Either Handel vas ~ q silent mood
or else the blacksmith showed no con

away at his anvil, accompanying bis
work with song. He little thought
the use his visitor was making of him
and his anvil, for It Is said that Han

strokes OF the hammering on the anvil,
which. By producing two harmonic
sounds, according in timo and tune
with the tune the man sang, formed

reaching home, remembered the air
and the hammer accompaniment. He
wrote down both. and so we owe to

ODD MOON BELIEFS.
The Orb of Might ms Food For the
Immortal Gods.


The Orb of NiEht ms Food For ths
Immortal Gods.
/ Certain II is that belief In the moon
as the abode of the fathers was widely
spread among the people speaking the
Aryan languages. To tie present day
the peasants In Swabia are heard to
say, May go 10 the moon II did IT,
instead Of May die If did it," Nay,
people who work on the Sabbath day
are threatening even now that they
will go TO the mOon-that Is. that they
will die and be punished in tie moon.
A more startling idea--pecuiar. 1t
would seem, to lndi.l-was that of the
moon serving rs tie food OF the gods.
And yet. though 1t sounds strange to
us. 1t was not so very unnatural an
idea utter all. The gods. though invisl-
BILE. had been located In the sky. In
the same sky the golden moon, often
compared to II round Of golden butter
was seen regularly to decrease And
II 1t were being consumed by anybody
by whom could II be consumed II not
by the gods? Hence the ready conclu-
sion that 1t was so and that it was. In
fact. this food which secured to the
gods their immortal life.
If so much had once been granted.
then came the question. How was the
moon gradually increased and restored
to It's fullness? And here the old SUI
perstition came In that the souls OF the
departed entered the moon. so that the !
waxing Of the moon might readily be |
accounted for by this more ancient ar I
ticle of faith. Hence the systematiZed |
belief that the moon wanes while it Is
being eaten by the gods and that 1t

NEW ZEALAND GEYSERS.

Yellowstone park is rcputed TO lave
the most magnificent geysers in the
world, but their reputation is based
upon the statements of travellers who
have never been to Kew Zealand and
who know nothing Of Its natural won

Leaving Auckland by q fast express
train. a journey Of eight hours brings
one to ROtorua. where may be seen the
most splendid geyser which Is proba-
bly, to be found anywhere in the world.
TO give one some idea of the magnl-
tude OF the geyser | need mention only
the height Of some Of the surround.
Ing objects. Over the Inferno crater"
which contains seething lake Of wa
ter, Is small shelter shed 450 feet
above the plain. The surface Of the
water in the geyser basin when at
rest is about forty feet below this
plain. The height of the eruption
must often be about 800 feet. This
Is by no means exceptional. Higher

feet. Some months ago the area of
the basin was measured in small
boat by a Mr.. Buckerldge and guide.
They found that the area Is about two

be Inferred that this gcyscr may we'll
be called the lar:,est in tie world.
The geyscr plays about twenty-five
times each month. Is very erratic and
gives no warning when it Is about to

the basin Is somewhat Ike a funnel
and that when the water and stones
are elected the larger stones return
and jam in the neck, thereby choking
the outlet. so that an enormous pres
