last indefinitely, TIN some shock de-
stroys the crystal block which incases

which viii he deemed an honor like
that OF burial in Westminster or San
ia Croce. The mechanical process by
which all this is to be made possible,
and on which the government has is
sued patent, is quite simple. The
remains are first surrounded with a
coating of sodium silicate, or water
glass, which is allowed to dry. When
the water has been sufficient eyapo
rated. the subject is placed in a mold
which is to determine the size of the
glass block, and molten glass is pour
