TABLE LUXURY
In ORIENTAL LANDS.

Locusts are a table luxury in Pales-
tine n other places. The Jews fry
them in sesame Oil. In Arabia Petrea
locusts are dried in the sun and ground
into a kind of flour for baking. In
Central Africa certain tribes make
them into thick brown soup. In MAJ
agascar they are baked in huge jars,
then fried in grease and mixed with
rice. In Algeria they simply are
boiled in water and sailed to taste.
The Arabs grind and bake them as
cakes, roast them in butter or crush
them with camel's cheese and dates.
But they only resort to this fare in
of famine. In Southern Russia,
where locusts still are extensively
eaten by the serfs, the insects usually
are smoked in the first instance like
fish. When required for consumption
the legs n wings are broken off and
the bodies are boiled, roasted. stewed,
fried or boiled. The flavor of locusts,
while strong and disagreeable, becomes
mild n readily disguised when
cooked. Some locust soups scarcely
are to be distinguished from beef
broth. Fried in their own oil and
slightly sailed, they acquire a pleasant
nutty flavor. Locust eating tribes in
variably grow fat when the food Is
plentiful. Grubs and caterpillars are
eaten with avidity by Parisians and
butterflies are eaten by the natives of
A~ustra4ia. silkworms in China and har-
vest flies by some Africans.-Chicago

RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS
KEEP INDIA STIRRED UP.

Religion plays a very important part
in Indian village life; but it is in the
holidays and the rites connected with
them that religion asserts itself most
c-onspicuously. 1t is then that the
Brahman comes to the front. The
Brahmans are the priests, the "bhu-
surs' lords of the earth).
They take the lead in all rural life
absolutely and completely; in towns
their ascendency may be disputed, but
in the mofussil they still reign supreme;
in fact, in some of the more primitive
and out-of-the-way villages the Brah-
mans are actually objects of worship.
Nothing can go on without them,
neither births, marriages, deaths nor
~feasts, and, as a natural consequence,
there are man. feasts.
The ryot as a rule does no agricul-
tural work on a Monday-that is, he
gives himself and his animals a hebdo-
madal rest on that daX. and h u un-
consciously keeps up an observance
of a nature similar to the Christian
Sunday and the Jewish Sabbath. Then
the "shradh." or anniversary of tho
fathers death. is always strictly kept:
on that day the son shaves all the hair
off his head and face. puts on clean
white clothes. prays TO h gods and
gives offerings at the village shrine for
the repose of his fathers spirit, 1t is
for this reason chiefly that the Hindu
so p~assionately desires a son; if he has
not one of his own he adopts one.
The divali Cor feast of lanterns) falls
in January; it is the Hindoo New Year
and is the great business feast. as it
were. all books are balanced and ac-
counts adjusted at this time. The tent
pies and houses are brilliantly lighted up
and the women flock to h nearest
water, where they set afioat little
earthen saucers filled with oil in which
they place lighted wicks.
Nag-panchami occurs In July-August.
The monsoon, or rainy season, is sup
posed to end with this feast, and it is
therefore more extensively celebrated
in the coast districts than in the inland
parts; it is the great holiday for fish
ermen and seafarlng folk generally. The
cobra is worshiped; offerings of milk
are placed in shallow dishes in spots
which these reptiles are known to
haunt, while thousands of cocoanuts
are thrown into the sea, says the EN-
pire Review.
- SiiipiioAlNoiiS a oio VI i0Oiof
idolatry seems to have a fascination
for the Hindoo mind. The common
people of India are passionately de-
voted to the worship and service Of
idols; there are said to be 1873, 900, 900
gods in Hindostan. The three great
and especially venerated deities are
Brahma. Vishnu and Siva-the Hindu
trimurti or trinity Brahma stands
first, un~approachable and automatous;
only three temples in all India, I be-
lieve, are erected in his honor.
He is merely invoked as the chief of
the trimurti. but is not made the OBJ
ject of actual worship. as he is not sup
posed to take any interest in mundane
affairs; he is the creator. the giver of
all gifts n of all blessings, and con-
trolls the destinies of men, yet at the
same time is completely Indifferent to
them,-Exchange.

FUNNY BEETLE WITH A FUNNY NAME.

One of the most curious of all known
phosphorescent larvae is found in Brit
ish Guiana, near the Brazilian border.
where it is known t. the natives by
the name of camadoub. 1t is believed
to be the larva of some beetle. A
specimen was recently carried to Eng
land by Mr.. C. w. Anderson II ex-
hibited, dead, at a meeting of the Lin
mean Society. When living the crea-
ture shows a ruby light in it's read and
a double row of phosphorescent spots
along the body, W on each segment,
The lights arc not intermittent, but

COSTLY CONSTRUCTION OF
AN EXPOSED LIGHTHOUSE.

The new lighthouse recently COM
pleted on the Fastnet rock, a small
pinnacle off the southeast corner of
latest example of lighthouse construc-
ton on a wave-washed rock, but the
most expensive tower ever erected, hav-
ing cost no less than fS4,000, SAYS the
Montreal Standard. 1t has been built
by the Irish lights board, and is n
of the most important beacons on the
coasts. The rock lies in the direct
route for Atlantic shipping passing the
south of ireland, and is thus a danger
which it is of the utmost Importance
to light adequately.
The plans for the lighthouse were
drawn up and the work put in hand py
William Douglass, engineer to the Irish
lights board. He a forced, however,
to retire through i'll health before 1t
was completed, when his first lieuten-
ant, c.. w. Scott. too over the entire
responsibility and finished the under
taking.
The new lighthouse displaces the old
cast iron tower. This latter was ninety
one feet high, and stood on the summit
of the rock. 1t was not long, however.
before it was discovered hat the cast
iron tower was not stable enough TO
withstand the severe buffetings of the
waves to which the rock is subjected.
The Fastnet is exposed to the full fury
of the Atlantic during south and north
west gales. The waves often dash over
the top of the lantern, 173 feet above
the norma level of the sea. On one
occasion a full cup of coffee standing
en- the table in the top room was
thrown to the floor when a heavy wave
Numbered against the rock and SUBJ
merged the tower. Under this continual
pounding large masses of rock were dis
lodged from the pinnacle, undermining
the tower. From time to time his
erosion was repaired. until at last Mr..
Douglass decided to replace the struc-
ture by a modern one of stone.
The granite of which the lighthouse
is built came from the quarries in
Cornwall. Altogether 2.074 stones were
worked into the structure, ranging from
one n thr%ee-quarters to three tons
each in weight, and representing q
total weight of 1900 tons The entrance
door to the tower is f1fty-seven feet
nine inches above high-water mark.
To keep out the storm the keepers can
close the heavy teal door and let down
over it a heavy gunmetal casting.

RADIUM STRANGELY AFFECTS GEMS.

Two papers have recently been COM
municated to the French Academy of
Science by M. F. Bordas IN the re-
markable effect produced by the action
of radium bromide oil precious stones
of the alumnia family. such as corun-
dunn, ruby, topaz and sapphire. In the
latest of these communications Bordas
says that under the influence of the
ray colorless corundum has been
transformed into topaz, the depth of
color of natural topazes has been in
creased, and a similar effect has been
produced with family colored rubies.
Fused alunlina without color, when
submitted to the action of the radium
bromide, became first rose-colored and
then reddish-yellow. These curious eff
fects are not explained by the discov-
erer, but he thinks that they are not
due to oxidation, because they occnr
equally well at very low temperatures.
