said he. "and is nearly 100 yards
square. It is incloocd by a wall 12 feet
in height and 8 feet thick. and in the
walls are pigcouholclike places, or
crypts. for the bodies.
“When a man dies. his relatives can.
on the payment of $40, get him put in
one of these crypts. The ends are scaled
up, and he is allowed to stay there for
five years. At the end ‘of that time, if
the relatives come forward and pay
.100 more. the remains are allowed to
remain there perpetually. If, however,
the relatives haverdicd. moved away or
fail to put up the $100, the remains are
taken out. carted away and put into a
great yard near at hand. where remains
have in like manner accumulated and
where boucsnow lie 20 feet deep. There
is a flight of steps leading down .into
a passageway which is 800 feet long.
At the end of this passageway isa great
excavation for the cast off bones. It is
here that they are piled to such an im-
mense depth.
“There are to be seen arms, legs.
skulls and other bones at pleasure or'te
your horror. just as you take it. Not
many Americans have ever been there.
andlof those who have. including some
lady tourists, a number have fainted
outright. The sight was too much for
their nerves
“There is a pottcr‘s field aside from
.all this as a part of the burying ground
already told about. and this consists of
a trench in which bodies are buried
three deep without any kind of coflln.
“This being a burying ground and
managed by the authorities, the combs .. .
that are used are owned by the munici-
pality. and it simply rents the coffin for
use till the body is slowed away in the
crypt told about awhile ago. The outline
are used over and over, and one of them
may have previously had 20 bodies in
it. It is kept as any other receptacle
would be and is need as long as it will
last.
