ZULU MAGIC. Extraordinary Performances of Witch Doctors. A Professor of the Black Art 1s Astound- ed by the Tricks of Native Jug- glers in Southern Africa. During the Zulu war, says Prof. Kel- lar, the well-known magician, in an article in the North American Review, Iwasin South Africa, traveling north through Zululand. In Dunn's reserva- tion, two hundred miles north from Durban, in Natal, I saw a witch doctor levitate the form of a young Zulu by waving a tuft of grass about his head, amid surroundings caleulated to im- press themselves deeply upon the most prosaic imagination. It was evening and the witch doctor, who belonged to the class more than once described by Rider Haggard with great accuracy, was as revolting in his appearance as the high caste fakirs had been pleasing. A number of fakirs had gathered about our camp fire and I had given them some illustrations of my own skill. They Seemed puzzled, but were not specially curious. One of them stole away and after some minutes re- turned with their own conjurer, the witch doctor in question. After con- siderable solicitation from the natives, the intricacies of which my knowlédge of the Zulu language did not enable me quite to penetrate, the conjurer, who at first seemed reluctant to give his consent to an exhibition of his powers before me, took a knob kerry or club and fastened it at the end of a thong of rawhide about two feet long. A young native, tall and athletic, whose eyes seemed to be fixed upon those of the conjurer with an apprehensive steadfastness, took his own knob kerry and fastened it at the end of a similar thong of hide. The two then stood ubout six feet apart, in the full glare of the fire, and began, all the while in silence, to whirl their knob kerries about their heads. I noticed that when the two clubs seemed, in their swift, flight, almost to come in contact, a spark of flame passed, or appeared to pass, from one of them to the other. The third time this happened there was an explosion, the spark appeared to burst, the young man’s knob kerry was shattered to pieces, and he fell to the ground apparently lifelesss. The witch doctor turned to the high grass a few feet behind us and gathered a handful of stalks about three feet long. Stand- ing in the shadow and away from the fire he waved, with a swift motion, ex- actly similar to that of the clubs a few minutes before, the bunch of grass around the head of the young Zulu, who lay as dead in the firelight. In a mo- ment or two the grass seemed to ignite in its flight, although the witch doctor was not standing within twenty feet of the fire, and burned slowly, crackling audibly. Approaching more closely the form of the native in the trance the conjurer waved the flaming grass gently over his figure, about a foot from the flesh. To my intense amazement the recumbent body slowly rose from the ground and floated upward in the air to the height of about three feet, remain- ing in suspension and moving up and down, according as the passes of the burning grass were slower or faster. As the grass burned out and dropped to the ground the body returned to its po- sition on the ground, and after a few passes from the hands of. the witch doc- tor the young Zulu leaped to his feet, apparently none the worse for his won- derful experience. WITH A SPIDER’S WEB. Power Could Be Transmitted from a Big Engine If Run Fast Enough. “Science can do some wonderful things,” said Samuel Watson, a practi- eal engineer, who has been devoting some time to studying the various meth- ods of transporting power from the mo- tor to the machine. He reada paper on his discoveries some time ago before one of the engineering societies in New York, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. “It would strike you as rather funny to see the slender line of a spider’s web conveying the power from a two hun- dred and fifty horse-power engine, wouldn't it? But it bas been demon- strated that such a thing can be done. Now let us start with the most common and general method of transporting power, the ordinary leather belt. Sir Robert Ball, an eminent scientific en- gineer, has found that the heavy slow- running belt can, when the conditions are favorable for a change from weight to speed, be made away with, and a light-running, cotton rope may take its place with a greater amount of satisfaction than the belting ever gave. Following up this line of thought it has been demonstrated that a rope as light as sewing cotton going at the same rate of speed as a rifle ball would satisfac- torily carry a single horse-power. Now take the extreme lightest line known to the world, that of the spider's web, and the extreme highest-known velocity of travel, which is that of light, and we find that, astounding as it may seem, if a line of spider's web could bedriven at the speed of light, it would satisfac- ctorily carry something over two hun- dred and fifty horse-power. Singular, isn’t it? But Sir Robert Ball's discov- ery in this respect is going to be of in- estimable value in electricity in a very short while.” A Remarkabie Fineral Procession. When Tsching Tschu, the grand chamberlain and brotherin-law of Prince Kung of China died, he was fol- lowed and preceded by a‘ remarkable procession. The bier was carried by eighty men, each pair of whom had poles of different lengths under it. These eighty men were preceded by forty-six flag bearers, eight camels and twenty-four snow-white horses. Be- hind the pallbearers came one hundred and sixty men, each bearing their por tion of sixteen long planks. These planks or boards were painted red, and over this in yellow Ictters were the mames and titles of the deceased noble- man FACTS ABOUT THE POPES. Sons of Princes and Poor Men Have Ruled the Catholic Church. Eighty of the popes are honored as saints, thirty-one as martyrs and forty- three as confessors. St. Agatho’ was the only pope that lived to be a centen- arian; he is also the only one after St. Peter who may be honored with the title miracle-worker. St. Agatho died at the age of 107, in the year 682, after having reigned three years, six months and fifteen days. Gregory IX. died at the age of 9S years; Celestine HI. aud Gregory XII. at the age of 92; John XXII. at the age of 90; Clement XII. at the age of 88, and Clement X. and Pius IX. at the age of 86. The popes have been drawn from all classes of ciety, says the St. Louis Republic. Nineteen were sons of near relatives of princes, and an equal number came from illus- trious families. Many came from abso- lute poverty and obscurity. Sixtus VII. was the son of avery poor fisherman; Alexander V. was the son of very poor and unknown parents, the future pope spending all his young life in begging on the streets. Adrian, the only English pope, was abandoned early in life by a worthless father and had to subsist on charity, until, going as a tramp to find an asylum in France, he entered a monastery or convent as a servant. His real worth was soon manifested in hi diligence, and his virtues and intelli- | genee soon won for him the papal tiara. Sixtus V. had for father a poor laborer, acommon servant fora mother anda laundress of vicious habits for a sister. Celestine V. was the son of a farmer of no means and little intelligence. Bene- dict XII. spent his childhood in a bake shop. Urban IV learned the carpen- ter’s trade from ais father, as did also Gregory VII. Five of the popes studied medicine before taking holy orders. Julius III. was the son of a famous jut risconsult. Benedict XI. was the son of a poor notary. The father of Pelagius I. was a prefect and the vicar of his province. The father of Paul V. wasa patrician of Sienna. The fathers of Eugene IV., Gregory XII. and Alexan- der XII. all belonged to the patrician families of Venice. Catholics enumerate but two hundred and sixty popes, while some Protestant authorities give the number as two hundred and nincty- eight, which includes twenty-four anti- popes. Of the whole number twenty- six were deposed, nineteen were com- pelled to give up the tiara and leave Rome, sixty-four died violent deaths, eight were poisoned, one was shut up in a cage, one was strangled, one smoth- ered to death, one died by having nails driven into his temples and one was hanged, or, as the account says, ‘died by a noose around his neck.” FLIGHT OF THE CROWS. Armies of Birds in the Sky Hastening to the South. “The preliminary gathering of crows before they take their flight to the southland at the approach of winter is always interesting to me,” said a trav- eler to aSt. Louis Globe-Democrat man. “I donot think that they take their flight from this section of the country, as the winters here are not severe enough. But from the Dakotas and the south. ern Canadian provinces they leave in great numbers after the first severe frosts. One cold, frosty morning I arose and looked out of my bedroom window in Red Eric, Dak., down into a neighboring cornfield that was bounded by a rail fence and from which even the dry shocks had been removed. Only the stubble, bleak and frost-cov- ered, remained. “The village of Red Eric, is lo- cally famous for crows. They gather about there in. large rumbers and ob- tain considerable food from a neighbor- ing wild rice marsh. I noticed that the tiers of rails, rising seven in num- ber, were thickly sprinkled with crows, perched about and cawing most vocifer- ously. I was rather amused at the spectacle, and stood enjoying it, when Tobserved a long line of crows ap- proaching from over a neighboring patch of forest. These also settled down within the inclosure. I watched for several hours and continually ob- served great flocks of crows to come from all directions and gather in the field. By noon the fences and ground fairly swarmed with the birds. It seemed to me that there were hundreds of thousands. Then no more came for awhile. The denouement of the whole affair wasa great flapping of wings, and, division by division, the great gath- ering left in harmonious order. It took them fully half an hour before all were under way. When the last flock or di- vision took wing I looked to the south and saw the line dimly fading away into space. Then I knew they were migrating, and I fully understood the beauty of that harmonious _ simile: ‘Like the flight of birds.” ” The Pale White Light of Death. Those who have admired the phos- phoresecent glow of certain species of efustace will be interested to learn that a startling discovery respecting it has been made. Formerly it was sup- posed that such creatures emitted the light of their own accord and that they used it in a variety of ways. It is now known the light isa disease as deadly to the infected individuals as cobra poisoning is tothe human species. M. Girard has traced phosphoresent light in tatitrus and other crustaceans to ex- ceedingly small bacteria in the muscles. On inoculating healthy specimens with glowing bacteria the same luminous appearance was transmitted. He also notes that the disease runs a regular course and that those infected die within four days, the phosphorescence lasting but a short while after death. The Beautiful Esquimaux Tongue. Mr. Whymper, in a paper upon Green- land in the Alpine Journal, character- izes the Esquimaux language as “‘sent- entious.” A single word, he says, is made to convey an idea which in Eng- lish would require a full sentence. Of such words he offers one example—a word meaning: “You must try much to get a good knife.” Here it is: Sa yecenearreatoresooaratlaromaronaie- tok. Mr. Whymper dees not indicate how this precions pollysyllable is to be pronounced. | ORIGIN OF PAPER MONEY. Believed to Have Been First Issued by Italian Bankers Five Centuries Ago- Paper money developed from the bills of exchange or certificates of the banks was probably first issued by the Italian bankers of the fourteenth cen- tury, says the San Francisco Examiner. Governments found it an easy way of obtaining money in times of necessity, being, in effect, a forced loan from the people. Paper bills are promises to pay, and when the government issues them in exchange for supplies or serv- ice it has actually borrowed just as much from the man to whom it p: them. It, however, allows him to pass this note in payment of his debts, so in- stead of being a loan from him singly it is a loan from the whole people. The ease with which the notes may be is- sued has led many governments into disastrous experiments in time of war or stress, the promises being issued in such profusion that they became of no value. The continental currency issued during the revolution by the American congress, and the assignats of the French revolution may be instanced. Paper money depends for its value on the ability of the authority that issues it to give value for it when payment is demanded. When the issue of the civil war was in doubt the value of the greenbacks issued by the United States sank to one-third their face value, due partly to a lack of confidenee in the government and due still more to the certainty that payment of the notés must be indefinitely postponed. Even when the war closed and there was no longer doubt of the government the eurrency was depreciated for thirteen ears. The government was in the po- sition of the man known to his neigh- bors as “‘good, but slow pay.” His notes pass at a discount. The government was known to be good for the amount, and it was certain that it would be ready to redeem its notes some day, but that was not enough for the man who wanted to use the money right away. He thus passed the notes at a discount. The value of paper money thus de- pends at any given moment on the promise of the government to redeem it. If the promise will be met when the notes are presented they pass at their face value. If there is doubt on this point the notes must pass at discount, greater or less according to circum- stances. If there is no chance that they will ever be paid they are worth noth- ing atall. As the United States gov- ernment has stood ready since 1879 to redeem in gold any notes as soon as presented, its currency passes without question as to its face value. IN JAPANESE SOCIETY. Curious Rules to Be Observed by Guests iu the Land of the Mikado. The visitor must leave his fan in the ante-chamber, and, entering the re- ception room, seat himself respectfully on his heels in front of the shrine. If there are three kakemonos (pictures on rollers), he must examine first the cen- ter one, then that to the left and lastly the one on the right hand. He then is supposed to signify his opinion as to the particular merits of the floral trophy. There are strict rules as to the exact degree of admiration to be expressed, according to the character of the specimens. The Saturday Re- view says indiscriminating gush is not permitted: in polite circles. The re- spectful inspection over and the proper things said, the host presents to his guest on a tray cut flowers and branches, a knife, a scissors, a small saw, @ vase and a napkin, at the same time rolling up the kakemonos, “as it is considered to be demanding too much of a visitor to expect him to ex- temporize a flower arrangement in har- mony,” but the guest may face the dif! culty and retain the unfamiliar back- ground. The master of the house now offers one of his most precious vases suitable to the season and the flowers and the visitor pleads his inability to do justice to so beautiful a receptacle, but if pressed to make use of it he must then take care that the arrangement is simple and unobtrusive, so as not to distract attention from the vase. When completed the implements are again arranged on the tr with the exception of the which are “left near the flowers as a silent and modest invitation to the master of the house to correct faults.” The host sweeps up the rubbish and takes away the tray. The other visitors, who have meantime been waiting in the ante- room, are now admitted to pay the proper compliment. Before leaving the artist, unless a person of superior rank, takes the flowers out of the vase; “it is considered presumptuous of him to quit without destroying the evidence of his ll.” Should the entertainer by inadvertence have supplied scented flowers on an occasion such as an “in- cense meeting,” when perfume is pro- hibited, the polite artificer makes no remark, but snips off the blossoms, leaving only the unopened and scent- less buds. The flowers must not be | offered trimmed, or they might look as if they had been previously used. A Good Heart. There was a wise man among the Jews, says an old fable, who bade his scholars tell him what was the best thing for a man to have and keep. One said, a liberal and contented disposi- tion; another, a good companion and friend; a third, a kind and good neigh- bor; and a fourth, the wisdom to fore- see the future and so shape the life as to be successful and happy. But the fifth said that a good heart was better than them all, for that, he added, will be both contented, a good companion sors, enable one so to live on, in the best sense, to be successfu! and so truly happy. A Wateh Made of Iron. At a recent mehanical fair held at Worcester, England, a watch was ex- hibited in perfect running order con- structed wholly of iron. The object of this curiosity was to illustrate the malleability of iron, and its consequent adaptation to a wide variety of novel uses. Such articles, when made of iron, may be easily electro-plated with gold or silver, or adorned with all the beauty of the enameler’s art. .
