His signature follows immediately that of Thomas de la 

 More, Master of the Temple, London. John de Stoke, 

 chaplain of the Order and treasurer of the Temple, begun his 

 career at Garway. Besides these, James de Molay, Grand 

 Master of the English Templars, seems to have visited 

 Garway. He was afterwards the Grand Master of all 

 Templars. Jacques de Molay was, on the 19th of March 

 1 3 14, burnt upon a pile erected upon that point of the 

 islet of the river Seine, at Paris, where afterwards was 

 erected the statue of Henry IV. of France. This Molay, 

 ere he expired, summoned Pope Clement, who had issued 

 the bull of abolition against the Order and had condemned 

 him (the said Molay) to the flames, to appear, within forty 

 days, before the Eternal Judge ; also, he summoned King 

 Philip to the same tribunal within one year. Both pre- 

 dictions were fulfilled. Pope Clement did actually die of a 

 colic on the 19th of the following month. More dreadful 

 still, the church in which his body was placed in state, took 

 fire, and the corpse was half-consumed. The King, before 

 the year had elapsed, by an accidental fall from his horse, 

 also died.

CHAPTER III. — THE PROTOZOA {continued). 



By H. E. Forrest. 



A very common animal in our ponds is Arcclla, a close relation of 



Amaba. It is, in fact, identical, except that it secretes 



a horny shell shaped just like a hat (Fig. 7). The 



shell is of a clear brown colour, and is found attached 



to the water-weeds, but the protoplasm is not granular, 



as in Amoeba, and is so transparent that it is generally Fit;. 7. — Arcella. 



invisible. 



Another less common pond-dweller is the Sun-Animalcule {Actin- 

 ophrys, Fig. 8). In this the protoplasm is blown out into a frothy 

 globe, from the surface of which radiate long needle-like pseudopodia. 

 When undisturbed these extend more than the diameter of the body and 

 look like spines. They are quite soft, however, and can be entirely 

 withdrawn into the body. If a passing animal touches the pseudopodia 

 it adheres and is drawn slowly with them into the body. We may
