Believed by Japs,

The Japanese believe in more myth
ical creatures than any other people
on the globe, civilized or savage.
Among these mythical animals are
some without any remarkable peculi-
arities of conformation, but gifted with
supernatural attributes, such as q
tiger which Is said to live until it has
become a thousand years old, and
then turns as white as polar bear.
The Japanese also believe in a multi
tude Of animals distinguished mainly
by their monstrous size or by the
multiplication of their members.
Among these are serpents 500 feet
long and large enough to swallow an
elephant, foxes with eight legs, mon
keys with four ears, and fishes with
ten heads attached to one body. Japs
also believe in the existence of a crane
which, after 1t has lived for 500 years,
has no need Of any sustenance except
water.
