CORPSE TAKES WEIGHT.
strange Case which I. Exciting Comment
In New York.

For some time there has been SpcCu
lation rs to whether the body Of Elmer
:. Bunday. who was n United States
Circuit Court Judge. was pctriiicd.
Though at the time of his death. five
years ago. says the New York Tribune,
tie Judge weighed only Il little more
than 100 pounds. II took six or seven
men to handle the coffin recently at
the MOrnviau Cemetery. where the
body is now In the receiving vault.
awaiting rcburial. The present weight
Is said to he more than 800 pounds.
The theory of pe%trifaction was reject
ed by experts who visited the vault
and examined the body not long ago,
hut there is no doubt that the body
has undergone marked and curious
changes. and the examination which
was made showed also that the color
had changed TO almost the shade Of
bronze.
"Thc body could hardly lave become
pctrificd in 50 short u time rs five
years" said Frank II, Chase, an au.
thority on embalming, las petriflcation
is always accompanied by great age.
But IN increase in weight might easily
occur If the body were in Il grave,
where waters charged with mineral
substances pcrcolatcd. can see no
way in which the increase of weight
could take place If the colin were air.
tight.
But the probability is that IL was
not. 1t is extremely difficult to make
n metal coffin alright. and unless water
could percolatc to the body there is no
means by which it could gain weight.
when II body is cmbalmcd, too,
there Is a gradual toughening of the
tissues, accompanied by Il disappear
ancc of the watcry substances, so that
in time weight Is lost instead of gained.
a body weighing 12J to 40 pounds ut
death would In II year or so weigh no
more than twenty five pounds. You
can lift II mummy easily with n
hand. but to account for an increase in
weight II is necessary to suppose that
mineral substances have been added.
In Il perfectly dry grave no increase in
weight could take place. This Is sim
ply due to an accfetion of mineral mat
ter. and such eases are by no means
Unprecedented ~.
