Mysterious Fire In Tree.

New York had mysterious fire the
other day. which attracted the atten-
ton of a multitude of people, and for
a short time blocked travel and traffic
on Broadway An old linden tree near
the Rector street side of Trinity
churchyard began to emit volumes Of
smoke, and in minute more a tongue
OF fame shot up out of the hollow
trunk and ignited the scant foliage
and old twigs. What started the tree
to blaze up is matter Of guesswork,
but no doubt 1t was caused by spon-
taneous combustion. The old tree. or
what is left OF the original trunk. is
only ~ feet high. and long ago all
else but the trunk and what remains
OF the old roots under the ground
have disappeared.

Worship Of Snakes.

Snakes, the objects OF terror to
most Europeans in eastern lands, are
worshiped in many parts OF India. In
some districts there are from $4,000
to 10000 shrines dedicated exclus-
lively to the worship Of snakes. These
shrines, which are invariably in hon
or of one OF the minor divinities of
the country, possess, In some In.
stances valuable properties for their
maintenance and for the cost Of the
numerous ceremonies which their
keepers have to perform, In these
shrines the Hindus set up fantastic
idols Of serpents. The devotees OF
this strange religion make periodical
offerings OF dough and milk and
cooked rice to the serpents living in
the shrine in order to receive their
favor.-Detroit News.psibune.

from Is per cent. for the left to 80
