A French journal relates story OF
wealthy farmer who died many years ago, and
on digging a grave in close proximity to where
he had been buried, the bones were aeclden-
tally exhumed On examination, brilliant par
ticles of metallic lustre were found, which on
being collected presented aeonsiderable guam
tty of oxide of mercury. Thus for thirty five
years the mercury had been preserved almost
without alteration in the body Of the deceased,
who had probably made frequent use of the
metal during the latter part Of his life.
