TOMB OF LoNGoEAD PRELATE
UNCOVERED.
Evidently Place Of sepuIcher Of
Bishop Of the Roman Catholic
Church, But His History
Has Been Lost.

Workmen at the minister at Basic
Switzerland, while Installing new
heating plant short time ago. dis
covered in an interior crypt a tomb
which has been made the subject o.
a curious investigation.
1t was evident that the body en-
closed in the stone walls was that Of
high functionary. 1t was clad in the
vestments Of a bishop of the Roman
Catholic church. The skeleton hant
still clasped the wooden crook sym
bolical of the shepherd.
Who was the prelate buried in this
box of stone? Inquiry showed that the
body was that either of Bishop Lutold
l.. of Arburg. who died in 1918, or Of
Bishop Heinrich H., OF Thun, who died
In 1888. 1t is known, at least, that
the opened tomb contained the re
mains Of man who died nearly zoo
years ago.
The proceedings following this dis
covery were somewhat remarkable. A
photograph Of the open tomb with the
body in 1t was taken with great diff.
ficulty, for 1t was almost impossible In
that narrow underground hole to make
a clear picture.
For the purpose Of thorough exam
ination the body was taken from its
bed of centuries to room in the mu-
scum Of the city. This was difficult
to do, for the slightest touch was like
" to crumble anything in the tomb to
dust. The examination required two
days, and then the remains were
buried again, it is hoped, never more
to be disturbed.
The body had been embalmed, but
the process only delayed and did not
arrest the process Of decay. The tomb
consisted simply Of slabs Of stone ce.
mented together, and the remains in
their splendid vestments were laid
upon bed Of fiat stones placed in DO
sition without cement.
The head had been pillowed on a
stone scooped out little. But the
head had not survived that interval
OF seven centuries. Nothing of It was
found excepting some handfuls Of dust
small bit Of the lower jaw and a few
teeth.
Some Of the fingers were covered
with skin that had turned to parch
ment, but they crumbled at touch. A
lew OF the cloths plainly retained their
texture and ornamental designs. but
the greatest care in handling them
was required or they would drop to
pieces. All were discolored 80 that
they looked like brown tobacco leaf
Chemical tests were made Of some oil
the cloth, but nothing Of Importance
was discovered.
The highly ornate shepherds stafI
had been made Of pieces of ash, lin
den and oak wood, mortised together
but now rotten to the center though
still perfect in shape.
The most striking results Of the In
vestigation was the photographs, %
In number, Of the cloth and embroid.
cry patterns, the tattered leather san
dals and the tomb. Some Of the EN-.
broidery patterns are Of remarkable
beauty and intricacy.
There was great dimculty in fixing
