THE HOLY FIRE OF THE HINDUS Produced By Friction of One Piece of Wood Against Another. Fire is obtained for the tmportant| Hindu ceremony of Yanga by a cur- ious method, says a writer in the| Strand, matches not being considered | holy. The priest holding the two ends of a piece of cord coiled around a vertical rod, the lower end of which fits into a grove cut in the block of wood in which the‘rod rests, by a churning motion causes it to rotate very rapidly, it being meanwhile kept in position by the second priest by means of a horizontal handle with a hole in which the rod turns. The friction between the rod and the lower block of wood after a short time sets fire to the latter. This fire, | by timely nourishment, is developed into a glorious flame. The instru- ment is considered very sacred by the erthodox Hindus. They, of course, kept mumbling all the while. Daily Thought.
