Those who have already lasted in the fasting chamber this year number 226 men and 32 women. Of the whole number 59 lasted less than week. 174 lasted one week, ten continued fasting two weeks, fl lasted three weeks and one went without food for five weeks.
 Inquiry as to the motives of the fast. CTS showed that 169 men and 25 wom- en desired to rise in the world, 13 men and two women wanted to in. crease their business profits, 16 men prayed for the safety of their families, 13 men and four women sought cures of diseases and ten men wanted gen. eral good luck.
 Only three persons. two men and one woman, lasted in gratitude for the fulfillment of former prayers. Tt need scarcely be said. remarks the Japan Times. that the period of their fast Ing was the shortest"
