WIS opened, and, as the body slid in, a
fumc Of smoke from the burnt evergreens
rose from the body. \ fainter odOr Of
burning flesh pervaded the building, but
no unpleasant feature appeared, and
the process was pronounced a sue
cess in every particular. Observations
every ten minutes disclosed the fact
that the remains rapidly shrunk in
size and passed away in vapor and gases.
At the end of the first hour the bones
crumbcd, and the outline of the form
was lost. At the end Of the second hour,
the body was greatly reduced in size,
the larger bones and ribs only being visi-
bic. and they would apparently crumbIe

twenty minutes"
