Chinese Think Dark Spots
On the Moon Are Hares
Samoans, on the Other Hand,

great many curious ideas exist in
various parts of the world regarding
the dark spots on the moons disk. In
Eastern Asia the spots are believed to
be rabbit or hare; the Chinese in par

Most of the Siamese take the same

Some few, however, see in the moon

Curiously enough, the North American
Indians have almost the same super
stition a S the Chinese, and on old
monuments in Central America the
moon appears as jug or vessel. out
of which an animal like a rabbit is
jumping.
The South American Indians, on the
other hand believe that girl who
had fallen in love with the moon
sprang upward toward it, was caught
and kept by it, and that it is her fg-
ure which is seen on the moons face.
The Samoa Islanders look on the
spots as representing woman carry

people have similar beliefs, the woman

100000 at Coney Island;
$4,000 Enter the Surf
Police Find Girl in Bathing
Suit, Her Clothes Stolen,
Hiding in Car

Coney Island catered to 100000 visi-
tors yesterday, and it was estimated
that $4,000 entered the surf. Three
persons were drowned and as many
more rescued. The police were kept
busy tracing the scores of lost chill
dren reported, but the great crowd
one of the largest of the summer
behaved itself in admirable fashion,
the police say.
An unusual police discovery even
tor Coney Island, was that of Special
Officer William Kuhlken of the B. R.
T., who found Agnes Garrett, fifteen,
of ISL West Fiftythird Street, Man
haitian, sleeping in a "lay-up' train
of the Brighton Beach Railroad. The
girl was attired in a bathing suit and
explained at the Coney Island police
station that she had gone in bathing
from the municipal bathhouse last
Friday, and while in the water, she
said, some one had stolen her clothes.
She asserted that she had been loiter-
ing in the Coney Island section, with
only the bathing suit to shield her. for
the last two days. She was sent to
the Coney Island Hospital pending the
arrival of wardrobe
In the Coney Island Police Court
yesterday morning thirty three young
men were arraigned on a charge Of
gambling with dice Each was fined
$40 by Magistrate G.. E. Ismar.

Sacrament Interrupted
By Bolshevik Uproar'
Chalice of Church Also Poi.
soned by Miscreants Who
Broke Into Edifice

Interlopers, believed to be Bolshe-
Wiki, jeered and yelled yesterday when
Archbishop Alexander began to ad-
minister the Sacrament at the Cathe-
dral of St. Nicholas, 19 East Ninety
seventh Street, where 1900 persons
had gathered for a prayer service for
the restoration of the Mosque of St.
Sophia, at Constantinople, as an or
thodox church.
Archbishop Alexander continued
calmly with the service. Worshipers
standing nearest to the dsturbe rs
seized them and hustled them out. Five
were elected The service was held
under police guard because of attacks
made recently upon Russian churches
by Bolsheviki but the services of the
police were not necessary.
Abbot Patrick said after the service
that the Bolsheviki even had put poison
in the chalice at the Church of the
TRANSPORTATION, 235 East Seventeenth
Street. in the hope of causing the death
of priest. They had broken into the
church to do it, he said, but had stolen
nothing.
Canon Ingram N. w. Irvine drank
some of the sacramental wine with such
painful consequences that he realized
that he had swallowed some caustic
fluid and took immediate antidotes
which prevented a serious result.
