stuck over with burs, and wheeling him
through the town in barrow. A
correspondent of Notes and Queries
writes: "Wife- beating to the effusion of
blood may be novel method of securing
luck in the herring fishery, but to draw
blood is practiced in some of the fishing
villages on the northeast coast of Scot
land, under the belief that success follows
the act. The act must be performed on
New Years Day, and the good fortune is
his only who is the first to shed blood. If
the morning of the New Year is such as
to allow the boats of the village to put to
sea, there is quite struggle as to which
boat will reach the fishing-ground first, so
as to gain the coveted prize, the first shed
blood Of the year. If the weather is I'M
favorable for fishing, those in possession
OF guns-and great many of the fisher
mems houses possess one-are out, gun in
hand, along the shore before daybreak, in
search of some bird or wild animal, no
matter how small, that they may draw
blood, and thus make sure of one year
good fortune" Another Scottish plan
for securing good luck for the space of
twelve months at least, is to draw buck
etful of water from the village well at
midnight on New Years Eve, and after
throwing a handful of grass into it, to
carry it carefully home If the drawer
be cow-keeper, he uses part of the water
to wash his dairy utensils, and gives the
remainder to his COWS, in the rather dis
honest hope, that he will thereby obtain
the cream of the COWS of such of his
neighbors as use the well, and have not
been so wise as himself
TIC barter away old shoes for the benefit
of the translator" is sad waste; there
is nothing like wellworn leather to pro-
pitiate fate. The time-hOnored custom OF
throwing an old shoe after a deprting
friend, in order that his journey may
have prosperous issue, is so ancient and
so common, that we only mention it here
to remind intending throwers that the
shoe should belong to the left foot-there
is no virtue in its fellow; and that the
harder the recipient is hit, the happier
will be the result. Old shoes are within
everybody's reach, but friend is not al
ways at hand to perform the ceremony.
However, that scarcely matters much,
since we have lately learned success is to
be retrieved, whether it be deserved or
not, by simply pOcketing a bit Of coal.
There is no reason why black diamonds
should not be as efficacious as any other
luck bringers; still, belief must halt
somewhere, and ours halts at coal, al
though ready to concede that incredulity
would be lessened if the coal-carriers

Wonders of the Star Depths.

PROFESSOR Z. A. PROCTOR, in one Of
his recent lectures, remarked that in
looking at the sky on clear calm night,
when all the stars shown in the immeas-
urable heavens, one was impressed with
the thought that a solemn calm 'reigned
in those infinite depths. But how differ
ent was the reality. Where there seemed
to be rest there was an activity, compared
with which all the forms and life and
energy on our earth were utterly insight
ficant. Every one of those stars that
seemed still was travelling through space
many miles in every second of time. He
reminded them in his first lecture, of the
activity that prevailed in the sun-a tu-
multi and energy compared with which
all the forms Of uproar known to us were
but as silence. Every one of the stars
was a sun of smaller uprOar, and there
fore they would see how different was the
reality from that which the mind present
ed itself to. In looking at the heavens
we look not at scene of perfect Tranquil
ity, but one of stupendous activity. We
only know the distance of about nine or
ten stars; indeed, he might say that there
was only one star whose distance might
be regarded as determined. The problem
of the astronomer in determining the dis
lance OF the stars was one of stupendOuS
difficulty. Alpha Centauri, the star
whose distance had been de
termined, was 100000 times
farther away than the sun. We
had no means of measuring the disc of
stars. In measuring the light of the star
he had named, it had been found to shine
with the seventeen thousandth millionth
part of the suns brightness. 1t shone
three times as bright as the sun would
shine if it were placed beside it. The
diameter was one and half times, and
the volume five times more than the suns,
always supposing that a square mile of
its surface gave out as much light as a
square mile of the suns surface. There
was another star, of which he might
speak as the prince of stars-the glorious
Sirius. Of all the objects whose dimen-
sions had been indicated to us, that star
was the king. 1t shone four times as
brightly as the star Alpha Centauri, and
was five times as far away, so that, having
regard to their relative distance, its actual
brightness was 100 times more. 1t gave
out 800 times more light than the sun, and
its volume exceeded that of the sun 1000
times. SpectroscOpic analysis had en-
abled US to say that the stars were suns
like our own.
