HIGHLAND OMENS.
Some of the Gruesome Superstitions Pre-
yailing in the North of Scotland.

Some of the Gruesome Superstitions Pre-
vailinG in the North of Scotland.
The belief in fairies and brownies,
or the more playful and fanciful kind
of fairy, seems to belong more to the
Lowlands of Scotland than the High
lands. The character of the people
was softer, and the lighter forms of
superstitious belief found more fitting
home there than in the Highlands.
where the gloomy and austere char
acter of the people led them to invest
the supernatural inhabitants of their
glens and mountains with something
more akin to their own darker and
sterner natures. Thus the fairies and
brownies of the LOwlands take in the
North the form of warnings, that
come in gruesome guise to foretell
misfortune and calamity to the family
to whom they belong, and to whom
they appear when danger or misfort-
une threatens their patrons. Every
great and powerful family inhe North
was believed to have a supernatural
warning or omen which appeared be-
fore the death of any prominent MEM
Der. 1t varied in most cases, but each
family of clan generally received the
same warning before death as the chief.
Very striking condolences no doubt
have occurred, quite important enough
to convince neutrality-suspicious. peo-
pie of their infallibility. Thus among
the Mackenzies the death candle was
always said to appear before the death
of any leading member OF any branch.
A large light appeared at some dis
lance in the. sky, sailing slowly till it
arrived above the place where the per-
son. whose death it predicted lived,
when it would slowly disappear in a
brilliant coruscation of light. In Tul-
loch castle cold hand was always said
to be laid on the face of the person
whose death it foretold. In another
family a white owl always appeared
when any member was going to die,
and in another black dog; while on
the west coast of the Highlands an old
woman, commonly called the "Grua-
gach," appeared to fortell the death Of
some important member of the family
to which she specially belonged. -Mur.

Mr.. III. B. Evans commences a four

A FIREMAN.s DEVICE.
HOW Dense Smoke Can BE Breathe
with Perfect Impunlty.


with Perfect Impunlty.
The assistant foreman of an uptown
fire company was talking the other
evening about the great perfection to
which the service has been brought in
New York, and after declaring the
common opinion that our fire-brigade
is the best in the world, cortinued:
"But | see they have introduced in
Germany and England one new thing
which, If we adopt it, will increase
our efficiency wonderfully. There can
De no doubt of its great value, if the
accounts | have heard of a recent trial
in London are correct. 1t is an appli-
ance designed to enable the wearer to
breathe and work with comfort and
ease in room filled with the densest
smoke, or even with poisonous gases.
"Ihe appliance, as nearly as / can
make out from the descriptions | have
heard, consists of sort of mask
which protects the mouth, nose and
eyes. There is a respirator with an
india rubber mouthpiece This is
held in place by an elastic band which
passes around the head, and also by
projections which are held between the
teeth, and flange which lies between
the teeth and the lips. The air is
drawn in through a series of small
filters, one after another, which are
charged successfully with wet sponge,
cotton wool, cottonwood charged with
glycerine and animal charcoal. These
filters are very lightly packed so as to
offer little resistance to the air as it is
drawn in by the act of respiration, and
there is a system of valves provided to
allow egress to the air as it is drawn
out i'll expiration.
''Ihe eyes are protected by pair of
spectacles which are furnished with
india rubber rims. These rims press
enough on the cheeks and brows to ex-
clude all smoke and are fitted with
mechanical wipers with which they
can be cleaned from time to time with
out being taken from the face.
The whole apparatus weighs less
than pound, and is so simple in char
acter that any one can use it without
the least practice, If it is necessary
to use it in place where there is no
air, such us the bottom of mine filled
with choke damp, the contrivance is
modified so that fresh air is taken
through long and light India rubber
tube.
81 am told" continued the fireman,
"that they have shown by actual ex-
pertinent that it is possible for man
with the respirator on to safely enter
a building that is filled with smoke
and discover the exact position of a
fire. This is certainly a thing of ex-
ceedingly great Importance, and would
often do away with the necessity for
Turning on jet of water from the en-
CINE | presume, as matter of
course, that our department will in
vestigate the thing, and if it is as good
as it is said to be they will adopt it,, or
