Cremation In -apan IL an HasssA.
ingly Inexpensivs Process,
Says This Account,

The advance OF cremation in Eng
land, shown by the establishment OF
municipal furnace in the north and
the projection of a new matorium
not far outside the four-mile radius in
LONDON. recalls the interesting history
OF Japan in the matter. Cremation
followed Buddhism into Japan about
1900 years ago, but it only partially
superseded the Shinto custom Of dis.
posing of the dead by interment. In
1873 cremation was totally prohibited
by the japanese government, whose
members seem to have had some con-
fused notion as to the practice being
European, and therefore harbarous
Having discovered that, far from
being n-European, cremation was the
goal of European reformers In such
matters. they rescinded their prohi-
bition before two years had elapsed.
Cremation in Japan is carried out In
a somewhat rough and ready manner.
The cheapest process costs about s112.
This is scarcely adapted to western
requirements and is sufficiently de-
scribed by the title which the foreign
residents of certain settlement In
Japan gave to the native cremation
ground among the hills-"Roast Meat

being kept in captivity and who showed
his resentment by nipping at every SOL

of the soldier there was nothing to do

CANAL IDEA IS AN OLD ONE.
Early EaviRators Discussed Cutting
Through the IsthmnA Of
Panama.

The advantage Of canal or naviga-
Panama is so obvious that it is not
surprising to find the idea of such
waterway was seriously considered in
the early days of Spanish conquest in
the new world, says the Newcastle
England Chronicle.
In the year 1927 the famous Cortes,
being then in Mexico (or New SPAIN,
sent three ships on voyage to the Mo-
luccas in charge of Aware De Saavedra.
The expedition was an unfortunate one,
as two of the ships were lost on the
outward voyage, and Saavedra did not
live to carry out his intention OF re-
turning by way Of the city of Panama,
on the Pacific side, and thence across
the isthmus. His view was that at
Panama he might unlade the cloves
and merchandise that he had, that so
in cartes it might be carried across the
planes fouer leagues, to the river
Chagre, which they say is navigable,
running out into the North sea not
far from Nombre de Dios, where the

vedra:

THE cultivation OF rubber, promnt.

Java. 1t was started in 1864 from
plants Of the Fiscus elastica. In
1898 its seventy-two acres, as many
trees to the acre, produced 6.731
pounds OF pure rubber of a value of
1928 above expenses. Importers of

THE VANISHING HANDKERCHIEF.
A Chemical Reaction That Astounded
a Washerwoman.


Washerwoman.
THE facetious chemist took an ordi-
nary cotton handkerchief and soaked
it in nitric and sulphuric acids. Then,
after so long time, he took it out and
rinsed it carefully so as to remove the
free acid. 1t looked then like any
other cotton handkerchief. 1t went to
the washerwoman, who put it through
all the waters that handkerchiefs go
through, hung it out on the line, and
took it in again when it was dry. She
spread it out on the ironing-board, put
the hot iron on it, and-it went away.
There was flash, a puff of smoke, and
then-no handkerchief, not even the
ashes of one. When you consider how
frightened the poor washerwoman
must have been at such goings-on in
the broad, open daylight, how worried
she must have been lest the gentle
man should think she had stolen his
handkerchief-for she was an honest
woman | make no doubt whatever at
least as far as cheap cotton handlser-
chiefs were concerned--and, of course,
she thought he wouldn't believe her
when she told him what had become
of it, you will see at once that this is
really very fine joke, indeed, and
ought to have been in Die Fliegende
Batter.
What happened to the handker.
chief was what happens to the manu-
facture of guncotton. The sulphuric
acid takes the water out of the cellu-
lose and the nitric acid makes an ar
rangement whereby certain amount
of nitryl gets to take the place of 1t so
that when fire is applied Il all burns
at once. Starch is the same thing
chemically as cotton, salue proper
lions OF carbon, hydrogen and oxygen,
only the patterns, so to speak, of the
molecule are different, and out of that
law-abiding box of white grains at
this moment in the left-hand corner of

be made enough nitro-starch to wreck
your happy nome whiie you are saying
Jack Robinson The molasses jug is
just as potent for destruction, and an
explosive is now marketed that is
made from straw, nitrated in the same
way as cotton. or course, you have
heard that glycerine, which is so
good for chapped hands, can be turned
into the most powerful explosive
known by the same combination OF
acids. 1t is so powerful that it has to
be diluted with infusorial earth, each
tiny particle of which, long years ago,
was the shell of little animal that
never dreamed II was going to assist
in torpedoing an oil well. II seems to
me queer use of this terrible de-
structive that 1t should be a medicine,
heart-stimuant. IL anybody is de-
sirous of getting a headache without

only to taste tiny drop of the yellow,
