SECRET OF EMBALM1NG LINCOLN

It was the late Dr. Thomas Holmes of Brooklyn, who einbalmed the body of President Lincoln, which was found to be in most excellent state of pres ervation when viewed last week. His process was d radical departure from the ordinary mode of embalrning by means of fluids. Doctor Holmes pla ce ] the body in a glass case and subjected it to pressure of peculiar gas, the ac- ton of which hardened the flesh to a degree approaching the toughness of leather. That is all that is known Of the process today.
 Doctor Holmes died two years ago a poor man. Doubtless his invention could have made Q fortune for q man possessing business ability, but that quality pr. Holmes lacked. His dis covery was appreciated by few and brought little money to him.
 During the civil war the success of his work on the bodies of prominent soldiers brought Dr. Holmes to the mo- tice of President Lincoln. who became interested in his work and ordered that he should be employed at his death.
 President Lincoln personally paid the expense of fitting out a Eunboat to carry the doctor and his assistants to the army at Fair Oaks, where he em balmed many of the prominent officers slain in battle.-Washington telegram to the Chicago Record-He
