ADIPoCERE.

Our local columns yesterday contained
an account Of the discovery of curious
change in the body of child buried many
years ago at Folsom. This change was
supposed to be petrifsction. We have no
doubt that this supposition is erroneous,
and that as a fact the body has been con-
verted into the substance called adipocere.
When body is buried in An almost or
quite air.tight case, and in damp soil, it
sometimes happens that very curious
chemical operation takes place. The adj
pose tissues undergo degeneration ints
acids (oleic and margaricl which, uniting
with ammonia and lime, precipitated from
the wet soil and the decaying tissues,
combine in saponaceous matter that grad
uslly acquires waxy consistency. In
this way petrifaction is arrested, the out
lines Of the body are preserved, and when
it is taken up its weight and hardness very
frequently create the impression that it has
been converted into stone. We notice
that in the account which We published it
was stated that the clothes in which the
child had been buried had been "petri-
fed" in the same way as the body.
This we take to be mistake. 1t is evil
dent that the chemical process which re-
suits in adipocere cannot take place in
linen or wooden fabrics.

Gone, sister, to thy place of rest;
Gone from these troubled dreams Of life
To sainted spirits in their rest,
From weary pains and gloomy strife
Would that the heavenly joys which glow
In realms untouched by human sight,
Toward stricken hearts could backward flow
And change our darkness into light.
Would that thy spirit voice could bear
Through endless space greeting tone,
And tell Of friends who meet thee there
Who long have left our changing home.
But know we well our Father hides
The glory of the coming day,
And speaks to all where faith abiGes
To take the cross and watch and pray.
