cording to these statistics, the lump of

ST. sWITHiN AND RAIN.
The Legend of the Chapel Over the

The Legend of the Chapel Over the
Bishops Grave.
The superstitions referring to par
ticular days are very numerous. The
legend Of st. Swithin is an example
that will occur to every one:
st. swithin's day. If thou dost rain,
For forty days 1t will remain;
st. Swithin's day, If thou be fair,
For forty days twill rain nae mair
st. Swithin, bishop of Winchester, &C
cording to the author of "The Popular
Antiquities" was "a man equally not
ed for uprightness and humility. So
far did he carry the latter virtue that
on his deathbed he requested to be
buried not within the church, but out
side the churchyard on the north of the
sacred building, where his corpse might
receive the eavesdroppings from the
roof and his grave be trodden by the
feet of passersby. His lowly request
was complied with, and in this neglect
ed spot his remains reposed till about
100 years afterward, when a fit of
pious indignation seized the clergy at
the fact that the body of so holy
member Of their order was allowed to
occupy such position, and on an ap-
pointed day they all assembled to con-
vay it with great pomp to the adjoin-
Ing cathedral of Winchester. When
they We're about to commence the cere-
mony heavy rain burst forth and con-
tinued without intermission for the
forty succeeding days. The monks in
terpreted this tempest as warning
from heaven of the blasphemous nature
OF their attempt to contravene the d.
rection Of St. Swithin, and instead of
disturbing his remains they erected a
chapel over his grave" EST. Swithin is
christening the apples is the more po-
etical way of describing st. Swithin's
rain.

Peculiar ways Of the Onas 81 Tierra

The Onas, tribe Of Indians inhabit-
ing the mainland Of the TERRA del Flu
ego isla1d. are physical giants. Their
average height is over six feet. A few
are six and one-half feet; q few fall be-
low six feet. The women are more cor.
pulent and not so tall. There is no
race in the world with a more perfect
physical development than the Ona In
dams. This Is partly due to the topog-
raphy of the country and the distribu-
ton Of the game. which makes long
marches across the country necessity.
In mentality they fall far below their
physical attainments. In the past their
supply of game has been plentiful, and
this may account for the lack of in
ventive genius among them. This lack
of progressive skill is portrayed in their
home life. clothing aud homes. Their
children suffer from II, for, contrary to
the practice common among most In
dams of feeding, dressing and training
the children well. the Onas' little ones
are mostly naked, poorly fed and alto
gether neglected. They have abundant
material for supplying themselves with
clothing and homes, and yet they throw
few branches together, put skins over
the windward side and then SILVER un.
der the miserable shelter.
Scientists who have made study of
the subject say that the language of
the Onas is the strangest ever listened
to. Many of the words are not difficult
to pronounce, nor Is the construction
of the sentences difficult, but very few
words are interrupted by a sound
which it is impossible to produce. The
speaker hacks, coughs and grunts, dis.
torting his face in the most inhuman
manner. and then passes on to the next
stumbling block. The Onas live princi-
pally upon meat. which in former years
was obtained from the guanaco-New

SNAKES OF sARAwAk,
The Pythons Are Enornous and Feed
ON Plgs and Children.

ON Pigs Snd Children.
In the Sarawak Gazette Is an article
on the snakes Of that part of Borneo.
OF the poisonous reptiles it says: 1.-THE
cobra (Naja tripudians) is black
snake which raises Its head to strike
when irritated. at the same time ex-
panding the hood at either side of the
neck. 1t spits at intruders and Kisses
like cat. whence it is known as
"ular tedong puss;' in some parts, too,
as "tctlong mata hari" The word ''te-
dong" in Sarawak is apparently ap-
piled to all large snakes which Malays
consider to be poisonous, and, as our
Malays are but i'll acquainted with
these animals. quite number Of large
but harmless forms are designated by
this term. The hamadryad (Naja bun
garus) is a brown snake, considerably
bigger but rarer than the cobra. 1t is
rather shy. but when cOrnered, like
the cobra, it raises its head and eX-
pands the hood before striking Its
food is chiefly other snakes.
"LesS dangerous than these najas
are lHS NlI'efS. Cl WHICH IlC most
common species is the green viper.
which reaches Il length of two feet or
more. The head is large and shaped
like an ace of spades. This creature is
tree snake and very sluggish. The
'bungarus' are of several species, one,
Bungarus fasciatus, Of length up to
four feet. being black with yellow
rings. II is called the 'ular buku tebu'
(sugar cane joints by natives. There
are also sea snakes of many species.
The tail of sea snake is fattened
and Oarlilie."
Salawak has other snakes: "Of the
pythons there are two species. Ply
thon ret!culatus grows to an enor-
nous size. over twenty feet. 1t is
very fond Of pigs, but varies its diet
by various animals, including even
children. The oil of this snake is used
by Malays as an embrocation for
bruises. The other species Of python,
Python curtus, is interesting in that
Its flesh tastes like that of fowl-at

thorities on snake flesh, for they eat

threw him into deep water out of
boat to make him manly. But he was
not satisfied by inspiring physical ter

hollow behind the house was haunted
by monstrous and malevolent phan-

The Flying Lizard Of Java.

The curious little animals known AZ
Tying lizards (Draco volahs) are only
found in Java, and their strange ap-
pearance is supposed to have been the
origin Of the dragon Of the medieval
eastern Imagination. The reptile is like
an ordinary lizard, but Is provided with
folds Of extensible skin which are
spread out by the long ribs and enable
the animal to glide through the air from
tree to tree In pursuit of the insects on
which it preys. When lying prone on
the notified surface Of a bough, it is
an excellent example Of protective re-
semblance.' as it is most difficult to be
seen unless it moves.

from an outlying station: Station
