In addition to vivisection, practiced upon women, which was the emperor's favorite pastime until he wan stopped by the French authorities, Tanh-Tul has Imagined many other torures a|. most too horrible to dwell upon. Rha- Ral, the emperor's latest fuvorlte, was rescued just a* she was ubuut to be submitted to the burning oil torture. In thl* gruesome diversion It bus been Tanh-Tal’* -method to have the mast beautiful of lit* women brought nude beforp him and to slnsh their bodies with a *mall blade about the *lxe of a penknife and pour burning oil Into the wound*. Another torture practiced upon the women of the palaco has been to fasten Implements resembling those usod by Ice men for lifting blocks of Ice Into the flesh of the women's shoul ders or thighs, und stringing them up to the cplllng. Upon one occasion Tanh-Tul sent for hi* ministry, Tong-Doc, whose daugh ter wa* then a young child, telling him to bring the little girl with him to the palace. Tong-Doc compiled with the royal rommand and wu* moat cordial ly received by Ills.sovereign, who man aged, however, to send him off on u pressing mission. When Tong-Doc re turned he found the girl almost puv- alyzed with fright laid out upon a beautiful great slab of onyx nnd Jade, und the emperor with a lot of surtflcul Instruments at hand Just about to be gin the vivisection of the unfortune little creature.
