Monks have mortgaged the historic Lunghua Pagoda—for many years Shanghai's most prominent landmark— for rice, according to a Chinese paper. The ancient Pagoda belongs to the Lunghua Temple. When asked to honour a rice bill amounting to 1000 dollars the abbot of the temple found his resources insufficient. He asked the rice shop owner, therefore, to take the Pagoda as security. And so an agreement was made, it is staled, whereby the rice shop proprietor was given the privilege of collecting the "incense money olTeret! by devout Buddhists visiting the Pagoda to offer prayers during the spring. On this security the rice merchant consented to consider liis bill settled.
