"and have always looked forward to

He went on praising Mr.. Jefferson,
who presently said:
II thank you very much. You are
very kind
Upon which the old gentleman went
on:
Il tell You everywhere in this town
people are glad to see old Josh Whit

There was moment of silence. and
then Mr.. Jefferson said:
Il think you are mistaken. play
Rip Van Wrinkle. You must mean
Mr.. Thompson. He plays Josh Whit

The ELUSIVE gentleman paused long
enough to collect his wits and then
said cheerfully:
"Oh, yes. So you are the old fellow
who played Rip Van Wrinkle? Well

by Mineral Particles.
In answer to the query. do biologists
or chemists know the process Of petri-
faction or the reason why human
body or plant in some cases takes the
course of petrifaction instead of de-
cayingY we would say:
The process is at first one of decay
slowly and replacement particle by
particle Of the organic material by in
organic or mineral Water holding sill
ceous minerals In saturated solution is
necessary. the flesh or plant disorga-
nizes. the carbon. oxygen, nitrogen,
hydrogen compounds disintegrate and
escape. and the minute portion is re-
placed by the mineral particle, the
shape or form Of the decaying body re-
naming intact
Now. the carbon In the bodies does
not change to siliceous minerals. 1t
disappears in it's combination with the
other elements. No element changes
into another: this would be mutation.
Replacement is the word used here.
