Remarkable Embalming Process

Lascelles.
A process of embalming body so
that It will be preserved In as good
condition as were the mummies Of the
ancient Egyptians has been discovered
by an undertaken of this city, who
more than three years ago prepared
the body Of George Lascelles, known
as Lord Walter Charles Beresford. for
shipment to England. In the belief
that he was OF the famous Beresford
family. a dispatch to the New York
Herald from Asheville. N. c.. says:

the cablegram was sent to the Beres.

be an oversight. but as the time passed
the people Of this city began TO be-

many persons who knew Lascelles In
his lifetime and who have commented
on the way his body has been pre-.

The body IL said to be q perfect
barometer. In warm and sunny
weather the skin becomes clear and
more lifelike in appearance, while In
cloudy and stormy weather Il assumes
a notified appearance. and those who
have watched It carefully declare that
at these times II has the look Of an
amy man.
The undertaken has been offered
$4,000 for the body by showmen. who
