WHIRLING RAPIDS IN JAPAN
Waters Of the koxu River Afford At
traction for voyauers Who Arc
7 Seeking Excitement.

Most voyagers, says a writer In the
Wide World Magazine. are anxious to
avoid rnpids, whirlpools, and swift cur
rents. Yet in Japan passengers are
regularly taken through rapids OF the
Kozu river just for the sake OF the
excitement the journey affords.
For some distance this river flows
between steep banks beautifully cloth
cd In yerdure. Being cooped up In a
marrow defile, the river gains consider
ably In speed, and presently 1t plunges
over a series Of rocks, forming innum-
cradle rapids, whirlpoois, and eddies.
To take q boat through these trou'
bled waters demands the utmost skill
and nerve. Some enterprising native
hoatmen, however, conceived the Idea
ol running a boat through the rapids
as an attraction to sensation-loving
foreign visitors. Several times day,
provided passengers are forthcoming
the little boat braves the rapids. The
.navigators are very skillful, as they
need to be, for the small craft Is dash
ed this way and that, while the spray
of the troubled waters Is sent hyine
over the occupants. To say the least
this boat journey provides nm exciting
thrill, and the boatmen reap quite Q
good harvest.

WERE SYMBOLS OF CREATION
Among Ancient Egyptians the Beetle
Was Believed to Be the Form
of the Sun God.

A scarab is the representation OF
the sacred beetle found on Egyptian
gems, coins, mummies, obelisks and
works of art. The appearance and
rapid multiplication Of beetles in the
mud left on the subsidence Of the
Nile gave rise to the belief in their
spontaneous generation, and they be-
came the symbol of creation and crea-
tive power. In their circular shape
and the bright golden tints of their
wing cases they were thought to re-
semble the shape and luster of the
sun and thus were taken to be the
forms In which the sun god appeared.
Scarabs were cut In stones and enl-
ployed as seals and amulets. They
were bored through their length SO
that they could be strung like beads
After the commingling Of the Egyptian
with other races, agnostics and Chris
tians interpreted the meaning Of these
gems In accordance with their own
beliefs. Those of the most ancient
period, such as are found on mummies,
are inscribed with the names of the
kings held in highest veneration.
Thutmosis III, Rameses II and Ameno-
phis III. and frequently with some
hieroglyphic symbol. The larger OF
them have some short religious or
historic Inscription on their under
side.
