ST. swITHIN AND RAIN.
The Legend of the Chapel Over tAs
Bishops Grave. 4

The Legend Of the Chapel Over tAs
Bishops Grave.
The superstitions referring to par-
dcular days are very numerous. The
legend Of st. Swithin Is an example
that will occur to every one:
st. Swithin's day, IL thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain:
st. Swithin's day. II 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 bis 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
Cd spot his remains Eeposed Till abo1t
100 years after ward, when At q
piuus indignation seized the clergy ct
the fact that the body Of - holy q
member Of their order was allowed to
occupy such position, and ON an ap-
pointed day they all assembled to con-
vey it with.great pomp to the ad5oin-
ing cathedral Of Winchester. When
they were 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" "St. Swithin IN
christening the apples" is the more po-
etical way Of describing st. Swithh's
rain.

the tombs Of the Ming dynasty and In
the perfectly plain. structures designed
for the tombs Of the present dynasty.
These are composed of enormous
blocks Of stone brought with Infinite
labor from distant quarries over roads
and bridges which are hardly capable
Of sustaining ordinary cart traffic and
have always to be specially prepared
to prevent the great weights causing
their collapse.
The same admiration for the employ
ment Of huge blocks of stone is seen
in the case Of the bridges over the riv.
ers along the coast of South Fukien,
where she stone slabs used in / e con-
structfoa occasionally measure sixty
feet In length and are estimated to
weigh nearly 100 tons, and the bridges
themselves have length of 1000 to
1000 yards.
In almost all cases where the build
ings are not Of solid construction the
weight Of the blocks employed has
placed strain upon the supports which
the architects skill was not competent
to provide against, and with the lapse
Of time the melancholy spectacle is
seen Of slabs fallen from their places
and of noble and costly structures
approaching ruin. In some cases the
interdependence of the arches leads to
the same result. One notable instance
Of this occurred during Colonel Cor

make a gap in a bridge Of over twenty

In the Sarawak Gazette IL m article
on the snakes Of that part Of Borneo.
OF the poisonous reptiles It says: 1.-THE
cobra (Naja tripudians) Is q black
snake which raises its head to strike
when irritated, at the same time ex-
pandiDg the hood at either side Of the
neck. 1t spits at intruders and Kisses
like q cat, whence 1t is known as
"ular tedong puss;' in some parts, too,
rs "tedong mata hari." The word ''te-
dong" In Sarawak is apparently APP
piled to all large snakes which Malays
consider to be poisonous, and. as our
Malays are but I'll acquainted with
these animals, quiteF.a number Of large.
but harmless forms are designated by
this term. The hamadryad (Naja bun
garus) is brown snake, considerably
bigger but rarer than the cobra. It is
rather shy, but when cornered, like
the cobra, It raises it's head and ex-
papds the hood before striking. Its
food is chiefly other snakes.

are the vipers, Of which the most
common species is the green viper,
which reaches u length Of two feet or
more. The head is large and shaped
like an ace Of spades. This creature is
a 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. 1t is called the 'ular. buku tebu'
(sugar cane joints by natives. There
are also sea snakes Of many species.
The tail Of a sea snake is fiattened
and oarlike."
Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the
pythons there are two species. Py-
thon reticulatus 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
least, SO Dyaks say, and they are au-
thorities on snake flesh, for they eat
