FIRES THAT NEVER GO o. ~,
the Oldest In the World-Sioiiian
Fire of Vengeance.

In siam is fire that not only lasts
for years but has what have been
aptly termed "lineal descendants" 1t
is to be found in Buddhist temple
near Bangkok, where every fourth
year at certain period the priests
light a fresh fire in big brazier.
This flame is kept alive for four years
and is in turn extinguished after sup
plying brand to ignite its successor.
Inasmuch as this practice has OBJ
tanned for upward of two centuries
the Buddhist fire of Bangkok is in
sense the Oldest in the world.
Another long term fire is said to
exist at Sarhad. Persia. This flame is
a symbol of religious fervor and 1t is
death to extinguish it; it has burned
for 10 years. In explanation of this
curious rite it is explained that the
Persians, rigid Mohammedans and re-
garding their former fire worshipping
faith with detestation. nevertheless
suffer the Sarhad fame to continue to
display their gratitude for service

sian government many years ago. Att
that time, it is said, pious Parsee,
who had come to trade at Sarhad wasI
the happy means of saving the grand
vizier from assassination. So theI
grateful shah of that day ordered that
the fire lighted by the Parsee loul4
be kept alive indefinitely.
There are some regions Of thd
earth, like those inhabited by the EsI
kimos, where the motive for RETAIN

great difficulty of obtaining means fot

Day

Coin cards for the anti Tuberculosis

that the total of $4,000 will have been
distributed, each home having received
one card. The cards will be retained
until Saturday. when they will be col
lected by hundreds Of volunteer col
lectors with their contents amid the
blowing of factory whistles and the
ringing of bells all over the city.
It is expected that about $4,000 will
be collected in this manner for the
fight against consumption. Immedi-
ately after the collection prizes for
the largest collections will be awarded.
The section of the Ninth ward east
Of Market street has been assigned to
the Rev. Herman Litorin, Of the Swed-
ish Baptist Church. The following will
