Several years a;:o a large print lng works In Paris was turning out in mense quantt't of calendars. through which a smnai. round bole had been punched to receive an eyelet for hold lng the sheen together. A heap of the little circular scraps of paper cut out, by the punch accumulated on a taible. and one of the machine men amused himself by scattering a handful of them over a working girl's hair. She Immnediately snatched up a handful and threw them In his face. Other girls followed her example, and the first confetti battle began. The head of the establishment came in when It was at its height. and. being what the Americans call a -smart man." he at once relied that there was -money: in it." He ordered special machinery. placed large quantities of the new ar ticle on the market, made a fortune and created a new Industry. The Ways uf MVoles. Among common animalis few hare been less studied in their life history than the mole. An English natural Ist. Mr. Lionel E. Adams, says that under the "fortress- which the mole constructs above the surface of the~ ground will always he found a series. of tunnels running out beneath the adjacent ield. A curious feature al mnost invariably found Is a perpendic ular run penetrating about a foot be 3ow the bottom of' the nest and then turning upward to meet another run. A mole is never found in his nest. al though It may be yet warm from his body when opened. Guided by smne!! and hearing. a mole frequently locates the nest of a partridge or pheasant above his run and, penetrating it from below, eats the eggs. The aduit mole Is practically blind, but there are em bryonic Indications that the power of! ight in the race has deteriorated. An Arab Legend "There Is none so poor but there is one poorer." A poor Arab spent his last barn on a handful of dates and went up on a: high cliff to eat them and die. As he threw the stones over a lean hand shot out be~tow and caught them. "Ho!" salO he. "why do you catch: my date stonesr -Because. 0 brother." answered a weak voice. -1 have not eaten these three days. and Allah has sent these atones to save my life." "Praise be to Allah."' answered the~ first man. "for he has~ saved me also.! for here is one poorer than 1." And both men went Into the city. First Test of the Air Pump. The first public test of the air pump; was In 16514 by Its inventor. Otto von Guericke. In the presence of Emperor Ferdinand of Germany. Guericke ap pled the carefully ground edges of metallic hemispheres, two feet in dl amneter, to each other. After exhaust Ing the air by his apparatus he at tached fifteen horses to each hemi sphere. In vain did they attempt to separate them because of the enor mous pressure of the atmosphere. The experiment was a great success. Schoolboy Definitions. Here are some deninitions from the schoolroom: "A Jacobite is a man descended from Jacob." "-Snoring is: our breath meeting the air which is coming in our mouth."

SHADOW LEGENDS Zul'us Believe th- E ody Shade is the Futui e Spirit. TAKING AWAY ONE'S SHADOW. Why Some Races Are Forbidden to Look Ir.t a Dark Pool of Water. The Way Donald McK.y Mar.agedi to Escape the Clutches of the Devil.

It !as piayed a r I nent part in primitive supe.rstitin iz.ral in later fo:klore. Shadows (r r:::de was the class.cNli name er flure fo the spirits of the departed nhie till remains in use. Th!s idea is not cotnned to ':viii-3 races. Among the Zulusz the spirit is the shade. Liishop Cailaway, whos knowledge of Zulu beliefs ad rnOdes of thought wv.. unrivned. sar.. th:;t the Zulus coe the hedily shade with the future disembedied -piri. Theylieve that the Shadlow ,:"t by . the 1,oqy will ultimately beeo .e tie 'itougo." or spirit. when the bod: di. and they say that the long shadow i shortens "as a man approaches his end and contracts into a very; little thin.: When they see the shadow of a :nan thus contracting. they know he wi:* die. The long shado'w ocs away when a man is dead. and it is that which Is meant when it is said. 'The shadow has departed.' " There iz. how ever, a short shadow which remaris with the body and is buried with it. The long shadow becomes an ances tral spirit. Identification of the shadow in any mysterious or spiritual way with the person whose body casts it. nat.:rnly r leads to respect for the strange second C se'. To tread on the shadow of a hief is an insult to the chief himself. In the Institutes of Manu. the ancient Eindu law giver, the law runs: "Let him not intentionalty pass over the shadow of sacred images. of a natural or spiritual father. of a king. of a Brahmin who keep's house. or of any reverend personage. nor of one who has just performed a sacrifice." There are traces of the sur-ival of these primitive ways of regarding a man's shadow In the English country feeling that It is unlucky to cross the path o: a newly married man as he a leaves the altar; and in another rural belief that tr is unlucky to cross th'e path of horses ploughing when the sun s shining behind them. Association between shadows and mirrored representations of the human a form is obviously natural. so it is not surprising to find superstitions about it the shadow mingled with widely scat- ] tered versions of the Narclssus legend. The story of the beautiful youth who became enamored of his own image. as he saw It represented in the water. and languished thereafter till he died. e has its origin In the belief that trouble t follows from beholding the w.atery image.d "Let him not look at his own image. Inwater; that is a settled rule." com-, ands Manu. the mindu law giver. a1 The reason for the prohibition is to . e found in the beliefs of man In a primitive state of civilization. The kelanesazi of the Pacific. says a learned observer, say: "There Is a s~tream in Saddle island, or, rather, a. pool in a stream, Into which If any - ne looks he dies; the malignant spirit takes hold upon his life by means of his redlection In the water." Some such Idea as this was probably the* root of the Narcissus legend. The Zulus excplain why It is Ill to look Into the water of a pool by a story of a great beast in the water which can seize the shadow of a man and when his shadow is gone a man no. longer wishes to turn back. but de sires to enter the pool. lie goes In- < dies, and Is eaten by the great beast which inhabIts It. So. says Blizbor . Tallaway. -men are forbidden to Iea ver and lcok into a dark pool, it be ing feared that their shadow should be. aken away." There are other ways in whicha nan may lose his shadow. There was a temple of JupIter in Arcadia which. If entered by those who were for bidden to do so. robbed them of their shadows. in the north of Scotland there are - some qcuant legends of folk who lost , this usual attendant. In Sutherland they tell more th.an one story of - wizard named Donald-Duival McKay Donald went to a school In Italy where the black art was taught by thre devi. rho sat in the professor's chair. and at the end of each term claimed as his own the last scholar to depart. Break-. ing up at this academy was naturall a scramble, none wishing to be last. On one occasion Donald was real.y' the last. but just as the devil wars c about to seize him, the resourcefl Donald pointed to his own shadow whIch fell behind him, saying. "Take thou the hindmostt" According!3. is shadow was seized. w''hle he himsel. escapes, and --Zter his return to Sco land was never seen to have shadow!
