that have been the most successful this
year.
Following the crop tables, is an arti-

Belief I'm Witcllcraft.

Ludicrous as tho powers appear to us
at the present day with which witchcraft
i'll former times was credited, such pow.
ers seem never to have been denied or
disputed by the great minds of the past.
A witch was all that was abominablc,
and to be held in the strongest loathing;
yet few had the wisdom or the courage
to contradict the possibility of her cxcr-
cisinS the arts she pretended TO- The
Judge, MS he passed sentence on the
condemned woman, trombled lest her fell
gaze should bring upon him and his
household sorrow or death. The yelling
crowd, as it half stripped her to undergo
the water-ordeal, shuddered as it saw
upon her exposed bosom the marks
which, it was supposed, proved that she
allowed her familiar to draw upon her
life's blood. The villagers who went
miles out of their way to avoid her
haunts, never for one moment believed
that the object of their fear was power
less to work them evil, and was either
half-mad woman, the victim of hidcous
delusion, or else the actress of n knayish
part to serve her own vile ends. To all
the old crone, with her tall hat, crutch-
stick, and black cat nesting on her
shoulders, was one who had dealings
with the devil, and who, through the
might of Satanic aid, could scatter the
seeds of misery broadcast wherever she
listed. She had sold herself to hell,
and, until death claimed her, her power
to effect evil, it was alleged, was mlim-
tied. The great man is he who rises
superior to the prejudices of his age; but
before the end of the seventeenth
century-with the exception of Bodin,
Erastus, Reginald Scot, John Wagstalle,
and DIR. Webster-there were none who
had the boldness or knowledge to brand
witchcraft as n base and palpablc super
stition. We find Lord Bacon gravely
prescribing "henbane, hemlock, man.
drake, moonshade, tobacco, opium, and
other soporiferous medicines rs the best
ingredientsfor witch's ointment. From
the pages of his "IIistoryof the World"
We see that the gifted and practical Sir
Walter Raleigh was firm believer in
this childish form of superstition. Tho
learned Selden, in his "Table Talk,
while pleasantly discoursing on the sub
iect of witches, shows that he also held
the Same faith. Sir Thomas Browne,
the kindliest of physicians; Sir Matthew
Hale, the most acute and spotlcss of
Judges; Hobbies, the skeptic; "the en-
inent DR.. More, of Cambridge" and the
patient and thoughtful Boyle, all were
of opinion that witchcrait was an evil
capable of solid proof, and that its dis
ciples merited sharp and quick punish.
ment.
1t was not until the dawn of the
eighteenth century that men came tt
the conclusion that the devices o.
"witches and witch-mongers" were only
so many tricks and fables, and utterly
unworthy of credence. The last judicia
execution in England took place in the
year ITO, when woman and her little
daughter were hanged at Huntingdon
'for selling their souls to Satan" Since
that date, however, various cases have
occurred of women, accused as witches
being drowned while undergoing tn
ordeal by water ut the hands of their in
Inundated, yet Infatuated neighbors. =

Carlyle q Mathematician.

Among Carlyle's Edinburgh connec-
tons in those Kirkcaldy days, one
comes to us in book form. 1t was in
1917 that Professor Leslie, not yet Sir
John Leslie, brought out the thirdedi-
ton of his Elements of Geometry and
Plane Irigonometry," being an improve
ment and enlargement of the two pre-
vious editions Of 1909 and 1911. The
geometrical portion of the volume con-
sists of six books, intended to supersede
the traditional first six books of Euclid,
and containing many propositions not to
be found there. The seventeenth prop
osition of the sixth book is the problem:
"To divide straight line, whether
internally or externally, SO that the
rcctangle under its segments shall be
equivalent to a given rectangle." The
solution, with diagrams, occupies q
page, and there is au additional page Of
"scholium," pointing out in what cir.
q, cumstances the problem is impossible,
and calling attention to the value of the
proposition in the construction Of
quadratic equations. So much for the
text of the proposition at pages 176-177
but when we turn to the "Notes ant
Illustrations" appended to the volume
we fluid at page $40 this note by Leslie
"The solution of this important problem
now inserted in the text was suggested
to me by Thomas Carlyle, an ingenious
young mathematician, formerly my
pupil. But 1 here subjoin likewise the
original construction given of Pappus,
which, though rather more complex,
has yet some peculiar advantages. u
Leslie then proceeds to give the solution
of Pappus in about two pages, and to ado
about three pages OF further remarks OF
the application of the problem to tn,
construction OF quadratics. The mention
of Carlyle by Leslie in this volume o

monthly pension, claim for $1,000
