The Last of the Witches.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times. August II.
Today marks an anniversary Of peculiar
significance in the history of civilization.
1t was l75 years ago-August IL, 1896
that the English parliament abolished
the crime of witchcraft The last witch
had been tried in England in 1872, and
escaped; but in Scotland one was burned
as late as 1722. Still the law OF 1908,
against making invocation or conjura-
ton OF any evil or wicked spirit" re-
manned on the statute books OF Christian
and civilized England until an attempt
was made to revive the prosecutions,
when parliament finally abolished the act
Perhaps there is no greater blot upon
the nations OF Europe than this witch
craft delusion. which they inherited from
pagan Rome. The practices which the
poet Horace ascribes to the witch Gambia
are almost the same that the middle ages
imputed TO practitioners Of satanic arts.
Neither learning nor piety rendered men
immune to this superstition, Luther be-
lievcd in witches, and so did Wesley as
late as 1l6S. Hundreds of thousands of
unfortunate women, poor old creatures
compelled by torture to confess crimes

Problem of the Passenger.

rom the Literary blgesi
Every one knows that the problem OF
passenger transportation Is dual one
that OF carrying persons from one city TO
another and that of moving persons
about in one city. especially from their
homes 10 their work and back. But 1t
is not always realized that an important
part of interurban transportation is the
carrying Of travellers from their starting
point TO the place where they begin their
interurban journey, and from the place
where they end IL To their destination.
Thus, in the words of an editorial writer
in the Engineering Record the trans
portation problem is just much munich

THE average journey does not begin at
the railroad station. but 1T ones home

most people is III reaching the station.

transit lines The time has gone by in a
large city when n central location for a

Migrating Squirrels.
q New York Mail.

From the New York Mail.
Farmers In central Kentucky are at
present combating an extraordinary IN
yasion Of squirrels. The animals are SO
numerous that in some localities farmers
have organized to fight them In oruer 10
save their crops from DESTRUCTION.
Extensive migrations OF squirrels are
OF frequent though not of regular oc-
ourranca In Indiana, kentucky, Missouri
and other states. With the approach OF
autumn the creatures instinctively seek
the regions where the supply OF their nat
ural food is most abundant. and the quest
often leads them over great distances.
The failure of the nut crop in districts
inhabited by squirrels is almost invariably
followed by migration of the entire
squirrel population to other territory.
In some parts Of the country an inva-
sion of. squirrels is regarded as sure
sign Of an exceptionally cold winter. Yet
the oldest inhabitant when asked to
explain why, never does so.

the name of religion and humanity. At
Toulouse 400 were executed at once: at
Geneva 500 witches were burned in three
months One judge at Nancy condemned
800 during six years: in the city Of Treves
alone 1000 victims were immolated; in
Scotland the executions averaged 200 a
year for forty years. IN all 1t is esti-
mated that not less than 100000 persons
were burned for this imaginary crime.
