.Cremated" is becoming a favorite
word with reporters in describing fires
where there is loss of life; but 1t is
not an accurate use of the word. In
the improved furnaces now used in cre-
matories there is no contact of flesh with
fires. The heat is 1000 degrees or more.
AT this temperature the body simply
withers away to pure white ash. The
gases generated are burned in a separ-
ate chamber, and there is absolutely no
smoke, odor or other unpleasant attrib-
ute to offend sensibiliJies. The fur
naces cost from $3, 900 to $4,000.

The Toledo, Ann Arbor and
Northern Michigan railroad is now
fixed fact, and all that is required to
ensure its construction through this
city is that the people between a
point four miles north of Bancroft
and the Gratiot county line via Elsie,
shall purchase S65,ooo of the first
mortgage bonds at par. These
will be good investment we
have no doubt, and there should be
no trouble in getting them taken in
the next few weeks. In fact, we can
name ten persons who ought to take
$4,000 Of them as matter of self
protection.
