Strengthening of belief III it. Witch
craft at that time had become a frenzy,
and anything which by any stretch of
the imagination could be suspected of
implication with witchcraft became q
subject of discussion and the basis of
firm opinions and beliefs. In 1901,
however, the Inquisition issued a de-
cree against the further use of the di-
vining rod in criminal prosecution, and
this use of the device rapidly came to
an end

Recent Discussions.

In the later part of the eighteenth
century an attempt was made to ex-
plain water witching as an electric
phenomenon, and later it was discussed
as a psychic phenomenon. At almost
every step i'll the advance of science
some one has attempted to explain its
supposed operation by means of the
latest scientific theories.
Before the present war there were
several societies in Germany whose sole
object was said to be the study of the
divining rod. In 1910 the department
of agriculture of France appointed a
committee to investigate the subject
and in 1914 this committee was still
investigating.

ADD MARBLES TO CURRICULUM
Popular Sprinstime Pastme for Boys
to Be Taken on by University
of California. 49,,
"Fen dubs, there :"

"Fen dubs, there" .a 4
"Knuckle down, now Prexy"
"Say, Prof, how many taws Will
you swap for my moss agatef"
These are the sporting terms In the
yernacular which soon may be heard
on the campus of the University OF
California, according to the San Fran
cisco Bulletin. The spectacle of a
group of bearded dignified educators
sauatting down on their "hunkers,"
while one of their number commands
their attention by the exhibition of his
skill, may be common one.
The new course in applied science
to be included in the curriculum EN-
braces the ancient problem OF the ir-
resistible force and the immovable
body. 1t has to do with the tendency
of one spherical object to impart mo-
tion by coming in violent contact with
another spherical object previously in
n state of inertia, when the first OBJ
iect is given certain velocity and mo-
mentum.
This Is done by an intricate method
of eXpulSlOH, III WHICH, the Spilciet
placed in juxtaposltion of the first and
second joint of the thumb, is propelled
through space by dexterous FLIP OF
the member which previously had
been held In a condition of suppressed
energy by means Of interlocking two
or more digits.
In other words, the game Of mar
bles is to be part of the university
course. The ancient and honorable
pastime, by which the vernal season OF
the calendar Is heralded by the small
boy, has been included in the scheme
of exercise in the gymnasium, accord
Ing 10 the announcement of F. l.. kiee
berger, physical director.
Not only the undergraduates, but
the instructors and professors of the
university intend to take course. De
grees possibly will be awarded the
most skillful. 1t is held that the nc
tivity necessary to play marbles VII
be beneficial to a high measure.

Heavy Work Done With Steel.

British and French alike use the
heavy grenade for defensive work,
where the thrower is sheltered by a
trench or shell hole. But when the
word comes to 'go over" the English
give little thought to the grenade. The
bombardiers make few long range
throws as the force approaches the
other trench, but once in the Briton
does his work with the iron. The mop
pers-up who follow carry grenades for
then. work, while their comrades tear
across country for the next trench. :.
This appears to be one Of the essen-
tial differences in French and English
grenade practice which the Americans
will be called on to decide between.
At present the opinion of the Ameri-
can line officers seems to lean to the
English idea that the light offem ave
grenade is of scant worth. No daAs-
ion will be reached until both plans
have been subjected to trial.

Give cheerfuIness a Chance.

Cheerfulness is much rarer quality
than is generally supposed, especially
among the rich. 1t was not common
even before we learned that, in spite
of Browning though God may be in
his heaven, nevertheless, all Is wrong
In the world.
If "most men lead lives of quiet
desperation" as Thoreau says they do,
it is, l suspect, because they will not
allow cheerfulness to break in upon
them when it will. A good disposition
Is worth fortune. Give cheerfulness
n chance and let the professed philoso-
pher go hang.-A. Edward Newton, in
