Another Mode Of Disposins of the
Dead.

Dead.
The advocates of cremation, says
the Pail Mall Gazette, must look to,
their laarels, which appear likely to be:
wrested from them by German sa-
want, DR.. Won 8teinbeis. His PROPOSE
ed method of disposing of the bodies
of the dead provides against injury TO-.
the living, while it offers no viclence=
to the feeling which shrinks from de-
stroying the corpse of beloved friend
or relative. Decomposition is Of
course an innocuous process, provideda
it's results caanot infect the air. Dr..
Won Steinbeis, therefore proposes to-
cover the body with Roman or Port
land cement, which hardens into q SOL
i'd mass and renders the escape of nox--
ious gases impossible. According to-.
this plan the corpse would be placed in
q sarcophagus Of already hardened ce>
ment, the cavity in which it reposed
would be filed up with the same mate.
rial, and both would harden together :
into a thick slab of a substance resem-~
bling stone. Thus the deceased buried
in this manner would rest within in T.,
stead of under his tombstone, and
grave and monument be comprised in.
the same block Of imitation. granite.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUN.

"But how is it that these comets are
drawn to the sun from such inconceivable
distances outside our solar system, and
then, when rushing as if to plunge into his
fiery furnace, how is it that they are swept
round him, and often SO near that the heat
in which they are enveloped would be SUI
ficient to reduce our globe to gas. and how
is it that, emerging from this tremendous
heat unharmed, these comets are repel!ed
from the sun into the vacuum beyond our
solar system, to return again in their cir.

81 must refer yoa to Professor Proctor S
lectures for the answer which would give
you to these questions. But how such an
attenuated gaseous body as comet can
pass within the heat Of the sun, as you
suggest without being consumed, is most
interesting problem still unsettled.'
ATTENUATION OF THE GAS.
"And are comets never anything but
attenuated gas ?"
"Never anything more, SO far as they
have been carefully observed. Though
nucleus Of the comet of 1861 saw stars OF
the ninth magnitude, and the nucleus of
this appears quite as transparent. Indeed,
this is but fourth class comet at best, and
its nucleus is so attenuated that, if reduced
to ball Of solid matter, you could proba-
bly, hold it in the palm Of your hand"
PROFESSOR HENRY's VIEWS.
Professor Joseph Henry, Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institute, says he has not yet
made observations Of the Coggia comet, and
does not believe it will be visible long
enough to astronomers, in this country at
least, to make any extended observations.
Its rapid movement toward the earth, he
says, can be compared to the approach Of
an engine with head light But nothing
can be seen of the train.
That which is likely to be most valuable
to the scientific world is the use Of the
spectroscope, to ascertain the composition
OF the cometary nebule. This instru-
ment, Of recent invention, has never been
tested upon a comet, and it is expected
that there will now be given to scientists
an opportunity Of applying it to this lum-
inous stranger-the Coggia comet.
