TRIAL BY ORDEAL.
The Queer System That Exists In the
Sinai Peninsula.

Sinai PENINSULA.
III the Sinai peninsula trial by ordeal
IS still practiccd. In all criminal cases
where no witnesses are Forthcoming
the judge, Eel mabashna," tests the
suspected person by fire. by water or
by dream. III the first the judge places
an iron pan in tile Gre until it is redhot
ana gives ii to the accused to touch
three times with his tongue, If marks
of burning are shown on the tongue
the accused is pronounced guilty. The
theory apparently is that if he Is not
guilty the moisture on the tongue pre-
vents 1t from being burnt; If guilty his
tongue would dry up from fear Of be-
Ing discovered.
The test by water is described rs fol-
lows: 1.-The 'mabashaa' sits with the
accused and the spectators in n circle
with copper jug full OF water placed
III the center. This jug is then made
to appear to move round tic circle by
means OF witchcraft or hypnotism Le
the jug returns back to the judge the
accused is pronounced not guilty, but
If the jug stops opposite the accused
he is pronounced guilty."
This description Is rather wanting In
detail, and 1t is difficult to know how
jug Which only appears to move can
be trustworthy index. In the test by
dream the "mabnshaa" sleeps and sees
in dream IT, the accused is guilty or
not.-Chicago News.

When the jester reached the dukes

and the results showed conclusiyey
that waves actually were set up at
the boundary line between the two
liquids.
Further experiments were made 10
verify the sudden loss of speed due to
dead water. The boat model was drawn
across the tank and the towing string
suddenly slackened when the boat was
about half way across. In cases where
the tank contained salt water only the
boat stopped gradually, moving some
boat lengths after the towing string
had been slackened. When the tank
contained a layer Of fresh water rest
ing on salt water, on the other hand,
the boat slackened speed quite sudden
ly and moved only very short dis
lance. These experiments, carried out
on a small scale, prove conclusively
that the difficulties encountered withA
a dead water zone are really due to the
resistance experienced by the vessel In
generating invisible waves at the fresh
watersalt water boundary, although In
some particular cases the influence Of
undercurrents must also, doubtless, be
taken into account.
