TO PRESERVE DEAD

Bodies.

Chicago, April 24.-Metalized bodie:
may soon replace urns containing ash
es of the dead and elaborate mauso
aeums. Those who have hitherto ten
derby preserved the burnt ashes OF
their beloved departed ones will be
enabled to substitute the entire re-
mains in gold and bronze statues
Others, who have found dogs and cats
decease of their pets. find consolation

ter
All these things are claimed as re-
suits of an invention which has just
been perfected by Rhenhard d. Fuchs,
Ben Brostowicz and John Hauth, who
until recently have been employed in
4 musical publication house.
Successful Test Made.
The experiment was first triedsthree
years ago by Wolfram Fuchs, who in.
troduced the X-ray in medical prac-
tice in Chicago He died about year
ago, and his brother, r. d. Fuchs, as
sisted by the two others, continued
the experiment. until now they have
built Il factory in North Chicago
where they will undrake to carry OUT
the work started by the N-ray scien'
fist Several bodies of the dogs and
cats are said to have been successfully
tested already with the new process.
Mr. Fuchs states that within two
weeks he Will metallic human body.
which will be placed in exhibition in
a downtown store window. During
the demonstration several Of the lead
ing scientists OF this city will be pres.
ent, as we'll as prominent surgeons.
This body Will be nodded by the secret
process into a statue which in appear
ance will be of solid gold The cost Of
the conversion of the human corpse
will be about $1,000
While metalizing OF flowers has been
achieved abroad by experiments as far
back as 1860, the process has never
been brought to a practical working
basis so as to apply it to animals.
Secret Carefully Guarded.
The secret process has been mos;
carefully guarded. No letters patent
will be requested of the authorities at
Washington. The inventor says that
in order to obtain patents the appli-
cant must describe in his specitica-
tions minutely what his invention is.
Should he do this, he feels that the
process would no longer be a secret,
and others would soon try either 10
infringe or pretend to so improve
upon it that it would take years of
litigation to prove its original source.
The human body, which will soon be
experimental with, will first undergo
a process OF embalming before being
metalzed. The blood will be drained
from the veins and arteries. The
brain and al internal organs will be
removed, The bony skeleton and
feshy shell remaining will then be
subjected to the metalization process.
The inventor contends that if the dis
covery is developed to its fullest pos
sibility it will become the worlds
greatest ally to history and art.
