A New THEORY Regarding Num-
MIEs.-Having observed that Egyp-
tian mlllnmies could be divided into
two classes, one embracing those
bodies which had been embalmed
intact, and the other including those
bodies which had been eviscerated,
DR.. Gauselback, Swedish chemist
Of repute and Professor OF the Un 9
versity of Upsal, has formed the
opinion that the .mummies Of tho
first class are not really dead, but
are only in q condition Of suspended
animation, the secret of bringing
them again to life having been lost In
support Of this theory he adduces
the result of his own researches and
experiments, one of which consists
in submitting snake to process,
the details of which are, of course,
kept secret, which petrifes it, In
this condition it has been laid aside
for a year or two ut time, and it is
then restored to life by some equally
mysterious vivifying process. This
has now been going on about fifteen
years, and the. snake does not seem
to dislike it. DR.. Gauselback is
said to have applied to the Swedish
Government for leave to experiment
on a condemned criminal, the under~
standing beng that if the expert
ment is successful the criminal shall
receive pardon, because of the
service thus rendered to science and
possibly to humanity.---Jou'7sa1 Of
