The big bear heard the call and saw that
to save the man he must act quickly, SO
he scratched his foot and sprinkled his
blood over the man.
" Now. you know, no animal will eat
OF the bear or taste of his blood. So
when the lion reached the man he
smelled the blood and turned away. but

the man, leaving the marks of his claws
on the bloody face. When the man found
that he was uninjured he was 50 thank full
that he left the blood to dry on his face
and never washed it at all until it rcelcd
off. Where the claws of the lion scraped
it off there were marks that turned brown
in the sun. and where the blood stayed on
it was lighter. You know all men paint
their faces that way with blood ana
scrape it off in streaks when they huit

THE WIZARD NUMBER

Number : has queer properties. Take
this for example: Three times 1 are ); 3
times 2. 6. and times 3, g.. Three times
are II; if the digits are added. we have
l and 9 are 3; 3 times are 10; if the
digits are added we have and are 6; 3
times 6 are lS; if the digits are added we
get ga repetition of the first three
multipes of Sand this sequence will be
followed mo matter what multiples are
chosen, SO long as the multipliers follow
in regular sequence. Take 9S5 as the
multiplier, for example. Njno hundred
digits together ana we get 81; add these
digits together and we get 8; if 9S6 he
taken as the multipiier and the digits bs
added. we get 6. and If 9S7 be taken we
get 8. In other words, the sum of the
digits OF any multiple Of 3, is either or
mum pers, not being multiples of 8. be
divided by B. the remainders if added
will make 3. No matter how many pro-
cesses of multiplying or dividing may be
employed; no matter what fractions may
occur. provided at some time during the
plier. the digits added will make 8. Thus
it appears that the Der cannot be
got rid Of. Possibly this may be the rea-
son why it has always been supposed to
have some magic properties. We have
three Dimensions of space. We have

three aspects of the Deity.
AS might be expected 8. being multi
pie of 8. by itself is very sportivo num-
ber. Thus times 1 are 8. Nine times 2
are 1S; add the digits and we get 8; 8
times are 81 and the digits and
added make 8. and SO al intinitum. The
sum OF the first nine numbers viz, l, 2,
3, 4, 5. 6, I. s and 8 is 45 and the digits
and added make 8. Not only is this the
case but the digits in the sum OF any nine
consecutive numbers, ii added, will make
nine or multiple OF nine. Quite a chap
ter might be written on the antics which
the number will play, but these are all
that occur to us just now.
In Staffordshire and Shropshire, Eng
land, they have most extraordinary cure
for toothache. The sufferer watches
moles runway with a spade and traps
and, as soon as he succeeds in capturing
one of these reputed eyeless animals, uts
off its paw and quickly applies it to the
ach, ,ng molar. In order to make the cure
sure and effective, the paw must be am
putated while the animal is yet alive;
furthermore. if the aching tooth is on
the right side of the java left-hand mole
paw must be used and vice versa. A
similar toothache superstition exists in
the Cape Verde islands and also ON the
