Egypt Whenever a pigeon house is t.
be made, the fellahin consider that
the pottery used in its construction
should be baked by the help of human
body. A pigeon house was to be erected
recently at the village of Beni Somrook,
in this province. and this necessary pre-
liminary of its construction was not
forgotten. A young child was first
caught and in spite of its struggles
was put in an oven and burned alive
while the pottery was baked with the
aid of this human holocaust. Two men,
one of them a potter by trade, have
been arrested on suspicion of having
taken part in this old custom. Cairo
