Cards and Gard Playing.

In a paper in the Journal of the Roy
al Society of Arts Professor FL. Cheney
discussing the part played by gambling
in magic. observes: The use of cards
is said to be derived from the Turot
cards, which We're originally employed
for occult purposes. The legend which
aseribes the invention of cards to the
purpose of amusing mad king does
not seem at all sufficient explana-
ton. and there is In addition the fact
that cards of kind existed before the
said king. In further support of this
idea the well known practice of telling
fortunes by cards may probably be re-
garded as a survival of regular form
of divination by such means. 1t seems.
in fact. that card playing for stakes IS
a, mere development of ceremony in
which individuals consulting the ora
Gle decided to abide by its pronounce
ments as to the holding Of disputed
property.

Her Young Husband
Eaten By AlligatOrs

London, Aug. 5.-Tne tragic expe-
erience OF a young English bride,
whose husband was eaten by alligators
| in the GAM es, was related at Ply
mouth when the P. and o. liner Malwa
arrived from India.
Among the passenger was Mrs. Live
say who was married three months
ago at Cawnpore, where her husband
was stationed. A month ago she had
arranged to leave for Cardiff, to see
some friends and picnic was arrang-
ed as q farewell gathering. Mr.. and
Mrs. Livesay, with several others,
started down the Ganges in double
decked boat to reach the scene OF the
picnic by water. The water was
beautifully fine and the party was in
the happiest of moods.
Near the landing place an accident
occurred. the boat suddenly turned
turtle, the occupants being thrown into
the water. A terrifying scene ensued,
as at this spot the river is infested
v it'll alligators. Within few moments
the animals were plunging among the
struggling men and women, several OF
whom:disappeared. Mrs. Livesay was
rescued by colleague of her hus-
bands, J. R. Scott, but Mr.. Livesay
aud three others were not seen again,
and were, it is presumed, eaten by
the alligators.
Mr.. Livesay, who was merchant
and a native of London, was twenty
six years of age. His widow is year

M.t.ors and the Atmosphere

One of the most useful results arts
ing from the study of sporadic meteors
is the light thrown upon the question
Of the height of the atmosphere. since
it is the friction of the air that sets
them on fire. and if their elevation is
known at the moment Of their first ap-
pearance the probable height of the at
mosphere can be calculated On Aug

to impress its picture simultaneously
