TIle Towers Of Silence.

These towers, which are built in a
compound on the top of Malabar Hill,
in the Island of Bombay, are six IN
number, and overlook the sea, the oldest
being 300 wears The internal arrange
ments of the towers are as follows, The
bodies aIe placed in three separate cir
cles-the outer and larger one for men.
the middle one for women, and the
smallest for children There is a pit in
the centre, into which the bones are
thrown after the flesh is stripped of,
and paths to allow the priest to move
about. The flooring gradually sinks to
the centre to let the rain into the pits
from which it filters into the earth,
The towers vary in size from about
thirty to fifty feet in diameter, and eight
to fourteen in height.
This Parsee mode of disposing Of the
dead seems to European minds very re-
voting. The body, after the religious
ceremony is performed in the temple
where the friends are assembled, is car
ried out and placed in one of the towers,
where it remains exposed to the elements
until the flesh is entirely eaten of, by
the crowds Of vt1ltures which frequent
the place, in about one hour. When
the skeleton becomes dry, it is thrown
into the pit In the centre thus the rich
and poor meet together on one level of
equality after DEATH When the pit be-
comes full of bones, they are taken out
and thrown into the sea, thus fulfilling
one of the principal tenets Of the Zorro
aster religion, aThat the mother earth
shall not be defiled."

TRAVELLING on the Bicycle.

Mr.. John A. Dean, Of Worcester,
Mass, travelling agent for a manufac-
turels' supplies firm, has adopted a
unique mode of locomotion- the bicycle
lii his business tours Mr.. Dean
started from Worcester early in the
summer, visiting most Of the manufac-
turing villages Of Northern Massachu-
sefts, crossing over into New Hamp-
shire, and canvassing the manufactrrr-
ing districts south of the White noun
tains. He then went through Western
Maine, back into New Hampshire, north
of the White mountains through
Northern Vermont down the western
side, crossing over to the Connecticut
river, down the river valley, through
Massachusetts, to Hartford, Conn, and
back to Worcester via Springfield.
These ejourneyings occupied five months,
out of which about twenty days must
be taken for delays on the road, leaving
about 10 days ofactual travel, averaging
at least thirty miles per day, making
total of $500 miles. Even in the
mountainous districts it was seldom
that any number of miles of impossible
roads was found. Perhaps one mile in
fifteen, on an average, had to be walked,
and frequent runs of ten miles we're
made without dismount. From the
small number Of days lost out Of the
five months it will be seen that some
travelling must have been dole in
stormy weather, and only when the
roads became very muddy from a pro-
tracted storm was o halt made necessary
All necessary samples and baggage were
carried on the machine, the most of the
baggage being sent on ahead by rail,
however. MIR. Dean proposes to start
out again on similar trips next season.
He regards this means Of travel as en-
tirely practical, even in the rough re-
gions he passed through. He reached
places that would mot have been discov-
cred from railroad, and actually ac-
eomplished the distance in less time
than could have been done by rail over
the same sections Of country. The ac-
quaintance with the districts visited
obtained by this means of travel is val
liable also, and not the least Of its adj
vantages is the healthful effect Of the
exc and air. A marked change in
M appearance resulted from
