PUBLIC may NO LONGER
VIEW GREWS0ME RELICS

London, March 21.-Because it was
becoming as great an attraction for the
morbid as the Paris morgue, the Grim
inal museum of Scotland Yard has
been practically closed To all except
those who can show some good reason
for desiring to visit it. The museum
has never -laFr opened TO the general
public, but II has not been difficult to
obtain admission. Now a permit must
he secured from the Second Commits
sioncr of Police, and the visits can
only be made on one of two days N
the week.
During the past year 1t became quite
the rage for society women to obtain
permits To view the grewsome relics
which the place contains. and COM
plaint was made that the museum WAS
being turned into a sideshow for the
qualification of the morbidly curious.
Some of the relics are decidedly ghast-
ly and these are displayed with lack
of reserve which according TO the
Scotland Yard authorities did NOT
make fixed parties Of visitors desir-
able. Besides the implements used in
the commission Of famous crimes, per-
haps the most interesting exhibits m
the place are death masks formerly
made of every criminal executed in
England.

new GIBRAL TAR IN
NORTH OF IN DIA
England Is Making the Khyber
Pass Proof Against Invasion

Peshaur, India, March 2l.-With Sc
crecy and speed unusual in public
work, English army engineers are
rushing to completion the forts and
roads of Khybor Pass, to make 1t a
Gibraltar against invasion from the
north. As domestic unrest grows in
India the fear of the Russian bear and
the unruly states between Russia and
the Indian empire increases, and Eng
land is clearly determined not to be
attacked i'm the rear in the event Of a
native rebellion.
Two years ago the road across the
famous pass was hardly more than a
trail for pack animals but today Khy-
der is traversed by two roads suitable
for the fastest and heaviest military
traction. The defensive works have
been constructed with such secrecy
that none of the details are known to
the public. 1t is believed that the
natural battlemcnts formed by the
cliffs above the roads are honeycomb
ed with hidden enlbrasures behind
which great mountain guns lie hidden
Competent engineers believe that un-
less the defending force is cut eff from
the south, the pass can be defended
bv "a small garrison even against a
host such as the ancient invaders ol
India brought down from the north.
