OF the notoriety which present attaches
to this method of disposing of the dead
The retort has glass covered opening
through which the consumption of the
body can be watched, and in some cases
the sight is terrifying, owing to the &C
ton of the heat upon the muscles. An
uncle took the body of dearly beloved
niece to the crematory. He stood watch
ing the flames consuming the body.

arm, with the fingers of the hand open,
reach upward. Then ali but the index
finger of the hand closed, and the corpse
lay recumbent in the flames, apparently
pointing to the kingdom which is never
invaded by death. The uncle received a
shock fIom which he did not recover for
days Had it not been for the fact that
the girl had been dead for months, and
had been buried for several weeks, the
uncle would have believed that his niece
had been placed in the retort while in a
trance and that she had returned 10 life
