Third party. but no Democrat here believes
that they will vote that ticket on the day Of

caused very little enthusiasm and then called

A sUPERSTITIoUS PRACTICE.



The Old Habit Of CoRsulting the Bibls As
Book Of Fate.
The practice of consulting Scripture
as book of fate was generally con.
demned by the church A council at
Vannes pronounced against it In 4Sl
A. D. So did one at Agde in 500 and
one at Auxerre in SIS. Charles the
Great forbade it in his Capitularies
and so did Pope Gregory II. Never
theless, curiosity as 70 the future was
so strong in mems minds that the GUS
tom continued. An odd circumstance
is that che cathedral chapter at Or
leans in ll48 appealed to a prognostie
of this sort in q supplication addressed
by them to Pope Alexander III. against
their bishop. At his conservation,
when the Gospel was opened above his
head, the finger of the deacon rested
upon the words: "And he left the
linen cloth and fed from them naked. :"
This was a token that the bishop,
Elias, was TO be turned out OF his see.
The practice of observing the book
when opened over the head of pre-
late at his conservation was very com
mon. 1t was thought that q sure
augury could thence be drawn as to
what sort of bishop he would prove.
At the conservation Of Athanasius,
nominated to the patriarchate Of Con.
stantinople, q patriarchate which he
stained with his crimes, 1.-THE bishop OF
Nicomedia having brought the Cos
pei" says the byzantine historian,

note Of the oracle which would be man.
fest on the opening Of the book,
though this oracle is not infallibly
true. The bishop of Nicea, noticing
that he had lighted ON the words:
prepared for the devil aud his angels,
groaned in the depth Of his heart and,
putting up his hand to hide the words,
turned over the leaves and disclosed
the other words: The birds Of the air
come and lodge in the branches
words which seemed TO have no connec.
tion with the ceremony. ."-Chambers'

SEVERAL KITES TO A STRING.
In This Way They Can Attain to Remark
able Heights.


able Heights.
The actual height of kites above the
earth is difficult to measure, because an
object floating alone in the air looks
farther away than it really is. When q
kite is flying at height of one thousand
eight hundred feet it has reached about
as high a point as is possible without
the assistance Of other kites Such a
kite will seem to have reached an alti.
tude of half a mile; yet a careful meas
urement of the string and its steepness
will show that the kite is not over one
third of mile above the ground. Or
dinarily the kite viii go no higher even
if more string is let out, because the
wind presses against the great length
of string with Increasing force as the
kite recedes and rises.
If more than one kite be used remark
able heights are attainable. The kites
can be fastened along a single string,
but this method requires quickness in
attaching the right amount of tail to
each kite, otherwise so much time may
be wasted in preparing the successive
kites for the fight that the daylight
will wane before the experiment can be
concluded. However, when one kite Is
up and the amount of tail for it is deter
mined, it becomes possible, after long
experience, TO at once estimate the
amount Of tail necessary for each addi-
tional kite according to its size
