At the feast of Bel- Hlmznar, which he gave In tho seventeenth year of his reign, A.

A ball Is placed upon the ltourd or (Tinue— It Is* blnck nnd nlioul the slxc of an ordinary cricket hall. It Is then commanded to write the word, "Menetekel," or whatever other word Is desired, either by the lecturer* or the members o£ the audience. In order to prove thai there Is nobody concealed, and ihnt there Is tin absence of mechanical In- fluence. Hie hourd is made to swing. Partner. so that there may be no collusion between either the lecturers nnd Ihe hall, nod also the audience. .Mr. Kouorah leaves the singe nnd asks somebody or anybody In the audl- uni-e to mention to htm. In an undertone, either the Initial of n word—the remainder of the word to be completed by some person In nnv other part of the house—or any full ward 'required. Ah noon as the word Is pro- nounced Hie lady lecturer orders the bnll to write, which It does. Afler havlm* written two words Ihe sheet of white pnper Is lorn from the bonrd, disclosing a clean sheet.
