Prisoners Boiled Alive.

In English statutes of the sixteenth
century the punishment set down for
the crime Of numbering by poison was
boiling alive. and q girl was actually
executed In that CHASTITY fashion. In
1888 Father Stone of Canterbury suf-
fered the same death. A curious ac-
count Is in existence which gives the
amount paid: For two men who set
the kettle and parboiled him" and ITO
the women that secured the kettle"
The sentence Was not always carried
out with SO much ferocity. for culprits
were sometimes hanged before being
boiled. In one case 1t is recorded that
a man was first hanged, then boiled
and then quartered.

srahs.s Work in Astronomy.

1t was the great eclipse Of Aug. 81.
1860. that turned Tycho Brahe into an
astronomer. He was In his 14th year
at the time. a Danish boy Of noble or
igin. and had been destined frst for
the army and then for the law. But
the accuracy with which the eclipse
was predicted impressed him with the
belief that astronomy was divine

his life to 1t. The debt Of astronomy

work. but as the man who shaped
