Fire Of Vengeance.

In Siam is fire that not only lasts

near Bangkok, where every fourth
year at certain period the priests
light fresh fire in a big brazier.
This fame is kept alive for four years
and is in turn extinguished after' sup

Inasmuch as this practice has OBJ
tained for upward of two centuries
the Buddhist fire of Bangkok is in a
sense the Oldest in the world.
Another long term fire is said to
exist at Sarhad. Persia. This flame is
symbol of religious fervor and it is
death to extinguish it; 1t has burned
for 70 years. In explanation of this
curious rite 1t is explained that the
Persians, rigid Mohammedans and re.
garding their former fire worshipping
faith with detestation, nevertheless
suffer the Sarhad flame to continue to
display their gratitude for a service

the happy means of saving the grand
vizier from assassination. So the
grateful shah of that day ordered that
the fire lighted by the Parsee should
be kept alive indefinitely. Z
There are some regions of tn
earth, like those inhabited by the En-
kimos. where the motive for retain. /
ing fires for long periods lies in thej
great difficulty of obtaining means TO

Burglars were abroad in Las We

broken into, and while the haul was
comparatively small, the method in
which the work was done leaves the
impression that professionals pulled
eff both jobs.
The two places entered were Chas
Greenclay's wholesale liquor estab-
lishment and ]. A. Taichert's clothing
store within a few doors of each
other on Lincoln avenue. In both in
stances entrance was effected by
breaking the transom over the rear
DOORS of the stores.
The biggest haul was made at
Greenclay's store, where s25.65 was
taken from the cash register, and sew
eral bottles OF brandy from the liquor
stock, The burglars spared the cash
register, fortunately, and instead of
breaking it open they simply rang up
a five cent purchase which opened
the money drawer, and after taking
out all the change, closed the regis
ter again.
