This custom of fire walking Is quits

miles from Telllchery, IN the direction
of the French settlement of Maize, Is a
locality reputed for fire walking Here
a famous "pujur" by the name of
Oochatta dwells. He actually sits on
heap of fire at an annual festival, but
IS said to be protected by the bark of
the areca nut. which is known to be
bad conductor of heat. At the village
of Putnam, thirty-two miles from Tel
lichery In the Kaval Taluq, North Ma
labar, a weird ceremony Is performed
annually, at midnight, In connection
with the worship of the village deity,
when the "pujari," who goes by the
name of Chamandy, throws himself In
cessantly on heap OF fire. about six
feet high and fifteen feet broad, until
he Is able to knock every fagot down
and level the whole heap with the
ground. One end of a rope is fastened
TO his arms, while the other end Is fas-

Is seized by two Malayali low caste
men, who pull the ''pujari" away each
time he PUSHES on the heap of fire Two
women at the same time with brooms
bring the fagots together as they are
knocked down by the 'puJari" and en-

is being dismantled by him. The wood
is the 'puum," hard Jungle wood OF
the Malabar forests. When the Who'll
