Superstition Among French People

superstition Among French People.
That superstition and belief In
witchcraft and sOrcery are not dead
In France was shown the other day
in the case of a young Partisan girl
who, acting on the advice of fortune
teller buried calf's heart in wom-
ans grave in order to recover the af-
lection of her faithless lover.
In the provinces such cases are
common. There are villagers who are
popularity believed to cast spells over
their neighbors; magicians and sor-
cerers in the back valleys of the
Loire and on the lonely Landes of
Brittany who WELD mysterious power
and call up unseen forces of good or
evil to sooth or terrorize the peas
ants.
Frequently French superstition finds
comfort in good spirits" in the form
of magicians who are learned in the
art Of discovering buried treasure or
of healing the sick. They are reputed
to hold converse with the spirits of
the departed and are consulted by
their neighbors on family affairs like
wills or marriages just as the Oraclea
were consulted in ancient times.

Ma. sIous Energy.

A professor of chemistry at Co.
lumbia says that Sir Ernest Ruther.
ford has bombarded nitrogen gas with
the alpha rays of radiurn, thereby
producing an explosion, the force and
velocity of which is sufficient to send
these helium atoms around the world
In less than a second. This energy is
millions Of times greater than that
generated by any chemical reactions,
such as the combustion of coal. It
Is claimed that if these effects can be
both intensified and controlled, we
shall then have at our disposal an
almost illimitable supply of power
which will entirely transcend any,
thing hitherto known.

as bit OF shock when the criticism

one protest against daylight saw
ing III our state is that it causes the
women OF the household to rise and
prepare breakfast an hour earlier but
1t does not insure their having supper
any sooner than before, and if almost
certainly prevents their keeping
servant through the added evening
hour and in that case their DAVIS work
becomes not only longer but harder

Everyone knows that the amount
OF radium in the world is very small,
but its value in the war for use in
making luminous paint for gun sights
points of compass and so forth was
so great that arrangements were made
tor using some in that way. Now the
British government has collected this
surplus paint and extracted about a
gramme of the radium for scientific
use again.

Every general conference or assem-
bly, OF the large churches of the coun-
try take steps toward closer rela-
tionship between the Northern and
Southern branches estranged since the
war. The Presbyterians seem to be
generally favorable by recent overtures
of both branches The last Southern
Baptist convention in Jacksonville de-
clined to name committee for that
purpose, although an unofficial con-
ference of both branches held in Col
umbia, Mo-, recently made proposals
for such action.
The Methodists north and south have
had committees and resolutions pend
ing for long time. 1t appears that
it is less difference of creed or fra

apart than it is property of which both
churches have such valuable holdings.
The general conferences meeting only
once in four years, makes the progress
toward unity slower than otherwise.
1t is interesting to note the vehe-
