Elias Ashmole prints in the "Theatrum Chemicum Bri- 

 tannicum" (London, 1652) the "scheame of nativity" of

 sophus Dubius" to escape the hard fate decreed him by the 

 stars because of the " Dragon's Tayle" in the Ascendant. 



KELLEY'S HOROSCOPE.

 Hradschin, his entire property was confiscated, and the

 affecting lines which lose their charm if translated :

 Und gab da vor ein grosses Werk, 

 Tingirt in lauter Gold ganz hoch.
