Boat PeriscOpes.

When submarine torpedo boat is
about to deliver her attack she must
rise close enough to the surface of
the sea in which she is submerged to
make a fresh observation. Bearings
are obtained by lifting out of water
the upper end of vertical tubular
device called periscope. The ex-
pertinent would probably be tried
when the submarine was so near to
her foe that detection of the former
by the latter might prove serious
matter. A few well directed shots
from small caliber rapid fire gun
On the threatened battleship would
disable. if they did not sink, its tiny
assailant. Lookouts on big warships
have, therefore, been trained to
watch for anything which resembles
the tip of periscope during naval
maneuvers, and to report their dis
,overies promptly, says the New
York Tribune. At least, such is the
practice in the French navy, which
includes considerable number of
submarines, and which has given
Them many public trials.

CHARMS CARRIED By R0GUES,
oad Articles Kept In Their Pocketa
70 save The m from Arrest and
Punishment.

A Vienna professor of criminal law,
DR.. Hans Gross, has published valu-
able book, 1.-THE Research of the Real
Facts in Criminal Offenses," one Of
the most interesting chapters in which
is devoted to the part superstition
plays in the lives of criminals and in
the course of justice, says London Tit
Bits.
DIR. Gross proves his assertions by
facts. He saw a maid almost SEN
fenced to several years imprisonment
because her account of the way in
which she came to possess valuable
opal ring that she tried to sell was
not believed. She said that lady
whom she did not know and had never
seen before in her life gave her the
ring in the street. One of her judges
CHANGED to remember that opals were
considered unlucky by women, and
the affair was well looked into, with
the result that the girls story was
proved true.
The woman had inherited the ring
and was told she could get rid of the
ill-luck it would bring if she gave it
TO the first person she met ON going
out.
A very frequent proceeding in Aus
tria u for those who have been robbed
to accuse innocent persons on the un-
substantiated testimony of fortune
tellers, who claim to be able to tell
from the cards where to seek thief.
Crimes are still committed because
the old magicians' books are believed
| in. The idea that to drink warm hu-
man blood, obtained by crime, cures
epilepsy is still very general. Other
fits, according to superstition, are
cured by chewing wood from an old
coffin.
Not quite two years ago two Ger
man soldiers found an old book which
gave the magic form by which it wai
| asserted that mans head could be
cut off and put on again without hurt
ing him. The promise was made that
| a man thus treated could find treas
ures wherever he sought them. Ont
of the soldiers actually had his head
cut of.
The things which criminals carry or
their person are often clew to theil
pursuits and character. Thus poach
ers carry the roots of fern which re
semble small hands and are called thu
hands of St. John.
The mandragora root is supposed
to help one to open locks. besides be
ing an aid to lovers and gamblers
The latter, who hope to use false card
without being detected, carry TIL
dried heart of bat in their waistcoa
pockets. There are innumerable su
perstitions according to which a mai
may swear q false oath and not b
the worse for it.
| Some criminals put the left han'
IN their pockets and make a fist, o
they twist button OF their trousers
or spit three times, or put small
stones under their tongue. Some al
ways have the leaves of mistletoe i
their shoes to be prepared for a falls
oath at any time. But the most FIRE
quent way is called conducting
through the body" While the RICH
hand is raised the left is held dowr
and the fingers of the left are held i
the same position as those of the RICH
hand. In this way the oath "passe
through" and does not signify.
