FIXING TIMES OF SEASONS.
Strange Customs Observed by Far
Eastern People.

From the Journal of the Asiatic Society.
The Inhabitants of Borneo make use OF
the same means for fixing the times OF
their agricultural seasons as were used by
the early Britons and in Egypt between
1000 and 1000 B. C. They rely, that is 10
say. on the time of rising of certain constel-
lations just before the sun-known to as
tronomers as their heliacal rising. Many
ancient temples are found to be oriented
70 the point of the horizon which marks
the heliacal rising of the Pleades on a
May morning.
The natives of Borneo are using the ris-
ing of the same constellation as a guide to
the proper time TO prepare their ground
to grow their food supply When the dry
season Is perceived to be approaching two
men are sent out into the jungle to observe.
There they watch, perhaps a few nights,
perhaps month, until the Pleiades are
seen on the horizon just before the increas-
ing sunlight causes the stars to fade. Then
they return to the village and announce
the fact. The inhabitants now know that
work the forest must be commenced. If
by any means they have missed the helia-
cal rising of the Pleiades and have delayed
operations till Orion's belt is seen rising
just before the sun, they know that they
must work double shift. The ground being
cleared, they then wait till the Pleiades ar.
at the zenith at sunrise before they set fire
to the rubbish.
The above is the method adopted by tho
Dyaks. Other neighboring tribes, the Ken
yahs and Kayans, make use of the length
of the shadow cast by stick at noon to
determine their seasons. Situated as they
are between the tropics, the shadow is cast
on the north or south of the stick according
to the time of year. The length of tho
shadow also varies as the sun passes from
Cancer TO Capricorn and back. The shadow
Is measured by means of a potched stick.
The notches represent the lengths of shad-
ow which experience has shown to corre-
spond with favorable times for their agri-
cultural operations.
The Samoans, on the other hand, fix their
seasons by the appearance of curious ma
rine worm. which they call the paiolo. Tho
yai-ralofo, or time of the palolo, is the
name of one OF their seasons, as spring Is
one of ours This strange worm lives In
the interstices of the coral reefs and at
certain seasons makes its appearance IN
the open sea In immense numbers. It is
eagerly gathered and eaten by the natives.

Curly.
