AN HOUR OF THRILLS.
Shooting the Rapids Of the Hodzu
River, In Japan.

Shooting the Rapids, Of the Hodzu
River, In Japan.
The rapids on tie Hodzu river near
Kyoto must fill even the most blase of
tourists with excitement A train from
Kyoto climbs slowly and painfully up
ward until finally it deposits its pas
sengers at a quaint little siding.
From here, says the Wide World
Magazine, one goes to the river bank
and embarks in a rude. fat bottomed
boat, which is pushed out by four men
into the middle of broad river. reed
edged and sleepy.
For few minutes one glides dream
lily along' then, rounding a curve, one
suddenly hears the roar of water, and
the boat tears down a rapid. Just MISS
ing the rocks on each side. The high
banks race past. death appears immi-
nent, and then, with one mad swirl, it
is all over and the boat is on the quiet,
unruff]ed stream once more.
This happens again and again for
about an hour. At first ones whole
mind is filed with the conviction that
an accident must happen, but gradu-
ally comes delicious feeling OF safety
as one notes the marvellous skill these
men show in plotting the boat through
the seething rapids and one is able to
appreciate the beauty of the scene.
