KILLING THE AGED.
DIR. ,BoGARAS A WITNESS OF
 THE STRANGE CUSTOM.
It is a Sacsd Duty-sons Kill Fathers in the Far North-Latter Eager to Die-Useless Members of the Tribes Always
 Put to Death.

Washington PoSt.
 An interesting story Ut the singular and revolting custom among far northern saw ages of killing older members of the tribe is told by Dr. Bogaras the dlstin- ruished Russian anthropologist, who has lately returned from a six years sojonrp In the interest of the American Museum of Natural History among the almost un- known tribes of Northern Siberia, and who Is now in this city examining cer- tain material In the National Museum and Bureau of Ethnoogy. Ever since the days of Bc-tng. Lisiansky and won Krusenstern the civilized world has known, In a somewhat vague and i'm perfect way, that in order to ecoaomize their food resources the natives of North ern Siberia resort to the cxpedient of kill ing older members of their tribe whom advancing years have rendered unfit for active participation in the chase and such other activities by which the tribes men keep themselves supplied with food, but 1t remained for Dr. Bogaras to Wit ness such executions and to bring back the first definite, complete ;A1d detailed information respecting a custom which. prior to his visit, many had regarded in the light of an exaggeration. Not only did he witness executions. but he brought back to civilization the first photographs
 
 The life Of the North Siberian sav- age" said the doctor to a Post reporter, "!s one long.-unending struggle to es- cape starvation, True. one might say the same thing of the people of the Uni ted States or of any other country. but the struggle for existence here and in Northern Siberia is so different that there Is no ground for comparison. The tribes given to this form of patricide are the Chukches. Asiatic Eskimo, and one or two others living along the coast of the Arctic ocean to the west of the Chuk- ches. The Yakuts. Tungooses and other tribes living immediatel" to the south are, so far os have been able 10 learn. not given to this peculiar and revolting prac- tice. The latter own large herds of rein deer. affording them a consistent. regular, certain and inexhaustible supply of milk meat and cheese. while the Chukches. Eskimo and other tribes bordering the Arctic ocean. having no domestic animals ether than dogs. rely altogether on hunt ing and fishing for a livelihood. They are like the American Indians in the respect that they have never undertaken to do- mesticate the reindeer or any other use full animal. The first step out of savage

 They belonged. they said to certain sub-tribe and villnge. l00 miles distant 10 the east, and to the wolf totem. Ac- cording to family tradition. the founder of their family had been left babe lil the woods. during an onslaught and mas sacre by a hostile tribe. whose members killed every one in the town save this baby, whom they happened to overlook He would also have erished had It not been for she-wolf (the Romulus and Remus myth Is common among the Chuk- ches al well as among many other say age tribes) that suckled and otherwise provided for the little orphan, who grew to be a great warrior and to revenge himself on the tribe that killed his par ents and people Continuing their story, the girls said that the village in which they lived had been ovcrtaken by an epidemic of measles (which, though far from sepi )us among white people, Is ai- most as fatal as smallpox among the Chukches and Siberian Eskirno). aggra- vated by famine Every one in the vil- lage had either died or deserted they said. leaving them fatherless and with

 They had about given themselves up for lost when one night the ancestral
 wolf appeared to the cider sister in a dream, and told her to take her sister and travel so many days journey west ward lntil they came to the village where | they had just then arrived. They had never in their lives heard of this place, nor did they know how to reach it, but

 the strange story they told. created a great sensation in the village. where it | was firmly believed by every one barring myself The girls were well cared for. and were for q time the center attrac- ton of the place. This incident is quite characteristic of the chukche, and shows
 how they are dominated by superstition.

 Killed When No Longer Useful
 Now the country in which these Chuk cheS live is so extremely barren. cold and desolate that unlesG those who dwell with in it's borders secure and store away great quantities of imported supplies from Russia, China or some other outside source. or else maintain large herds of reindeer, they are almost certain to Cx- perience periods of famine. and as the ChukcEes do peither. 1t fellows that they are constantly on the verge of staTvs- tion The fieh and game in this the cold est region on earth Is limited. Even the wild reindeer. elk. bears. wasrus and seals animals inurej to cold. and inai- genous to high attitudes are exceedingly scarce. and not ncar so common as they are farther south and west. So that under these conditions the country cannot sup port more than a very limited population of hunters and fishers. To continue in existence under these conditions the Chuk- ches have adopted means peculiar and original. Tn their own savage and cold hlooded way they have reasoned out that in order to escape famine the population must be kept within umits and that the presence in the community of men too old to hunt deer, walrus and bear. ard women whorl advancing years have rob- bed of the strength and faculty to dress skins. prepare food, and build lodges. $ a menace to the welfare of those who can. and at a serious burden on the com munity at large Therefore. the moment men or women reach the age when they are no longer useful they ore killed by | +heir nearest relatives iu order that the latter may be suro of their usual food | supply.

QUEER DIsAPPEARANcEs.
Prominent Persons Who Have Mys-
 teriously Dropped from Sight.

New York Tribune.
 The most remarkable instances of dis appearance ever known" were the words used by a detective a few days ago when speaking of a case he was employed up- on. It was not a haphazard expression. nor WIS 1t original. for it has been used of many in the list of those who have mysteriously disappeared. A report of the commissoiner of police of London re- gently noted that 174 men and women of that city had sunk out of sight of their friends in the year. Many persons dis appear every year in New York city. One of the most remarkable cases of disap- pearance was that of Lieutenant Edward W. Remey of the navy. brother of Judge Advocate General Wm. B. Remey and Rear Admiral George C. Remey The last seen of him was when he walked down the gangplank of the steamship Roanoke in New York city on February l7, 1887 Every effort was made to find him. but no trace was discovered. Had he been a man of irregular habits there might have been some suspicion as 10 the cause of his disappearance. but he was a sober. straightforward officer, and no officer had a better record. stood high- CT in the profession or was more greatly esteemed.
