Orientals First Used
Cremation; Prevents
Spreading of Disease
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.


The ashes of the bodies OF
81 900 of the Japanese who were
struck their death blow by the
earthquake, which were reported to
have been cremated by the au-
thorities to avoid the spread of
contagious diseases, weighed APP
proximately 169,750 pounds after
cremation, allowing one and three
quarters of a pound to a body.
This would be a total of about
eighty.four and a third tons, which
is in strong contrast to the 11.640,-
900 pounds Of dead bodies which 1t
would have been necessary to re-
move had bodies not been cremated,
allowing a weight of 100 pounds per
body, male and female, or $500
tons Of dead bodies disposed Of in a
few operations Of wholesale crema.
ton.
According to press dispatches,
these bodies were not cremated on
account Of purposes of expediency,
but for reasons Of health.
Thousands Of years ago, the
Orient Is said to have given birth to
the process of cremation in the
disposition of dead bodies. and it
may be striking, at this time, that
the Orient now furnishes the
saddest spectacle, probably in all
history. of such a wholesale crema.
ton. the cause Of which and the re-
suits of which have shocked the en-
tire world.
