Strange But True By P. H;-I:-aeArtbar

The South Sea fire walking cera- mony is one of the. strangest ceremonies in the world, and one which is still performed on most of the islands in the South Pacific. Just how is this done? Well. to begin with. the natives heat the rocks for two days and nights before the ceremony starts. Not only are the rocks hot-they are red hot and over these cer- tain of the natives walk bare- footed while the heat waves and shimmers about them. Why do they do this? Because they be- lieve that by this ritiiai they are purified.

Those who have witnessed this amazing feat declare that no odor of burning flesh assailed their nostrils, and when handled alter the fire walking ceremony the na- tives feet were "cold as ice." Scientific men have visited the island to witness and pass judg- ment on the scenes, but, they still can't explain how the fire walkers make themselves immune to in- jury.

A little after midnight on Sept. 7. 1950. heavy rain fell at Leices- ter, Mass. When the rain stop- ped. residents were amazed to see frogs unlimited leaping their way down Paxton Avenue.

Some parents roused their chil- dren from slumber and the small fry scooped up the frogs in bas- kctfuls.

Where did they come from? Did a high wind blow them to Lei- caster? "impossible", said the people of Leicester. "as no wlnrl was blowing during the storm."

Weather Bureau officials sub- stantiated their story and sug- gested that ponds might have broken their banks and washed

the frogs into the road. The resi- dents said "no". They examined the ponds and found them in ap- pie pic order.

But all agreed that l.!icesier had frogs. unlimited that night. and if they didn't come from the clouds where did they come from? If any of my readers can come up with the right answer to this strange phenomenon the people of Leicester would like to hear from you.

In July, 1924. Peter Carlson. his wife and four brothers. left Colorado for California, in a sort of covered wagon, taking along all their earthly possessions.

When they'd reached the Utah Trail it was late night and being tired they set. up camp in a small gully near a spot called "Steam- boat Springs".

Around 3 a.m. Mrs. Carlson woke up everybody and told her husband to hitch up the horses and move on as she sensed great danger if they stayed where they were.

The party hadn't gone half a mile when they heard a distant rumbling like thunde and look- ing back into the gully they saw a great wall of water come racing down over their camp site. There had been a cloudburst in the hills. Had they remained where they were all would have drowned. What warned Mrs. Carlson of the coming danger? All she re- membered was waking suddenly from is sound sleep and feeling a great urgency to move out of the gully. if any of my readers have had similar experiences I would like to hear about it.

These Arabian earth cakes are supposed to relieve a patient of any kiri of sickness. In America we find earth-eaters in the city of St. Louis as well as in some other places.

I walked around the garden to- day and found a few bulbs that are up too soon, so they will be covered with some sand and earth. It is best to cover them with something . spruce boughs. old sawdust, even ashes have been used here when nothing else was available. The snow has covered the garden for weeks but from now until danger from frost is past; is a difficult time for plants. if drainage is good no harm will come to the hardy perennials.

It is a remembering time as We walk around the borders and it is possible to garden in our thoughts. and spring seems nearer. and even summer

Seed orders should be sent to the nurseryman this month to allow for the busy weeks ahead. and the better varieties may be in short supply. so to be sure of hav- ing your order filled send it in early in the season. It is good to know that some islanders are planning their gardens now, and a letter was received today from a lady who visited the garden last

summer and saw the Clematis panicuita blooming with lovelv fragrant flowers. She writes that

she would like to have one of these vines growing in her garden and wLshes the name of the nurs- ery where she can obtain this vine. A letter has been sent in reply

i I think it is safe to say that nvery garden visitor who saw this fragrant vine which blooms for weeks in the autumn loved it 'ot' its green. henltliy foliage but most of all for its fragrance. It is in hardy vine and has lived in the garden for years. It seems to need a sunny place and rich deeply du:' soil with good drainage. It is cut back each spring to a few inches and very soon lnvcly green foliage appears. . . All the Clematis ari- wonderful vines but the -hybrid varieties are a little more difficult to grow.

The panicultn variety is loved because of its fragrance and be- cause it blooms in the iiutinnn when many other plants have finished for the season. When aar- den visitors come at this time it certainly fills in imp in the bwlhv of the garden.

By its compelling language, we are made aware of the scrupul- ous attention which should be given any part of a service of worship. 'But in spite of an earnest desire to "give unto the Lord the glory due His name", some of us have failed to offer anything like our best. Many a sanctuary lacks strength and beauty because of shabby and uninspired flower ar- rangements.
