A Curiosity at Mandalay From the Wide World Maeazine


 Of the many curosities to be seen in the wonderful temples of Mandalay. a few arrest the attention of the travelling Westerner more than the three-headed elephant in the Arakan pagoda, which Is | regarded by the Burmese one of the most sacred of their many shrines. The principal object of adoration in this tenn pie Is a seated image of Buddha twelve and one half feet high, and heavily coat ed with gold leaf. This gold leaf is con stantlv being renewed with the offerings of pous devotees: you can buy leaf for a rupee. follow the pilgrims who flock to the temple up the steps leading behind the image, and place the glittering nor sel on Buddhas back, thus performing an act of great merit in Burmese eyes. The headed elephant is Buddha' s guard, and occupys the sanctuary that leads into the holy of holies. This strange statue is made of bronze and, apart from its frealxish character, is a clever piece of work.

 Port of the Desert
 Biskra is a port. so to speak, in the Sahara sea, at which caravans of cam els-"ships of the desert" as they have aptly been described-are daily arriving with rich loads of produce for convey ance to the various coast towns of All giers and Tunisia. It has a varied and moving population. East and west meet there, Bedouins. Arabs. Soudanese, Ka- byles, Israelites, Moors and European and American visitors.
 It IS on market days that one appre- ciates the cosmopolitan character of its floating population. In the market place, which occupies a covered space with arcades surrounding 1t, are gathered to- gether crowds of native buyers and sellers actively bargaining and bartering. Here are tall dark Arabs in their snow-white flowing burnouses and turbans of camel hair, the living pictures of the Caliph Haroun all -Raschid. Bedouins in their jellabs, negroes of the Soudan. Officers and soldiers of fhe French and native army in their bright blue and red uni forms, and forming a striking background to it all the vivid colors of fruits and green vegetables, laid out in piles on the ground. native pottery, and leather work and bright fabrics arranged on the nu- merous stalls
 AdJoining the market place is the street Of the dancing women of the Ouled Nail tribe, whose performance is one of the most remarkable and attractive features of the life of Biskra. Each evening. after dinner. the English and American visitors attend the Cafe Mature. where the danc- Ing is held. It is plain room with a sanded floor and simple wooden seats.
