Fog, rain and April temperature
played havoc with the ice on Satur-

cold weather of the early part Of the

uncut and some more zero weather is
wanted and at once. Ouinebaug lake,
where the ice is cut, is noted for its
faculty of freezing slowly. because of
the great number Of springs that feed
it. and there is always something OF a
chance that it will break up too
quickly.

Nature Sometimes Makes Mummies

Naeure oometlmeS mdkeS MummieS.
 Natural mummi6cation, the chang hg of the human body into dried condition without artificial treatment. Is an extremely rare phenomenon. In a case reported by Hon. S. Wolffsohn of British Honduras, middle aged cooly who disappeared between Jan uary and March, 1907, was found more than a year afterward, on May 6, 1908, in corrugated iron hut as a perfect. ly preserved mummy. The hut, in a somewhat isolated spot at Sibun, was raised on blocks four or five feet above he ground and had . door and three lhutters, one shutter being open, while Sne had fallen out. The body was Aothed in cotton underskirt. dark Jersey and duck trousers, two pieces of rope around the neck proving self strangulation. The desiccation seem cd to have been favored by combina- ton of conditions. the season having been extraordinarily dry and the small iron house excessively hot. though well ventilated. while the body was thin and attenuated as a result of mentaI disorder.
