the spot was once the crater of a vol

HUNTING FOR TALIsMANs.
An AmericaufS Odd Expedition to an
East Indian Temple.

When the lafe Professor Sommerville
of the University of Pennsylvania. the
learned collector of gems, charms and
mascots, had set his mind on some
curio heard of in one of his meetings
with orientals. nothing could bar the
way. Were il in the center of the
desert of Sahara or on the tOpmost
pinnacle of the Himalaya mountains,
he would go after it and keep up the
search until the treasure was found,
purchased and placed on exhibition at
the university museum.
American gold was Professor SOM
merville's magnet wherever he went.
He thus described its effect on one of
his expeditions:
ION one occasion we desired to visit
the famous Dilwarra temples in India,
and for that purpose engaged two jim
rikishas and a number of natives to
draw them, about twelve in all. The
temples,,a s you know. are set in mag
nificent grove of mango trees on a
mountain top and surrounded by great
hills. With n fair measure of tact and
money hoped to secure from the peo-
pie Of the vicinity some of their odd
taIismanS and rings. 1 said TO the
chief rickshaw man: Now, Lala, what
will you do for me If I double your
pay? 1 want to make this journey in
half time, and if you accomplish it you
shall be doubly paid
HE went to his helpers at once and
informed them that 1 was a prince.
We started out under the contract. he
ran ahead of the convoy, raising both
hands in the air and crying TO the as
founded people: Here comes n prince.
Down with you. Here comes n prince
And during the entire twelve miles
ride 1 was treated to the un-American
experience of seeing the people cover
their faces and drop abjectly TO the
ground In obeisance and salutatiOn, on
~ daring to look atme through their part
ed fingers. But my amusement at thus
being treated as prince was nothing
to the qualification experienced in Sc
curing from this people-whO did not
dare to refuse so august a parsonage
as I-some of the most interesting in
scribed talismans that 1 have in my
collection. "-BoOklovers' Magazine.
