only of the growth OF the hair after
death, but also of its virtual indestruc-

was brought before public notice at the
monthly meeting Of a society Of anti
quaries- A member produced q photo
graph Of the back hair Of a young
Roman lsdy, who, Judging from a coin
found lying under her colin, must have
lived about the time OF Constantine.
When the coffin was opened il was seen
that the body had been buried in gyp-
sum with the head on a pillow. The
front part Of the skull had given way,
SO that the back OF the head was thrown
forward, and on it was long folded
tress Of female hair with two ct pins
remaining in it. It was OF lovely au-
burn color and in excellent preservation.
