The Towers of Silence.

These towers, which are built in q
compound on the top of Malabar Hill,
in the Island of Bombay, are six in
number, and overlook the sea, the oldest
being 300 years. 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 pit in
the centre, into which the bones are
thrown after the flesh is stripped off,
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 vultures 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 ara taken out
and thrown into the sea, thus fulfilling
one Of the principal tenets of the Zorro
aster religion, "That the mother earth
shall not be detiled."

The New Gzar.

Alexander Alexandrovitch who from care
witch now so suddenly becomes car of all the
Russias, was born February 26 (darch 10, new
Style, 1915, and was married on November g.
1866, to Maria Dagmar, then nineteen years
old, daughter of Christian X, king of Den
mark The car is, therefore, brother-in-law Of
the Prince of Wales, who married the Princess
Maria's elder sister Alexandra, and also OF
George l., King Christians second son. who
was elected King of Greece in 1863. As to
Alexander ILLS policy and ability, very little
can be said, for he has vet to show his quality
1t is certain, however, that neither his home
nor his foreign policy will be nodded after his
fathers. His dislike of the Germans has been
outspoken, especially since his marriage, and he
has not hesitated TO say that favoritism to Them
to the prejudice of the native element, has been
just cause of dissatisfaction. Toward the end
of 1879 he came 10 an open rupture with his
father on the question of their common
inheritance of rule over $4,000, 900 people.
Like his father, Alexander Ill is some six
feet in height deep-chested, broad shouldered
and seemingly of great strength. His eyes are
ight-gray, and his head is large and of a shape
which psychologists say indicates a strong will.
His mouth is small, with good teeth his hair is
auburn and his complexion very fair In St.
Petersburg he usually wears uniform but
when visiting his wife's relations he wears
shepherds plaid and neither gloves nor
jewelry He is an excellent family man
and in Copenhagen, where he and the
Princess Dagmar are both great favorites,
they walk about in the most unceremonious
manner. Their children are Nicholas. born in
1858; George, born in 1871; Xenia, born in
1875; Michael, born in 1878, and, it is believed,
one younger child. As child Alexander's
education was such as might be expected for
man in his position, that is as thorough as was
possible in Russia, or indeed in the world He
was an apt pupil, and his knowledge of both
civil and military affairs is considerable. He
is great reader of newspapers, especially when
travelling, and he has taken personal interest in
the publication of the state papers of Russia.

sketch of the Cars Life.

Alexander II was born on April %, 1918.
His father was the late Emperor Nicholas and
his mother was the Princess Charlotte, of the
Hohenzollern family, sister of the German en-
peror, William /. The young grand duke and
future emperor, Alexander, was seven years of
age when his father became sovereign Of all the
Russias. On the attainment of his sixteenth
birthday Alexander WAS declared of age, and
two years later he was admitted TO the sttings of
the ministers. He Travelled much at first
through the various governments of Russia;
afterward through all the countries of Europe
except France In 1S41 the czarewitch married
the Princess Marie Hesse, daughter of Louis II.
1twas love-match, according to the ehroniclers.
On the seventh Of September, 1856. Alexander
was solen1nly crowned emperor at Moscow. He
signalized his accession to the throne by the
Inauguration of many important reforms and
changes, devoting himself strictly to home
affairs. The great work of Alexander's reign
was the abolition of serfdom in Russia From
his earlier years he fostered this plan in his
mind and as soon as was practicable after the
Crimean war he put it in operation. The first
attempt upon the cars life in 1866 and the
Polish rising at about the same time. changed
the direction of the cars life-work. He
surrounded himself with police and spies,
who fed him with horrors to assure their in
fluence over him, and without securing his
safety incurred the suspicion and contempt of
his people. He had alenated the mobiles
by his reforms; he valnly endeavored to
become reconciled to them bv attempting
repressions which alienated the people.
Shortly afterward the Nihilists began their
operations throughout Russia and the various
attempts which they made upon the emperors
life are well known. On the death of the en-
press, last fall, the car married the Princess
Catherine Dolgorouki. He had lived with her
morganatically twelve years, and had two chill
dren by her.
The emperor has had large family. Nicho-
las, the eldest of the princes, died at Nice in
April 1865. Alexander, the new car, was
born March TO- 1916. and married on November
9, 1866, to his dead brothers betrothed, the
Princess Dagmar OF Denmark. The third son is
the Grand Duke Alexis. who visited America
several years ago. The fourth son is the Grand
Duke Vladimir, the handsomest of all living
Romanoffs, and the most profigate. The fifth
son is the Grand Duke Serge Alexandrovitch
He was an aide-de-canlp and the emperor's
favorite. The sixth son, Paul, is not yet of age.
The only daughter is the wife of Prince Alfred,
of Great Britain.

On June G, 1867, his life was attempted by q
Pole named Berezowski while the emperor was
visiting the emperor of the French at Paris.
On April IA, 1879, four shots were fired at
him by retired functionary of the finance de-
partment named Skolof as he was taking his
morning walk near the Winter palace. In adj
dressing the people who came to congratulate
him ON his safety, the ear said: This is the
third time God has saved me-"
On December l, 1879, an attempt was made
to wreck his train while he was travelling from
st. Petersburg to Moscow. His train escaped,
but the baggage train was blown off the track
by an explosion, tunnel having been dug
under the road-bed and filled with powder.
On February II, 1890, a mine was laid below
the dining-hall in the Winter palace and fired
about the time the car and his family were in
the habit of dining. Fortunately they had been
delayed on this occasion. Five soldiers were
killed and thirty-fve wounded.

Who Was Shot.

We received from correspondent
the following somewhat incoherent ac-
count of duel which was fought in his
neighborhood. Some way or other, we
are half in the dark about the result of
the duel in question, but we shall leave
the decision to our readers: ga duel
was lately fought in Texas by Alexander
Shott and John S. Mott. Mott was shot
and Shot was not. In this case it is
better to be Shott than Mott. There was
a rumor that Mott was not shot, and
Shott avows that he shot Mott, which
proves either that the shot Shott shot
at Mott was not shot, or that Mott was
shot Notwithstanding. 1t may be made
to appear ON trial that the shot Shott
shot shot Mott, or, as accidents with
firearms are frequent, it may be pos
sible that the shot Shott shot, shot Shott
himself, when the whole affair would
resolve itself into its original elements,
and Shott would be shot, and Mott
would be not. We think, however, that
the shot Shot shot shot not Shott, but
Mott; anyway, it is hard to tell who
was shot.
