Strange eood.Luck charm.

The famous gambling resorts of
Deauville and Monte Carlo are unusu-
ally rich in superstitions, and queer
are the faiths of the men and women
gamblers in good-luck charms and
omens.
At Monte Carlo a man and woman
appeared at the tables each night, and
while the man played, the woman re-
NAMED seated nursing a black cat for
luck. The mans luck was good at
first, but it changed later. To play
with the third and fourth fingers Of
the left hand crossed is a device which
one woman affirmed gave her luck, but
she could not explain it.
At Deauville a Russian explained
his success by admitting that he ate
a considerable quantity of almonds
for dinner every night Amethyst tie
pins are popular at the gambling re-
sorts because of their alleged luck
bringing virtues, and every hunchback
that appears on the streets is rubbed
against constantly.

PROJECTED BY AIR ENVELOPE
Without the Atmosphere Surrounding
1t, the Earth Would Be Bonn
bsrded by Meteors.

The ordinary shooting star. or me-
teor may be a piece of matter prob
ably not much bigger than a baseball.
Millions of these small bodies move
about in the wide regions of space.
1t is one of the great laws of as
tronomy that every body. whether
1t is tiny meteor or a large star,
must revolve about some other body.
The meteors travel in great com
panies round the sun. For millions OF
years they may continue ON their path.
then one day swarm Of them begins
to feel the pull of the earth's attrac-
ton.
They are dragged from their path.
slowly at first. and then with enor-
mously increasing speed until at last
they strike the envelope of air which
surrounds this planet.
Here, owing to their terrific speed,
such great friction is set up that they
catch fire, and flash across the sky,
leaving a trail Of glowing dust behind
them.
1t is a good thing for us that we
have such a meteor catcher as the at
mosphere to protect us. Otherwise
we should be subjected to a ceaseless
bombardment of stones and pieces OF
metal from the realms of space.
Occasionally a giant among the
shooting stars pays us visit in the
form of fire ball or metaorite, weigh
ing several tons. These big fellows
are often not entirely consumed as
they pass through the air. They gem
orally burst into large fragments at
some distance from the earth's sur
face and their flying pieces have
worked havoc on many occasions.

There seems to be a good deal of
misunderstanding as to whether or not
certain courses, which have been given
in the Normal school for a number of
years, have been abolished.
1t is not true that the college depart
ment in the Normal School has been
abolished. All the college courses
which have been given for several
years past Will be given during the
coming year as usual.
1t is not true that the Art School

1t is true that the Board of Regents

If this intention should be carried out,
