Praying BICYCLES.

To so great an extent have the Japanese
adopted European methods and models that
an enterprising Buddhist has adapted the
bicycle 10 serve the needs of the praying
wheel as used by the followers Of his creed.
Instead of attaching the written prayer to
the customary wheel which is generally
turned by convenient stream of running
water the new vogue is 10 fix the prayer to
the hub Of the bicycle wheel, so that the
faster the rider can pedal the better he can
pray Although there appears TO be a spice
of sacrilege in the practice, it is apparently
catching on, for rumor has it that Amer N
firms are already preparing machines h
Buddhist collects embossed on the tires, SO
that the bicycle will become an instrument
of pleasure and prayer book combined.-St.

knows you don't like to see him, and as soon
