[FOrtRigbFy ReUie1c. Among the
Hindoos, as every one knows, tne
process. of cremation is common. and
at Benares its practice may be observed
at any hour, alike beneath the burn
ing rays of the MONDAY sun and by
the light of the pale moon. Many a
poor sufferer strains his last efforts to
reach the shore of the GangeS. there
to die on followed ground. The ex-
pense of wood for the funeral pyre be-
ing to great to secure burning of the
whole body, it is partly charred and
then sent to float down the holy stream
into the eternity of the sea. The
weather. HindOOS are more formal in
the disposal of their dead. After bath
ing the body in the river it is swathed
in shroud of white, scarlet. or saffron
cOlOred material; sometimes even COW
cred with cloath of gold or silver,
some vermiliOn paint, symbolizing the
blood of sprinkling, is then thrown
over it, and the body is laid upon the
pyre. After adding sweet grass, pre-
clous oil, and more wood, the chief
mOurner bears q lighted torch three or
nine times round the body, touches
the head lips with the holy flame, and
lights the pyre. Then it is kindled in
several other places, and in very
short time the body, Is consumed by
the flame, the ashes are gathered up,
and the Ganger bears them away In
Japan cremation is not so publicly
performed. A plain-lOOking house in
the corner of the country cemetery,
with mud walls and earthen floor, in
side of which are seven or eight low
stone Enclosures serves as a creama-
tory. The body, in a sitting attitude,
IS placed on q heap of dry fagOts in
one of the Enclosures, and when after
six or eight hours the fire is burned
out, nothing is left but a few white
ashes, those are put into an earthen-
ware urn and buried with ore without
religious rites The burning of bod
les is not compulsory in Japan, but
the BuddhiStS of the Monte sect are
nearly without exception cremated.
The town crematOries differ only from
those in the country by their tall
by which unpleasant odors
are kept from becoming troublesome
to the neighborhood There is also a
small room kept separate for the veal
thier people In which they have their
dead buried apart For the use of
this private apartment they pay 20
while those who prefer to be
burned in company pay about the fifth
Part of this sum. The fuel only cost
one shilling. From p. M. to 6. a. IN.
the fires burn on the grant supports
which are laid on the earthern floor,
and from each of these hearths the
ashes are gathered and put separately
into an urn. There is no smell to an
noy any one, and no nuisance. Ter
rible as cremation may appear to some,
the process is far less hidious in It's
details than that which has it's slow
course in the deep narrow bed into
which the fiOwer-covered coffin is low

now so common that the description
of the machinery for picking up q
broken one Will be read with interest.
1t consists of a rope about an inch and
quarter in diameter, made from the
strongest hemp, with interviewer
wires of fine steel The grappel at
the end is merely solid shaft of iron
some two feet long, and weighing
about one hundred pounds, and pro
lOnged into six blunt hooks, which
resemble the partly closed fingers of
the human hand. In picking up the
cable in deep water the Minia, after
reaching the waters near the break,
lets out her rope and grappel, then
takes a course at right angles to the
cable and at some distance from the
fracture, so that the broken ends may
not slip thrOuge the grapple. The
grapple-rOpe is attached to a dynam
ometer, which exactly measures the
strain on the rope, and shows unerr-
ingly when the cable has been caught
If the grapple fouls a rock the strain
rises very suddenly to high point;
but the exact weight Of the cable

on the cable far below. The ease and
certainty with which cables are picked
up in these days is amazing A while
ago one of the lines of the Anglo
American company was caught with
out trouble at a depth of two and
quarter miles near the middle of the
Atlantic. Capt. Troot, of the Minia,
who has won great fame for his skill
and ingenuity in cable matters, but
recently picked up the French cable
$50 miles off St. Pierre, and in four
hours from the time the grappel was
let go had the cable spliced and in
working condition. The splicing is a
work of great skill, and when accomp-
ished by trained fingers the spliced
part can scarcely be distinguished
from the main cord.-Age Of Steel
