says that cremation does not mean the
burning of the body by fire. The cof-

to a temperature of 1000 degrees. No
fame devours the body, nothing but
the heated air, and to the moment of
its falling together in white ashes the
body lies untouched and the process is

the bill, which increases the size Of
the army, but cuts the term of active
