Giving Up Their Dead.

An interesting and important point
concerning tho finding bodies of drowned
persons in the Mississippi river is made
by Deputy Coroner Preadow, of st.
Louis, who has been engaged in sccur.
ing and caring for these bodies for near
ly twenty years. April is the great
month for the finding Of bodies in the
river. Then is the time when what they
term the five and six monthers are found.
Bodies that have been at the bottom OF
the river all winter always rise in April.
In fact, all the cases of drowning in tho
winter are surely heard of in April, il
ever. Most cases of drowning, the fig
ures prove, take place in August.
Then, the water being warm, the
body rises to the surface within
lorty-eight hours after its disappear
ance. In May, the body that goes
to the bottom il seldom heard Of until
nine days have passed by. The temper
AZURE of the water governs the time. So
long as the water is cold tho body is pre-
served. As soon as the water commences
to change from cold to warm the tissues
expand and soften, and tho body be-
comes filed like sponge with water.
This equivalent weight makes the body
weigh less than the water and it rises to
the surface.
