St. Peter's Chair.
Koine itself is spoken of as the cbali
vr throne of St. Peter by some early
writers, but Hie not mil episcopal chali
which he Is believed to have occupleq
may still lie seen 'u St. l'eter's. a worn,
eaten wooden structure, preserved In t
bronze cuveriug, says the Londoc
Chronicle. It is from sueh chairs ol
episcopal uud other authority, ol
course, tlmt we get the phrase "ex ca
thedra" and the word "cathedral," an
abbreviation of "cathedral church," the
<hurch that contains the bishop's ca
thedra or chair. Some of the uses In
old fashioned English of the adjective
"cathedral" seem quaint now. "Cathe
dral dogmatism" meant not the dog
raatlsm of a dean and chapter, but thai
of any one who spoke w ith an assump
tion of authority. A "cathedral beard"
vrns a broad beard of a fashion an
clently worn by bishops, and In John
son's time "cathedral" seems to have
been slang for "antique."
The Christian Era.
The Christian era was suggested or
devised by Pionyslus Extguus. a Bo
man monk, who, in 527, began Its use
and proposed tbat all public and private
documents should be dated "In the year
of our I.ord." It did not come Into gen
eral use In France until the eighth cen
tury nor In England until July. 816; In
Spain It was not adopted until the
eleventh century; In Portugal It was
made lepal In 1415; lh the empire of the
east Is was established by royal edict
In 1453, a few weeks before the fall of
Constantinople.
