DOUBTS TEE BUDDHA STORY
Philadelphia Authority Reveals a
Weak Point in London Report.
Points Out Differences in Dates md
Says Reports Cannot
BE True.

Philadelphia. Pa. July Z-Albert ]. Ed
munds. librarian OF the Historical So
ciety Of Pennsylvania and an author upon
Buddha and Buddhism, throws strong
doubts upon the truth Of a dispatch from
London to a morning paper, stating that
a large casket has been found near Pesh-
awar. in Northwestern India. containing
the ashes OF Buddha.
The dispatch adds that an inner recep-
tacle OF rock crystal which contained the
ashes was sealed with the seal OF King
Kanishka. Upon this point Mr.. Edmunds.
who has devoted many years TO the study
Of Buddhism and has written several
books upon It. says:
This great Buddhist patron lived IN or
about the first Christian century. and
not at the time OF Buddha himself. FIVE
centuries before, as the dispatch wrongly
states. The seal Of Kanishks, unless sup
plemented by that Of an earlier king.
would at once throw doubt upon the gen
uineness OF the relics.
I'VE know from the Book Of the Great
Decease' that eight different places re-
ceived portions Of Buddha-s ashes after
his cremation. Those of these places
which we can identify are all IN the basin
OF the Ganges. where the great thinker
died. II is improbable that any portion
was carried so far west al the Punjiab al
that time; but, Of course. It IS possible
that centuries later, when one Of the
towns which possessed a portion fell into
decay (as we know that many Of them
did, the Emperor Kanishka may have
had the ashes transferred into his do
minions IN the northwest.
If he did so, he should have given an
account Of the transaction, and stated
which portion he had transferred; for
the Book OF the Great Decease' was ex-
tant in HIS time. and the names of the
places were probably familiar TO him.
Indeed, I'm his zeal for the Buddhist
Scriptures he caused official commen-
taries to DO compiled, and these enjoyed
such prestige that their publication made
new departure In the history OF Budd-
hist literature. Let us hope that later
information win settle the point ana
either brand the new find as spurious or
justify the action of Kanishka."
Among the books Mr.. Edmunds has
written upon the ancient religion OF In
dia are Buddhist and Christian Gospels" 8"

RICE FOR NEWLY wEDs SAVED.
Grains with the Flavor OF Romance
Fed 10 Chickens.


From the New Orleans TimesDcmoc7t
June, OF course. as every one knows. is
q great month for brides. It IS also a
great month for bridegroOms. But there
are others, including chickens and several
kinds Of fowls. that benefit by the we'd
dings and the enthusiasm Of relatives
and friends In wishing the newly weds
good luck, pleasant journey and all OF
that
Every time there has been a wedding in
New Orleans. and there were many OF
them last month. and when the couple
has gone out Of town on the honeymoon,
there has been evidence Of the marriage
at the passenger station from where the
two departed. This evidence consists
mostly Of rice. and now and then an old
shoe appears. But il is the rice that has
attracted particular attention
There are several old negroes who make
II practice TO go 10 the different pas
senger stations each morning and during
the day sweep up the rice that has been
thrown, amid cheers and tears, 10 the
two who are starting of 20 another
world-to the beautiful land Of Cupid.
This rice, bits Of which have hit the
bride and bridegroom, too. and chung to
the wedding clothes for a second per-
haps, IS swept from the prOsaic OLD sta
ton platform into old sacks-any old
kind of sacks. Then the little bits Of
rice with the flavor Of romance are car
ried home on the sweeper's back and the
next day are fed to the chickens, or the
ducks or some other kind Of feathered
tribe.
The rice has done its duty at the de-
parture OF the principals Of the wedding
OF the hour-then it goes on 70 the
chicken yard. where It is enjoyed more so
than before. and where It does duty as
food beside.
