of high power.
The only way to avert such legisla
tion is to use automobile power ju
diciously and within the limits of
the present law. J'hila. Record.
Typhoid at Sunbury.
Sunbury has twenty-seven cases
of typhoid fever and new cases con
tinue to develop. The Board of
Health has taken samples of water
and forwarded them to the state
chemist at Harrisburg, for analysis.
The cause of the outbreak is gen
erally believed to be due to the
impure water used for domestic
purposes.
