DEAD BoDIEs.-A DR.. George Hay, q
chemist, advances plan for disposition Of
of the dead bodies of human bsiDgs. He
advocates an economic distribution of the
remains, 80 that they may return to the ele.
ments as soon as possible, If for no other
purpose than to furnish fertilizer. Dr.
Hay would pulverize the body with the aid
of machinery. He says: 1.-THE machines
might be contrived 80 as to break the bones
first in pieces the size of hen egg, next in
fragments the size of marble, and the
mangled and lacerated mass could next be
reduced by means of cbopping machines and
steam power to mincemeat. At this stage
we have a homogeneous mixture of the en-
tire body structures in the form of a pulpous
mass of raw meat and raw bones"
This mass should now be dried thorough
ly be means of steam heat at temperature
of $50 degrees, or pressure of thirty pounds
to the inch; because, firstly, we wish to re.
duce the material to condition convenient
for handling, and, secondly, we wish to dis
infect it, as 20 infectious or contagious dis
ease can retain it's vitality at this tempera-
ture. Once in this condition it would
command q good price for the purpose of
manure.
Another method is by boiling in close vessels
The oil which would rise to the top may be drawn
off to DO converted into sosp or lubricant The
residue may by various simple processes be con-
verified into fertilizing material. His final and
most brilliant suggestion is the "distillation
method" The bodies are to be placed in gas re-
torts and in about six hours will be converted in
to Illuminating gas, water, ammonia tar and ami
NAL charcoal. By subsequent Installations, such
substances IS sulphate of ammonia, aniline colors

Mrs. NJ. NJ Hall, of Clinton, Ia,
who has recently been here visiting
her sister, Mrs. W. II. Wilder, met
with a remarkable experience at Roch-
ester last week. She was the guest of
a friend, Mrs. Page, of hat city, whose
husband conducts q harness business
there. Among other places the ladies
visited was Powers art gallery and
the tower. While at the latter place
Mrs. Halls veil became detached from
her hat and a slight breeze quickly
waited it over the railing and out Of
reach. Down it went toward the Main
street walk, 100 feet below. The ladies
stood and watched its slow and waver-
ing descent until it had nearly reached
the pavement. Suddenly it struck an.
other current of air and was borne
upward again. The ladies watched its
graceful movements curiously and be-
came more and more interested as the
airy fabric slowly travelled back in al
most the same route it had taken in its
descent, and their surprise knew nc
bounds when the veil actually re.
turned to the tower and settled down
fairly and squarely on the owners
head. Mrs. Hall declares this to be
the fact, and those who met the lady
here certainly have no reason to doubt
her word.-Caledonia Advertiser.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-Atter the
transactioni of some preliminary business
the senate took up the tariff bill at sched-
ule 81" at cotton manufacturers. Coke
read, with many comments, the testimony
of Thos. O'Donnell, a spinner in Fall
River, Mass. showing for himself and
wife and two children that he had not
earned $3.50 in a year; that he had had no
help from the outside, but that he had
little fuel or food the preceding winter;
that his wife had only had one dress cost
ing about 81 since her marriage, six years
before; that this conditions of things
existed for more than six years; that it
was not confined to him. but that there
could not be less than a thousand opera
tives In Fall River in like condition.
That" said Nh. Coke. rs the condition
of the protected workingmen, to pay
whom and to support whose families the
American people are taxed an average OF
81 per cent on everything they eat, drink
or wear, ever on the grave clothes OF the
dead"
Dawes admitted that such cases did
exist, but he asked Coke which was the
batter remedy, to furnish employment or
take il away. He showed that the amount
of deposits in the Massachusetts, savings
banks was s3I5. 900. 900 and that rs per
cent OF that amoun was held by working
people.
Hawley said he did o know in the
state of Connecticut any such people as
O'Donnell. There were everywhere some
shift!ess, drinking, idle men who could
not get a living. But in the savings
banks of Connecticut, with a population
of GRO, 900. the deposits amounted to
$l02, 000. 900, mostly the savings of SER
vants and operatives, and Massachusetts
had a proportionete amount in her savings
banks. These two facts were a most
emphatic answer to what the senator from
Texas had been saying about the condi-
ton of the people of New England.
Hoar also replied to Coke. He denied
that there was any such condition of
things as described. The stuff the senator
from Texas talked of was pure nonsense.
The discussion went over without action
on Vests amendment.

A Supplemental Report.

WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-Governor
Moonlight of Wyoming has submitted to
the secretary of the interior a supple
mental report on the population of that
territory. In explanation of his purpose
in making the report the governor says:
The question of the population of-Wyo-
ming seems at present to be agitating the
minds of the people of the territory, our
delegate in congress and many other peo-
pie, and as from recent publications and
quotations it will be seen that the reports
of the governor for 1887 and 1888 are
quoted as authority by those seeking to
make the population large, l have deemed
It proper. IN Justice to myself and for the
sake of truth, to make this report"
He then quotes from the reports of the
governors of the territory for the last
several years, showing the then estimated
population. In 1885 Governor Warren),
81, 200; 1886 Governor Warren), rs, 900;
1887 Governor M%oonlight), $4,000; 1888
Governor Moonlightl, $4,000. His own
estimates, the governor says, were based on
former reports and inquiries among the
people, as no census has been taken since
1880.
He is satisfied that his previous estl-
mates were too high. He bases his iudg-
ment on the number of votes cast for
delegate in November. This vote was
lS,00S, from which the governor estimates
the real population to be about 55, 500.
