LARGE Famiies.-The Chinese are
proud of large families, and large
family living together under one roof, is
looked upon as proof Of the good tenn
per and correct course of life of its
members and as a sure path to pros
perity. A large family which is able to
live together without dividing the prop
erty always receives much credit and
is highly respected. 1t Is one Of the
highest distinctions in China to have
WI Flu T'ung, or five generations, un-
der one roof, although such a distinc-
tion Is attained by very few.
According to a recent census, the
family of Meng Yu Shih, widow, of
the village of Mantao, in the territory
Of Wei-haie-wei, has the distinction OF
being the largest in the land. Her
family consists Of sixty-six members
and, with one servant, there are sixty
seven mouths to be fed daily.
Meng Yu Shih Is sixty-six years old
and has nine sons and numerous grand
children and great -grandchildren all
living under her roof. She has not yet
attained the ambition Of being the head
of WI Flu T'ung Tang, but the size OF
her family has already given her the
honor and pleasure of being the largest
in China, even If she had not five gen.
erations under one roof.
There are many households with
more than forty members, and almost
all old and distinguished families OF
China have at least twenty members
Families of small size, three or four
are considered rather bad form, even II
they are rich and occupying high posi-
tions. Size of family is as valuable In
China as size of strong box.

They Also Give Performances That
are Very Popular.

The wandering acrobats of India are
recruited from a low caste of people
called "Dombaranos," who live by this
profession alone. The children are
trained from their earliest childhood,
and do not receive any education in
schools, says the Wide World Maga-
zine. They travel from village to town
and give their performances, which are
really wonderful in the open air, before
crowds Of onlookers. Their tricks are
quaint and sometimes astonishingly
clever.
Supported by one another these men
will balance themselves in a crazy kind
of pyramid rising fifteen or twenty feet
from the ground, and one of their num-
ber will then climb this living pyramid
with a heavy weight in his teeth. Ba-
bies not yet able to walk are often seen
being made use Of in the most danger
Gus manner in these performances.
Rajahs and rich Indians are very
fond Of the acrobatic displays and en-
gage the best Of the men to perform be-
fore their guests at entertainments.

over the snow that the earth had a red
appearance. These insects were quite
large, but no one seemed to be able
to determine where they came from.
It is quite common for ashes and
volcanic dust to fall, in various parts
of the globe, but these do not always
come from the clouds, often falling
from clear sky.
Dust and ashes have been 80 dense

sometimes carried for hundreds Of
miles before being deposited on the
surface. Sand has been gathered up
from deser.s and plains by severe
windstorms and carried for long dis
