A CURIOUS FAcT.-There is rather an
amusing article in the Scientific Opinion on
the . Proportion of the Sexes" Itsays that
the changes which have taken place in vari-
Gus countries in the proportion Of the male to
the female portion of the population, presents
a curious problem. In England and France
the excess of females is rapidly increasing
while in Austria the contrary is the case. In
Austria the diminution of female births has
been continual and increasing since 1890; at
present it amounts to three tenths per cent.
in six vears-a rate which. if continue for
two centuries, would leave few women in the
country. In England. rs is we'll known the
change is progressing in the opposite direc.
ton Strange. also. that there should be
more female births in town than in rural
districts

CoRPsEs TURNED INTO SPEkMAcETI.-The
Ashtabula Sentinel says Mr. Atkins. the
Recorder states that a curious discovery has
been made in changing the cemetery of
Hartsgrove Centre On opening a number
of the graves the remains were found to be
in 4 complete form, but changed in substance
to a material in appearance between chalk
and tallow, and clnsely resembling sper-
macet. Mr.. Winslow. who was present at
the removal of the remains, says be found at
least tenth of them so changed. some en-
tirely and some only in part The body of
an old gentleman was found entire, with
the woolen clothing upon it changed with
the body to the substance. Many very il.
teresting facts of this kind were observed
details of which we hope to obtain. 1t may
be well here TO remark that this is not new
thing. and the change of bodies Of men and
animals to this material, known as ddipocere.
has long been known to science. About a
century ago in some of the cemeteries of
Paris, where bodies had been buried in i'm
mense trenches holding thousands. the en-
tire mass was found converted to adipocere :;
and repeated discoveries of the kind have
been frequently made since-always with
water in the ground, as we are told was the
case in Hartsgrove. 1t may be counted up
on with some certainty that this will he the
case in all cemeteries where graves fiji with
fresh water, and remained filled, especially
if the ground be porous and springy
