Walkers in Fire.

Walking barefoot on burning en- bers is a religious ceremony still per formed in certain parts of the world, Lieut.. Col. St. Johnston found 1t in the Pacific, and describes 1t in a recent book on the islanders. The Lancet LondOn) in reviewing this book cites the words of Virgil in the Eleventh Book of the Aeneid, who gives an ac- count of a fire-Walking ceremony held at SOracte in honor of Apollo:
 "HlghesI of gods, Apollo, guardian of holy SOracte, thou whose chief wOr- shippers we are, thou for whom the pile of burning pine wood is fed, while we upbOrne by faith press our foot steps in the glowing embers.'
 PIiny says that the power to walk through the blazing wood embers was confined to one family, the Hirpi, and Servius, the commentator, quotes Narro as saying that they rubbed theil feet with drug. So we find an iden tical ceremony in primitive Italy and ir Polynesia.
