to this single purpose OF discovering
how to preserve human bodies in the
flesh SO that they shall be as hard as
statuary and yet retain the lifetime
color. Nor was this all. He aimed to
retain the softness and the dexibility of
flesh in life, and it is reported that he
succeeded in part, for in his studio,
among the hard and stony busts. heads,
arms, feet and entire figures that once
were full of life, he had several hands
Of women which seemed as fresh and
flexible as in life, and he was confident
that he had learned the secret Of con-
verting the whole human body into that
condition.
So careful was he of his process that
he bought the various materials which
he used in different towns and wrapped
them in camphor cloths to disguise
their odor, SO that not even guess
could be made as to what he carried.
He had among the specimens OF his
work the petrified statues of Benedetto
Carroll and Cardinal Sanfeliee Of Ma
pies.
Besides his discovery proper he had
just one other ambition in life. He
wanted to hold chair in one Of the
universities where he could impart in
a suitable manner some of his informa-
ton to his fellows. His friends tried to
get for him ,professorship in univer-
sity, but failed.
To provide bread for himself and
daughter DIR. Marini offered to take a
much inferior post in the university,
but even this he could not get. Sad
dened by his poverty and his failure in
having his work appreciated, he shut
himself up and grew as white as his
petrified bodies. So he passed the six
agonizing months which preceded his
death.

Cobwebs Stop Telegraphine.

A peculiar but very serious difficulty
besets the operation of telegraph lines
in the Argentine Republic. The small
spider of the variety that spins long
cobweb and floats it in the air, is SO
plentiful there that the floating webs
settle on the wires in enormous quanti-
ties.- AS soon as dew falls or a shower
of rain comes up every microscopic
thread becomes wet and establishes
minute leak. The effect OF millions of
such leaks is practically to stop the op-
erations of. the lines, and the govern
ment telegraph department especially
in Buenos Ayres, has been put to vast
Inconvenience by the cobwebs. A num-
Der of expedients have been tried, but
to no avail.
