STARTLING BURIAL SCHEME

A startling new scheme for tbs dis
posal of the dead has been outlined
by F. w. Fitzpatrick, an American
consulting architect. He proposes
that each body shall be molded into a
block Of clay until all semblance of
form is lost. This, after baking in an
intense electrical heat, is to be en-
ployed as a structural unit in won
drous national monument of the dead.
This latter is to outrank in beauty
and size anything hitherto built by
man. Each individual slab in to have
craven deeply on it's end the persons

one and its basis might form good
solution of some difficulties and OBJ.

enthusiastic collector, has doll from

fore. We thank the people for their
