Moon SnpcrNtltlona. The eclipse of the moon is full of portent to the Macedonian Mohammedans. It Indicates bloodshed. It is met with reports of flrearins. and the imams call from the minarets the faithful to public prayers in the mosques. This recalls In a striking manner the practices of many savage and barbaric nations. The great tin tions of Asia, such ns the Hindoos and the Chinese, still cling to the belief in the eclipse monster Th:' latter meet it with prayers, like the Turks. But even in civilized Europe, both ancient and modern, one finds numerous proofs of this superstition. The Romans came to the succor of the afflicted moon liy flinging firebrands into the uir. by the blare of trumpets and the clang of brazen pots. The superstition survived through the middle ages into a very late period. France. Wales and Ireland offer many instances as late as the seventeenth century. A Temple of Divorce. So long ago is 1250 the wife of a Japanese regent obtained from the government permission to rescue women from the hands of cruel busbands. The means she took were very simple. A new sect of Buddhism known as the Zen was Just then being formed. In the temple of the Zen sanctuary was established for fleeing wives. When they wished separation or divorce from their husbands, they could claim protection under the wing of the temple. Once across the threshold, government officials would not be allowed to interfere, still less the furious husbands. This “temple of divorce" was supreme umpire on matters of matrimonial disagreement. The practice of the "privilege of the temple" was maintained for over iMMJ years. Facts About Animal Structure. The complexity of animal structure is marvelous. A caterpillar contains more than 2.000 muscles. In a human body are some 2.000.000 perspiration glands, communicating with the surface by ducts, having a total length of some ten miles, while that of the arteries. veins and capillaries must be very great. The blood contains millions of corpuscles, each a structure in itself. The rods In the retina, which are supposed to be the ultimate recipients of light, are estimated at 30.000.000. and Meinert lias calculated that the gray matter of the brain is built of at least 600,000.000 cells. The Anima In In Heaven. According to the Mohammedan’s belief. there are ten animals in heaven. These form th» following strange menagerie: The calf offered by Abrabam. the ox of Moses, the whale of Jonah, the ass of Balaam, the ram of Ishmael, the ant of Solomon, the camel of the prophet Salech. the cuckoo of Balkis. the dog of the seven sleepers and Al Borak. the animal which carried Mohammed to heaven.
