MUMMIES THAT ARE ALIVE.
Living mummies exist in Thibet in caves in the solid rock, built up in front with stones ami mortar. They have padlocked doors, tiny drains and small holes, just sufficient for a man to pass his band through. In these cells men are buried for life, with tlie idea of thus "attaining merit." Once interred, they are, in extreme cases, never seen again by mortal eye. Their death is only made known when they fail for several days to stretch out the hand for food.
