Scarcity of Human Remains.

Sir Charles Lyell, in his "Antiqui~
ty of man. states chat while travel
ing over the bsd of HaaIlem Lake in
1859-it then contained fiyo thou5-
and inhabitants-he was informed
by Mr.. Staring, geoligist for the
Dntch government, that be and his
associates had searched ia vain for
human bones in the deposits which
had constituted for centuries the bed
of the great lake.-Thsre bad been
many a naval fight on the Harlem
Lake, wherein hundreds of Dutch
and Spanish soldiers and sailors met
watery grave. The population
that lived on the borders of the lake
numbered forty thousand souls, az d
the great number of large and small
canals and bitches dug into the re
claimed land, was favorable to the
discovery of human remains, had
there been any bat none were found.
He concludes his subject as follows :
ga corpse csst into tho water first
sinks. and unless it be almost imme-
diately overspread with sediment Of
certain weight, it will rise again
when distended with gasses, and
float perhaps to the sea before il
finally sinks. II may then be at
tackled by fish of marine species, some
of which are capable of digestiug
bones. IL, before being carried into
the sea and devourod, it is enveloped
in fiuviatilo and mud aud sand, the
next flood, if it (tbe corpse) lie in q
mud channel, may tear it out again,
scatter alI the bones, roll some OF
them into pebbles, and leave othors
exposed to destroying agencies, and
this may be repeated annually, till
all vestige of the skeleton disappear.
In connection with this, we recall
the historic event, that when the
Duke of Alga took tho city of Haar-
lem, in 1872, be treacherousIy be-
headed not osIy eighty principal
men, hostages, but two thousand OF
the citizens besides. Then three
hundred were tied back to back and
cast into the lake.-As this was the
easiest way of disposing of corpses,
it is not improbable that by this
butchery nearly two thousand four
hundred were deposited in Haarlem
Lake.
The same scarcity of human re.
mains is noted in Datch peat, al
though implements and works of art
have been found therein; and the
absence of such remains has been as
cribed by scientists to the power OF
humic and sulphuric acids TO dissolve
bones, the peat in question being
plentifally impreguated with such
acids.

wide, were panied below. The one
nearest to her hair was red, the next
black, and the next white; and to
crown all, she was freshly Amounted
