Statues Of Corpses.

The pleasing possibility of Transforming
the dear deceased into marblelike statue
that may be set in niche or on pedestal
was suggested to the members of the
Academy of Sciences Of Paris recently by
Mr.. Mortin, who read a paper detailing his
discovery of a process of converting animal
matter, before decomposition sets in, into
a substance resembling marble, being
sufficiently hard to allow of its being
sculptured. He called the attention Of the
society to the possibility of his invention,
which he has taken the precaution to pat
ent, being utilized to preserve human bodies
after death. Inasmuch as this marblelike
substance can he sculptured, it is possible
to remedy little physical defects that, I'M
noticed or at least not o5trusive in life,
might detract from the attractiveness of a
statue

A DARING MPOSTOR.
How "Lord Henry Pembroke Cavendish'
Fooled the Antipodeans.

For an English commoncr Of fair address

For an English commoncr Of fair address
to pass himself of in the United States as
! noblemnn is such an everyday occurrence
that it may be said to have hut little dan
ger in 1t. 1t would certainly require q
great deal Of daring or total absence Of
sense for man without shadow Of war
rant to attempt to pass for lord in Eng
land or in ono Of her colonies, and yet this
very thing was successfully done inAus-
tralia q few years ago.
The governors of all the British colonies
Of Importance are men of title, and, rs q
rule, of the privileged "house Of lords"
class, as some ono has called 1t.
In 1892 Lord Glasgow was governor Of
New Zealand, Lord Jersey Of New South
Wales and tho Earl Of Hopetoun of Vic
toria. At tho same time one Of tho most
prominent statesmen in England was the
Duke Of Devonshire, who as the Marquis
Of Harrington had been q leading Liberal

AS every one knows, the family name Of
the Duke of Devonshire is Cavendish, pro-
nounced "Kan-dish, and the male men,
bers Of his family below the peer, who is q
marquis, takc by courtesy the title Of lord.
1t will DO remembered Lord George Fred

duke, was murdered some years ago in

Deyoured nv Wolves

Notwithstanding tho construction Of so
many roads and railways in the interior of
Russia, the wolves are apparently not de-
creasing in numbers. Only recently, says
ST. Petersburg correspondent, II pack of
these voracious creatures attacked and tore
to pieces a woman in the neighborhood Of
Tsatitzin, on the Volga. The woman was
warned by peasant not to proceed on her
way. 1t is a curious fact that her infant
child, which was swnthed in cloth, miracu-
lousy escaped. The wolves in their eager
ness to devour the mother apparently quite
overlooked the child.

found to be dead four red lines are drawn

When the blood fails to feed the

the cure must be in making the blood

Is coming to America, and he is bringing
his coffin with him. In China it Is the
custom for wealthy men to purchase the
Baskets in which they intend to be buried
and they remain n suggestive part Of the

death.
Tt has also been q custom for wealthy
Celestials to carry their collins with them
on their travels through the empire, SO
that their bodies might be placed immedi-
ately In the receptacle designed for it in
case of death. But no record is made Of
any Chinaman having taken his coffin out
side of his country.
Now Ii Hung Chang, one of tho five
richest men in the world, has not only
done that, but he is carrying it with him
on his trip around the world. 1t is the
most conspicuous article of the vice regal
baggage.
Tho coffin is made Of mahogany. and
the wood was cut from n single tree trunk
The bottom is curved and rests on sup
ports at either end. Its exterior is veDeered
with highly decorated carved wood. The
coffin is 8 feet inches long, feet wide
and nearly feet doep. 1t is fitted inside
with costly silk and metal ornaments
Many suits of uniform are always kept in
it. When the viccroy is buried, some cost

placed inside rs tribute to the spirit who
