Common Superstition Among Engineers
About Colisions.
OF the superstition OF sailors, fisher
folk aud others we have all heard, but
that such n distinguished characters
tic should have attached itself TO rail-
way men would not appear to be gem
orally known. IL savors somewhat OF
the anomalous that such preemi-
ncntly practical class OF meu should he
the victims Of crednlity regarding the
supernatural. Such, however, 10 the
case, says writer In the London It'd
Bits.
recently had occasion to interview
n prominent railway official, and In the
course of the conversation that ensued
that gentleman intellectually alluded 10
two collisions which had lately oc-
CURED In the neghborhood, following
up his remarks with the announcement
that the local men would be In state
of subdued excitement and "nuiry"
till third niishap took place. Such Is
the superstition OF the railway man.
Upon expressing considerable astonish-
ment was assured that this kind of
thing was notorious among railway
men in general. and in this particular
instance, IL was known that the cir
cumstaDces of the two previous acct
dents were the chief topics among the
worknien In all departments, who were
also counting on tho possibilities of n
third disaster. Curiously enough
touch of realism was lent to the infor-
nation just impaired by the cxplana-
ton that the second of the two COLI
sions referred To was due 10 the driver
Of one OF the cnRincs-a reliable scrv-
| ant, noted for his alcrtness and preci-
sion, with an honorable record with
some forty years scrvice--who being,
IL was believed, go disturbed over the
"omens" OF the first occurrence and 30
engrossed with what he felt would DO
two other catastrophes that he com
mittcd the slight error of Judgment
which caused his locomotive TO crash
into another coming in an opposite d.
rection. The statement In given as tho
conviction of one who spent upward Of
quarter OF n century among railway
men OF all classes, and who has known
the driver alluded to for long period
of years. So came about second coll
lision. Surely superstition could 20 no
further than this. But here Is n tragic
sequel-a sequel which, unfortunately,
will, in all probability, do much 10
strengthen the reprehcnsiblc beliefs
of these men. Two days after the in
teryiew above mentioned, within If
teen minutes drive from the scene OF
the second collision, an express mail
failed to take the points, portion OF
the train with the tender Of the engine
was violently thrown across the rails
and one stokcr killed. This is what
the railway men will term their third
mishap." There's the third" they
say, and now perhaps they will breathe
freely for a season.

RAIN ~ JAPAN.
How the Natives Try to bring the SHOW
crs Down

How the Natives Try to bring the SHOW
crs Down
During the summer season in Japan
thoughts are very frequent, aud the
rice fields, before SO beautiful, pre-
scnting as they do all the different
shades Of green imaginable, gradually
lose their brilliancy of color, turn yell
low and parchcd, and threaten the
total destruction OF the crop. Not
only does the rice suffer, but tho wells
dry up and necessitato the carrying of
water from long distances SO q
drought in Japan is, indeed, q great
calamity.
After waiting and hoping In vain for
n downfall OF rain, the people turn en-
masse to evoke the power OF their del
ties to send them the saving showers.
A procession Is formed OF perhaps two
hundred men, all nearly naked, who,
carrying straw emblems representing
the sun with the rain pouring from IL,
and with long streamers having
prayers written on them flying In the
wind, proceed to the nearest river or
bay, where the whole company wade
into the water until they are waist
deep, and, surrounding the omblems,
pray aloud and throw water on the
images with both hands.
After doing this several times, save
the New York Journal, the proce ssiop
is reformed, whom 1t proceeds TO the
temple to pray again. This ceremony
is repeated several times, and should
the rain come in abundance prayers
are offered In Thanksgiving; should II
be only "a shower they blame them
selves for not having prayed fervently
enough, and continue their devotions
until downpour takes place.

in France. Another book in whicl
the text is neither write n nor printed
but woven, has lately been publishes

made of silk, and was published il
twenty-five parts at ten francs each
Each part consists OF two leaves, f.
