We set out under the direction of C. W. Sever- ance to take a census of the Buddhas in Rangoon. The first temple yielded 168, and with cheerful confidence in our ability to reach one thousand, we next tackled the Shwe Dagon, upheaving itself in the sun, girt with a scaffolding of bamboo poles, so that the Burmese may acquire merit by regilding its wonderful dome, neither Moslem nor Hindoo in type. When ou
...r total in that temple had reached 1, 500, with many nooks and chapels still to be enumerated, we quit. We rely for success upon patience and persistence, but for once they failed us. Including those awaiting purchase in the 142 HALF WAY art stores, we should estim'ate that at least four thousand images of Buddha are to be found in Rangoon. We have "flag day" and "carnation day, " and the English have "primrose day, " but "Buddha day" is all the year round in Bumiah.
