dia department Of the Exhibition, while employed in
cleaning some of the Indian weapons, which somewhat
terrified the operator. The weapon in question was a
dagger, with gold hilt and handle and richly orna-

handle somewhat heavily, he was astonished 10 see
what appeared TO be the single blade gradually ex

blades. leaving spearlike weapon in the centre of
them, with four sharp edges. This fve-bladed wea-
pon with IFS twelve sharp edges, is without exception
one of The most murderous looking specimens ever
SEEM In the collection of this class OF weapons there
are several other instruments OF similarly murderous
character, among which may be mentioned three
bladed knife manufactured in TIE States OF Ulwar the
construction of which has sorely puzzled many of the
experienced cutters The blades not arranged
in the ordinary manner but two of them together with
their handles concealed in the blade and handle OF

Damascus steel, with exceedingly keen edges. There
is dagger with two blades. also manufactured at
UIwar, of the construction, and OF exceedingly
beautiful workmanship.
AS fine specimens of ornamentaton may also be men

the Rajah of Loudpore from Nepaul, one of dark
steel inlaid with gold from the States of Rapootana
two Burmese, and stetto Malacca dagger
There are also some weapons of similar character,
one with beautiful enameled hilt manufactured
of indigenous material from the Rajpootana States.
The large knife of the Burmese is also most for

The Garr0fe.

The instrument of death known the garrotte is
of Spanish origin, and we believe its use is confined
exclusively to Spanish countries 1t has long been
almost the only mode of death employed in Mexico,
though more particularly in the punishment OF high
crimes against the State such treason or insur-
rection Probably while Santa Anna was President
of the Mexican Republic, the garrote was oftener
applied to victims, in the secret chambers of the Ma
tional Palace in the main prison near the Alme-
d. than during all the othor presdencies together
The mode of execution by the garrote Is in this
wise The criminal is seated in chair. the back of
which against post firmly set into the floor or
the ground His hands are bound to the chair. and
the back of his head, with his neck bare is placed
against the post, to which, at proper distance Is
attached circular piece of iron more properly a
collar an inch or two in diameter, and sufficiently
large in circumference to clasp the neck. The col
lar@one end being fastened to the posts then fit
ted close to the neck of the victim while the other
end containing screw, is brought to the opposite
point of the post Being here adjusted, the screw is
turned and each turn of the screw congresses the
collar more tightly, till the criminal is strangled-
Nor is this all In the centre of the collar, and d
rectly under the chin of the victim, there is sharp
steel point or blade, which penetrates through the
neck with every turn of the screw. We believe, how
ever, that this last feature in garrotethe sharpen
ed points not in every used and that gene
rally, the body, after DEATH leaves mark or trace
whatever of blood There is this popularity in the
operation of the garrote-that death by it is almost
instantaneous-quicker and more sudden than by
the guillotine even, the hangman's rope the SOL
diers rife-while it is Invested of the bloody ig
nomnious Accomplishments in executions by the last
three implements of death.

THE RIGHT KIND A CoNsuL.-A Canadian pa
per commenting upon the late summary massacre of
Americans in Havana, says that the impression is
prevalent that had British or French man-of- war
been lying in the harbor, the United States
sloop-ofwar Albany, and had British or French
consul been in the city, such wholesale massacre
then relates the following anecdote:
In 1920, two English sailors, who had committed
crime in Havana were about to be shot. They
clearly guilty, but the British Consul insisted
that they should be tried. This the Government re-
fused The Consul demonstrated and the Captain
General became insolent. The hour of execution
came and the Consul was the spot he brought
with him the consular flag the British ''Union Jack
and again earnestly demonstrated, but in vain. The
officer on the plaza was about to proceed in the
cution of his duty. The Consul finding all further
remonstrance useless placed himself in front of the
men, unfolded the Union Jack, which he threw over
the kneeling prisoners and said No,c shoot at that
flag if you daIe!n' They were remanded to prison,
and that night they escaped.
