Nine. Carnot. the widow of the assas-
sinated President of France. in her will
left a bequest to her children to rid
themselves of certain Hindoo idol
which was in her possession. This idol
IA little one of stone curiously carved,
as are most of these objects-was pre-
sented to6arnot by learned friend on
his return from India. Carnot then
was merely Minister sof Finance. and
did not expect to attain the Presidency.
The friend warned Carnot that the le-
gend connected with the idol was that
it assumed supreme power to its own
er, and also that the owner would die
a violent death by the knife. 1t had
belonged to the dynasty of the Kings Of
KhadJurao, and the last Raja, having
arrived at power by its means and fear
ing the dagger. sought to conjure death
by giving it away. Interested by tx,
story, Mime. Carnot accepted the fetish
with pleasure. NJ. CarRot attained The
Presidency, ard Mine. Garnet wrote as
the time to the friend in India that it
was "all due to the fetish" CaPnot
died by the knife.

these sticks, without any signs of ar

the woman and would be recognized by

is unquestionable to all who examined
the skeletons that they are a white
