NEW SYSTEM OF EMBALMING.-Ihe French
papers speak OF q new system Ot embalmng, the in
ven.ion OF NJ Audiner. 1t differs from the stems
hitherto in the manner of introducing the

to make lnclsons IN the body for this purpose,
but NJ AudIgier introduces IL by the mouth and
also rubs the SKIN with vegetable powder impreg-
mated with the same liquid. The latter part of the
ing may be formed after the body been aced
in the coffin. The official report states that after the
lapse OF twelve months, bodies which had been SUBJ
mted to the process were in perfect state OF pre-
servat on, the flesh having become as hard as wood.
