SERVED TWO GOOD PURPOSES
Burglar Alarm in Tomb OF Tartars
Told Of Burglary and Also Exc
cuted Justice.

In Tibet the Tartars have what is
possibly the oldest burglar alarm in
the world. 1t was invented as a pre-
caution against the robbing of tombs.
When a royal parsonage died in Tibet
he was buried with all his jewels and
precious robes. To add a still higher
tribute, the most beautiful young wom-
en- of his court were suffocated and en-
balmed upon the day of the funeral.
This conserved their beauty, and they
were placed in standing position
around the tomb of their master, each
holding some trinket used by the roy
al parsonage during his lifetime.
To protect these treasures from van-
dals the Tibetans erected an arch Of
sharply pointed arrows and whoever
passed under this trod upon release,
which discharged the arrows in quick
succession. This invention, hidden
around the temples and tombs of the
rich Tartars, was doubly efficient, as
it protected property as well as exc
cuted justice without unnecessary trial
by jury.
