Osaka, Japan, Oct. IA summer
 of unprecedented drought has
 brought to light strange and primi- tive customs among the farmers of the countryside around Osaka.
 So great has become the menace

 cation to the rain gods, used only in the greatest emergency, and re- sorted to only twice in the last 70 years. This is the "opening of the sacred well" in the precincts Of the famous Oira shrine, near Osaka.
 Seven men are chosen by lot from among ;he people of the village in which the shrine is located. These
 offer prayers for a week, living apart
 in the shrine precincts, and purify
 ing themselves by daily rites. of ab- solution. Then a fence of dry grass
 is built around the sacred well and
 the opening begins. The well is
 buried deep in the earth. Before it's stone cover can be reached three boxes, each containing a prayer in
 ancient Sanskrit relics ot the early
 days of Buddhism in Japan, have
