Shocking Turkish sup,rstitiop.

Hanan, n village on the borders OF
Anatolia, in Turkey, was the scene of
a horrible tragedy few days ago.
There had been an epidemic in the
district for some weeks, and. as its
ravages ever became greater, the vii
layers finally felt satisfied that it was
the work of sorcerers, and. after a
thorough investigation. they arrested
n man named Asian and his sister and
openly charged them with being the
direct cause of the disease. The two
prisoners avowed their innocence. but
the mob insisted that they had been
using incantations and other evil
spells. and that their sole object in
doing so was to invoke an epidemic.
Without delay sentence was pro-
nounced. Asian was burned alive on
an improvised scaffold. and his sister
was mercilessly tortured with red hot
irons.
News of the shocking crime was nj
once taken to the local authorities and
in few hours the principal instiga-
tors were arrested. 1t is not believed
however. that this step will aid much
toward the eXtirpation of superstitious
ideas in Hanan.

MYSTICAL ODD NUMBERS.
Three, Seron and Nine Have Many Ps-
cuiiarities to Their Credit.

Three, 6eron and Nine Have Many Re.
culiarities to Their Credit.
Three, seven and nine appear to have
been the favorite numbers all the
world over. The ancients had three
fates, three furies and three graces;
Neptune's trident had three prongs,
Jupiter's thunderbolt three forks and
Cerberus three heads. We have three
estates of the realm, man who ac-
cepts bill has three days grace and
three persons congregated together
may make a riot. Shakespeare was
we'll aware that he must have neither
more nor less than three witches in
Macbeth" and that the brindle cat
must NEW thrice, and our popular folk
lore insists upon three merry men,
three blind mice and three wise men of
Gotham. Three meals a day is the
usual scale of feeding.
OF more mystical character than
three is the figure seven, or, at any
rate, it has a larger number of re-
ligious applications. Noah had seven
days warning of the coming of the
food. and when it came he took fowls
by sevens and clean beasts by sevens
into the ark; the ark touched on
Mount Ararat in the seventh month,
and after seven days a dove was sent
out. followed seven days afterward by
another. In Pharaohs dream there
were seven fat and seven lean kline,
which Joseph interpreted to mean
seven years of plenty and seven years
of famine. At the destruction of Je-
richo seven priests bore seven trum-
pets seven days, and on the seventh
day they walked round the city seven
times, after which the walls fell In
the apocalypse almost everything is
seven, except the number of beasts.
There are seven churches. seven gol-
den candlesticks, seven lamps before
seven spirits, the book with seven
seals. the lamb with seven horns and
seven eyes, seven angels with seven
| seals, seven kings, seven thunders,
seven thousand slain, the dragon with
seven heads and seven crowns. seven
angels bring seven plaques, and there
are seven walls of wrath.
| In merely secular matters seven oc-
ours frequently enough. We have
seven wonders of the world, seven
champions of Christendom, seven
sleepers. seven wise men, seven plan
cts, seven deadly sins, seven ages of
man, and our ordinary leases are mede
Cor seven or a multiple of seven years.
But however mystically significant
three and seven may be, they cannot
lay claim to any such peculiarities as
are the property Of the figure nine.
| That the ancients had nine muses..
ulne rivers in the Internal regions. a
| hydra with nine heads and nine gods
for Lars Porsena to swear by, or that
in modern times nine tailors to make q
man, or that possession is nine, points
of the law, are facts that pale into in
| significance after one has sat down
with pencil and paper to investigate
some of the special peculiarities of the
| figure nine. For instance, if you null
| tipIy nine by any other number you
will find that the figures composing
the product when added together will
| always amount to nine.

A PERPETUAL LIGHT.
A YOUNG CHIoAGOAN CLAIMS TO
HAVE INVENTED 1T.
George p. Magrady Claims to Have Dis
covered a Plan That VIII Even Solve
the Problem of Perpetual Motion -
Cannot Govern the Light.

George P. Magrady, a CIicagoan,
claims to have invented a perpetual
light. He thinks the millennium of
illumination is at hand. Every house
will have an equipment of perpetual
lights in beautiful globes, which will
burn day and night, year in and year
out, and shed brilliant glow without
ceasing. Leaking gas jets will be
thing of the past. The disagreeable
duty of cleaning kerosene lamps will
be only a memory and tradition.
Every family will have a supply Of
porcelain or glass globes, each one OF
them a tiny sun, throwing out a
strong, beautiful white light from
within. The globe will be something
of mystery, for it will have no con-
nection with any wires, and 1t Will
require no reflling or attention. 1t
will be sealed hermetically, and its
contents will probably be concealed
from sight, but by shaking it one may
be able to ascertain that there Is IL
quid inside
Cannot Govern the Light.
There VIII be no way of turning the
light down or of turning it off. 1t may
be put in a closet in the daytime or
hidden under a hood. but it will go
right along putting in "a hours work
every day. The inventor says it will
continue to do its very best so long
as the globe remains sealed perfectly
even though that should be for years
The secret of the perpetual light is
combination of chemicals in vac
uum. The chemicals are four or five
in number, but Mr.. Magrady declines
to give further information as to their
identity until the patent office has
passed on his application for a patent
