An unfortunate known to tho medical
profession and TO frequonters Of dime
museums MS tho "Ossiiiod Man" died
lately at Lewiston, N. Y. lie was fifty
years old, and his body had been gradu-
ally turning TO bone for many years
past. First, the strange hardening at.
fected his joints, then spread slowly
through his limbs, finally attacking his
body When Mt last the deadly deposit
OF bone material reached tho valves Of
tho heart, II was all over with poor
Jonathan Bass, and he died.
Tho papers made a wonder Of him and
spoke Of him after his funeral us IL ho
were tho only ossilied man and freak
OF nature that would not soon DO 70.
pcatcd But they were wrong. There
arc ossiGed people all about us-mon
and constantly. Thoy do no,
show themselves In museums, for the
ossiiication has not manifested itself
outwardly, but they are true examples
of how the soft parts Of human nature
can stiticn and harden till they arc like
bono. The difference between them aud
Jonathan Bass is that in their case the
ossihoation begins ut the heart instead
of ending thore. 1t does not kill them
apparently, though it does really, for
these old fossils are merely walking and
talking automatic. For all the good they
do anybody thoy might as well have
been dead and buried long ago.
