It’s a Hen oft a Thing, Ain’t It? ‘ Father Knickerbocker had to-day for his guests more than 1,000 farmer Dboys and girls of Ohio, They have been on the go since last Monday, when they left Cincinnati on four spe- cial trains under the aegis of the “Buckeye Corn Special Tour.” The outing of the young people was a reward for their efficiency in agri- cultural pursuits and domestic scl- ence, Accompanying the embryo farmers and farmeresses are several hundred aduits, their fathers and mothers, big sisters and brothers and other guar- @iane. They have been to Washing- tom and Philadelphia, and came to New York this morning to see real lige and @ real city. They have been @ estate of nervous delight all day. From the train they were taken for to the Waldorf-Astoria, the house at the cross roads of’ ‘venue and Thirty-four Lane.| Boldt gave them all they t—mush an’ corn cakes an’ ’ hamaneggs an’ hominy—| then were taken up the treet to St. Patrick’s Cathe- it was the biggest church the and girls had ever seen and Ht Han F é a : filled them with awe, Then the party, two thousand strong, went to the Grand Central they sald, it was the * way from Cincinnati, but this sub- way was the longest tunnel and had them all beaten. They finally got to the Bronx and that seemed more Vhomelike. Plenty of space and lots of alr. Some good farms out there, they found, agd much intensive farming. ¢ They went to the Zoo and laughed at the monkeys, fed them peanuts and made faces at the lions and tigers. The lions and tigers made fearful ves back at them and roared, The giraffes twisted their necks out of all proportion and the camels humped themselves in honor of the boys and girls from the Buck- Pi eye State. The hyena laughed, while the ostriches did the turkey trot. | ‘They have no animals and birds like | that on the farms of Ohio. 5 Delegates from the Chamber of Commerce and an escort of police were waiting for the travelling farm- ers and farmeresses at the Brooklyn Bridge. The boys and girls of Ohio never had seen such a fine lot of con- stables and the members of the Town Council were all handsome. But the) 4 Brooklyn Bridge got them, They said there were no bridges like that over the Scloto, the Mahoning or the Mus- kingum rivers. Even the big bridge over the Ohio from the Buckeye corn belt fo the Kentucky barleycorn barns wasn't in it with this East River apan. It was something beyond agri- cultural pursuits or domestic science. ‘Why, it was so long they had to take @ street car to cross it.

Ho speaks only a word or two of Eng- lish himself. “Here you are devoted to the struggle for the materlal things of life. You would be happier and also more successful if you con- cerned yourselves to a greater degree with the things of the spirit. Yet your civilization is plastic, receptive, not fixed and settled as in the capitals of Europe. That, is why I hope to in- troduce to you some of the ideals by which Japan has become great.” HOW A PROPHET OF THE ORIENT DRESSES AND LOOKS, ‘The diviner is tallor than the aver- age Japanese and ho has both mus- tache and beard.

The gods know all, and when I pray to them for the man or woman who comes to me, they take pity and speak through me. The mortal is helped and comforted if Bp Heeds the counsel offered by the gods.” TOOLS OF HIS TRADE AND HOW HE USES THEM. As might be expected, Prof. Ko- dama has nothing to do with the methods of the ordinary interrogator of fate. He scorns tea leaves or cards or hand reading, or even the crystal, He can work in any drawing room. He burns incense, but that, he says, is to induce an atmosphere of rever- ence. His divination apparatus consists simply of bits of wood. There are fifty long splinters of bamboo, ton multiples of five, because he says tho human body is naturally divided into ten sections, with five parts to a nec tion, For instance, we have two arms, two legs and a trunk, and also we have eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth and ears. Thon there is @ little upright frame of wood, perhaps five inches Square, with variously shaped open- ings, symbolizing the sun god, tho moon god and others. There are six. six-sided wooden sticks about five inches in length, polished black, with | geometrical designs in red painted on| several of the sides. Three of these sticks symbolize Heaven and three earth. “Asin your churches,” “you have your pictured your he explained, windows and tatues to remind you of di ity, I have my wooden symbols. With them spread out carefully on the table in front of him, Prof. Ko- dama waits for a question. When it is asked he takes all the bamboo splinters except one out of the wooden vase that contains them. The one is the symbol of the all-powerful god tl includes all the others. The forty-nine splinters grasped loowely in his hand represent mankind, Holding them to his lips, he gazes intently at the lone one in the vase. Then he sbuts his eyes and his lips move In quick prayer. If the response does not come immediately the splint. erg may be placed in contact with the lttle wooden frame, or counted and separated into two or more groups, while the cube shaped pieces of wood are turned, In a few minutes, how- ever, Prof. Kodama ts enabled to give hig response, “I look at the symbol of the’ god, is his only explanation, “until I am hypnotized by it.
