1ScREMArroN.- The Rev Charles Vey-
sey. an eminent English clergyman, comes
out strongly in letter to the London In
der in favor of the new plan. He pro-
poses that when death has cnsued the body
should be chemically destroyed. ami
then he says. it should be placed IN
some receptacle containing those powerful
agents known to chemical science. which
would simply annihila,e the outward form.
aud practically destroy it. There would
necessarily be some deposit which one
might call ashes of the dead; and these
might be reverently gathered and placed
in beautiful urn or vase. to be disposed
Of according to the wishes of the suryi-
vors. They might easily bc deposited in
consecrated places. in inches in the walls
Of churches, or in mortuary chapels de-
signed for their reception. This, too,
might be accompanied By religious SER
vice; so tha, the religious element is left
untou chcd By my revolutionary proposal.
The advantage of all this to people of hi gh-
ly wrought feelings would be immense.
can imagine the peaceful calm which would
steal over the mind when one could take
reveren.ly into ones hand the sacred urn
and say. This holds all that remains Of
my beloved No horror Of dark vaults
and damp graves, with their sccthing cor
rup;ion. No precious body being eat
en- pieccmeal by worms OF the Garth, or
melting away in loathsome stream
The form is changed; the substance real
ly remaining after chemical burning is nc;
in the least degree suggestive of the past
or future. The body is thereby saved
from every dishonor, purified from every
decay. No words can describe the relief
which such process would bring to many
an afflicted soul. On the ground Of health
to the community, it would be most salu-
tary. We little know, in England a, least.
what mischief is brewing for US in our
scething cemeteries. They are gct,in.

how many hundred corpses day, the lat

tial gases. | know of one old cemetery

pctually raging. The danger would no,

Having seen the above paragraph cop

pounded. We will venture the application
to the Creeping of rails on roads running
north and south. the same theory that is
given as cause for the more rapid wear
ing away Of the western banks Of rivers.
which runs south or north. viz : he rott-
tion Of the earth on its aris. This move
ment, being from west to east, has ten
dency to throw the waters Of rivers run
ming parallel with the earth's axis against
their western banks; and hence the more
rapid wearing away on that side.
SO Of railroad train. the eastward mo-
ton of the earth. il its daily revolution,
presses the fanges of the wheel against
the west rail and causes it to move either
north or south. according as the excess Of
transportation is in the one direction or
the other, or as the north or south end Of
the road is more or less elevated than the
opposite extreme. In the case cited, the
southern end of the road being some l5O
feet lower than the northern. the rails
very naturally move dorm .hW. The
fact that this motion in railroads, can be
accurately determined. may be considered
not only as positive proof on the supposed
action of the water upon river banks. but
also of the truth Of the theory generally

age to Egypt recommended in such cases
in those days Both Bournemouth and
Arachon at the present day owe a good
deal oftheir reputation to their pine woods.
The air of the latter is said to be distinc-
lively scdatiye. On the whole, then. the
air of the pine woods of the Black Fores,
may be regarded as an element entering
into consideration of the value ofi,s baths.
But besides merely irha,ing the air of
its forests, people have of late gears made
much use of the products o: pine in baths.

is not entirely modern for the anc;eu,s

vexatiOu to persons who are subject to it.
Nothing is simpler than to remove this

as are in use. Ii is only necessary to pro-
cure some of the compound spirits Of am
