Mummify Dead by Electricity
The long-sought art of preserving the
human form after death in nearly lifelike
aspect, has apparently been achieved in c
scientific method developed by an expert
embalmer who has devoted years of study
to the work. The method not only prom
ises to afford a means of perpetuating the
Illustrious dead moro successfully than
the Egyptian mummies, but offers possi
bilities for the disposition of the dead in
sanitary ways that introduce none of the
objections of ordinary burial methods.
Electricity plays the leading part in the
apparatus, which has the outward appear
ance of a sarcophagus and consists of a
chamber which receives a rolling coppci
table upon which the liody is placed. Thil
table forms one terminal for the contact
with the body and the other terminal con
lusta of a numlier of contacts made on
the upper surface of the laxly. When the
circuit is closed an eleotrio current passes
through the body at many different points,
sterilizing and dehydrating it beyond the
point where the organisms that cause
decomposition can exist. The success of
the method is attested by experiments
performed upon dogs and eats, and by a
teat upon.the bodv of a man.

Dutch Float Land for Home Site*
Perhaps the quaintest spot in quaint
old Holland is the floating village of
Giethoorn, in tho province of Overyssel,
one of tho low regions which have been
water-logged for centuries treatise of the
periodical inundations of the sea. Taking
advantage of the condition of the soil,
the hardy Dutchmen of Giethoorn have
learned how to cut away sections of turf,
und then float them through the canals to
any desired spot. Poles, about 12 feet in
length, are used to shove off the floating
home sites, which ore cut away beyond
the village limits and then guided to town.
