narInr the Feet ut worshlp.

In India Hindus and Mussulman,
alike wear both sandals and shoes
(slippers), and the latter boots also.
The sandal Cthe word is Persian) was
evidently tho original covering for the
feet all over southern and eastern
Asia, while the shoe was probably in
troduced into India by the Persians
and Mo(n)gols, together with the tin
tilted (Hittite and Etruscan) boot.
Both are usually made in India of
leather, but never of pigskin; and
while the shoes are always colored red
or yellow, the boots are generally
brightly parti-colored; both. among
the upper classes, being also richly
embroidered in gold and silver and
variegated silk thread. and with ban
giles, bugles and seed pearls, after the
II OF the ancient Persian boots
represented on Greek vases. But. OF
however rare and costly elaboration.
the inevitable rule is to remove them
after entering a private house, Just
when stepping on the mat or carpet
on which the visitor takes his seat.
They must be cast off-the right boot
or shoe frst-before the worshiper
enters a temple or mosque, and 1t is still
regarded as an absolute PROCLAMATION
to attempt to enter either fully shod.
But the domestic habit arose out OF its
obvious propriety, and the religious
ritual OF the Shoes of the Faithful"
now and for centuries past observed
throughout Islam, can be demonstrate
ed to have been dictated by, IL indeed
1t be not derived directly from. the
universal social etiquette of the East.

When she raised her face again to his,

you did-didn't you-Nina?"
His eyes were fixed upon her with a

said, quite low. And the man smiled
and closed his eyes.
Then 1t was that the tail young man
came softly into the cabin and saw
the woman weeping beside the still,
white face Of the dead.
He spoke her name and a CLEAN OF
JOY came iHoo his eyes. but she held
up a hand and he paused, wonderlngly.
For a moment she gazed sadly upon
the face OF the dead. then reverently
she covered 1t with a sheet, and
walked softly out into the sunshine

A NEW FIELD IN SCIENCE.
brainy Mems Claim to New Process OF
Cheap Gold Nanufncture

The possibility of making gold out
Of cheap substances is being extern
slvely discussed by scientists in Paris.
The topic would have been discussed
a Few years ago as a crazy revival
or medieval alchemy, but since the
renowned chemist Berthelot's discov-
cries and remarkable assertion that
gold Is probably a compound substance
instead of being a simple metal. an
important school of chemists has pre-
dicted that gold will be manufactured
as cheaply as butter some day.
Meanwhile the French Society OF Mod
ern Alchemy claims that three of its
members-Jollivet, De Lussus and
Height, all chemists of reputation
have just completed a successful syn
thesis Of gold. About half an ounce
was produced and II took six months
to do 1t. Prof. Berthelot is unwilling
to give an opinion about 1t without
knowing the details of the process and
examining the product obtained. but
he says: Until now chemistry has
been a study of only immediate reac-
lions, yet slow reactions-by which |
mean those taking from a month to
two or three years-are suspected. and
this will open quite a new field in
science. Possibly metals might be de-
composed into several elements. If
they can be so treated, they likewise
can be recombined." Camille Flam-
marion, to whom was given an oppor-
tunity to examine the artificial gold.
says; ut presents all the outward
characteristics of gold. | shall never

cry Empire made mighty efforts to
forestall the CLEAN of intelligence that
threatened the overthrow of religious
influence. It is said that no greater
catastrophe ever threatened China
than this simple question of why is
II, the lifeless gods and idols have
such power aud yet cannot speak,"
To meet the exigencies of the occa-
sion all the wise men were enjoined
to provide adequate means to preserve
subservient superstition.
An old scientist named Wa Sin Kee,
solved the problem and was hand
somely rewarded, after which he was
invited to the royal city and lone to
death for fear that he might prove
equally ingenious in promoting self
interest to the detriment of the EN-
peror. Wa Sin Kce was a profound
scholar. and the study OF wind and its
effect on this terrestrial globe was one
OF his hobbies. He had reasoned that
the most terrifcally powerful force
known was when the wind coming
from opposite directions would meet.
For years he had prayed to all the
gods In his category for a material
demonstration of this force, but with
out result. 1t is a well known fact
that the human anatomy of the era
mum cannot withstand two currents
of wind coming from opposite dlrec-
tons and blowing in the ears. in fact
1t is a scientific certainty that many
persons of unsound mind can have
their afliction traced to having worked
in establishments where electric fans
forced a draft of air in both ears at
once. This plan was Wa Sin KEGS,
whose diabollcal scheme was to fur
nish living gods who could speak, but
absolutely without intelligence, ex-
cept on the subject of the Emperor's
greatness. The subjects we're selected
from culprits condemned to death and
after being horribly disfgured to pre-
vent r~ecognit'cu they were subjected
to the mlnd-wrecking influence Of the
apparatus illustrated above. The VIC
tim was dashed TO a cross, on top of
which was a wind wheel which a
guard kept continually in the face of
the wind. This large wheel was
geared to turn two smaller ones on
both sides OF the victims head close
to his ears. It is said that ten days
was sufficient to produce not only
idiocy but a marvelously horrible dis
tortion of the limbs and features. An
other attendant repeated over and
over again certain words until the
poor creature became a human parrot.
The recent massacre Of Christians
in China certainly attest the satisfac-
character of Wa Sin KEGS gods.
