element on the streets Monday night
when a peculiar light was seen IN the
west. The light was no larger than a
large star but changed color from red
to a piercing white closely resembling
an electric searchlight at several miles
distant. What was even more peculiar
the "airship" seemed to bob up and
down with at times a lateral motion

izon. it disappeared, reappeared again

The star finally set at 10:40 and Mr..

time of the apparent setting of the star
over the sensible horizon Tuesday aft

pheric refraction. The two calculations

the man who was dancing about the
fire, l could not because of the fitful
light and shade recognize his features.
All that could distinguish was that he
was a small-made man, with a great
deal of hair about his face.
We we're almost starving, and our
next need was food. We ate sparingly,
with some thought of the morrow, and
after supper we talked in low, sad tones
of those who had set sail with us full
of life and strength and hope, and
who were now lying five-and-twenty
fathom deep at the bottom of the cruel
sea. Each told of what he had seen of
So-and-so and So-and-so, who were
lost, and we were none Of us ashamed

Marvellous things are claimed OF
palmistry, not only by those who prac-
tice it as a profession but by many who
have seen the prophecies of palmists
come true in actual life, says the New
York Herald. Telling the past by the
lines of the hands is, however, almost
a new art. There is a man in town
who believes he can do it, at least
so far as marriages are concerned.
Still further, he claims that the lines
of the hand show whether a marriage

party it was that obtained the divorce.
