TURN CORPSES INTO STONE
INSTEAD OF INTERRING; THEM
SEATTLE, April 23. To turn hu
man bodies into stone instead of bury
ing them is the proposition advanced bv
IT. Y. Beat ley, secretary and manager
ot the Pacific Coast Silica & Clav com
pany, which owns vast silica deposits
just across the Columbia river from
Lyle, Wash,
lie says that silica acts as a preserv
ative on both, wood and animal flesh.
and he displays specimens of petrified
wood. Tie says the company has deter
mined positively that the action of si:
lieu on the human body will turn it
into stone and preserve every feature
so perfectly that no sculptor could dup
licate it, and transforms it into the sem
blance of pure white marble.
Tie believes the process will some
time be recognized as the one scientific
way of disposing of tho remains of
those who have passed beyond.

BABE BLEEDS TO DEATH
WITHOUT LOSS OF BLOOD
XKW VOIIK. April "X One .if the
raret of disorders hiiowti caused the
death of Kannie I'ostelnok. II months
old. The baby bled to death, yet with
out any blood leaving his body. This
t range malady which was manifested
by dark spots all over the body, was
morbus litneulosis werlhot'fo. The child
became ill last Saturday ami the pe
ciiliar black spots began to develop on
his skin.
Several specialists were called in nnd
after a consultation the diagnosis was
made. The black spots are caused by
a b-al; of a vein which permits the es
cape of the blood, which lodges in vari
ous parts of the body. Tn forcing its
wav to the skin it gives the appear
ance of the dark blotches. Tt is be
lieved that the emptying of th" vessels
at hint caused the death of the baby,
as the heart had no more work to do.
