down at some length in this docu-

Of deyouring quantities OF raw

"Walpurgis Nacht is the night OF

evil spirits and elementals are re-
leased to hold hefl's own high fes-

night the peasants of. the Near
East. in .isoiated parts. retire to
their homes before sunset, and
nothing will induce them to venture
forth for fear of what may happen
to them. such is their Arm belief
in these super.p hysicals and ele-
