a local theater had engaged a young
lady dancer. whose performances mt

let her appear. and the fair dancer
took action against him for breach of
contract The defendant alleged that
she had not even learned the first
steps of her art. and here being n plain
issue. the judge determined to decide
for himself. A space was accordingly
forthwith cleared on the floor of the
court. and in these unusual surround

her steps and pirouettings In the re-
suit the judge felt justified in certify.

Nearly every one is familiar with
the common horseshoe magnet. which
is but piece of steel bent In the

magnetism. When steel bar of this
shape is rubbed against another mag
net it is charged" and will remain so
for long time. The magnets used In
electrical machinery are of the Undue

taken away from them. If you wind
a long insulated wire tig lily around a
soft iron core and send through this
wire a weak current of electricity the

strong magnetic qualities. This fact
is the basis of all electric motors and

SHADOW LEGENDS
ZuIus Believe the Bodily Shade Is
the Future Spirit.
TAKING AWAY ONES SHADOW.
Why Some Races Are Forbidden to
Look Into a Dark Pool Of Water.
The Way Donald Mckay Managed to
Escape the Clutches of the Devil.

That mysterious counterpart of a
human being which lengthens with
the day and disappears with the sun,
to reappear more family with the
rising of the moon. which we call
shadow, has always struck the imagi-
nation of man. 1t has played promi-
nent part in primitive superstition and
in later folklore. Shadows or shades
was the classical name or figure for
the spirits of the departed which still
remains in use
This idea is not confined to civilized
races. Among the Zulus the spirit is
the shade. Bishop Galloway, whose
knowledge of Zulu beliefs and modes
OF thought was unrivaled, says that
the Zulus connect the bodily shade
with the future diSembodied spirit.
They believe that the shadow cast by
the body will ultimately become the
"itongo.' or spirit, when the body dies.
and they say that the long shadow
shortens "as man approaches his end
When they see the shadow of a man
thus contracting, they know he will
die The long shadow goes away
when man is dead. and It is that
which Is meant when 1t is said. The
shadow has departed There is. how
ever, a short shadow which remains
with the body and is buried with II.
The long shadow becomes an ances.
trail spirit.
Identification of the shadow in onv
mysterious or spiritual way with the
person whose body casts it, naturally
leads to respect for the strange second
SELF. To tread on the shadow of n
chief is an Insult to the chief himself
In the Institutes of Manu-. the ancient
Hindu law giver. the law runs:
Let him not Intentionally pass over
the shadow of sacred images, of a
natural or spiritual father, of n KING
OF Brahmin who keeps house. or of
any reverend parsonage. nor of one
VINO mas just performed sacrifice"
Ihere are traces of the survival of
these primitive ways of regarding n
mans shadow in the English country
ieellng that it is unlucky to cross the |
pain or newly married man as he |
ieaVes the altar: and in another rural |
Delief that IT is unlucky to cross the
path OF horses ploughing when the sun
Is shining behind them.
Association between shadows and
mifrored representations of the human
form is obviously natural, SO it is NOT |
surprising to find superstitions about |
