Tradition de- clares it was made from one of the nails used at the Crucifixion. This was beaten out wlio a thin rim or iron, which was magnificently set in gold and adorned wih jewels. Pope Gregory the Great bestowed it on Queen Theo dolinda, a Frankish princess, under whom the Lombards first changed their Arian faith for the Catholic. Charle. magne was crowned with it, and so were Henry of Luxemburg and sue ceeding emperors. It was also used at the coronation of Napoleon I.

In St. Nicholas, Henry Hales writes of the ruby-throated humming bird. The humming-birds builds on the up- per site of a branch ,a branch gener- ally about the size of the nest. The nest is beautifully felted with fine white vegetable down and studded on the out- side with fine lichens and minute specks They do not seem to retire to se- cluded places to build; they are as ec- centric in their choice of a nesting place as in their nature and habits, Some suppose their nests are near the gardens or vines they visit: but that is not often the case.

On these facts M. Folghereiter has founded a method of studying the inclination of the magnetic needle in antiquity. He the direction of the mag- netic axis of pottery of Etruscan and Roman times. The declination of the needle cannot be determined in this way on accommt of the impossibility of know. ing exactly how the vases stood in the baking ovens; we know that they stood vertically, but no one can say which side was to the front. It is quite possible that this method may be extended to determinations referring to geologic ep- ochs by observing the dirgetion of mag- netization of clay strata that have been transformed into brick by flows of hot fava.
