TREE AS INOUISITOR.
Used IN Madagascar to Learn if Pris-
0nerS Were Guilty or Not.

SA-SAS WI ShAANJ VI ANOts
One of the most deadly trees in the
world is to be found in Madagascar,
where it is known as the tangen tree.
Its scientific name is tanguinia veneni-
fera, the latter word signifying poison
OuSe BY the natives it is regarded with !,
sort OF horror, and for excellent reasons.
For centuries it was the custom to use
the fruit of the tangen for the purpose
Of ascertaining whether criminals
charged with grave offenses We're guilt s
or not.
In each case. the prisoner was brought
into court. and the judge thereupon sol
emily handed him Il fruit from a tangem
Tree and told him that if lie ate il and Il
did him no harm be would be considered
innocent, but that if it killed him he
would he considered guilty. As there is
a great deal of poison in the fruit it can
readily be seen that very few. if indeed
any. were able to pass through this or
deal unscathed.
1t is said that some criminals who had
great political influence or considerable
wealth managed to escape through the
c0nnivance of the judges; but. on the
other hand the criminal records tell of
many cases in which prisoners died Il
horrible death very soon after they had
eaten the nOXious fruit. More civilized
methods of adjudication now prevail in
Madagascar. but, though this barbarous
custom is obsolete. the tangen tree is re-
garded with almost as much aversion as
it ever was, A proof of this may he
found in the fact that a French natural
list recently tried to obtain some branches
and fruit of the trees. but. though he
asked several natives TO aid him in the
search. he was unable to obtain the
slightest assistance from any of them
