THE MAL.Ays.
Their Lives Seem TO BE Governed by
Their Supsrstitions.

Malays will resort to any and
every conceivable pretext to avoid
paying money.on Friday. They be-
lieye that il they pay their debts on
this day they will be overtaken BY
poverty and want. Tuesday and
Saturday they consider generally
unlucky days, and if they shave Or
cut their nails on either OF these
days thereafter they will always be
in trouble and will perhaps die soon.
The Malay never sleeps in the after
noon because Of the fear that to
waste the hours of daylight tends to
shorten life. II a Malay finds his
clothes to have been bitten by a
rat he il sure that il signifies bad
luck, and If he can possibly afford it
the clothes are given away in the
name Of charity. There is a species
of bird called in the Malay country
rowk rowk, which lives in tfic fields
and does not build a nest. 1t is be-
lieyed that whoever obtains rowk
rowk's nest will become invisible by
placing it on his head. OF course
the Malays believe there is such a
nest hidden away somewhere.
The Malays always abstain from
taking food during an eclipse of the
sun or the moon and are exceeding
ly careful about their baths, so as to
prevent the attack of contagious
diseases. The crow Is bird Of es-
pecially i'll omen TO the Malay, and
il it is heard cawing near a habita-
ton ii means death to some one of
the inmates. In some other parts
OF the world il an owl alights on or
near house and boots it is said to
mean "death or desolation"-the
house may be burned or sold for
debt or other misfortune. IL

Of Malay he will at once turn
back and pursue his journey by an
other way. The crossing of the
black cat signifies danger involving
the loss Of life. In some other
countries rabbit crossing the road
has the same significance. The dis
agreeable habit Of biting the finger

Maiays. They believe that III in
dulgca in the habit will surely lead
to poverty.
II is considered BY the MALAY to
be a very lucky thing to see a pig
or a Chinese funeral before the sun
rises. Whatever he attempts on
tins day will be sure to prosper.
Dreaming of jumping a hrooklet as
sures the dreamer that he will die
in short time. Then the faithful
Malay dreamer gives aims to the
poor and behaves gently and kindly
to all about him in an endcayor to
paeify the gods and persuade them
to iengthen his life. To see a mon.
key in the morning il an evil omen,
and II signifies that the DAY will he

omens have palliations. and the wise
Malay usually takes each one ~ A
warning of danger or misfortune

PHOTOGRAPHIC ANIMALS.
Some Dangers the Man Behind the
Camera Encounters.

Camera Encounters.
Today the camera penetratcs
everywhere, and sometimes its use
Is attended with considerable dam
ger and difficulty. Nowhere is this
more pronounced tHan when the
camera is brought into use in TAX
ing lifelike pictures Of wild ami
mails in captivity.
How hazardous this may be is
shown by the following incident,
| which happened not long ago at a
big geological garden abroad: A
fine white leopard had been added to
the collection, and as soon as it APP
peared to have settled down the au-
thorities decided to have it photo
graphed. 1t seemed to be fairly
quiet creature-nerrous and timid,
to be sure, but without any sign of
temper. 5
When the keeper entered its cage
it had taken little notice of him be-
yond the usual splitting and Kissing
natural to its kind. The photogra-
pher therefore followed the keeper
into its cage without apprehension
of trouble.
He set up his apparatus, adjusted
it, took several pictures Of the
leopard, and all seemed satisfactory.
As he shut up his camera, however,
the operator CHANGED to shuttle his
feet once or twice on the floor of
the cage.
Like a streak of lightning the
leopard, with an ominous snarl,
leaped at him, and before lie could
move the animal was gripping his
ankle with his forepaws and fu-
riously biting at his foot. Luckily
the keeper and some assistants sue
ceeded in beating off sse beast in
time 10 save the photo sipher's life,
but it was A marrow squeak.
At the same ZOO some time after
when an attempt was made to pho
tograph one of the llamas-an ami
NAL generally considered to be a
fairly docite creature, with nothing
particularly Objectionable about il
beyond its habit of spitting-thc
photographers subject" revealed
its true nature by suddenly making
dash for camera and operator, and
before the latter could be rescued
he was the recipient Of innumerable
scratches, cuts and bruises which
took some weeks to heal.
1t Is an open question whether
seals and sea lions are vicious or
not. They are certainly extremely
curious and anxious to find out
things for themselves, and a pho
tographer who tried to take a pic
ture Of a troupe of performing sea
lions had an experience worth re-.
eording.
lie erected his tripod and camera
and Was about to make the exposure
when one of the sea lions wriggled
of his pedestal and made straight
for the camera. 1t was al done 50
quickly that before the photogra-
pher realized it the camera was mp
set and the sea lion was biting the
mans legs and feet pretty sharply.
The trainer got him away, and no
serious harm was done. but he ex-
planned To the camera man that sen
lions often did a little biting just
to find out what an object was made |

The HBlue Eootn

Although not SO prominent in Teu-

still looked upon as a mystic animal
throughout Sweden and north Germa-

long been regarded by the peasants as
SO sacred that his name must not be

some such euphemistic title as "blue
