SALTED SUICIDES. A Curious Judicial Proceeding Old-Time France. la People Who Killed ThemoelTee Were Tried by Jary end Their €'or|»ee Sen tenced to Ignominious Treetnsent jAe embalming ol human bodies Is at present done by the undertakers, and there are few physicians, probably, who, If called upon to perform the operation, would be able to do so with out consulting their books ami reading up on the subject. lu olden times the case was different, and lu Franco especially, before the revolution, says a writer In the Revue Sclentiflque, med ical men were frequently called upon to embalm cadavers, although the oper ation was applied almost wholly to one class of subjects, L e., to suicides. Hut why were the cadavers of suicide em balmed, and what was the process, used? “Suicide," says Beocaria, "is an of fense which It seems can be submitted to no punishment properly so called, since such punishment could be Inflicted only upon an insensible or lifeless body, or upon Innocent persons. Now, any punishment that might be meted out to the inanimate remains of the culprit would produce no other impression upon the spectators than that which they would experience in seeing a statue flogged.” And yet, according to the custom of Brittany, which was also general In France, If anyone killed himself inten tionally, ho was hanged by the feet and then dragged like a murderer and his personal effects sold to whomsoever wished to purchase them. In some cases he was tied face downward to a hurdle, dragged through the streets behind a dung cart driven by the pub lic executioner, hanged for three hours by the feet from a gibbet erected in the public place, and then thrown into the sewer. It was also ordered that all remembrance of the deceased should be obliterated and suppressed forever. But before any such proceeding took i place, the cadaver was accorded a fair trial before a judge, whose duty It was to begin by makiug an official inquiry Into the circumstances attending the act of sulo de, the place where It oc curred, the life and habits of the de ceased, etc This having been sub mitted to the king's procureur, the nearest of kin and the heirs of the sui cide were summoned by trumpet to come forward and provide him with a defender. In case they failed to make their appearance, the judge appointed a counsel tor him, whose duty it was to defend his client to the best of his ability by cross-questioning the wit nesses for the prosecution and offering all the excuses possible in extenuation of the offense. If the accused was fonnd guilty, he was punished in the manner above described; but if he was adjudged Innocent, that is to say, if the act of suicide was decided to have been committed in a moment of in sanity, he was buried in consecrated ground. In cither case, however, it was neces sary to preserve the cadaver for the entire length of the trial, which some times lasted for several months, so that In case the accused was found guilty he might not escape punishment, lienee the necessity of embalming, or “saltr tng,” as It was called. It appears from the old records that the operation and materials usedjg^^ as follows: The viscera of thcjf^ig^ thoracic and abdomi^t were removed and t]^—Spaces stuffed with tow that haji been soaked in a solution compose, one ounce of camphor, t 'Tfbunoea of Socotrine aloes and one - gallon of alcohol. Deep incisions wore then made in different parta of the body, and the latter was packed in salt in a wooden box, which, having been covered and nailed, was formally deliv ered to the jailer for safe keeping. Thla method of preserving cadavers ■eems to have been successful except in a few instances in which the case •gainst the accused, having been put upon the docket, was not reached for several years, and not disposed of until the offensive state of the remains called attention to the necessity of legal ac tion in regard to them. BIROS AND LIGHTNING. Instances la Which the Electric Shack Hat Ileen Fatal. The question has lately been asked in England whether birds are ever killed on the wing by lightning. Sev eral observers have answered it in the affirmative by recalling instances in which they have actually seen birds thus killed. Doubt seems to have been entertained as to whether a bird on the Wing is not protected from lightning by virtue of its being separated from eon- taet with the earth. But even the mere shock caused by the passage of a lightning stroke through the air near It might be suffi cient to kill a bird without any actual electrical contact. Mow great such a shock la. In many eases, every one knows who can recall the crashing sound of a near-by thunderbolt. Some observers assert that birds are peculiarly sensitive to the approach of • thunderstorm, and almost invariably seek early shelter from It, as U fully aware of the peril of remaining upon the wing when there is lightning in the air. But for this exhibition of cau tion the number of birda killed by lightning would probably be far great er than it la It would be Interesting to know Whether birds {Assess any Instinctive knowledge of the danger of perching In tall, exposed trees In the open fields during a thunderstorm. A cor respondent of Youth's Companion has the impression that they are in the habit of congregating in the forest un dergrowth and in shrubbery on such oecaskma This might be mainly due, however, to a desire to find shelter from the rain.
