The CaIlows in Japan.

To the gallows is an easy transition. as
it is a natural conclusion. In secluded
part Of the grounds at lchigaya there is
forbiddirg object, like a great black
box, raised six feet from the earth at the
foot OF long incline cut in the grass. A
sloping walk Of black boards leads into
the box at he left hand side. The con-
demned criminal is led up this and finds
himself inside upon the drop. The rope
is adjusted and the cap fitted, and then
at signal the bottom of the box falls
back. Thus the japanese method Is ex-
actly the opposite Of our own, the official
spectators, including q couple OF privi-
legged reporters. being spared the ghasly
details Of the toilet on the scalt0ld, and
see nothing until al unacceptable corpse
is suddenly flung out and bangles before

though an editor who did SO would be
