Ono of the at rankest “ wishing charms” in the world, writes s cor respondent in the Ixindoc Morning Post, is situated near Batavia, in Java. The revived patronage of Scottish wishing walls can scarcely provide such a sight as may be seen aay day barely a stone’s throw from tha town. Interest there is centered upon an ancient cannon, half imbedded in tha earth, to which comes a multi- colored 'procession of Javanese, Malays and other orientals, bring ing gifts of painted lanterns. Each visitor circles three times rounjj the cmnnon, places his lantern beside it and ailently makes his wish. The solemnity of the rite is enhanced by a belief that the cannon is one of a pair, of which one has been lost, and that, if ever the two are brought together again, the whole course of the country’s future will bo altered.

Among these four is Fort McHenry, which bears the name of an early secretary of war, James McHenry, who had been secretary to General Washing ton. It had its beginning as a forti fied area in 1776. It was then that construction of the first fortifica tion, a water battery, was started. Later, in 1794, it was developed in to an inclosed, bastioned fort.
