The auneiiuccment of the approaching
completion or (he crematory at Mount Olivet
cemetery might Impert nothing beyond the
conversion or a Tew hundred dollars into
bricks and mortar. Rut the fuel that forty
bodies are awaiting "lire burial" cannot be
misunderstood. It certainly indicates an tin-
suspected growth of opinion ou the subject.
It Is even mere remarkable, upon a wider
Iov, te find that his movemonl began about
the same time In several nations, and in
each or tliem shows a natural aud steady
growth. Thore may be anether explanation
of this than the world-wide unity of lutein lutein
TJriiee and thought resulting fiein the

straightway the continents and peeple throb

Rut tliore appears te be no ether relation
than that of tluiu between the several revivals
or cremation. And America led the way.
THU 1'lltsr UIWMATIOK,
The cremation el Raren de Palm, under
thcosephle auspices In December, 1870, ap
jicured te be a nuiely sjHiradle rreak el a net
loe sound mind. Rut it attracted attention
and wlde comment. Plfteen months later
Mrs. Pllmau'B body was burned, and In Oc
tober, 1S7P, the body of Dr. Le Meyius who
built the first furnace in the United State",
was thus disposed of lie, tee, was a fanatic
en various topics. He was even said te be
opposed te bathing, holding nn occasional
scratching or the skin vv ith a tahle knife for it
strlgil te boa better substitute. These, were
net Imposing leaders. Rut Germany fol
lowed. The Getha cremateiy was opened in
1878, and two hundred bodies have been
burned thore. In 1SS1 aud 1W-J the number
was only at, In 1S&! it was 17 and iu I8SI it
61. In Italy half a dozen crematories have
been built, and the cremations new number
three hundred andsixty-twe. In Milan there
nre six thousand mcinbers of a slngle society.
In Prance thotepfc has been much discussed,
hut the practlce is still illegal, nltlieunh Gam
bctta favored n permissive law. The com cem com
mlttee of tlie Belgian chamber has favorably
reported upon a petition ler a law
making actuation optional. Ne action
has been taken iu Austria, It Is be
lieved, ullheugh opinion was officially
gathered throughout the empire be early as
1878. in Puuland Itdy llanhain and the
wlle or Captain llanhain were cremated in
1S82, but they bet no fashion, although they
brought the subject prominently forward.
A (IIINHItAb (IliOVVTIt Of Till; CUSTOM.
The growth of cremation Iu the 1'nltcil
Stales has been general, The New Yerk
cremation society was orgauled In this city
in 18SI, as ulse was tlie I'nited States crema
tion company, Kllmlted.) Ry this company
was laid tlie cornerstono or the Mount Olivet
crematory, in November lbSl. Thatwesa
geed year for Iho crcmatieulsts. In llullale
a company was organized with a capital of
f 10,000; ut Resteu tlie New Pngland
cremation society was organized ; at Lan
caster, Ph., whs built tlie second ere ere
inatery and the first for general use,
and the University of Pennsylvania built
the third. At Pittsburg a lurnate employing
natuial gas Is exacted te be completed seen.
In this year the original furnace at Washing
ton, Penn., was limited in its use. The
demand ler Its elllces had outgrown Its ca
pacity, and the trustees announced that only
rcsidentx that is, former residents In the
county or Dr. Le Meyne's home would be ac
commodated in the furnace built by him. It
remains te add that iu New Orleans the
grand Jury has advUed cremation In case of
public charity upon the ground that burial in
the neighboring lowlands is at least n possl pessl possl
hle danger te the public health.
A VICIOIIV Of HEASON.
Rut If it be possllile te suggest only a
probable explanation ler the occurrence no
nearly tegether of events te similar and j-ct
se widely scattered upon the face of the earth,
at least it Is posslhle te understand the victory
el" reason ever sentiment and preludice. The
religious argument against the "pagan"
custom can scarcely ovcrwelgh tlie fact that
croiiiatieu is numerically strongest in Rome,
the seat or the werld'H most conservative
church. It Is net meant that the church luuj
taken any efilcial action, but It appears that she
finds no greater obstacle le the resurrection
et the body In burning than iu burial. The
plea that cremation is illegal was Hottled for
common law countries by the opinion or Sir
J. Stephen te the contrary. I'vcry argument
rrem the fitness or things at least as icgards
the neighborhood of cities had prev Ieusly fa
vored the new, or rather the rovlved, cus
tom. Te the weight of reason new began te
be added names of uutheritv. Prer. S. D.
Gress, or Philadelphia, following his wlre In
giving his body te be burned, and Jeseph
Leldy, president el the Pennsylvania acado acade
my et natural sciences, defended the act In
the comment which followed. Prof. Adlcr
has elten spoken in favor of cremation Iu this
city and isenn of tlie promoters of the cre
matory new building. Sir Lyen Playfair
aud Sir Jehn Lubbeck are cromatieulsts.
That Garibaldi was net cremated was due
solely te negloctef his soleuin request. And
the list could certainly be extended.
These facts, taken tegether, are of much
meaning. Rut iu spite el them it may be
doubted whether the idea Is legain ever
the majority. Peeple ure either Indiffer
ent about the grave and the furnace If
they be strong-minded, or they are in
trenched in unconqucrable prejudice ir
they be of weaker meld. It may be that the
sanitarians mid the publicists will conquer
their way. Thelr ditllculty will be less hi
tlieir arguments than iu tlie uature or
their cae. Se long as the disposition or the
dead is left te the living, and se long us the
living dlslike te think alMiut death, about se
long whatever U may be expected te con
tinue. iXQVi.tr ex
