A movement has been set on foot in
Italy toward erecting in one of the prin-
cipal towns an electrical crcmatorium.
In this cdiGce the corpses will be in
stantly consumed by means Of an intense
heat caused by electricity. Various Eu-
ropean cremation societies are reported
to have despatched representatives to
Italy to make inquiries as to the feasi-
bility of the scheme, which it is expect
ed will, if successful, very soon replace
the more elaborate methods now adopt
ed. Partisans of cremation are sanguine
that the introduction of electricity would
instantly remove the objections held by
many European States against the burn
ing of bodies. Dogs have already been
subjected to the process by the inventor,
with considerable degree of success.
Their bodies forthwith evaporated into
nothingness, aud there was preceptible

ing flesh which inhabitants of Woking

Admiral Aube of the French Navy
seems to be a wide-awake and lively old
salt. His new gunboat has been tried
and found worthy, her speed being over
nineteen miles an hour. He proposes to
build a great feet of these boats, each
carrying a single gun of the most pow,
erful description. Half a dozen of such
boats, it is now believed, would be more
effective in naval engagement than one
large ironclad ship. A first class man
of-war of the modern type would, it is
thought, be as powerless against fleet
of such lively little gunboats as a bull
against a swarm of hornets. The Ger
mans are also turning their attention to
smart gunboats cf pretty much the same
kind, and possibly in the near future
competitive examinations in the tactics
of this new marine cavalry may form
part of the programme of naval service
reform.
