inch of rain on a square mile of land
equals more than l4,478, 433 gallons, or
over 81, 6S5 tons, 100 tons per acre being

only about thirty-five inches, at Seattle

INDIAN FIRE WALKERS.
The Practice still Exists In Parts Of
the East.

The Practice stiIl Exists In Parts of
the East.
1t may interest students Of folklore to
learn that there was fire walking cere-
mony at Benares the other day which has
given rise to good deal of discussion In
The Indian Press. There seems to be no
doubt as to the honesty and success Of the
performance, but, as correspondent
points out, fire walking Is much more
commonly practicsd than Is supposed. He
himself witnessed. three ceremonies of the
kind between 1888 and 1886 in Mauritius,
where he believes they are Of annual occur
renee. The performers were natives from
Madras. The method was exactly as de-
scribed by Mr.. Lang.
According to this eyewitness, a priest
led off, working himself into state of
frenzy and then walking distance Of
about 40 feet over live embers, but I'm
such manner that neither foot was long
in contact with Them" Several others
on one occasion two little boys-followed
tho priests example and were afterward
logged to drive away sins that had not
succumbed to the fire walking-which
seems hard. No amount Of fogging did
the priest any good. He had to be dipped
In the sea to bring him to his senses.
The correspondent holds by the natural
explanation of the phenomenon. He
carefully examined the men s feet and says
that they were not burned, but were as
hard as iron owing to lifelong exposure
without boots" That is all very well,
but tho hardest feet would surely be affect
ed at the end of some 10 steps over floor
of fire. And the fire walkers don't hurry.
