CREMATION
AN OLD DEAL
Bodies Burned Before
Christian Era.


Cremation is one of the most an
cient methods Of disposing Of the dead.
Before the beginning Of the Christian
era, cremation prevailed among all
civilized nations, except the Jews, Chi
nese and Egyptians. Later, however,
this form gave way to earth burial.
Cremation has had a revival during
the last few years, and from one Gre
matory In existence In 1880, there
were over so in 1890, and since then
others have been added to the list
each year. Cremation is common in
Japan, where AZ per cent. of the dead
are incinerated. The & st crematory
In the United States was built at
Washington, Pa, in 1876, by DR.. LIE
Moyne, and the first incineration there
was that Of the body of Baron de
Palm, which took place in December
of the same year. This was the only
crematory in the United States until

flurried on learning that Mrs. Brown
was at the othef end Of the wire.
Have you seen John to-day?" she
asked.
81 did, Mrs. Brown. He was called
away on important business this
morning, but Just a little while ago I
got message from him that he would
start back on the next train. He'll
be in town in about an hour"
Mr.. Mccoy was still at work in his
Office at Ave o'clock when again he
was called to the telephone. Again
1t was Mrs. Brown
Has John got back yet, Mr.. Nc

matters to attend to, and just started

He'll be home in three-quarters Of an

ing and business men. This part treats Of
the origin, neurological and chemical
composition, texture, structure, physical
properties, and classification of granite
and "black grantees. Under the heading
'Structure", the nature and origin Of
sheets, rift, grain, flow structure, joints,
headings and faults are considered. bikes,
veins, "knots," geodes, inclusions and
contacts are described and discussed, as
we'll as the discoloration and decomposi-
tion Of granite.
In the economic part the various tests Of
granite, the adaptation of the stone to
different uses, and the methods of gran
lite quarrying are first considered. An
economic classification of Maine GRANTEES
based upon visual characteristics is next
given, and then follow the descriptions of
the quarries and their products, the mat
ter here being arranged by counties in
alpha betical order.
These descriptions follow uniform
method, taking up in succession a. the
name and location of quarry, name and
address of operator and superintendent;
(2) the granite, including its description
in the rough and under the microscope,
together with the results of any tests and
analyses; (3) the quarry, its dimensions,
drainage and water supply; (4) the strip
ping and rock structure; (5) the plant, in

(6) the means Of transportation; (7 labor,

and location OF buildings or monuments
containing the stone.
At the end of the report is bibliog-
raphy on the economic geology OF granite
and glossary Of such scientific terms as
were unavoidably use and also of current
quarry terms. The report includes four
teen plates illustrating various features OF
scientific or economic interest in the quar-
ries or their product, and forty one text
figures. Most of these text figures are
diagrams showing the course Of joints,
headings and dikes at the quarries, but
others illustrate 'srift," sheet structure,

the location of individual quarries at the
industrial centers. The situation of these
centers is indicated by symbols on the
