OCR Text	Show oo CRIME DETECTED BY "RICE ORDEAL" Practical use of a well-known anatomical anat-omical fact is made in India in the detection of crime. Great anxiety as well as great anger tends to suppress the flow of saliva in the mouth. In what is known as the "ordeal of the rice," the Hindus line up several persons per-sons suspected of a crime and give them consecrated rice to chew. After a time the contents of the mouth are forced out on a consecrated fig leaf. If anyone ejects the rice dry. It is taken as proof of his guilt, the Judges reasoning that fear of discovery dis-covery had. stopped salivary secretion.
