SUPERSTITION AN OLD ONE
Ln All Ages the Belief In "Crysta,
Gazing" Has Been More or Less
Strongly Held.

Crystal gazing, or "Scrying," as writ
ers on the subject term 1t, has been
practiced pretty we'll over the world
from ancient times to the present. IN
early times they used to scry In springs
and bowls OF water. In the British
museum there is crystal ball said
to have been used by DR.. Dee, wizard
of the time of Queen Bess. Cagliostre.
that sublime huInbug Of the eighteenth
century, used to place pail Of water
on the stage and request some child
to come ont Of the audience and gaze
into it. The child would babble of
castles. pageants and other marvellous
pictures he could see In the clear
liquid. The society for psychical re-
search. certain of whose members, one
would almost conclude. are ready tn
swallow whole superstition in any
shape, has done some crystal gazing
and at last accounts had glass balls
for sale at its headquarters in London.
The late Andrew Lang stated his be
lief that some people have the faculty
"of seeing faces, places, persons in
motion in glass ball, in water. INK
or any clear deep" but scouts the no.
ton that serving can accomplish any
thing in the way of finding lost prop
erty or in foretelling the future, as llas
been claimed for it by crystal gazing
enthusiasts. As a crystal ball is not
absolutely necessary, by oil accounts,
and glass pitcher of water will do
Just as well, almost anybody may make
experiments in serving. The liquid first
turns black. 1T is claimed, then come
the pictures. Some Of us may feel that
1t would require a wait of at least a
hundred years before anything could
be seen.
