- -~ - ~ -r----'- -~ '- - 2~, fl- Deuth Treo Claimed - 50,000 Vîctims -'It was onceý a ptéaicefl, iny village in the midst of swveet- amligfields, hiedgero-ws and elm trees where o~n moonflit e' nights niaidens strolled with thefr lovera beside a gently rip- pllng brook. But it becam-ie a piace off con- stant death!i It was the site of the dreaded, "neyer green" Ty- burn Tree w-hich was not a tree, but the grixn and ghastly gallows 'where over a period off 600 years moine 50,000 people were hanged - many also drawn and quar- tered. What au contrast! The gallows, somnetimes called by crimi-nals the "Triple Tree" 'or Treeg ged Mare,- was a permanent structure and a commnon place off execution flot only for the whole - of the city a«'London but f'or al- niost ail Engldand. -e r Wooden galleries were erecte e' near it to accomimodate hundreds - of morbid sightseers. They flocked to watch murder- ers, traitors, robbers, highway- men, religious 'martyrs -- as well es miserable wretches who had been caught trying ta picki pock- ets - publicly lianged at Tyburn. Today the new spotlight is fo- -cused on thîs once-gruesome e' aight because it is the centre of a great reconstruction and imprave- ment sehemne - one off the great- - est in modèrni London's history -at Hyde Park Corner and Marbie Arch. For Tyburn Tree, a hiistorie site marked for the cuious in recent years by a small, hardly visible, triangular stone emnbed-. ded in the roadway, stood at what is known today as the north-east corner off Hyde Park, the traffic-ridden junction off Marbie Archi and Edgware Road. e' Oxford Street, leading up ta Marble Arch, is thronged by -' thousands of shoppers today. Centuries ago it was called Ty- burn Road and was filled with people watching the pitiful daily procession off cursing or praying r men and woi-en as they were marched or dragged along it to the ever-ready Tyburn gibbets. r 'They camne fromn the Tower- r of London or Newgate Prison" e' which was on the site of today's Old Bailey. The crowds jerred at some, r cheered others. Tearful wVomYen r gomnetim-es gave the hangmen's r victims flow,ýers or fruit as they - went ta the gallows. r Others wr plied with intoxi;- cating drinks. Many callous sighit- seers bawle coarse jests or r threw soe when they recog- r nized notoriajus criminals bound ffor the scaffold, writes Ashley Brawný, in "Tit-Bits." - ' ' Highwvaymnen were usu ally popular wi-thý1 the crowd. Famous robber and jail breaker- Jack Sheppard's execution at Tybursi attracted a "ýgate" of 200,000. He had plannied another sensa- r ' tionalgtwy at the gallows it- self nd haýd concealed a knife about himn, irtending ta eut through is bonds and dashi r through theý crowd to safety.

Thism plan also fied. The crowd was dielighite-d then a condemnned man did cheat the gallow,ýs. After a criminal namned Dual had been hang-ed in 1740 he was ceut downi and it was then' noticed thjathie showed sigýns of returing ii,,111e. Eager hands helped to revive himr further and thec mrob sur- rounding him nrefused ta allow him ta be re-hianged. Thiey car- ried him off on their shoulders in triumnph te his home. It's on record that when an- ther Tyburn "vcitîm," Dr. John Story, was hanged in~ 1571 the executioner bungled the job bad- ly. After being eut down, the dloc- tor rose ta his feet and struck the h&ngman "-n the head, knocking himn off the scaffold. The last person ta, be hanged ut Tyburu was John'Austin.- His hanging.took place'on November 7, 1783.1 Then the Sheriffs of London. decided ta abolish Tyburn 'and oirdered that executions sho;uld take place outsidle the prison at Newgate on1 a new gallows with an fimproved type of "dro~p." There they continiued uintil Publi'c hangings wvere abolishied. But flot tili May 26, 1868, did Eng- land see its last public execution. CHURCHILL STEPS OUT For the fîrst tinme since crack- ing his bf t tig,hbone in Monte his left thighbone in Monte Carlo last June, 87-y1ear-old Sir Winston Churchill felt up ta aa nightii out, The occasion: A Lon-. don gathering of The Other Club, co-founded by Churchill in 1911 as an alliance of political- minded bons vivants. Dining, on soup, fi llt of sole, fillet of bLef, pears, and ice creamn-and drinký- ing, champagne w i t hi every CcUrse-Churchill chinned hap- pily with old chums and topped oýff the eening byw sm-oking a 7- inch cigar. It vwais nearing idi- night when the e-7zPrim-ie Minis- ter lef t, but ai crowd still waited on the sidewvalk for a glimpse of himi. With one handc on a cane and with his, other armi support- ed by a detective-, Chur-chili ,was in no position ta fla'sh his "V' greeting. instead kha called Gut ta the throng: "Goodnight, Blame The Weather On The Moon! Whnraîsîng -cropa vasmore anart Lin science, many farm-ers plante2d potatoes or corn at the full mo n the belief that rain wvrs sure ta fail ;in à fewm days. Meeooogss, off course, dismissed the idea as'a quaint fheldover frorn pagarÀ timres when the moon wýas wor- shipped as a deity with inifluence over the weather. Now it seemns that the amr were right ail along. Using an IBM 650 computer ta analy zç U.S. rainfaîl data over the past 50, years, an astronomer at, New York University's College ,off En- gineering hias found that rai ac- tually does tend ta faîl a few days after ihe c-new, and ful mYoon)s. When the moan is. only a l circle, Donald Bradley and his associates report in the Jour- nal Science, there is a carre- spondiing tendency to dryness. "Our find3ings sýurprised and shocked, a lot of m-eteor-ologist-s at fir-st," Br-adley said wryly last month, "but th-ey're checking their own records and theyv con- firm o(Ur findings. Onle meteorol- ogist in Texas wrote that the luinar influence holds true for his records of 40 years of h-eavy rainf ail in San Salvador, He also has noticeci that flash f lAs nds Texas, are most likely taoccur jus' after a full mnoon." Bradley started amnassinig lis figuýtres back in 1957 whert he n oticed some -odd coin-cidenices" between ithe positions ,;oî tîle plantets and weathe'r-. But flot un- tiI two years ago, when hac join- ed Dr. Max A. Woodburty's re- search group at NYU, was he given the comiputer-S ta check Out 1is "crazy" ideas. "We really just stumbled on the mnoon cor- relation," said Bradley, who still doesn't know the, explanation for his discovery. "At first, I couldin't believe it. Surely, I f ig-' ured, it would have been noied by now. 1 put off conlpleting, the study vfor cight rmainths." Actually, the correlation hiad- been noticed-and disregarded. The Jewish-J Day off Atonemnent, Yom- Kippur, always faIli in the second week off tht lunai, rnonth, and among devout Jewr, there is an aid saying that it Ilever raîns an Yoni Kipptur." As one off Bradley's Jewish colleagues told hilm: "ehad i11,under our noses ail along, and mnissed it.>" How Con jP By Roberta Lee Q.How can 1 teniderize steaks? A.
