Two ceremonies in Burma mark when
childhood stops and manhood or WON
anhood begins. The boys have their
thighs tattooed and the girls their ears
bored. The boring of girls ears Is
commenced with a needle, and the
puncture is gradually increased until
the tip of the finger can be introduced.
The enlarging process is the one car
ried out in the Polynesian islands,
where native can carry a good sized
knife hanging. in the lobe of his ear
The ugliest mutilation is that of the
Eskimo, who punches a hole In his
cheek and puts bone stud into It. The
Burmese boy suffers great pain from
the elaborate ornamentaton of his legs,
which are decorated in blue and red
patterns.

ARNlsH ROCK.
A Lighthouse which In without a
Light OF Its own.


The most extraordinary of all light
houses is to be found on Arnish rock
Stornoway bay, rock which Is sepa
rated from the island of Lewis by d
channel over 800 feet wide, It is in tho
Hebrides Scotland, ON this rock a
conical beacon Is erected, and on Its
summit 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 10
it. for the simple reason that there is
no lamp to attend TO- no wick 10 train
and no oil well to repleniSh.
The way in which this peculiar light.
house is illuminated Is this: "On the
Island Of Lewis, 500 feet or so away.
is lighthouse. and from window in
the tower a stream Of light is project.
ed on a mirror In the lantern ON the
summit Of ArniSh rock. These rays
are reflected TO an arrangement OF
prisms and by their action are con.
yergcd to focus outside the lantern,
from which they diyerge 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 serviceable a
light taking into account the require
ments Of the locality, as II an elaborate
and costly lighthouse, with lamps, serv-
ice room, bedroom. living room, store
room, oil room, water tanks and all
other accessories, were erected on the
summit OF the rock.
