DROUTH IN CHINA TRAGEDIES RAINFALL Latter Comes at Time When
 Ceremony Takes Place

Picking, Aug. 1s.-The first rainfall of any consequence in Picking and vt- cinity during the present year occur rcd May 21. It rained axain May aa. The drouth was the most prolonged for several years.
 There is little of the unusual in .b. above facts. Springs are apt to be dry in North China. The noteworthy feature is the fact that the rainf,u coincided with a solemn ceremony performed in Picking to Yu shen. the god of rain.
 Prompted by the distress of aSricui- turists whose crops have been all but ruined by the drouth. Peking official and religious bodies issued an invita- ton to the officials of shantuns to send to the capital a historical iron tablet of the Ming Dynasty which is said to have record for producing rain. According to story which is widely accepted by the Chinese, a magistrate of Hantanhsien, Shantung, in the days of the Ming emperors, became so concerned over the suffer- inss of his people because of drouth that he cast himself into a we'll as a sacrifice to the gods. On the fol- lowing day rain fell and the drouth was broken.
 Out of gratitude for their deliver ance the people built a temple and enshrined in 1t an iron tablet in- scribed with the name of their mar tyr and a record of his deed. The then emperor, when the facts were related to him, was so impressed that he conferred upon the magistrates name the title of Yu shen. Tn the years following the tablet has been brought at intervals to Peking when the necessity for appealing to the rain god became acute, as in the pres ent instance.
 A day or two ago the tablet arrived. It was reverently placed in yellow sedan chair, relic of the imperial days, and with much ceremony borne to a temple inside the Forbidden city. There a ceermony was enacted before fl with incense and kowtowing exact ly as was done in the imperial days. Officials of the boy empericr's court snd of the republic participated side by side.
