Polling water shall he poured on their heads and on their skln.i, and they shall be beaten with maces of iron.’' In the Scandinavian mythology, the mythology of Odin and Thor, we are told that “in Nnstrond there is a vast nud direful structure, with doors that ' face the north. It Is formed entirely of the backs of serpents, wattled to gethor like wickerwork. But the ser pents’ heads are turned toward the In side of the hall, and They continually send forth floods of venom, in which wade nil those who commit murder or forswear themselves." Rather.
