THE SECRET OF EMBALMlNG.
a West Virginia Man Who Claims to
Know 1t All.

West Virginia Man Who Claims to
Know 1t All.
CLARKsBJ RG, w. Va, Feb. 4-Froham H.
Hanerick an old German farmer living
near Philippi, in Barbour county, has long
claimed to have the secret of embalming
as practiced by the ancients. He processes
to be able to preserve both animal and veg
etable subst ances without decay for an I'M
limited period. Mr.. Hanerick is not I'M
known, for earned men from all parts of
the world have visited him, and he is an
honorary member of scientific societies in
France, Belgium and other countries. He
talks willingly about his attachments in
the art of embalming, but jealousy pre-
serves the secret of his process.
His Uncanny Companions.
The home of the hermit, for Hanerick
lives alone among the uncanny tributes to
his skill, is a log hut in the wilderness,
two and half miles from the village of
Philippi Upon entering the hut visitor
sees two dead bodies stretched on long
tables and looking as though they were
persons asleep. These are the bodies of
former inmat es of the state insane asylum
the directors of which turned them over
to Mr. HaneIick for experimental purposes
over year ago. The dark lines of the
veins are plainly marked, and the limbs
though rigid are like life.
Other Evidences of His Skill.
Scattered about the room are stationary
dogs, cats, IN 1skrats, squirrels. and other
animals, apparently hypnotized, but really
having been dead from a few weeks to sew
eral years. ldr. Hanerick will not state
what tempted him to operate in en-
