Some of the ancient superstitions are
very pleasing and in the highest degree
poetic. There is superstitious belief
prevalent in the east that eclipses of the
moon are caused by a demon who, out of
the malice of his nature, aff1icts the queen
of the stars. And on these occasions the
inhabitants leave their dwellings, and by
pounding upon pans and pots, and shout
ing and discharging firearms, endeavor to
brighten the monster away from his work
of destruction.
