I;ma anal Brlitriou Orrmoiij ikat
Occur in the riiuiiiiiiyu.
Oce of tiie most remarkable and B
sa.loual religious eeremtiules In Use
ni.oie uf ludia takes place annually at
Kaiu, iu tbe Hiu:ala-i8.
1 rctiu a cliiT overbaii";in a prectpi
tous t:orj;e tsereral buudred feet deee
f rope is stretched, and iasbfntpd te
a strusia; s:ake ou the opposite aide of
the ravine. Tbe rope is of great leiijrth,
nearly feet, and when It ia
stretched taut tbe upper end wiM be
several hundred feet higher than tbe
lower end.
Town this terrible iiiellue tbe victim
or performer slides, tbe precaution
haviii been taken to wet the rope te
prevent it from catching fire from tbe
frictiou.
This descent is eCTected as follows:
The performer a,tii astride on a kind
of ruiijfb woodeu saddle fitted with
1 olets through which tbe rope ia
threaded, wbiie to bia legs are at
ti chid bagR blind with eand to enable
him to niaiutaiu an upright position
iluriui; bia descent and also to increase
the momentum. The lower end of the
rope is wound round witb rugs aud
carpets to prevent the jheri, as the
performer la called, from dashing bia
hraiiig out against tbe pole to which,
the rope ia faatened.
The lirsf few hundred yards of the
descent ia accompliished with light
ning velocity, as is indicated by tbe
stream of smoke which follows hie
wake. The incline theu diminishing,
the pace becomes slower and slower,
n that hy the time he reaches the goal
In ia able to stop himself without dan
ger. The underlying motive of this curi
ous ceremony is that if tbe flight le
safely accomplished prosperity ia as
sured to the crops for that year. This
sentimeiii miluially minimizes tbe
danger of the feat, ns It ia to every
body's Interest that It should be safe
ly accomplished. Irdeed, a similar mo
tive Is at the bottom of pertain relig
ious festivals iu Roman Catholic coun
tries. A well known examplp nf this is Ihe
fete of the Siopplo at Florence, when
;i dove, albeit an artificial one, per
forins an aerial flialit of a somewhat
similar nature on a wire stretched from
the siniit lit of the high altar of ihe
cathedral to an ox wagon filled witb
lire'.corks which Is stationed in the
front of thp west door. The Himalay

That Is nhottt nil he can do, says a
