MODERN DEMAND FOR SILENCE.
German Newspapers Protest II Is Be-
ing Carried to Extremes.

How the times change!" says a
writer in the Frankfurter Zeitung. In
the days Of our fathers no description
Of homelike, cosy room was com
plete without a reference to the tick
ing clock. It was this gentle sound
which emphasized the quiet Of the
place. People had no nerves in those
days. To-day the thought Of ma
chine ticking off the seconds and strik-
ing the hours is a source Of WORRY and
distress. Time is going, but they do
not wish to be reminded of it continu-
ally; no clock Is better than the tick
ing machine And now to meet the re-
qulrements Of the nervous people, a
factory at Schramburg is making a
noiseless clock" In an article ON the
same subject another paper says:
THE anti-noise craze has made disa-
greeable and unendurable some Of the
noises which once we're music to us,
and soon we will find way to silence
the birds and to mufle the sound Of
the rustling leaves"

Eaat AfrIean ReIIaIous Ceremony.

Recently a strange ceremony was
performed at Changamwe, East Afri-
ca, to bring rain A house-to-house
visit was made among the natives by
a self-appointed committee who col
lected from each hut the sum Of two
annas. With the total thus collected
an OK was purchased. A procession
was then formed, in which all the
available children took part After
the procession had proceeded around
the district for a period of two hours
the OK was sacrificed, prayers from
the Koran being sang by the children,
The meat of the OK was then boiled
in pots by adult participators and
given to the children to eat until the
whole was consumed. The bones and
remaining offal of the carcass were
later put in a sack, carefully carried
to the sea and thrown into deep water
Circumstantially rain fell for a few
hours on the succeeding day.
