Tho Number Seven.

The most intelligent ritualists are
agreed in common with the Roman
Catholic church that there are seven
sacraments. How they came to fix on
the exact number of seven is not SC
well known, nor do they seem to be
quite sure themselves. Peter Lombard
and st. Thomas did not invent the
sanctity OF the number seven, but only
inherited II. When once the assump-
ton had been made that numbers had
some hidden meaning and when tho
assumption had been consecrated by
religious tradition. 1t is easy to sec
how scribes and Pharisees builded on
1t an imposing but shadowy house OF
cards. Thus, when seven had beer
received as the perfect number. It was
inevitable that the six gifts Of the spir-
1t named by Isaiah should be corrected
into seven; that seven mortal sins
should be classified to be set straight
by seven sacraments. But what IL
more to our present purpose is to in.
quire how the assumption came to be
made. The answer to this question
may be given at once. The sacredness
Of seven rests on the regard paid, in
the Oldest astronomical system known
to us. to the seven planets--'he sun
moon. Mercury. Venus. Mars. Jupiter
and Saturn.

iantic In An Open boat.
William Paul Butusov, acrialist and
kite-tlyer, purposes to sail In an open
boat from Concy Island across the At
lantic ocean TO some point upon the
European coast In tow of his latest in
vention,-thc Tin" kite. He Is firmly
convinced OF the feasibility of the
scheme.
Butusov, better known by his middle
name, Paul, IL Il Russian. and first
came before the public several years
ago In his experiments with his flying
machine Mt Dune Park, Ind, in connec-
ton with Chnnutc and Herring.
Butusov said yesterday regarding his
proposed Atlantic trip:
Il shall sail some time In July. My
boat will be fourteen feet long and Will
be made OF galvanized iron. There Will
be two lateral fins and one bottom fin,
similar TO those On the kite. The kite
will he ten feet high, and will bc con-
y ructcd OF the best silk. ] shall have
n windlass at the prov OF the boat to
wind In the kite In case OF calm. In
stead OF twine for the tow line I shall
use piano wire. The boat will bc pro-
vlslOncd for a six weeks cruise. and In
case OF accident TO the kite shall have
recourse TO sail. II the wind holds
good hope to make the trip I'm about
fifteen days. Chicago Record.

FLIGHT of . Cannon Shot,

The longest distance ever covered b,
a cannon shot is said to be ffteer
miles. but that was probably severa
miles within the possible limit, accord
ing to Captain f. L. Zalinski. the re-
tired army officer. who ranks among the
highest authorities In the world OF
munitions OF war. On the point OF pos
sible range Captain Zalinski says
Under existing conditions and with
the guns. powder and projectiles avail.
able. / believe It possible to flre n shot
a distance OF eighteen miles. The dis.
lance will be greater when a powder II
produced that will exert uniform
pressure on the gun throughout the
course OF the projectile from breech te

ness, thanks to the rich beauty OF
earth and sky, and the remnants Of
what was once civilization OF high
order, is always interesting, and, above
all. picturesque.
The rites and ceremonies OF the reli-
gion of the prophet are in themselves
an inexhaustible study for the artist
as well as for the historian and the
philosopher. Take. for example. the
procession Of the Sheep feast. which is.
so to speak. the Easter Of the Lent of
Ramadhan. Imagine a background OF
sky Of the brightest blue above line
OF green foliage; place in the fore
ground the brilliant whito Of the
snowy robes Of the sultan, OF the gar
ments of his retinue. of the wells OF
the women watching from the walls.
with the CLINT of gun barrel and spear
In the African sunshine. and what a
picture 1t makes to the minds eye!
What, again. can more adequately ex-
press the poetry OF motion than the
wild rush Of the Arab cavaliers In the
Sheep racer The game OF powder. that
is to say. the waving and firing in the
air Of innumerable guns. which is the
part OF the show the Arabs love best.
gives the fantasia n warlike character
which makes It the favorite sport OF
those born horsemen and warriors.
The Sheep feast. which the Arabs
call the great feast" is serious busi-
ness. On that occasion every Moslem
family must sacrifice sheep: ant care
is taken to choose an animal with fine
pair OF horns. because It is to them that
the Moslem must hold tight when
crossing the ricate. the bridge. narrow
as hair and sharp as 4 razor, which
Is suspended above hell. and across
which he must pass to paradise. Tho
sacrincial act is commemorative Of the
ram caught In a thicket," divinely
provided to avert the sacrifice of Isaac
BY Abraham. In no Mahommedan
country is the faith OF Islam more
fanatically fierce than In Morocco, a.
