CREMATION PERMITTED IN GERMANY
Among other classical revivals IL would be
strange If the ancient method OF disposing
OF the dead were not included. Shelley was
one OF the frst OF the modeyns TO have his
body consumed by fire, and recently atten-
ton was called TO the practice OF cremation
deal TO which q we'll known EngIishman
submitted. The PrussIan authorities would
sanction the innovation on orthodox usage
only on condition that IL should be regarded
as a strictly scientific experiment ana every
detail OF the process thus became the subject
OF description and comment In the medical
journals. The Duchy OF Saxe-Gotna has
now announced that IL will exact less stern
conditions; and IL would seem that the town
OF Goths has gone so far as to undertake to
erect the necessary apparatus, for which IL
has received q sum or IS 900 marks from the
German Society for the Promotion of Gre
nation. The mode In which q mans body
shall be disposed of after his death is a mat

the law has 10 reason to concern itself; but
10 is clear that whatever may be The advau-
tages OF cremation on sanitary or other
grounds, 1t is open TO the objection that IL
might readily be made cloak for crime.
Accordingly the SAKE Gotha police have
very properly received strict Instructions to
forbid the cremation OF any bodies where
doubt exists as to the cause OF death. In all
cases the bOdies are TO be subjected TO pm ex-
animation by com Jetent medical officers
before they are permitted TO be burned, and
1T is added that "bodies sent from abroad are
subject TO the same or even more stringent
rules" At hrst no body is to be burned
unless the deceased person has so directed
and his friends have given their consent.
These precautions appear TO be proper and
reasonable, and the progress or cremation in
Saxe-Gotha will now be observed with in
teIest.
