though countless statues have Deen nane
since then. many of which may be seen
TODAY in China. Thibet and other coun-
tries where Buddhism prevails, It is only
natural that extraordinary reverence
should attach to this jewelled statue,
which for centuries witnessed the obeis-
ances Of the faithful in the shrine at
Buddha-Gaya That it may be recovered

one believes Prince Uchtomskij says
that the archaeologists only expect TO
find fragments Of it, but that even such
a discovery would be Of immense in
terest The only conclusion at which
one can arrive Is that If only frag-
ments Of the statue are in the ruins
at Buddha-Gaya, some portions Of it
must have been removed from the shrine
ages ago.
Here. then, is one reason why the ruins
at Buddha-Gaya are now # Immediate
interest, but there is another and, in
the minds Of many people, a still greater
reason This is the announcement that
steps are now being taken to restore
ahe old temple and TO make It. as it was
centuries ago, 4 headquarters for the

and shrines Of the heather deities in
India have attracted much attention
from English travellers and scholars ana
IN many instances considerable sums Of
money have been spent for the purpose
Of restoring them
It may have been the impulse in this
direction which impeUed worshjppers of
BuGdha to undertake the restoration Of
his shrine at Buddha-Gaya though an
equally valid cause may be the fact that
Buddhism IS now attracting attention in
quarters that paid no heed to this form
of worship a quarter Of a century ago.
As Prince Uchtomskii aptly remarks, the
influence Of the theosophists throughout
the world must be taken into account
when considering the proposed restoration
Of Buddha-Gava Founded by the
famous Nine Blavatsky, the Theosophic-
al Society has today adherents in all
countries and, according TO Prince UGH
tomskit it is this society which has
suprred on the influential Buddhists OF
the East to undertake the restoration Of
the old temple at Buddha-Gaya.

sealed. and, strange TO say, they lie out
of doors often for months, awaiting the
time when the families Of the deceased
can afford an elaborate burial.
Chinese funerals and burial customs
are in many cases similar throughout
the Empire No oder escapes from the
collins for they are tightly sealed with
mortar or some other substance, and

While all Of these queer collins are
shaped like logs, there IS great dif-
ference in quality. One can be purchased
for so. while another may cost $1,000
Some are beautifully carved, and made
of expensive wood. All are vanished.
4 Chinaman often makes one CT these
aueerly constructed collins for himself
during his lifetime, anticipating how nice
it will look after he is gone.
In some sections incense is burned
over one Of these collins as long as it
remains above ground. These rites are
performed usually by the elder son Of the
family especially If the deceased is INC
father. Sometimes this older son goes
about raising funds with which to hold
a notable funeral celebration. The
Chinese as a rule contribute literally
on such occasions. On the older son
also devolves the duty Of washing the
corpse Just prior to placing it in the
coffin. Then. assisted by his brothers,

LIFE SAVED BY AMMONIA.
Prosidentiai Escape of m EngIssf
 Soldier from Tigers Jaws.

From the Philadelphia Record. Pretty fierce brutes, eh2. remarked a soldierly- man who was one of little group watching the three hig tigers at the zoo restlessl5 pacing their dens in anticipation of fee6ing-time. Yes" agreed the person addressed. T don't think I'd care about meeting one at large" No, it wouldn't be pleasant experience, but yet I've had it. and that I'm able to tell the story Is due to nothing more nor less than a bottle Of ammonia. Fact! It hap pened years ago in India. I was at taehed to troop of Punjab light horse, on police duty about Chawald. and my little experiment. was the re- suit of a days leave of absence. With several companions I was on my way to visit some native friends in neigh boring village, and as the jungle paths were the shortest route, we made the trip in chairs slung on carriers sheHl- ders. I was about aalf asleep from the swinging motion, when I was rudely pitched out by the natives dropping the poles and scampering off. That's how I met my tiger. With bound he was on me and had taken mouthful of my coat intending. no doubt, to carry me into the dense undergrowth. Fortunately for me, I had big bottle of ammonia in my coat pocket-ear- ried it for snake bites, you know-and when the brute took the mouthful he broke the bottle. The whiff he got made his whiskers curl, and one was enough. He rolled over couple of times gasping and waving 1kis paws, and then made off as quickly as te had appeared. Hurt? No; only a few bruises from the fall, but the close shave took my nerve for some menths.'s

The GhiIian coal mines, opened in 1855, seem to be nice places to work in. The seam of coal runs from the shore under the waters of the Pacific ocean, and the tunnels are SO clean that you could walk through them in dress suit without making yourself dirty. They are lighted by electricity, and you can have ride for mile under the ocean on an electric car at a speed of twenty miles an hour. The mines form quite catacomb of well=lighted passages under the water. The out put of coal is now 1000 tons a day, and 75o miners are employed in them.

The Longest Swim.

Gclng with the tide in the Thames river Capt Matthew Webb once swan distance of forty miles in nine hours and fffty-seyen minutes. Montague A. Holbein, an English '1ong-distanee cy- elist," recently swan three miles farther, although he made no such time record Taking the water at BlackWall pier in the early morning, says the London Chronicle, Holbein went down the river on strong ebb, which ran until he had progressed two miles beyond Grayesend. Turning then with the tide, he came back on the flood to Blackwall. He failed to reach the pier by a mile, owing to the tide fail- ing him, and he left the water quite fresh and strong, willing, had his friends so advised, to turn again and complete fifty miles, The distance he had thus covered forty-three miles. which he swam in twelve hours, twen- ty-seven minutes, forty-two and three- fo6rths seeonds-is the greatest ever known to have been covered by swimmer, although 1t has been as- sumed that Matthew Webb, when he crossed the channel, must have been borne almost as far by the changing tides.. Holbein swims with slow but powerful stroke. half-side, half-back; ne progresses at an even pace and never seems to tire. He has done some marvellous feats on the bicycle, and was at one time an excellent cross-country runner and distance walker, but this swim is certainly to be reckoned as his uast rem arkable achievement i'll the matter of endurance.
