A sleepyvaiking Feat.

From the Denver RepuDllcan.
William Newton ireland, who with his
mother Is visiting his uncle, William Ire
land, treasurer of the Broadway Theater,
at No. 1861 Humboldt street, was not kid
naped on Saturday night. The boy re-
turned to his home early yesterday morn
ing safe and sound and IN no way injured
by his thrilling experience. His mother
spent an anxious night wondering where
her son had Disappeared, and the police
were asked to look him up The only one
who was not worried was the young man
himself, and he was sound asleep while
every one else was worrying.
William had been left in the house while
his mother and her friends visited the
Elks' fair. When they returned the boy
was not to be found. Part Of his clothing
lay beside his bed. and 1t was evident that
were notified and the neighborhood was
secured for any trace OF the missing bow
but he could not be found.
In the meantime young Ireland was
sound asleep in the home OF DR.. J. N,
Thomas, who lives across the street from
the Ireland home. The doctor had gone to
the door earlier in the evening and had
found the boy on the doorstep, sound
asleep. He did not know the boy, and,
fearing to awaken him too suddenly. had
disturbed. William was only partly Dress
ed. and it was evident that he had started
on somnambulistic trip Of exploration.
When the boy returned home yesterday
morning he was unable to give any account
of his strange adventures. as he remem-
bed and in strange house. He was not
frightened by his experience, but seemed
to enjoy it. This is the first time that he
has been known 70 walk in his sleep.

MAGIC MIRRORS OF JAPAN.
How the Ancient Buddhist Priests
Preyed Upon the Susceptible.
From the Open Court.

From the Open Court.
Some time ago I read in the Weekly
Times of Tokyo, Japan, about an old steel
mirror that, when held to strong light,
was said to reflect the image of Buddha-
This was attributed by the editor to super
stition, If 1 am not mistaken. This past
week an old steel Japanese mirror has
come into my possession, which, when held
to a strong light, distinctly reflects the i'm
age of child Buddha, full length with
arms extended upward over the head.
There is no mistakng this. for L am
neither sentimental nor superstitious. This,
/ think, has been produced by some old
time Japanese artist L think that steel
has been inlaid into steel after the manner
of damascene work. then the whole tace OF
the mirror polished The grain of the
damascene work, being different from tine
body of the steel mirror, reflects the figure
as inlaid, while the mirror shows only
clear polished steel surface. The object
Of this is quite clear to me. When such
mirror was shown to the people II would be
to them a mystery, and could be palmed
off as a mira cle." and would draw them
closer to Buddhism. OF course, there Is no
such thing as miracle" To him who
has attained Buddhahood all things are
clear. What ignorant people do not under
stand designing men palm of as miracle
and draw people closer to their form OF
belief"
Since writing the above 1 have consulted
s. Nomura, from whom L got the mirror.
Mr.. Nomura Is president of Benten 4 Co.
of Kyoto, and informs me that he secured
six mirrors In exchange for embroideries
from the priest priests OF one Of the
temples in Kyoto. They were very old and
very dirty The priests in charge knew
nothing of these mirrors except that they
were old mirrors brought to the temple
before their time. hir. Nomura supposed
them to be old common steel mirrors, and
gave them to one of his servants to polish
with white powder and silk cloth. AS he
polished each one he laid it on the floor
face up. When the sun struck the mirror
the man noticed in the reflection on the
ceiling the form of a child Buddha, and
that was how the discovery was made. /

and have tested each one and found that
each reflects a child Buddha, but not al
