CREu4T1Oy Us. pUTREFICAT1ON.

Asa cure for the superstitions that
are 30 rife in the world q German
scientist suggests that cremation OIL
the body be resorted to in place OF
burial. He claims that all the super
stitions of skeleton ghosts wandering
around grave yards in tsttered shrouds
and the toothless grimace would van
ish from the memory of ghost story
tellers and children, and weak minded
persons would no longer have real
subject upon which to excite their
imagination and fears.
That suggestion is good one and
would do some good, but very few are
injured mentally by the belief in
ghosts caused by the realities of the
grave yard compared to the thousands
who are subjected to the poi2on OF
disease by the miasmatic efiluvia that
rise through the ground after
percolating through underground
channels until they rise to the surface
and scatter poison all over the land,
breathed into the lungs by the healthy
aud making epldemics common to all
localities. This is the most awful
effect of burying thousands Of bodies
In one spot, and that spot generally in
the immediate neighborhood of popu-
lOus communities.
Three hundred years after a plague
had decimated certain locality in
Italy, through the cemetery in which
tho bodies of the victims were buried,
a railroad dug tunuel, when the
plague broke out again in all
its virulence, and the railroad COM
pany, after losing by death number
of workmen, was compelled to aban-
don the route Other just as strong
evidences there are of the fact that
graveyards poison not only the ground
upon which they are located but for
hundreds of yards around them, some
times the germ of the disease appear
ing in spring miles away. During
the late war company of soldiers
were encamped In beautiful grove
halt mile from cemetery. Diar'
rhna appeared among them and ii
became so fatal that re oval of the
camping grounds was made, and then
no more cases appeared. The custom Of
burial has become so fatal to the living
that the most intelligent Of the pop
ulation near cemeteries are protesting
against their extension and ifthey had
the temerity would advocate crema
to les so that by incarceration the evils
attending decomposed bodies would
be obviated. There Is always preju
dice against any new custom and es
pecially when 1t touches the sacred
ness of our dead. This is all foolish
prejudice and even In q sentimental
way cremation would be preferable
Certainly the contemplation of tn,
decomposed condition of our friends
would shock us more than to know
they were not food for worms
but that they had been guard
ed against this by being reduced
to ashes and inferred in chambers
dedicated to our household code. How
much more beautiful and delightful Ii
would be to change our cemeteries
into parks, and il thought best en-
bellish these parks with monuments
to our loved ones? Where their sacred
ashes might be entombed aud where
we might roam at pleasure, recurring
to lost associations, and not be sub
jected to milsmatlc exhalations dan
gerous to our health and life.
