slept on the rack of the inquisitlon.
And the Chinese found that only the
greatest ingenuity and vigilance could
carry out n sentence of death by sleep

ment was long In favor In China and is
said to be so today, while as form of
torture deprivation of sleep Is consid-
cred one of the most etiieaclous weap-

In some such cases the prisoner Is
kept In Il cage too small TO stand up or
lie down In and constantly prodded
