chicago.s Garbage crema,orv.

The city health department of Chicago Is
dircntins considerable attention to the u,ics-
tion of getting rid of the city garbage
Health officer Thompson has been to Dcs
MONIES, Ia, and witnessed the workings of
the garbage crcmatory in that city, of which
he says: "'lhe furnace is TX feet long hy 4
feet q inches wide. has II capacity of sc
yards of garbage daily, and cost, with the
building, about 81 ,iM. About two feet from
the bottonlof tho furnace is Il solid iron plate
and above that, and upon which falls the
substance to l,c burned is n heavy iron graf
ing In the center of the furnace is u circll-
lar hole closed by IL trap into which was
thrown, while watched it, two dead horses.
seven dogs, eighteen barrels of garbage, three
hods Of manure, fifteen bushels of rotten
eggs md three barrels of rotten fish. This
was all consumed in one hour, with no ofIcn-
sivc smell from the combustion and no smoke.
The furnace was cold when started
'lhrrr are two fires, one in front and
another in the rear. The rear fire was
started first. The refuse is dumped upon the
grating through the maDholc, thus being
kept away from the fire so as not to cxtn-
guish it. The heat from the flames in the
front aud rear rapidly dries the matter, and
soon all is burning. Tho theory of the in-
rcntor is that ii there were only one fire, the
combustion would lie offensive. The draught
carries the smoke to the rear fire, which con
sumcs the noxiols gases and destroys all
gernis.a
The Dcs Moines crenatory is simple, and
considered hy Mr.. Thompson ns effective as
any that be has examined and it does not re-
luire much labor to attend it or consume

OUR MoNGoLIAN DEAD.

New Works Chinese Burvins Ground de-
scribed by Wong Chin Foo.
There arc now over 5000 Chinamen in New
York. They support thirty-two general Chi
ncse supply stores, eight large restaurants
five barber shops tour fashionable tailors, six
fortune tcllcrS, nine doctors and four well
til!.sl cemeteries at Evergrccns Ono of these
contains at least $40 Cinnamon, all of whom
died within tho past two years. The second
largest of the quartet is probably that of the
l-nn Gee Tong Benevolent society," 1t con-
tnins about 200 dead. The other two are conf
lmratively new, and have plenty of rooms to
let. In all, the dead population of our New
York Cinnamon is estimated at about 600.
Thus far the mortality among the Chinese
here has been much greater than that of any
other race among us. The nine Chinese
physicians attribute this mortality to their
peculiar diet, the hard climate, and the
nature of the work most of them are COM
PEELED to follow, meaning the laundry and
cigarnlaking business. Over Is per cent of
these deaths have been that of consumption.
In the opinion of most of these doctors half
of the Chinese here would have been dead or
dying were H. not for the reason that most of
them eat American food in place of the rX-
pensIve groceries imported out of China 1t
Is also noted that the majority of the deaths
during tho past Scar have been tho floating
population of the Chinese colony who We're
fond of living in tho several Chinese rcsta,l-
rants on Mott street where is supplied every
variety of foods of Chinese origin produced
upon Chinese soil, and only suitable for
people living in that peculiar climate. Liv-
ing now in IL harder climate, they are nd
visetl by their physicians TO eat harder and
moro nutritious food. Opium smoking; in n
mild form is likewise advocated as n pre-
vemtive to the many dangers of stryms. eli

TO DRY DEAD BODIES.
a Young Inventors scheme for "Kmock
ing Out" Cemeteries and Crrn,atorics

N Young Inventors scheme for "Kmock-
ing Out" Cemeteries and Crematorics.
Another answer to the question of how best
to dispose of the dead has been given by j.
Ii. Meyers, of Washington. He has invented
II plan which he believes to be superior to
cremation, burial or any other ancient or
modern method of treating dead bodies Tho
new MauSocum and Safe Deposit for tho
Dead is the name of this new contrivance,
Mr.. Meyers plan may bc regarded as n
compromise between the two extremes of
ntelmcnt and crenatlon In Il iircproof
bn'idlnS spaces will bc provided Just large
enough to hold IL single coffin. When Il coffin
with Il dead body is placed in one of these the
door OF the apartment is hermctically sealed
i'urnlnS from these apartments are tubes
winch bring air into the dcadrooms and also
carry 1T downward hy forced draft to a
central furnace below, where are consumed
oii gases and fluids escaping from the bodies.
Dead bodies treated in this manner will. in a
short time, it is claimed, become naturally
preserved or dried, and so remain.
Ample provision will he made to prevent
thn rnt"mbns of persons really dead. \ re-
cc'Nlng room will he provided with an cleo
'ri'al apparatus So arranged that the slight
csl movement i'll tho coffin will set off mn
alarm. This will continue for hours, if need
br, ana will also prove an Indicator which
VIII draw attention to the place where tho
movement occurred. If, again, for any rca-
son the removal of the dead should he de-
alrrd, the bodies i'll the mausolcum, unlike
'tl"Se III gloomy pyramids of Gizch, are al
ways accessible and in such state of prcscl-
Na'loh us I" make u transfer practicable and
