WEIRD FUNERAL CEREMONY.
Obsequies of prominent Chinaman
Out West Attract Attention.
"Gone. Gone. Into the shades has
our cousin gone.
Wong Hong. great and noble, has
gone into the shades to join his
illustrious ancestors.
Woe unto us. Weep. Weep
aloud.
Disturb - the silence, lest the evil
spirits molest the soul of the.
dead.
Woe unto us. Weeii. Weep
aloud."
(Free translation of Chinese fun-
eral dirge.)
In the Chinese cemetery at New
Westminster, B. C., lies the body of
Wong Hong, ex -leader of the local
branch of the Chinese Reform Assam. -
tion, head of a. large family, beloved
and honored of his people.
The funeral was most elaborate,
over two hundred Celestials taking
part in the ceremonies. For fully five
hours, pandemonium reigned in
Chinatown. Three musical aggrega-
tions assailed the air with variations
of all kinds of musical notes, the ma-
jority being entirely foreign to: the
curious crowd' .of white people who
had assembled to witness the weird
eeremonies. For three hours the body
lay itt state in front of the Chinese
Masonic hall, the casket being opens
ed and part of the body exposed to
view. Hundreds of punk sticks burn-
ed before the procession started on
the long walk to the cemetery, while
prayer ' papers were scattered, all
around the coffin. These papers are
perforated' and the Chinese state that
the idea is that the evil spirits are
eonipelled. to creep through till the
holes in the prayer papers while en-
gaged in the pursuit of the soul of
the departed.
Twelve hacks, buggies and wagons
took part in the procession, while a
large number of Chinamen followed on
foot. The Vancouver contingent of
Chinese Masons who had come over
specially to attend the funeral worn
robes of white cloth, ,while other
Chinamen were arrayed 'in red and
white garments.
At the graveside, ttunierous cere-
monies were gone through, the prin-
cipal one being the scattering of rice
and other food for the use of the de -
pa ,ted wltelt on his long journey to
the spirit world. All the clothes and
blankets used by the deceased pre-
vious to bis death we:e burnt alter
the body had been lowered into the
grave.
Three years hence, the bones of
ti,'ong long will be disinterred, all
adhering portions of tiesh will be
scraped off with a sharp pieee of
wood, and neatly labelled and packed
in a box„ these mortal remains of the
dead ratan will be shipped to his no-
tivo country, there to be interred with
the bones of his forefathers.

ANTIQUITY OF GEOMETRY,
Th* Science May Have Exist*d In
India For Long Agee.
Did we learn our rule of three and
our Euclid from India? Researches
have brought to ligirt astronomical ta-
bles in India which must have been
constructed by the principles of geom-
etry. Some are of the opinion that they
have been framed from observations
trade not less than 3,000 years before
the Christian era, and if this opinion
be well tounded the selenee of geotn'
etry trust have been cultivated in In-
dia to a cousiderable extent loug be-
fore the period assigned to its origin lu
the west, so that many of the elemen-
tary propositions may have been
brought from India to Greece.
The Radian have a treattse,lcalled the
"Sprya Sidhante," which professes to
be a r,;velatiou from heaven communi-
cated to Itleya, a men of great sanctity,
about •4,000,000 years ago. '1'btis book
contains a rational system of trigonam-
etry which differs entirely from the
first known In Greece and Arabia. In
fact, it is founded on. a geometrical
theorem whiclt was not known to the
geometricians of Europe before the
time of Victa, about 200 years ago,
And It employs methods of demonstra-
tion unknown to the Greeks, who used
others. The former have been attrib-
uted to the Arabs, but it is possible
they have received this improvement
in trigonometry as well as the numer-
ical characters from In iii.
Irish Stories.
An Irisbman while taking a barge tip

"What kind of timber and what sort
of fruit?"
"Well, an.' it ye mast know, the'titn-
