1t says the bodies Of twenty-eight persons

are known to be missing.
1t is probable that many other persons of
the poorer classes, who are missing, have not
been reported; so the loss of life is not accu-

fear and terror, and most of them take
some steps to aid the sun or moon, as

Taoist priests, and an incense vase and q
pair of large candle-sticks, containing
red candles fol luck, are placed on a
table in the hua-ting, or audience hal,
but sometimes in the court In front of it.
When the eclipse is beginning, the red
candles are lighted, and the official en-.
ters dressed in his robes of state. He
takes some lighted incense sticks, IL
both hands, and bows low in front of the
table, waving the incense about, accord
ing to custom, before placing it in the
vase. He next proceeds to perform the
ceremony of "kotou" " Qiterally knock

He then gets up, and huge gongs and
drums are beaten to frighten the devour,

march round the table in solemn process
