to avenge the wrong.
What could he do? How could
he make Chuang suffer?
He would commit suicide! His
blood would stain Chuang's door

haunt Chuang's dwelling.
Hsu obtained a pair of scissors,
went to Chuang's home and drove
the sharp point into his abdomen.
Just then Chuang Erh appeared

JAPANESE FARMERS
PRAY FOR RAIN
gcunme rs Unprecedented
Drought Has Revived Primi-
tive Custom

OSAKA, Jap5n, Oct. 15.-(By
The Associated Press a summer
of unprecedented drought has
brought to light strange and print
tive customs among che farmers OF
the countryside around Osaka.
So great has become the menace
to crops that there has been suppl
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 welP' in the precincts of the
famous Ora shrine, near Osaka.
Seven men are chosen by lot from
among the people Of the village in
which the shrine is located. These
offer prayers for a week, living
apart in the shrine precincts, anC
purifying themselves by daily rites
Of absolution. Then a fence d
dry grass is built around the sacred
well and the opening begins. Thc
well is buried deep in the earth
Before its stone cover can b
reached three boxes, each contain
ing a prayer in ancinent Sanskrit
relics of the early DAYS Of Buddn
ism in Japan, have to be uneartned
When the stone cover of the well i
removed, according to the belief, al
ineXhaustible flood of cold waite
gushes over the brim, the sky be
comes overcast and rain falls heavil
How effcacious the prayers hav
been in this instance is not We
known.

SCIENTISTS TO

WASHINGTON, De. 29.-Twicc in
TIE last five months have scientists
and worhmen at the Bureau of Stand
?lds cndeavored to produce a 60 inch
DISC Of perfect on zeal glass, and twice
they failed to accom- pl.sh this very
difficult task. U~liismayed. they are
preparing for the third effort. 1t can

about which TO build Il wonderfully CT
ficiert telescope for astronomical OBJ
servation.
TO cast such a disc calls for 5000
pounds Of raw material, compounded
with almost unearthly cXactitude. Each
ingredient must be absolutely pure;
glass, silicon, sand and chemicals. The
peculiar property of optical glass is to
transmit light rays absolutely without
distortion. When finally evolved it
must be clear Of every clouding, dis
cOloratioa, or visual obstruction. Fur
thermore, it must be unified, Of a single
density throughout.
The ingredients are mixed by ma
chinery, given their primary coalesc.ne
in the preliminary furnace, and then
for five weeks are passed from furnace

never even momentarily unmatched.
When the ingredients have reached a

ELECTRIC RAY !.
BRINGS HEALTH
New Jersey inventor Be-
Iicves He Has Found
Healing Light
(By NEA Service}

ALPINE. n. j., Dcc .27.-From the
queer doorways Of the white, cubist-
shaped mystery labs Iatory" Of the
jersey Palisades there has stepped a
young scientist with what he believes to
be the key to the fountain Of health.
DIR. J. Clawson Burnett is his name
and, with J. RI. Hallberg, an engineer,
he has been for two years carrying on
seer t cx7erimentations seeking a fun
damcrtal cleo rical law governing life.
They nave tried to prove the practic-
ability of the atomic theory as applied
to The human body.
In thi respect The laboratory seems
ID have been haunted by the ghost Of
the late Dr.. Albert Abrams, Ct San
Francisco, whose clectronic reaction
machines created a Juror in medical
circles. "A Scientific American %investi-
gator declared it impractical shortly af-
ter Abrams death.
But DR.. Burnett has contrived a new
oscillioclast. designed to heal disease by
electric force. and has had the co-opera-
tion Of an expert electrical engineer.
They are going to demonstrate their de-
vice before scientists in Chicago and in
vite strictest investigation.
DR.. Burnett declares he has no COM
mercial interest. He is quite wealthy,
II science declares his device to be val
uable the world is welcome to it.
I'm constructing our machine we
worked on the theory that light is OF
primary Importance" he explained.
Therefore vibrations are Of primary
Importance. | think We are at liberty
to assume that the whole body is affect
ed by lighter electromagnetic waves.
II think that in time we will be. able
to diagnose and cure disease by these
electromagnetic vibrations. Medicine,
with all due respect to it, is still an art.
By means Of electricity we hope to make
exact diagnosis. and cure by exact
science. We hope to find a fundamental
law governing life.
I'VE have no idea that we can end
disease. Man is too well satisfied with
the way he lives to make that possible.
