DEATH Masks.


AMuI0UNEW
Casts % the Faces o. she Dead.
Although there is no mention Of death
masks in the works of Homer, OF In any
OF the later classics. recent explorers have
satisfied themselves that in the early
burials Of all nations 1t was the custom
70 cover the heads and bodies Of the dead
with sheets Of gold so pliable that they
took the impress Of the form and not in
frequently, when in the course Of cen
turies the embalmed flesh had shriveled
OF fallen away, the gold retained the ex-
act cast of the features Schliemann
fonnd n number of bodies !. covered with
large masks of goldplate in repoasst
work. several of which have been re-
produced by means Of engraving in his
" MycenR z and he asserts that there
can be no doubt whatever that each one
of these represents the likeness Of the de-
ceased person whose face it covered.
When Hamlet said that Alexander
died, Alexander was buried. Alexander
returned to dust. he overlooked the fact
that Alexander's dust, instead Of being
converted into loan to stop beer bar
raj, was preserved from corruption by
the process of embalming and from ex.
ternal injury by being cased in the most
precious Of metals Pettigrew, In his
History Of Egyptian Mummies,' says
of the death mask of Alexander that it
was sort of chase work, and of such a
nature that it could be applied so closely
to the skin IS to preserve not only the
form of the body, but also to give the ex-
precision Of the features to the corn.
tenance"
He does not quote his authority for
this statement, but 1t is unquestionably
derived from the account of the death
and burial Of Alexander written by
Diodorus Siculns, who said: And first
coffin Of beaten gold was provided, so.
wrought BY the hammer as to answer to
the proportions of the body; it was half
filed with aromatic spices, which served
rs well to delight the sense as to prevent
the body from putrefaction Then fol.
lows a description OF the funeral chariot,
and of the long line of march from
Babylon to Alexandra, where Augustus
Cesar saw the tomb 800 years later; but
there IL no reference to mask of Alex
ander's face in gold.
The yalue Of a plaster cast as por-
trait of the dead or living face cannot
for moment be questioned 1t must OF
necessity be true to, nature. It cannot
hatter; it cannot caricature. 1t shows
the subject as he was, or is, not only as
others saw him. in the actual flesh, but
ashe saw himself. And in the case Of
the death mask particularly it shows the
subject often as he permitted no one but
himself to see himself. He does not
pose; he does not try to look pleas

This morning at about ii o'clock a
terrible accident occurred on Eighth
street between Austin an Washington
streets. Dave Hayward, an employee
of the Hobson line, was severely if
not fatally burned by an electric cur
rent. He, with some other workmen,
were at work on some feed wires 10
the alley in the rear of Mistrot's store.
In some way not known he got tan
gled IN the wires and by some means
completed circuit. The result is
terrible to state. Being entangled in
the wires and most horribly burned,
he could not get loose nor could his
companions help him. The only
thing they could do was to telephone
toIthe power house aud have the cur.
rent turned off, which was done as
soon as possible AS soon as the cur
rent was off and there was no danger
a rope was fastened to the unfortunate
man and he was lowered to the
ground. He was immedi.
ately carried to the house
the south corner of Austin and Eighth
streets and Drs. Howard, Hengst and
Dress called in. Upon examination
it was found that his right hand was
burned almost to a crisp and that
there was large hole in his right leg
about midway between knee and hip.
1t is very doubtful whether his hand
can be saved and he may loose his Leg
The wound in the leg is by far the
worst. Itlooks as if piece of flesh
weighing pound or more had been
torn from tho limb and the wound
scared with hot iron. The physi-
clans express hope of his recovery but
it will be narrow escape if he does
