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
smbalmers 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 a 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
roffins of earthenware. When the
spaces between the cell walls and the
wooden cofins were opened those
present were surprised to see that
the bodies were in a 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, DIR. and
Mrs. Bullock Workman, recently ar
rived in Bangalore, India, from thrar
last eventful expedition, after speD d.
ing few days in Bombay, on tli.ir
journey south. 1t is their intention
to rest and recuperate in Bangalore
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-
compished through a 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 unexplored Kondus glacier has
been established.
