Hindu Moon Lore.

The full eclipse of the moon was OBJ
served in Singapore on the night of
August 4. According to the Hindus
this eclipse is the contact between
the moon and another planet called
Rahoo, but the masses believe that
owing to the will Of God, Rahoo, or the
serpentlike planet, catches hold of the
moon by its hideous mouth and re-
leases it after a short time.
At the first contact the Hindus
battle principally in the sea and anxi-
ously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur
ing the interval they are not allowed
even to drink cup of water, as their
belief is that all things in the world
get polluted during the contact.-Sing-

The Port of Eiona.Kena.

Hong-Kong is one of the most active
shipping ports in the world, but it is
not a market. 1t is a convenient point
for the transfer of cargoes from or
intended for the different ports of
China, Japan, Korea, the Philippine
Islands, Siam and other parts of the
east, but it is a small island, with a
limited population, who produce moth
ing and consume comparatively little
but handle a great deal of trade in
transit.
