Burma Customs. y.

Two ceremonies in Burma mark when
childhood stops and manhood or wom-
anhood begins. The boys have their
thighs tattooed and the girls their ears
bored. The boring of girls ears is
commenced with n needle, and the
puncture is gradually increased until
the tip OF the finger can be introduced.
The cnlarging process is the one car
ried out in the Polynesian islands,
where native can carry good sized
knife hanging In the lobe of his ear,

cheek and puts bone stud into it. The
Burmese boy suffers great pain from
the elaborate ornamentation of his legs.

Organ Grinders In England.

BY turning the handle Of an organ
the italian in England obtains nearly
eight times rs much per week as he
can earn in Italy. more than four times
as much as the English farm laborer
and nearly three times the pay Of the
policeman who moves him on when
requested. Thousands of skilled ar
tisans who have served apprenticeship

only half the organ grinders pay. for
the Italian reckons IL Il very poor week

ARNISH ROCK.
4 Lighthouse which Is without .
Light of Its own.


The most extraordinary Of all light
houses Is to be found on Arnish rock,
Stornoway bay, a rock which Is sepa-
rated from the island Of Lewis by a
channel over 800 feet wide. 1t is In the
Hebrldes, Scotland. On this rock a
conical beacon is erected, and on its
summit q lantern is fixed, from which,
night after night, shines light which
Is seen by the fishermen far and wide.
Yet there is no burning lamp IN the
lantern, and no attendant ever goes TO
il, for the simple reason that there is
no lamp TO attend TO, no wick to train
and no oil we'll 10 replenish.
The way in which this peculiar light
house is illuminated is this: "On the
is a lighthouse, and from a window in
the tower a stream Of light is project
ed on q mirror in the lantern on the
summit Of Arnish rock. These rays
are reflected to an arrangement OF
prlsms and by their action are con-
verged to a focus outside the lantern,
from which they diverge In the neces-
sary direction"
The consequence is that to all intents
and purposes lighthouse exists which
has neither lamp nor lighthouse keeper
and yet which gives as seryiceable n
light, taking into account the require
ments Of the locality, as If an elaborate
and costly lighthouse, with lamps, serv-
leo room, bedroom, living room, store
room, oil room, water tanks and all
other accessories, were erected on the
summit OF the rock.

THE ISLAND OF FIRE.
Java's Wonderful Lake of Boiling
Mud and Slime.

The greatest natural wonder in Java,
il not in the entire world, is the justly
celebrated Gheko Kamdka Gumko, ~
Home of the Hot Devils, known to the
world as the Island of Fire. This geo
logical singularity is really lake OF
boiling mud situated at about the cen
ter Of the plains of Grobogana and IS
called an island because the great en-
erald sea of vegetation which surrounds
ii gives 1t that appearance. The island
Is about two miles in circumference
and is situated at distance Of almost
exactly fifty miles from Solo. Near the
center Of this geological freak immense
columns Of soft hot mud may be seen
continually rising and falling like great
timbers thrust through the boiling sub
stratum by giant hands and then again
quickly withdrawn. Besides the phe-
nomenon Of boiling mud columns there
are scores of gigantic bubbles Of hot
slime that ill up like huge balloons and
keep up series Of constant explosions,
the intensity OF the detonations vary
ing with the size OF the bubble. In
times past, so the Javanese authorities
say, there was Il tall, spirelike column
Of baked mud on the west side of the
lake which constantly Delched n pure
stream Of cold water but this has long
been oblterated, and everything Is now
n seething mass Of bubblng mud and
slime, a marvel to the visitors who
come from great distances to see it,

VIC. Mcdonald Who Fought With Com
federate Army Meets Old Foes
When the veterans of the war Of the
rebellion left Kenosha Monday for
Minneapolis to attend the national en-
csmPment Of the Grand Army there
was one man who took an active part
the struggle who did not accompany
them. He was w. c. Mcdonald, who
recently came to Kenosha from SIT.
Louis to make his home. For four
years Mcdonald carried amusket as a
member of the confederate army hut
he is now thoroughly reconstructed
and is in hearty sympathy with the
government. Mr.. Mcdonald only
recently made himself known to the
old soldiers and since that time it has
been discovered that he fought in
many battles in which kenosha
soldiers took part. He was at Vicks-
burg, at Holley Springs and Fit. Pillow
and the members of the 33rd who took
part in these battles have welcomed
the ex-confederate as brother.
Several pleasant hours have been
spent by the soldiers Of the blue and
the gray in recalling the stirring
events Of the war.

ENDS IN SLAUGHTER
kenoslha Smashes the Record Of
the Undefeated Kankakee Team
On Sunday Afternoon
BIGGEST SCORE OF THE YEAR

TfIe Kenosha baseball team put a
big feather in its cap on Sunday
afternoon when it met and walloped
the champion Kankakee Browns to
the tune Of 13 to 4. The undefeated
Illinois team, which is the only semi
PROFESSIONAL club il the country that
had defeated the Chicago leaders Of
the Nss4sonai league, came to Kenosha
to wipe npaythe earth with the local
team, but the visitors left for home
at night with the worst case of the
dumps eyergiven a baseball team in
Kenosha. The score was 10 to in
favor of the home team, and this
gives some indication of the terrific
onslaught made by the local players
against the visitors.
/ Foley, who had pitched himself to
fame by giving the National leaguers
only six hits, was Inundated to such
an extent that after the.Kenosha boys
had secured fourteen hits off him
in seven innings he retired to make
place for another player.
sE For time during the opening in
nings of the game it looked.sas if the
Ksnosha team had at last struck the
real thing and that defeat would be
seen on the score board. Awed by
the reputation Of the sKankakee team
Pitcher Pulse of the .Kenosha team
was decidedly nervous and his nerv-
business was communicated TO the
Other members COT the club. Before
they recovered from their stage
frightsKankakee had landed four men
over the rubber, and it looked like
a shutont for the Kenosha boys. But
it was about this time that the home
boys got busy and in the fourth inning
theysolved the delivery Of Foley and
with one feil..swoop they tied the
score and brought back their nerve.
Pulse, who had seemingly lost the
game in thesearly innings, more than
made up for his errors1sby knocking
the bali out ofHtheIsdiamond for four
safe ones and the other members fol-
lowed suit. Long about the sixth
inning the Kankakee players were
put to rout and Kenosha brought in
three more runs, another was added
in the seventh when Pitcher Foley
retired. and IN the eighth there was
la batting bee for the Kenosha team
which resulted Ii. five runs being
added to the score. After the third
inning Pulse was invincible and the
Kankakee team was never in danger
of winning'the game. The score of
the game follows: ss sa
