A primitive notion existed among the Romans and other races that a bridge was an offense and injury to the river god, as it saved people from being drowned while ferding or swimming across and robbed the deity of a cer tain number of victims which were his due. For many centuries in Rome propitiatory offerings of human vic tims were made every year to the Ti ber. Men and women were drowned by being bound and flung from the wooden Sublician bridge, which, till nearly the end of the republican pe riod, was the one and only bridge across the Tiber in Rome, Strategy.

The payment of this biood tax—origl- nally three white mares, but later three rows of a particular breed and color has been made ever since, the custom (it 18 nothing more) having survived even the great wars In which both France and Spain have engaged and the storm of the French revolution, Yearly the representative men of the two valleys meet on the frontier at a certain stone remote from any town and go through the ceremony of pre- senting and receiving the cattle. The order of procedure, which is elaborate and impressive, is fixed by a document bearing the date 1375, though the tax was pald a hundred years prior to that time.
