1t is estimated that there are more than
33,333,0OO deaths year in this old world
of ours. The figures make one wonder to
just what extent nature uses again the par
ticles which go to make up the human
form. Estimating the average weight at
$50 pounds, nearly 5,oOO,oOO,OOO pounds
of matter is thus returned to earth annu-
ally. And this process will go on in in
creasing ratio just as long as the human
race continues to increase. That a portion
of the human form evaporates into gas and
is blown wherever the wind may 60 is un-
questionable. 1t follows that it is quite
