PARIS, december %.
y Mosul. the Yezidis have lived
1000 years in conflict with their
neighbors. In facial contour,
L they resemble strikingly the old
Assyrian types on ancient AS
syrian monuments. They worship the
powers of darkness and evil.
There are 10000 of these devil wor
shippers now in Mosul; and the strange
thing is that they have maintained
their cult unchanged through the cen
turtles.
They recognize good spirits and Il
beneficent God but believe the bad
to be more powerful-so, they pay trib-
ute to the bad.
Every year, with gorgeous cere-
monies, they sacrifice a bull to the
powers of darkness, and there are
grim tales of virgin maidens killed in
tribute to the devil, in a hidden noun
tain temple filled with old Assyrian
glory, which no western man has seen.
The Yezidis are known to be rich
in gold and jewels. But none are
worn or sold. All are used in decora-
ton of their temples and. especially
the images of their wicked gods
Nor do the Yezidis make the devil
an ugly being. He is represented for
their worship as a golden peacock;
and the workmanship of this idol is
said to be almost incomparably beau
tiful
During most of the year the pea
cock remains ensconced in glory in
the mountain temple, amid flashing
Jewels. The rest of the year the
golden bird is borne from place to
place to be worshiped. The people
must bow to the ground when it is
brought near to them, and may look
at it directly only when afar off.
The general places of worship are
in groves outside the temples, at mid
night. Sufficient to say, the cere-
monies are more in the nature of
| orgies than anything that could be
called religious.
Just the opposite" explain the
Yezidis, like everything in the world!'
Now, the YeZidis and their Satan
worship have occupied considerable
space in the European press of late,
doubtless because of the very great
prominence of Mosul In world politics.
A powerful section of the English
| public Will certainly, 1t is said, raise a
storm of opposition to "any giving
of countenance to deliberate worship
| Of the enemy of God and man." Be-
cause these same Yezidis, 80 900 strong
| and holding aloof from all neighbors,
| are not primitive ju-ju victims, as in
Central Africa, but they carry on con-
tinuously from the oldtime Mani
| cheans-most powerful underminers
of the early Christian Church.
But the most astonishing part Is
yet to come. Now that the Yezidis
Satan-worship is the item Of the hour,
| 1t turns out that the Yezidis are not
alone-similar mummeries persist in
Europe itself. They have never ceased

Test for Pearls.

"A NEW process for distinguishing
between natural and cultured
pearls was described before the French
Academy recently.
The method. very simple and mex
pensive, requires the inserting of a
tube in the hole bored in the
pearl for beading purposes. Within
the tube are two little mirrors very
close together. at right angles to each
other and at an angle of 45 degrees
with the sides of the tube
When light is thrown into the tube
on the first mirror it is reflected OH
the second mirror if the pearl is com
posed of concentric layers. as is the
case with all natural pearls II the
core of the pearl is not composed of
concentric spheres the ray Of light in
