Fret Maqic Lantern.

Takcrs in the old days were no less
quick than their present brethren 10
take advantage of scientific discover
les TO fool the public. In 1916, one
AthanaSius Kircher announced to the
few German scientists Of his day thar
he had discovered an instrument which
would throw large pictures Of any
drawing or painting placed ON il, upon
Il white screen. He wrote quite Il
treatise on this first magic lantern
and called il the Arm Magma l.ucis
ct Umhrae."
From scientific point Of view
Klrchers discovery did not make Il
very deep impression, But half a
dozen travelling magicanS some
how or other got hold of copies OF
the first magic lantern. They trav-
eled far and wide through the coun-
try, and they not only scared the
peasants and small-town peoples out
of their wits, but by making a
speciality Of showing pictures of the
devil. of poor souls frying in purga-
tory and other unpleasant subjects,
they collected considerable sums in
return for the promise to keep these
evil spirits ont of the homes of their
victims.

Mavhe MGracan Widow.

Divorced women, or those who are
separated from their husbands, are
called grass widows" II is said that
this originated from an English rural
term, grass mare" meaning a horse
that has been TUNED out to pasture
Some claim that it is derived from
"grace widow" meaning that the wom-
an Is widow by courtesy of law or
agreement but not by the death of her
husband.
Tho expression was first used in this
country in 1910 when SO many men
Went to California at the time Of the
gold strike and left their wives at
home.
In England the word is one of dis
repute, being applied TO former mis-
WeSseS or unmarried mothers.

"hlarum. Scarum.n

Harum-scarum is a perfectly good
word used in connection with a person
who is exceedingly Wild reckless or
thoughteSS, The word probably origi-
mated from combination of the two
English verbs "hare," TO excite or
worry, and scare" to brighten. Locke,
in his Essay ON Education" uses
hare" as a verb in this manner;
TO hare and rate them is not to
teach but TO yex them"
In this country, it is generally sup
posed that "harum-scarum" is an
Americanixation due probably to
Washington Irying's use of it in his
"Alhambra." where he wrote:
From a walk. the horse soon
passed TO trot from trog to a gal
Top and from gallop to a harum-
scarum scamper."
