PRAYING BICYCLES.
Japanese Attach Prayer Wheels to the
Hubs of Their Machines.

Japanese Attach Prayer Wheels to the
Hubs of Their Machines.
The bicycle is now employed to aid
the pious Buddhist in praying with
greater ease, but yet, us he hopes, with
great effect. 1t is from the ingenious
and cntcrprising country of Japan that
this new departure is reported.
The Buddhist has always dono his
praying with the assistance of wheel.
The prayers are placed inside the wheel,
which turns round, following the di-
rection of tho sun. and delivers up to
heaven the prayers of the owner, or of
all whose thoughts are fixed upon it.
Some enormous wheels are capable of
praying for thousands of people. This
mode of worship may seem somewhat
irresponsible to western people, but the
Buddhist, who is subtle reasoner,
would be able to explain why it is sat
isfactory.
In various parts of the vast territory
i'll which the Buddhist faith is held
different motive powers are used in
these prayer wheels. Some humble per
sons turn the wheel by hand, but not
if they can help it. On the hills of
Tibet, great stronghold of pure
Buddhism, the wheels arc usually so
built that the wind turns them In 9th
or places they are moved by water pow
en-
But it is obvious that wind must fail
occasionally and that this may happen
when the Buddhist is particularly in
need of copious prayer. Water power,
too, is often lacking.
So the ingenious Jap now attaches a
small prayer wheel to the hub of his
bicycle, and when he takes a ride he
combines worship with recreation. BY
giving glance mt his pedometer he can
tell just how much praying he has done
He can also keep an accurate daily rec
ord, which will enable him to tell after
Il number CT years just how much pray
CT stands to his credit. In this way
Buddhism seems to have given n zest
To bicycling which no other religion
can supply. New York Journal.
