STATUES THAT HOLD SPIRITS
Buddhists Firmly Believe That Souls
of Long Departed Sages Are
Present in Images.
Marco I'olo, the celebrated Venetian
traveler, with Ids two uncles, waa the
first European to travel in China. In
the gilded statue erected to his memory
In Soo-Chow, China, the Chinese be
lieve his spirit still resides. Accord
ing to Chinese superstition, a fly or
fcpldcr Is the means by which the
epirlts of the dead are eouxed back
to earth to occupy their statues. Five
bundled similar statues, life size, Uue
the walls of a dimly lighted room in
the Buddhist temple of that ancient
city. They contain the spirits of the
Knees they represent, devout Buddhists
believe.
A spirit Is unable to enter a statue
unless another und freshly liberated
spirit Is there to receive It, say the
priests. Through a door in the back
of a new statue, therefore, a spider or
fly Is Introduced. The door Is then
sealed and the Insect is left to smother.
Its spirit, fluttering about inside the
statue, is taken possession of by the
aoul of the long-departed sage. Marco
I'olo was brought back in this way,
the priests say. Worshipers burn In
cense before the statue and seek com
munion with the spirit of the alien who
dwelt so long In China, and even ruled
as governor of one of the provinces.
The Patriotic Spirit.
Animated by ibis spirit the par
tisan Is enlarged Into patriot. Before
il the lines of party sink Into hiizy
obscurity; and p hmlr.on whjch
bounds efir view reaches on every side
to the uttermost verge1 of the great
Republic. It is a spirit that exalts
humanity, und Imbued with it the
souls of men soar Into the pure air
of unselfish devotion ro the public
welfare, it liclited with a smile the
cheek of ('itrtius as he rode Into the
ciilf; It guided the hand of Arisiides
as he sadly wrme upon the sin II the
sentence of his own banishment; It
dwell in H e frozen earthworks of Val
ley l'ncire; ami from time to t ine it
has been an Inmate of the halls of
legislation. Thoma I. Payard.
Story of the High Heel.
The hitrh-heeled shoe was intro
duced in the Middle ages, when both
men and women took to il. m
Man, however, soon found that he
could not live a man's life and do a
man's work while wearing high heels,
and so resumed his low-heeled shoes,
leaving high heels to the Indies, with
whom they have always been popu
lar. The modern high heel is, In Irs way,
a triumph of art, being of wood, which
is lighter than leather and keeps its
shape. The heel contains a spring,
which adds to the grace of Its wear
er's walk. As the Instep is raised the
figure Is thrown slightly forward, and
a pronounced elegance is the result.
But It most he admitted the high heels,
though Improving the appearance, do
not always Improyj tb physique of
their wearers, and are frequently
the cause of Ill-health.

Chinese Have Fondness for Birds.
lu addition to using birds and their

Why Insects Can Walk on Water.
What makes it possible for the long
legged water flea to run right over the
surface of a sheet of water? If we
observe It closely, says "Science Sitt
ings," we See that the end of each
of its six long legs m-es a slight de
pression where it rests upon the sur
face. The surface is elastic in fact
and acts like a springy mattress. . The
physical basis of this mode of action
may be explained as follows: The
separate molecules of water cohere
with considerable flnniress and there
fore offer a certain degree of resist
ance to penetration by any solid mat
terbut this Is true only in case the
body cannot be wet, I. e., If It has a
composition like that of the fats. This
resistance is a result of the surface
tension of the liquid, which acts like
a stretched membrane. This is suffi
cient to support the weight of the wa
ter flea, though it would be practi
cally negligible for ourselves.
