FEARED THE COMET.

Hundreds of Mexicans from the
villages along the Mexican border
gathered about crosses erected OF the
hills awaiting the appearance Of the
fiery comet they thought was hurry
ing to destroy the world. For ten
days the superstitious Mcxica&s
sought to avert the impending cat2s-
trophe with music, lamentations and
weird ceremonies, and many have
spent day and night in prayer. Han
dreds sought refuge in caves and
canyons in the mountains. As the
hours passed without catastrophe,
gloom gave way to joy, and dancing
and feasting replaced the religious
ceremonies.
