Of ten-year-old boy who lives In

The story was related before the

Miss Kohn, is her young nephew,
Damodar Ketkar, who was adopted
by Miss Kohn's sister when he was

The youngster Is coming to England

that this mysterious spirit was maxi

Damodar had to be fed by hand and
all glass objects had to be removed.
AS the child moved through the room
he was surrounded by broken glass,
and scattered liquids, particularly sac

to have an especial aversion.

Common Artistic Error
i'm Depicting New Moon

Artists accustomed to inserting q
new moon in picture in the most
artistic position often transgress the
laws of nature, as the horns Of the
crescent moon must always point In n
definite direction, depending primarily
on the latitude Of the observer.
In the north temperate zone the new
moon us seen just after sunset always
points upward and to the left. In this
latitude the sun circles to the south
and, as 1t approaches the western hor-
lion descends obliquely from left to
right. The new moon, following the
sun, takes approximately the same
course, and since the horns always
point away from the sun, they turn
upward and to the left.
In the southern part of the earth
the reverse is true, while in the trop-
les the horns point almost directly up
ward. The position Of the old moon
as 1t rises in the morning Is the re-
verse Of that Of the new moon as
viewed from the same latitude.-Popu

Odd Powers Attributed to Gems in Ages Past

While in modern times the value of
Jewels depends on their use as orna-

the ancients attached a far different
significance to them. In their minds
gems were endowed with gifts of spir-
itual and material power and were
credited with the ability to cure dis.
eases, avert trouble and drive away
the demons, which harassed the i'm

rise to he wearing OF amulets, the
