SKILLED IN EMBALMING ART
Japanese Of Two Hundred Years Ago
Had Brought to Perfection the
Preservation of the Dead.

In the olden days in Japan the
embalmers were successful in secur-
ing an excellent state of preserva-
ton in the bodies on which they
operated. The Japan Chronicle re-
Gently drew attention to case of
this nature which came to light some
time ago in Kobe. The operations
which are being conducted by the
municipality included the removal of
some graves of the Aoyama family,
situated in the rear of the Anyoji
temple. Two graves were opened,
belonging to old daimyos who were
buried 200 years ago. The graves
consisted of stone cells with large
collins Of earthenware. When the
spaces between the cell walls and the
wooden collins were opened those
present were surprised to see that
the bodies were in state of preser-
vation and had all the appearance of
wax figures. The old Amagasaki
lords lay in almost life-like fresh
ness, dressed in the picturesque cos
tune of an earlier day. Several valu-
able personal belongings were found
in the graves, including two long
swords, women's hair ornaments,
boxes of pocket inkstones, gold fam
lily seals, etc.

EXPLORERS DO. GOOD WORK
Husband and Wife Have Mapped Our
Hitherto Unknown Regions In
Northern India.

The Himalayan explorers, DR.. and
Mrs. Bullock Workman, recently ar
rived in Bangalore, India, from thur
last eventful expedition, after spep d.
ing few days in Bombay, on thyir
journey south. It is their intention
to rest and recuperate in Eangalore
for some weeks. They covered much
new ground in their last expedition
$50 square miles and all the
mountains and glaciers have been
mapped. Many new ascents were
made, ranging from an altitude of
$4,000 feet to $1,000 feet, to say
nothing of camping for five weeks at
an elevation of $4,000 feet. By far
the longest and largest glacier in
Asia, the Siachen, has been accu-
rately located, which is the party's
most notable achievement. This took
place after the explorers had discov-
cred two new watersheds between the
Indus and the Chinese Turkestan re-
gion, and the return journey was ac-
complished through hitherto un-
known pass. The main object of
the expedition was to complete the
exploration of the Siachen glacier,
which is fifty miles in length, in the
Karakoram mountains. Not only
was this achieved, but connection
between the Siachen glacier and the
still UNEMPLOYED Kondus glacier has
been established.

THE Fourth of July meeting
called for last week went by default
owing to the non-appearance of
enough interested persons to make
a celebration a go. Those who
would be particularly benefited by
having a celebration have become
so accustomed to having their bus
mess transacted for them that they
overlooked the opportunity. Those
of celebrating nature will have the
opportunity to visit the neighbor-
ing towns on that day and spend
their surplus cash away from home
to have a mail order celebration
as it were.

In the meantime Martinetti got
wind of the move and went after
the horse. The officer claims
Martinetti threw stones and violent
language at him which the plaintiff
denied. The evidence was little
too strong and the court imposed a
light fine just to impress on the
public that officers are not to be
interfered with in the discharge of
their duties.

IT is with feelings of extreme
regret that we announce the death
in St. Paul last Friday of Capt. &.
c. Whitney, editor of the Marshall
News Messenger for the past "a
years. Capt. Whitney has been
ailing with acute stomach troubles
for the past six months. He died
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
F. A. Hills. He was Civil war
veteran, serving in the Sixth Mas
sachusetts. He was born in Mas
sachusetts March 20, 1916. He
came to Minnesota in 1879 and
purchased the News Messenger at
Marshall, which he successfully
published up to the date of his
death. He was state printer for
six years, member of the Soldiers
Home board, for nearly twenty
years member of the executive
committee of the Minnesota Edi-
torial association and prominent
Mason and Elk. As an editorial
and newspaper writer he was one
of the most forceful and convincing
in the state; as a friend, one of the
best and truest, and most loving
husband and father. Charlie
Whitney probably had the most
extended acquaintance among the
newspaper boys of any editor in
Minnesota, and to his efforts much
of the success of the Minnesota
Editorial association IS due, as he
has always been hard working,
faithful and obliging member of
that committee. He is survived by
a widow, four sons and a daughter.

PENSION LAW
For Mothers Put Into Effect in
This County

Mrs. Ida Paul of Duluth is the
first to receive aid from St. Louis
county under what has become
known as the mothers pension"
law passed by the last legislature.
Her application was made to the
juvenile court and Judge Ensign
after an investigation of the facts,
ordered that she be paid SIS a
month from the county, under
authority given by the state law.
This is the first application and the
only woman of the county now OBJ
tanning the pension, although
several applications have been
made.
Although the law permitting
counties of the state to pay to
mothers sum not exceeding $40 a
month for each dependent child
under IS years of age is correctly
known as the county aid bill, the
term mothers pension" has been
so often used, that an erroneous
understanding has resulted among
a number of applicants who believe
the mere fact that they are mothers,
entities them to the pension.
Before mother is entitled to the
aid extended under the law, it must
be shown to the complete satisfac-
ton of the juvenile court that the
woman's husband is dead and that
she has children for whom she is
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-06-20

unable to provide the necessaries of
life. Furthermore she must have
been a resident of the state for at
least two years and of the county
where the application is made, at
least one year. Women having
dependent children whose father is
being detained at any state institu-
ton, whether for crime or insanity,
are likewise entitled to the benefits
of the law, providing always that
there is dependent child or child
rem for whom she is unable to
Drovide.
