DRAWING UP A HOROSCOPE.
A Lecturer on AstrOlOgy Does This I'm
Public with n StereopticOn.

With the aid Of a stereopticon, which
cast mystical figures on a white sheet,
Mr.. Garrett P. Serviss taught a large
and attentive audience a great many in
reresting things about astrologers and
astrology last night in the lecture hall
OF the Long Island historical society,
Brooklyn. Mr. Serviss is not an astrol-
oyer himself. but what he doesn't know
about astrology wouldn't be enough to
furnish material for an Eighth-ave.
prophecies.
He told his audience all about horo-
scopes and quadrants, and trine and sex
tile, and what the seventh house repre-
sents. and what is a good antidOte for
the condition of affairs when the sun
and moon and Venus and Jupiter all get
in the religious section of heaven and
mix things up, which is perhaps what
happened when DIR. Briggs was born
To bring his exposition home to the audi
ence the speaker explained the hOro-
scope of the day by means of a diagram
of his own construction.
The child born in Brooklyn on April
16 1894 was to have mixed fate, unless
the song of the spheres was sadly out
of tune and the morning stars lied
together. Jupiter being the sign, Leo
was favorable. so the astrologer informed
mis- audience, and the babe was to grow
into political success and also be prOmi-
nent in the church.
'Mckane," suggeS ted some in the audi
ence.
The sun being in the ninth house put
an added religious streak into the indi-
vidual, and the moon in the second
house and Mercury in a favorite place
indicated prospective riches, a love of
study and a propensity for long journeys.
Thus everything was lovely until Mars
came in and proceeded to smash things.
Mars is an evil sign. and in some way
got himself mixed up with the house of
maria ge. and also in opposition TO the
moon. and the result was a marriage
with a rich but slovenly dame who was
TO make trouble. Then entered Saturn at
an inoppOrtune moment in semi-square
TO the moon. and a lot of other signs and
things combined in a conspiracy to re-
duce the unfortunate to penury. which
was to have such an effect upon his mind
that when the horoscope thrust riches
upon bin again he was to become a
hopeless miser and die gold poor. From
which it will be observed that condOl-
ences are due to the parents of yester
day
Then Mr.. Serviss spoke about the horo-
scopes of celebrated men. He said in
conclusion that the astrolOgers were en-
titled to this much credit, that in the
dark ages, when learning had all but
died out, they preserved the noble science
of astronomy from decay.-N. Y. Sun.
