BASQUE Funeral Customs.

Among the Basques funeral festivi-
ties were kept up not only after the
funeral, but also for eight days more,
and on New Years day, when they
were repeated. In their case this was
a purely religious ceremonial obsery-
ance, even IL it originated in pagan
days. For religion has entered into
and still pervades the funeral rites of
the Basques to a degree now hardly
conceivable. The deceased who was the
head Of the family, probably belonging
to the third religious order, was usual
ly buried In the appropriate dress OF
the order. The funeral was presided
over by the serore, who was a sort of
nun. This probably, as O'Shea says,
came down from the time when wom-
en- held high ecclesiastical positions
among the Basques.
The very feasts were relics Of days
when an offering of meat, bread and
wine was wont to be taken into the
church or churchyard not only at the
funeral, hut every day for two years
afterward, for the supposed benefit of
the deceased, but really for that Of the
clergy.
Up to 1766 in Guipuzcoa on the oc-
casion of a funeral an OK was taken
to the church door and then killed and
subsequently eaten, survival, of
course, Of pagan sacrifices In primitive
times. In whatever way the habit of
taking the deceased to the church on an
open bier arose, there can be no ques-
ton that the fire lighted at the nearest
crossroads and the obligatory pater q

PecuIiaritfes of 4 Rays.

There are many curious things about
x rays which seem to puzzle even the
scientists. Signor Briguiti, who has
been making experiments with them at
Rome, says that the visibility Of sub
stance to the eye is no criterion of Its
visibility to the x rays. The rays can
not see through glass, which is trans
parent to the eye, whereas aluminium.
which Is Opaque to the eye, is transpar-
snt to the x rays. The rays can see a
splinter Of glass in the hand, but not a
splinter Of wood. Most inks are trans
parent to the rays, including printer
fink, but some Of them are Opaque. The
rays can see through postofice direct.
