There is II man in Denver who has
an idea that the country ought to
give up the present method of dis
posing OF dead bodies and adopt one
which he suggests. llc does not adj
vocatc cremation, nor anything else
which, SO far rs is known, appears to
have been suggested by any other
person. His scheme is to freeze the
dead body in wat"r, take the block
Of ice in which the body has been
frozen and carry it to The North and
deposit il on the shores Of one of the
Arctic seas. lie says that he has
already made some favorable pro

cate is considering the establishment
of an international cemetery on the
shores Of Baifin's bay, where, he
says, that future generations may
go TO find the faces of their anccs-
tors Of the nineteenth century as

Evil is talked Of, but good is taken

Most things that arc said to be
smart will not bear analysis.
No man was ever strong enough

Evil takers should be arrested for

Yes, for long time the question as to the
nature of sponges was greatly debated by
scientific men. But We think it is now
generally admitted that sponges are aggre-
cations of the lowest type of animal life.
Yet, different kinds Of sponges differ in their
character, so to speak, or make up. If
some kinds of spOnges are cut in two with a
knife, the sponge will again unite even if
not placed together again in the same way.
But some other kinds will not do this.
Whcrc spGn.es are affixed to rocks they ac-
