CHINAmEN feed THE DEAD"
Religious Ceremony Faithfully Oh.

They May BE Living.

Cinnamon still observe the religious
ceremony Of feeding the dead" The
food is intended as propitiatory offer.
Ing to the Chinese evil spirit. The
offerings vary according to the habits
and tastes Of the occupants Of the
graves.
AT the grave Of one" says an eye
witness Of feast, "his friend, after
digging holes in the hard ground with
his knife, stuck up two candles, and
laid out several sets Of chop-sticks and
as many small cups, which he filed
with wine; then he placed on the grave
some bowls Of rice. package Of Gig
arettes, and small vessel Of opium.
Afterward he made several bows and
genuflections. as II inviting his dead
friend or the other party to set to.
"A number OF fires were burning in
the vicinity, and on these were placed
pieces Of paper. with squares Of imita-
ton gold leaf pasted on them repre-
senting gold coin; other squares with
silver foil represented silver coin; and
smaller squares, punched fun Of holes,
represented the, brass teash,' which has
a hole in the center. Some burned
small garments made Of paper, and
thus furnished new suit to their de-
ceased friends at a small cost. After
the provisions had been displayed long
enough to give the spirit enough to
satisfy himself, they were carefully
brought back to town."

DivinQt Water Birds.

Water birds, which are ordinarily
able to float high. on the: water can
also sink at will by expelling the all

feathers surrounding their bodies,
thus making them heavier than water.
This mechanical trick on the part Of
diving birds is probably familiar to all
who have watched the kingdsher at

sudden contraction in the birds ap.

Crime Always Poorly Paid.

Il has long been a matter Of note
that the safe robber Of highest degree
and the counterfeiter of fullest accom-
plishment bring to their purposes tai
ents which would serve them in legiti-
mate application exceptionally well.
Ranking below these operators in
genius, the new motor cur thief dis
plays yet an acumen and smoothness
In busines execution which should
make him as q straight man of af-
6airs generally valuable.
4 All these performers, refusing to
work honestly for sure and sufficient
compensatton, work much harder for
the uncertain returns and ever-present
sperils Of crO0kedness. They make
manifest curious paradox Of crime.
They are not explained wholly by the
tories s0f stunted spirit of adventure
md highly temperamental love for
fthe risks of the game. Perhaps the
|law, to meet them effectively, should
hold them to- punitive account In
measures proportional less to arbi-
trary degrees Of crime than to proved
wastes Of natural gifts.

AS far back as the fourth and thirG
centuries B. c. :Chuang Tzu, the bril-

life is really dream. He said
"Those who dream of a banquet
awake to lamentation and sorrow
Those who dream of lamentation and
sorrow wake to join the hunt. While
they dream they do not know that they
dream. Some even interpret the dream
they are dreaming; and only when they
wake do they know it was dream
By-and-by comes the great awakening
and then we find that this life is real:
ly a great dream.

and flatter themselves they know If
they are really princes, or peasants.

Determining Ago Of Planets.

j OetofmsnSn0 ago OF PI4net6
a novel idea in estimating the physi-
cal condition Of planets was put forth
BY N. Veronnet before the Academic
des Sciences at a recent meeting in
Paris. He based It upon a calculation
of the quantity of water that rocks
such as granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon all water
has been completely absorbed by slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus is stlll surrounded by q thick
layer Of vapor, while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer.
curry, this planet being still in con.
diti0n in which Its geological life has
not begun. and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on its surface.
u. Ver0nnet calculates that the
rocks Of our earth now contain alb
0orbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth OF about
400 metres. /

The romance Of the war must ap-
peal to all who see underlying the ter
rible conflict much that is beautiful
and ennobling. The great fleet of
ships that have sprung up to sail the
seas that the liberties OF the world
may be defended. and that men and
women may have the right to live In
freedom, to build their homes in Sc
curity and to keep the hearth fires
sacred are not the least romantic OF
the many great feats which have been
accomplished in this world struggle.
Pensacola has the good fortune to
be among the cities of the world where
great things are being accomplished
In the name of liberty, not the least
of which is the building of the ships
which Is going forward with such
marvellous expedition.
And in addition to the romance OF
war, Cupid, who Is So busy In these
war times, has shot one of his silver
arrows in this direction and pretty
story has come to light In connec-
ton with the Maria at this port. the
ship recently launched by the Bullock
& Caldwell Ship Building Co.. which
has been sold to Norwegian interests,
and which Captain Danielsen, OF Nor
way is master.
Captain Danielsen came to Pensa-
cola as a bachelor but he will leave
this port a benedict. for his marriage
