A copy of the Huddersfield, Eng., Examiner, contained the subjoined de- scription of the method used by the Germans to abstract fat from their dead soldiers, The article was trans- lated from the French journal "La Belgique" by Prof. A. Ludwig, French Master at Technical College at Hud- dersfield, Yorkshire, Eng. He is a noted scholar and his standing is full assurance of the- authenticity of the translation, The Editor of the Exam- iner says in introducing the article: "The details of the subjoined article are gruesome to a painful degree. We give it, however, as an illustration of the pitch of scientific cannibalism to which '"Kultur" reduces its victims." 11 certainly is a gruesome story, but as revealing the character of the en- emy the free world Is fighting it makes signilicatt reading. The article follows. We have known for a long time that the Germans strip their dead behind the tiring line, roll up the corpses in bundles of three or four tightly fasten- ed together with iron wire, and then convey the dismal packages towards the rear for incineration. Until now the train loaded with soldiers killed on the French front never went be- yond the Liege district, They were sent to the blast furnaces in Cock- erill's works at Seraing, and towards the north of Brussels, where the Cor- poration had installed furnaces for burning refuse. These trains, consisting of wagons— a kind of Bine truck with doors open- ing upwards—left a fearful odor be- hind them, Great was the surprise when it was lately discovered that this tratlic took the circuitous Cant- brai-Tournai-Ghent route, doubtless in order to avoid the transports of troops, and then proceeded towards A alines, Louvain and thence to Gerol- stein. This attracted attention, as the Eifel tour is without a crematory plant or blast furnace. Moreover, it was noticed that every wagon was marked in chalk, 1), A. V, G. (which letters stand for "Deutsche Abfallver- wertung Gesellschaft," i.e. German So- ciety for the Utilization of Refuse); and as the traffic was rather heavy during last week, people wondered whether the new Viel-Satin-Saint With GAMBIAN \AIIONAL EXHIBITION Aug. 25 ..TORONTO..

Such a scien- tifically lugubrious Idea could germin- ate in none but ft German brain. The results led to tlfe formation of the 0, A,. V. 0„ a limited liability company with a capital of live million marks, whose first works were erected with - one kilometre of the rallroitd con- necting St. With and Gerolsteln, These works are especially intended for the Western front, and if the results jus- tify the expectations entertained of theta, a second establishment will soon be set tap On the Eastern front. • The 19uildings stand in wooded grounds, in the midst of a large forest of timber trees, which renders them invisible to the rare travellers using this tntfre rented line,Electric qie wires surround the quarters of the working staff—simple dwellings near the main railway line that look like a military camp of huts. Electric wires also en- circle the connecting line to within SOC metres of the dworks, where an im- mense double row of wire netting com- pletely isolates the establishment, which is of rectangular shape, about 210 metres long by 100 wide, The rail- road runs round it, and is util}'red on the east and north sides for bunging up fuel and corpses. ospses. The trucks are loaded in the north-western corner of the grounds. They arrive chuef I 1 of naked corpses, which are removed by work- men muffled up in what looks like oil- cloth and wearing masks with mica plates, These men, armed with long - hooked rods, push the human parcels towards an endless chain that drags the corpses ,along by means of enor- mous cramp irons fixed within half a yard of one another. The bodies enter by a kind of drum into a long, narrow chamber, where, during their passage, they are plunged I into a bath that both scours and dis- infects them. The endless chain sub- sequently sends theca into a drying room. here the bodies are subjected to a current of dry but air, from which —owing to evaporation—they emerge considerably reduced in weight. Fin- ally the chain introduces them into the autoclave or digester, a huge metallic receptacle into which the bodies are automatically thrown by an ingenious contrivance that unhooks them. Inside the autoclave, a knead- ing and shaking appartus stirs the mass at the right moment Three con- tinuous buildings—hath drying ratan, and vat—occupy about two-thirdsd s ot the grounds on the north side, while the out -buildings take up the other third and the southern part of the grounds. We may mention, by the way, that the disinfection of the trucks bring- ing the corpses takes place immedi- ately after the unloading by means of formol vaporiSations followed by superheated jets of steam. The real utilization and transforma- tion of the corpses into valuable by- products begins only after their ar- rival in the autoclave. After six or eight hours' boiling in steam, the flesh separated from the bones forms only a pulp somewhat similar la appear- ance to meat extracts, but almost black. When the mass has stood a while, the bones fall to the bottom, and the pu4) is sent by pumps into the installation specially designed for the extraction of batty matters by the benzine process. On the other hand, the bones and the residues from the extraction of oils are poured into an oven near the boilers and cremated. The extracted fats are ptanped in to another build- ing, where the stearic elements are separated from the oleic. The stea- rine is solid just as it is, but the oils emit such an offensive smell that it is necessary to subject them to a re- fining process. This operations is simply performed by mixing the oily mass with sodium carbonate, The neutralized oil is then sent to the deodorizing ronin, where it is distilled, whilst the by- products of the neutralization are utilized, it is believed, by the soap manufacturers, who cast no longer find the fatty acids necessary for their in- dustry. The neutralized and partly deodorized oil is sent into the tank reserved for 'finished products," whence it is despatched in barrels re- sembling petroleum casks. Up to now it has not been possible to ascertain precisely what use is made of these oils which has been partly refined. At the ordinary temperature they are liquid; yellowish brown, and nearly odorless. The oil and refinery works occupy the south-eastern darner of the grounds, and the despatch of the nil is effected by the railroad east of the building. It is interesting to record a few' technical details in connection with this enterprise. The heat produced by the boilers serves successfully to generate the motive power, to heat the cremator for burning bones and refuse, to supply the necessary steam for the autoclave, the oil works, the bath, and the drying apparatus. •The chimney of the works is of only mod- erate height, and tise rising of the smoke and the regulation of the draught is effected by electric ventila- tors.

Big Men Have no Chance to cigure in "Tanks" as Space is too Limited.— Getting into the Monster no Easy Job—Can Surmount Many Kinds of Obstacles. Under the shelter of a green ridge of shell -pocked farts land about fifteen miles behind the present front line trenches, one may come upon tate encampment of the tanks. The par- ade ground is like a distorted page from Gulliver's "Lilliputian inen at play with Brabdignagian toys." A dozen of the monsters are lying stretched out in the warm afternoon sun, , being combed, oiled and scoured by their industrious attendants, who are mere meddling pygmies by the side of the great steel steeds. Over at the edge of the parade where the level ground breaks up into ridges and hillocks, two or three of the big iron horses are being put through their pac05.

W. f. Hanna, Do- minion Controller of Food, have to some extent not been directed where they were most needed. Its conten- tion has been that only a limited area will be benefitted by the transit of sea water fish in refrigerator cars from the Atlantic coast to 'Toronto, and the Toronto Star has pointed out that more is required than has yet been done to make that kind of fish cheap and abundant even in Toronto, The Beacon has thought that if his ener- gies were directed to enabling fish dealers in Stratford to procure fresh water fish from Ontario points cheap it would be of more use here and it would appear from observations of aur contemporaries that there is room for good work being done in regard to cheapening fresh water fish at other points in Ontario, even those contigu- ous to where ihese fish are caught.
