INGENIOUS TORTURES.
Cruelties OF Punishment Inflicted on
Offenders In Morocco.

Offenders In Morocco.
In Morocco the torture OF offenders,
real and suspected, has been and Is
still much psacticed. Much ingenuity
is shown III the infection of pain-such
devices as the rubbing Of red pepper in
to the eyeballs. tying up the wrists at
a height from the ground. etc.
At the death of the late sultan pre-
tender proclaimed himself the rightful
heir to the throne and lad a certain
success. When presently overcome by
the legitimate authorities. he was
seized, thrown down, when chillies
were applied to the inside of his mouth
till it swelled with pain, and he was
desired to shout out his titles and quail
tiles as much as he pleased, being Of
course unable to utter word. After
that he was thrown into Jail to rot there
till he died.
A refinement of cruelty is the torture
of the Iron glove" as it is called. A
lump of quicklime is placed in mans
hand, which is closed up into a fist
Then tie fist is tightly bound with
leather thongs and plunged into tub
of cold water.
The agony soon becomes extreme.
The torture is continued for eight or
ten days until in the end modification
ensues and probably death. Again,
form of lying up" is to chain or fasten
a man to n wall, with his arms extend
ed so that he can only escape strangu-
lation by standing on tiptoe.-kansas

ANATOMY or AN OYSTER.
The Bivatve's Organs Are Numerous
and It's Heart Quite HumanIike.

Every oyster has mouth, EeaTI, q
liver, q stomach, besides many curious
~ devised little intestines and other
organs - necessary organs, such as
would be handy to a living, moving
intelligent creature. The mouth IS at
the end Of the shell, near the hinge and
adjoining the toothed portion of the
oysters pearly covering. This tiny lit
tie apology Of mouth is oval in shape.
and, although hardly visible to one un-
used to making such anatomical exam
nations, it can be easily discovered by
gently pushing bodkin or piece Of
blunt, smooth wire along the surface
Of the locality mentioned.
When the mouth is at last located
you can thrust your instrument through
between the delicate lips and a consid-
cradle distance toward the stomach
without causing the oyster the least
pain whatever. From this mouth there
Is of course a miniature canal leading
to the stomach. Food passes from this
canal to the stomach and from the lat
ter organ into the 1ntestines just as
readily as though the little bivalve
were as large as an elephant or a rhi-
noceros.
Remove the shell Cthis operation Is
rather rough on the oyster, but can be
done in comparatively painless man
ner by an expert), and you will see the
crescent, which lies just over the SO
called heart. This half moon space is
the oysters pericardium. Within is
the true heart, the pulsat1ons of which
can be readily seen without the aid of
glass. The heart is very humanlike.
made of two parts, one Of which re-
ceives the blood from the gills through
a network of real blood vessels: the
other portion contracts and drives the
blood out through the body. The other
organs of an oysters anatomy are all
In their proper places and perform
their several functions.

The PrfckIy Pear of Africa.

Misch1evous though the prickly pear
is, it is not without its good qualities.
Its juicy fruit, though rather deficient
in flavor, is delightfully."- cool and re-
freshing in the dry heat Of the SUM-
mer, and kind of treacle is made of it.
Great caution is needed in peeling
the prickly pear, the proper way being
to impale the fruit on fork or stick
while you cut it open and remove the
skin, and woe betide the fingers Of the
unwary new chum" who plucks the
treacherous fruit.
In dry weather at the cape these
spiteful little stings do not even wait
for the newly arrived victim, but fly
about, light as thistledown, ready to
settle on any one who has not learned
by experience to give the prickly pear
bushes wide berth.-"Home Fife on

THE kiANGS OF INDIA.
T6ese wild Horses Are Vicious and
Said to- Be Untamable.


Writing of the kiangs, or wild horses,
Of India, found near the land of Tibet,
Thomas ". Weber in THE Forests OF
Upper India and Their Inhabitants'
says:
Here for the first time we saw the
kiang, or wild horse. Several herds
came to look at us as we marched and
gallCped around, neighing and kicking
Gp, but Kept at a respectful distance.
They have big, ugly heads and tails
and ears like a mules and black
stripe down the back; color, light bay,
with white noses. They have fine free
action in trot and gallop and are four
teen to fifteen hands high, strong in
the legs and heavy in the body. We
were welcomed by the neighing of nu-
merous wild horses to the land of the
kiang. Several herds kept circling
round, the old stations approaching in
quite threa tening manner, snorting,
squealing and kicking up their heels,
while the mares and foals galloped off
at more respectful distance. There
was q AClo VI " AlNu
about our camp in a most objectiona
BILE way, making the most fearful dis
turbances. We witnessed battle roy
al between two stations, which for
ferocity and wicked fury surpassed any
fight l have seen. Again and again
the pair went at one another like IT,
gers, biting and kicking and mauling
the Eiood flowing freely. while the fear
full yells and roars they kept up were
terrifying to hear. This went on for
hours The horrible roars and shrek
ings made by the wild horse when
fighting sound something like noise
between donkey's bray and the
sQuealing of jackal, but far more ear
piercing and discordant. Here the
kiang is found in considerable num-
bers. He is, according to the Hunia
accounts, untamable. There was a
young one purchased at Bagesar fair
from some Hunias for small price.
The purchaser thought he had 4 good
bargain and proposed to send the ami
NAL to England, but when his men
went to bring away the purchase no
power could induce 1t to leave its fos
ter mother. an old Ahbet pony, which
the clever Hunias refused to sell ex-
cept for an exorbitant sum.

The Bees In Early Spring.

In looking over colonies early in the
spring choose a warm, sunshiny day.
and be careful not to chill the brood by
long exposure. If you open a hive.
know just what you want, and do i.
expedit:ously, and close up the hive
again. If YOU have the bees packed in
chaff, do not be in hurry to remove
the packing, us the bees spread the
brood and arrange matters for the tenn
perature the packing gives, and should
you remove the packing too early some
brood may be chilled and the colony
cannot make Roadway as rapidly.

Where Gannets swarm.

One Of the most remarkable sights In
the world is Bird island, in South Afrf-

months Of the year it is literally eov-
cred with gannets. Not a foot Of ground
Is to be seen anywhere. Day after day
thousands Of gannets strut around, and
they are SO close to each other that the
whole island seems actually alive.

that it is one which can never be for

THE TANGLE AT DOVER.
Partially Strengthened Out by Deci-
sion Of Court.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
DOVER, Del, March 6.-The tangle in
which the house of representatives of the
Delaware general assembly finds itself, by
reason Of the minority adjourning from
Tuesday until Thursday and thereby being
in conflict with the provisions Of the con-
stitution, which requires that less than a
quorum of the legislators shall adjourn
from day to day." has not yet been
Strengthened out. The difficulty. as has al
ready been explained, was caused by ma
jority Of members of the house being in
Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday,
incident to the swearing in Of the United
States senators, Ball and Alice.
The decision which was reached last night
by Chancellor Nicholson and the other
members of the Delaware judiciary, with
the exception of Associate Judge Grub,
who Is absent from the state, was to the
unanimous effect that the legislature Is still
q legal body, and that the joint session.
therefore, continues. The judges ruled that
the action of the minority members of the
house in adjourning longer than from day
to day. was void, and therefore had no
effect whatever on the status OF the legis-
lature While this favorable finding of the
judiciary was generally known, 1t was not
formally submitted to the general assembly
today because of the absence from Dover
of Governor HUM.
pursuant TO an UNDERSTANDING ana pend
ing the receipt of the judges decision, less
than q quorom of the house met today and
adjourned until tomorrow. when further adj
jurnment will be taken until Monday. It
is expected that on the latter day the mat
ter will be officially adjusted and the regu-
lar work of the legislature will be resumed
AS a result of this hitch the house will
probably extend the time for final adjourn
ment from March IS. as named in the
senate's joint resolution, to several days
later.
The senate. which is not involved in the
difficulty, 1t having adjourned legally, held
a regular session today and passed or con-
Cured in number of bills.
