Finding Drowned People.
[From the Pail Mall Gazette.l

"An Old Folk-Lorist" writes: The
remarkable incident of the discovery of
the body of child drowned in the
River Kennel, at Newberry, in 1867, by
means of a two penny loaf with guam
tity of quicksilver put into the it, was
quoted by one of your contemporaries
some twenty years ago; and then elected
many curious proofs of the existence of
similar practices with analogous success
full results, and with-what is not always
the Casa satisfactory explanation of
the phenomenon. Sir James Alexander,
In his account of Canada, after stating
that the Indians believe that drowned
body may be discovered by floating q
piece OF cedar wood, which will stop and
turn around over the exact spot, men
lions an instance which occurred within
his own knowledge, where the body of a
person who was drowned by the over
setting of his boat, near Cedar island,
"could not be discovered until this ex-
pertinent was resorted to-"
But something more remarkable was
stated by an eminent clergyman, happily
still living, who mentioned that, many
years before, boy who had lately come
to Elton imprudently bathed In the
Thames where it flows with great rapid
ity under "tbe playing fields, and was
carried out of his depth and drowned
All efforts to recover the body failed till
one of the masters threw cricket bat
into the stream, which hoated to spot
where it turned round in an eddy hole,
under which the boy was found. There
were, / think, other instances, but these
elected from some intelligent correspon-
dent the simple and natural explanation
of the phenomenon. These are in all
running streams deep pools, formed by
edd1es, In which drowned bodies are
likely to DE caught and retained. Any
light substance thrown into the stream
would naturally be drawn to the surface
of the river over the center of the eddy
hole

THE HUGUENOT BATTLE PRAYER

Translated from tho French text Of the prayer
used by the Huguenot soldery of La Rochelle during
the siege of that city by Cardinal Richelieu in 1923.
Oh God of Armies since it now doth please
Thy will to see us 'gainst Thine enemies
And ours, vouchsafe thy might
To take away their courage and their strength
In battle, and before us, Lord at length
To put them all to flight.
Or, should it please Thee, in that trying hour,
To make them, through us, know Thy fury's power
Be pleased, oh Lord to aid
Us by Thy mighty valor. 1t is true,
We of ourselves alone, can nothing do;
But, being by Thee stayed,
And led to combat we shall bravely smite
And rout them: and for that Thou shalt, of right,
For'er be praised. Imbuc
Us, God and Father with such courage then,
In heart and hand, that all of us, like men,
To Thee our duty do.
And if to call us hence it please Thee, Lord,
vouchsafe, according to Thy Holy Word,
To gather us ut last
Into the Life Eternal: and, although
Our sins might justly cause us to forego
This favor, hold us fast.
Be pleased those sins to pardon, in the name
Of Jesus Christ, Thy blessed Son, who came
To ransom and to save;
In whom we pray for this, and all things fraught
With increase for Thy Kingdom, as He taught
Us in the prayer he gave:
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, etc.
