for the purpose of preserving the corpse
from decomposition ; hut in latter years science
improved on tin: method, and tlie process
of embalming with chemicals was adopt
ed instead.
Tu the course of investigating the d- stroying

Craig, undertaker. Market street, perceiving
that oxygen was the clement that
caused decomposition, it struck him that if
this element c aid i>e removed from the
coffin, where the body was encased, that preservation
would then be certain. How to
I accomplish this at first rather puzzled Mr.
Craig. Hut not to lc bathed by trifle*, lie
i gave the subject grc.it c >;.-5dc r.ifi >n : and
i km wing that combustion was caused by the
! union of the carbon "f th? material and the
oxygen of the air. lie tried the experiment
of using up the oxygen in the casket by
the ai ! of a lighted candle, lie had an air

therein; lie screwed down the lid perfectly
air-tight. 'i'lm candle continued to burn
t<?r ciuht hours; it tli u. having consumed J
1 :i!l the oxygen in the interior. was extinguished.
This proved the theory; and sati

discovery; but. to carry nut hi* ideas effectively.

with the lighted cand!" a.- before, screwing i
down the lid. etc. In rhi- ease the candle 1

so well with his invention, he drew the j

From the I'oston Journal of ('Uemistrv.
Ki'inKMH' I>f.m;sions.?We have he-fore '
I alluded to the Science Lectures for the
People." three annual series of which have ,
I hcen delivered in Manchester. England. by i
- Huxley. Eoscjje, Iluggins, Loekyer, and
others, no less eminent. In the third series, i
l>r. Carpenter gave two lectures one on the (
! I'nconscious"action of the Hrain," the other
on ; Epidemic Delussions." In the lot- i
tor, after remarking that in certain mere- '
ly physical condition^ mere bodily states,
there is a tendency io the propagation, by I
a
what is commonly called imitation, of very
strange actions of the nervous system," lie
gives the following among other illustrations |
of the fact:
In nunneries, it is not at all uncommon,
from the secluded life, and the attention being
fixed upon one subject, one particular .
set of ideas and feelings?the want of a 1
healthy vent, so to speak, for the mental activity?that
some particular odd propensity 1
lias developed itself. For instance, in one i
nunnery abroad, many years ago, one of the v
youngest nuns began to mew like a cat; all
the others did the same. In another nun- t
nery. one began to bite, and the others were ;
all affected with the propensity to bite In j
one of these instances the mania was spreading
like wild-fire thromrh German?, extend
inpr fi-oiu out- nunnery to another; and they |
were <>f>ligc<l to resort to some severe men- 1
suros. as T have mentioned, in order to drive 1
it out. It was set down in Koine instances
t>' demoniacal possession, but the devil was
pretty easily exorcised by some pretty strong
threat on the part of the medical man. The <]
celebrated physician. lJocrhave. was called;
in a case of that hind in an orphan asylum
'in Holland, and I think his remedy was a
red-hot iron. He heated the poker in the 11
fire, and said that the next girl who fell in- J
to orie of those fits should he burnt in the
arm: this was <juitc sufficient tu check it ? L"
In Scotland, at one time, there was a great
tendency to breaking out into fits of this y
kind in the churches. This wns partieu- f<
larlv the c:i?e in Shetland; and a vary wise : fi
minister thero told them that the thing J n
could not he permitted, and that the next i
person who gave way in this manner?as he | j
was <|uitc sure they could control themselves .
it'tin v pleaded?should ! he taken out and ! ^
ducked in a pond near by. There was no { '
necessity at all for putting this threat into i '
execution. Here y>>u see. the stronger mo- j
ivc is substituted for the weaker "no. and ' n
the stronger motive is sufficient to induco j v
the persnii t ? put the restraint upon himself. *
I have said that if usually happens with the 1,
fi male sex. though it sometimes happens c
with \' ung men who lia%t more or loss of I
I: c -aine constitutional tendency. What is j
no< c.-sirv t" induce a stronger motive, which j
will call forth the power of sell" control which '
h been previously abandoned." I:
