Idols and Temples, Mosques and Bathing
Ghats-Gods of the Heather.
At length | reach Benares, wheeling
down the luxuriant Gauges valley. OF
all the cities Of the east, Benares is per
haps the most interesting at the present
day TO the European tourist. Its l, 400
shiyalas, or idol temples, and $50 mosques;
its wonderful bathing CHATS, swarming
with pilgrims washing away their sins,
the burning bodies, the sacred Ganges.
the hideous idols AT every corner of the
streets and its strange idolatrous popula-
ton, make up scene that awakens one
to a keen appreciation Of its novelty. One
realizes fully that here the idolatry, the
lowing down before images that in our
Sunday school days used TO seem so unut-
terably wicked and peryerse, so monstrous
and 50 far, far away Is a tangible fact.
To keep up their outward appearance on
par with the holiness Of their city, men
streak their faces and women mark the
the parting in their hair with red. Sacred
bulls are allowed to roam the streets at
will and the chief business OF large pro-
portion Of the population seems TO be the
keeping Of religious observances and pay
ing devotion to the miIItitudinOus idols
scattered about the city.
Everywhere, in inches of the walls,
under trees, on pedestals at frequent cor
ners are idols, hideOusly ugly; red idols,
idols with silver faces and stone bodies,
some with mouths from ear TO ear, big
idols, little idols the worst omnium gath
erum imaginable Sati, nothing visible
but her curious face, beams over a black
Mother Hubbard sort of gown that con-
ceils whatever she may possess in the
way OF n body; Ja@addatri. the Mother Of
the World, with four arms seated on
mouths curiously made to supply quad
ripple faces: kamadeva, the handsome
little God of Love the Hindoo Cupid,
whom the cruel silva occe slew with
beam from his third eye-all these and
multtudinous others greet the curious
sightseer whichever way one turns. Han
uman, too, is not forgotten, the great
Monkey King who aided Rama in his ex
petition to Ceylon; outside the city proper
Is the monkey temple, where thousands of
the sacred anthropOids do congregate and
consider themselves at home.
Then there is the fakirs' temple the
most beautifully carved shivala in Ben
ares; here priests distribute handfuls of
soaked gram to all mendicants who pre-
sent themselves. The gram is supplied
by wealthy Iindoos, md both priests and
patrons consider it great sin to allow
religious mendicant to 90 away from the
temple empty handed. Thomas Stevens
in Outing.

Some German scientists, seeking to dis
cover the secret of the boomcrang's curl
ous flight, caused party of Australian
natives to give an exhibition of boom
erang throwing at Munster. The instru-
ments used were Of two sizes, the larger
being slender crescent about two feet
hong, two aud quarter inches wide and n
quarter of an inch thick, made of an ex-
traordinary heavy Australian iron wood.
This boomerang was jerked up into the
air about 100 yards, when it flew straight
away, then turned to the left and re-
turned in curved line back to the
thrower, whirlng around constantly and
whizzing unpleasantly. One badly di-
rected projectle fell through n spectators
hat with IA cut as clean as that of a razor
A Wemar manufacturer, who has made
some | GEO toy bOomerangs, believes that
the mystery of shape lies in the sharper
curvature in the middle, with unequal
length of the two arms, which must be
maize of equal weight by unequal thick
ness. The popularity o. motion is due to
the difference in the length of the arms.
