BENARES ORDEAL BY FIRE.
Hindus Walk Unharmed Over a Bed
of Live Coals Before Mis. Besant
and Others.
From tho Lnhnie Civil Military Go70tte
A contioveisy having arisen "n somo
of the papers about the iccent per
foimnnco of the Fiio Ceremony at Ro
narcs, an account of what actually
took place, by an English onlooker,
may bo of Interest to tho readers of
the Civil and Mllltniy Gazette, it was
during tho recent convention of tho
Theosophlcal society that, a good many
of us who aio Intel ested In the life
of India below tho sutface being pies
ent. somo Hindu friends ai ranged with
cortnln sect or Shlvnlto Hindus, who
claim tho power of rcndoilng fire harm
less, to glvo an exhibition of their
powets. Accordingly a tiench was dug
In the grounds of the Tagoie Villa
about 15 feet long by 1, and this was
filled with logs of wood, which wore,
left to blaze all day. In tho evening
tho trench was illlcd by a thick layer
of glowlngcoalsglvlugoff a tremendous
heat. At 7 p. 111 wo tepalied to the
scene of action. Our party consisted of
Mrs. Resant, Countess Wachtmelster,
Dr. Richardson, late professor of
chcmlstt y at University College, nrls
tol; Dr. Pascal, a French doctor of
medicine: Mr. Rertrnm Kolghtley, bar-lister-at-law;
Miss Lillian Edger. M.
A.: Col. Olcott, and others. Chairs woro
arranged for us on 11 kind of dais
formed of tho earth thrown out of the
trench nnd about eight feet from It.
This was the nearest point to tho big
lire nt which ono tould bear the
scorching boat. At our back, and sur
1 minding tho trench, wnB a, dense hut
ordorly crowd of hundreds of Hindus.
All waited with eager expectation. At
Inst a hubbub approaching from tho
gates of tho villa announced tho ar
riva of tho procession.
It consisted of a chief priest, who
presided, cairylng a sword, two others
who woro going to pass through tho
flames, and an imago in a glass canopy
I borne along by others, Tho leader in-
tlmated that his two colleagues would
pnss through tho ilcry furnace, and
afterward anybody who liked of tho
malo pcrstinslon might follow them
through tinhnrmed, but no women were
permitted to go through. Then ensued
a most extraordinary and, In some
respects, pnlnful spectacle. It Is a
doctrine of Hinduism that alt tho func
tions of nature, llio, rain, etc., arc pre
sided over by nature spirits. This par
ticular sect of Hindus claims tn have
preserved the secret of being able tn
control tho flro spirits so that t
tho time thoy nio unable to mi
Whatever may be tho explanni.
these aro tho focts.
Certain mvMIc ceremonies hav uiH
been performed, and cocoanuts having
been tossed Into tho flames, tho two
Junior priests apparently became pos
sessed. With frantic shrieks and cries,
thoy passed twice round the blazing
trench, preceded by the chief priest
with his swoid and followed by the
brilliantly Illuminated canopy. Then,
still In a frenzy painful to behold, thoy
plunged up to their nnkles In tho
scorching furnnce and passed back
waid and forwnid several times, tho
red-hot coals and sparks scattering
about their feet. The crowd followed
In their wake, first one or two indi
viduals, until tho others, gaining con
fidence nnd caught by enthusiasm,
rushed through In hundreds, oven lit
tle children of 4 nnd 5 venrs old run
ning up and down tho trench over tho
burning coals exactly as If It had been
a soft cat pet All were unhurt. Among
those who ventured was a bi other of
one of our paity. This gentleman,
whose name I am prepared to give pil
vately, walked itbrough the trench
twice very slowly, and described tho
sensation afterward as having been
like walking over hot sand.
A skeptic among us having pro
pounded tho theory that tho feet of
natives were covered by an integu
ment so dense that It was proof even
against live coals. Dr. Pascal care
fully examined tho feet of this wit
ness Immediately nftei his perfoim
ance, and found the skin of the soles
wns of the normal thickness of Euro
pean feet nnd that they wore un
touched by tho fire. T saw one man
deliberately pause In tho middle of
tho trench to pick up a handful of tho
tlnmlng embers, which ho then enrrled
through to the side. A linen turban
which roll from some one's head lav
on the coals without Igniting, as did
the cocoanuts. Tho priests lemalnod
on the sceno for about twenty minutes,
during which time tho two nppaiently
possessed men were held by others.
After they left the crowd wns advised
to cease experimenting with the fir.
and no more passed over. At this
stage Dr. Richardson and nnsolf left
our seats and attempted to approach
to the brink of the fiery gulf, but tho
heat was so great that we had to tu-n
back.
