BURyINa ALIvE.-This mode of pun.
ishment was occasionally resorted to by
the Jews and other pations of antiuuity.
Herodotus mentions burying alive as a
Persian custom, and states that Xerxes
buried alive nine sons and nine daughters
of the Edonians and that Amestris, the
wife of Xerxes, in her old age ordered
fourteen children, selected from the best
Persian families, to be buried alive, in or
der to show her gratitude to the god I'M
der the earth. In ancient Rome it
was the punishment awarded to the YES.
tai virgin who violated her vow /; and du-
ring the middle ages, the religious were
for similar offence subjected to the same
terrible penalty. Sir Walter Scott, in
"Marmion," describes the manner, in
which il was carried out. The culprit
was placed ID small niche made in the
massive wall Of the convent, slender
meal Of water and bread was deposited in
it, and at the words Vade in Ruce, the
opening was closed. Skeletons have been
discovered in an upright position 10 the
ruins Of abbeys in England. and It is pro-
bable that they are the remains Of persons
who had been for some offence or other
immured. IL was at ono time the punish
ment for female thief. 3 '2..'9 E71u

a. Homicide in Siam is punishable bv,

O. Homicide in Siam is punishable by q
regular tariff ofprices. Thus, the penalty
of killing babe of from one to three
months is 6 !" ticul," or about $3 81; ibr
child Of four years, about $40; t,f a
boy of fifteen, about $15 and for man
between twenty-six and forty, nearly $50.
Beyond the age of forty years the penalty
decreases, SO that it is no more expensive
to kill an old man from eighty-six to nine
ty years than an infant Of two months
Women can be killed for two-thirds Of
the rates for males. Another custom is
that which enables man 10 hire out his
wife to his creditor as q slave, and thus
cancel his debt by means Of her toll. '''1

The FROZEN MAMMOTH IN Siberia

The FROZEN MAMMOTH IN SIBERIA.
AT the last meeting of the Academy Of
Science letter was received from Mr..
De Baer, of St. Petersburg, in reference
to the mammoth, still covered with its
skin and hair, which had been discovered
in the frozen soil of Arctic Siberia. The
discovery had been made in 1864 by a
Samoyede in the environs Of Taz Bay, the
eastern branch of the gulf Of Obi. The
news only reached st. Petersburg towards
the end Of 1865; bat as the bodies of
large animals will keep a long time in
those regions, if they are not completely
uncovered, and as this mammoth was stiil
inclosed in the frozen soil, che Academy
of St. Petersburg has, with the aid Of
the Russian Government, sent Mr.. M.
Schmidt, a distinguished paleontologist, to
examine the animal and its position in the
locality. Aa al5L9aa z l'sF24 e
