Modern Magicians.

Among the wild tribes of Africa,
and equally so among the aborigineS
Of America, the magician, or medi-
cine-man, is looked upon as endowed
with supernatural powers. Some are
specialists, and among these the most
valued and respected are the 'rain
makers" Rain being indispensable
to the maintenance of either animal
or vegetable life, it is not to be won
dered at that those supposed to have
the power to bring welcome showers
should be reyereneed as almost divine
benefactorS. These are regarded as
savage superstitions, but strange to
say, rain makers" have appeared in
our day and country. The United
States government had crops of rain
makers in Texas last summer, who
with series of terrific explosions,
produced rain-with some exception S.

ever, has demonstrated a clear title
