break of the plague in Egypt, in 1928,
to the opening Of disused burial
ground about twelve or fourteen miles
from Cairo.
In the discussion Of the subject of
cremation, great advance has been
made in the last few years. The theory
has gained victory, but there yet re-
mains widely diffused prejudice
against the practice. And yet, in this,
man only seeks the best method of do
ing natures work in her own way, but
more quickly than she can do it unas-
sisted. He only aims at the encompass
ment Of the rapid reduction of the
body by means of heat which purifes
eyery erhalation, and leaves but pure,
white, and absolutely harmless ashes
The ceremony which accompanies the
incineration of a body need not be
shorn of one item of religious rite, and
our church-yards may, without fear of
any evil effects, be used as the reposi-
tories of the ashes.
One who has witnessed this ceremony,
and by the sight has been converted
from an opponent to an earnest sup
porter of the system, writes: GAS we
turned from the incinerator, where we
had left the body Of our friend, it was
pleasant to think of him still resting in
it's rosy light, surrounded and enveloped
by what seemed to us as floods of purity.
1t was grateful, too, to feel that what
ever might remain after would be as he
would wish it, clean, and white, and,
like his own pure self, without offence
to thought or memory. After all that I
have seen, must say that my feelings
are completely changed, and that the
process of incineration is so much more
attractive than anything which had
ever conceived that I would as much
rather see my dearest friend cremated
than buried as can possibly be imag-
ined."
There have been objections made to
cremation on religious grounds. We
are told that it is unscriptural and that
it initiates against belief in the resur-
rection. 1t certainly is not forbidden in
either the Old or New Testament, and
some commentators of undoubted re-
pute, such as Pusey, Bauer, and others,
think that, in certain passages of the
sacred writings, they find evidence that,
in former times, the Jews practiced in
cineration as we'll as burial. The late
Bishop of Manchester, at the consecra-
ton Of new cemetery, made use of
these significant words: "Here is an
other hundred acres of land withdrawn
from the food producing area of the
country. I f-el convinced that, before
long, we shall have to face the problem,

CREMATION; IN IT'S BEARING ON
PUBLIC HEALTH.

so important as to the deleterious effects
of placing the bodies of our dead in al
most hermetically sealed coffins and then
depositing them in the earth, that, if
we were not in daily contact with the
blind conservatism of the human race,
we should be surprised that this method
was not long ago supplanted by some
other system which would effect quickly
and advantageously that which goes on
in the grave slowly and mischievously.
AS says Sir Henry Thompson: "No
dead body is ever buried within the
earth without polluting the soil, the
water, and the air around and above it,"
and to this statement Sir T. Spencer
Wells adds his testimony in paper
read before the British Medical Associa-
ton: "Decomposing human remains so
pollute earth, air, and water as to di-
minish the general health and average
duration of life."
Singular as it may appear, this very
pollution has the effect of making the
contaminated water more attractive as
a beverage. The sparkling brilliancy
which is found 50 pleasant and refresh
ing is chiefly due to the large amount of
nitrates contained within the water;
and these are the results of decompo-
sition. Upon this question the London
Lancet, which is perhaps the highest
medical authority that we have, speaks
with no uncertain sound when it says:
cit is well ascertained fact that the
surest carrier and the most deadly
fruitful indus Of zymotic contagion is
this very brilliant, enticing water,
charged with the nitrates which result
from decomposition.
A source of danger which is apt to be
overlooked is the possibility of spread
ing disease through the agency of liv-
ing organisms. Pasteur suggests that
in cemeteries it is very possible that
germs propagating specific diseases of
different kinds may be carried to the
surface Of the soil by earth worms; and
Prof. Kock, having made observations
in the same direction maintains that,
almost without regard to the depth at
which body may be inferred, the
spores may ascend to the surface and in
feet those who come within the reach of
their influence.
In his work 'On the Causes of Some
Epidemics," Mr.. Cooper cites, among
other cases, that of Eyam, in Derby
shire, England, where an immediate
outbreak of the plague was occasioned
by the digging-up of the burial places
of former victims; and we are further
told by Mr.. Eassie that, in l843, when a
parish church in Gloucestershire was
rebuilding, some of the superfuous soil

Fifteen Hundred HOmeseelters Start
ed Yesterday From st. Paul.
Great as was the rush on the opening
day of the home seekers excursions, yes
terday's business put it completely into
the shade. The Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific both sent out two
very heavily loaded sections and the
four trains hauled out fully fifty cars
The 500 sent out only one train, but it
was a big one
So great was the crush in the morning
when the trains went out that the depot
officials experienced considerable difficult
ty in handling the crowds. All the pas
sengers were cooped up in the depot I'M
til the rains were made up, and then
there was a scramble for places. Several
parties had special cars reserved, and
they Jared the best, but the main body
was compelled to hustle
1t is estimated that fully 1850 people
left on the five trains, and this record
easily eclipses the figures of the first
excursion last fall. Next week still
more are expected and adequate arrange
ments will be'made to handle the crowds.
The low rates apply all over the North
west, but the bulk of the land seekers
are headed for Montana and points furth-
er west. About so per cent OF the eX-
curSionists yesterday were bound for
Montana and Oregon, and only a scatter
ing for the Dakotas. This is to be ex-
planned by the fact that it is too early
in the season for the great wheat belt
Those desiring to settle in this district
will not commence to come for about
six weeks. when the winter is breaking
UP. By that time the rush to the far
West will be nearly over, and the North
west will benefit from the excursion
rates.
