FLESH TURNED TO STONE.
Wonderful Developments in the Petrifacrior
of the Human Body.

Wonderful Developments in tho Perrifaction
of the Human Body.
The old idea of covering dead bodies with
film of metal and SO rendering their
face and form practically imperishable, has
lately been revived, but it can hardly be
said to have been received with favor. The
petrifaction of the human body, however,
is a field in which for many years italian
scientists have worked with no little success.
The process at present adopted is only a
partial rediscovery OF the secret process OF
Segato, the Florentine. The body of Joseph
Mazzini was BY it turned into almost trans
parent marble, and when on the fifth ami
versary of the death of the patriot his CO fin
was opened in the presence of some of his
faithful followers, they found his face quite
unchanged.
Some of the bodies thus treated are solid,
permanent petriiactions; some are provis-
ional, capable OF returning to fresh condi-
ton; all preserve the fullness and trans
parency OF life, while most are in a pliable
condition. 1t is stated that ali the varied
members of the body are hard at first. but
become, after a while supple, and even
capable of furnishing studies in the anatomy
OF muscles, veins and nerves.

day, and being good marksmen they sue
ceeded in providing the table with venison
and fowl, while the sailors remaining on the
ship brought many fish from the water to
the frying pan.
There are no marshes or lowlands near,
consequently no malaria, or so-called
African fever. A more pleasant or more
healt,lful location for the camp could not
have been selected, nor one better adapted
to the landing of instruments which had to
be set up and adjusted in short time. One
day half dozen natives, with teeth filed to
a point in true cannibal style, came from
far in the interior to take a look at us.
Ever anxious to get photographs of such
novel groups, began to set up my camera,
but no sooner did point the lens at them
to take focus than away they scampered, de-
feating all my endeavors.
Already Prof. Cleveland Able had erected
his meteorological station, and was assidu-
ously making observations of the clouds
and weather. Hour after hour he PAGES
around "his barrel" but, alas! his zeal was
too strong, and the tropical sun shining
with such uuaccustomed heat upon him
almost roasted his bare feet and put him in
a sick bed for several DAYS.
A DANGER SIGNAL ASHORE.
On December IA we had another visit from
band of natives. These succeeded in
photographiDg. That night and the next
day it was noticed that they fingered around,
having established camp about mile
away. On the night of the 18th we all had
come off to the ship. leaving the camp in
charge Of the marine guard. The night
was beautiful. Orion looked calmly down
upon us, resplendent with his golden belt
and diamond-pointed sword. There were
only few clouds banked in the east, few

ever, every man was at his post. Prot. Todd,

and the 25 instruments erected on it. Mr..

A GLIMPSE OF NATURE
After the eclipse felt at greater liberty
to look about me; so, the next morning I
started for walk of several miles up the
riverbed into the interior. Gorgeous hued
butterflies fitted about my head; but no.
ticed most of all after getting away from the
sea breeze, something which filled the air
like fine snow. Snow nine degrees south
latitude! In curiosity l caught little on
nv hand and found that it was cloud of
very small insects, differing from butterflies
only in size.
Through the grass ran hundreds OF lizards
varying in length from one to IL inches.
Large ant-hills were here and there on the
banks of the riverbed and birds of gay
plumage fitted about in the ivory trees. 1t
was very enjoyable to walk through and
among these interesting objects of nature,
but as soon as instruments could be packed
and houses taken down we left for Saint
