TO CONTROL SPIRITS OF EVIL
Chinese Have Distinct Object in
Erecting Pagodas, and Country
Is Garlanded With Them.
mms,
Chinese pagodas are the work of
the Buddhist church almost exclusiv-
ly. The most beautiful specimens are
in the Yangtse valley, where pagodas
are the most numerous. BEvery impor-
tant Chinese and Manchurian city is
garlanded with them. From the walls
of Pekin a dozen pagodas and towers
may be counted within the city, and
with a good glass a half-dozen may
be seen rising from the surrounding
fplain. i
Chinese have appropriated the pa-
goda as a counterpoise to evil, and,
use it subject to their rules of geo-,
mancy. At a city in Tung, in the Pekin
plain, a region in past years visited;
by earthquakes, there is a prominent
pagoda, which at one time had 1,000
bronze bells suspended from its cor-
nices, most of which are still in place.
The people have this story of its con-
struction: :
A water owl lives underground at
this place, and when he shakes his
tail it causes earthquakes. Geo-'
mancers located the end of his tail, and’
the pagoda was built on it to hold it
down. However, they could not lo-
cate his head, and thus he is still able
to wink his eyes, which causes trem-
blings of the earth. When his eye-
lids have been accurateiy located a
second pagoda will be built.
~ Pagodas range in height from 20
to over 200 feet, and are of various |
shapes, such as round, square, hexag- {
onal, ete. They always have an odd |
number of stories, ranging usually
from seven to nine, and sometimes |
with eleven, or even thirteen.
ORGAN WAS ONCE UNDER BAN
Scottish Presbytery, Less Than a Cen-
tury Ago, Declared Its Playing }
Contrary to Law.
ee.
wv
The organ, as an addition to the
musical serviee in the Presbyterian
church, was under a ban less than &
hundred years ago, according to a
writer in the Manchester Guardian, re-
calling the first organ made by James
Watt. It was a small chamber organ,
in form like a harmonium, which he,
built for his own use. When he moved
to Birmingham the organ was left be-
hind and came into the possession of
the minister and session of St. An-
drew’s church, Glasgow, of which
Watt had been a member. The instru-
ment was used for weekly choir prac-
tices, but was shrouded under a green
baize cover on Sundays, as though in
disgrace. In 1806 permission to use itd
was refused by the city council. Then |
one Sunday afternoon, by pre-arrange-
ment, the church attempted to use the |
organ without the council’s consent. |
An organist from a neighboring Epis-
copal church was called in. He played
the organ while the last psalm was
sung. There was so much excitement
over the affair that a bitter contro-
versy followed. The presbytery de-
clared it was contrary to law and the |
constitution of the established church,
and it was prohibited in all churches
and chapels within their bounds. Sixty |
years later St. Andrew’s church got its |
first organ peaceably.
Had Gas Mask for Watch. ”
If the Germans had had a better |
sense of efficiency and had spent more |
time on the things that really counted, |
they might have fared better. For in-
stance, many German officers wasted |
hours hanging on their dugout walls |
curtains and “God Bless Our Home" |
pictures, which were not at all ap-|
preciated when they were captured by
the allies. y
One careful German soldier had a |
gas mask made for his watch. This |
energy was wasted, for the watch is |
now in America. i
The gas mask is simply an outside |
case—one face of it glass so that the |
time will show through it—which
fastens tightly about the watch and
allows nothing to go in or eut.
Of course a watch does not need a,
respirator, nose-clip, mouthpiece or
chemical box. — Popular Mechanics
