The State Regis- for of this city some time ago , in ro- spmtso to the question , "Whore are the tomaina of Mr. Lincoln deposited at presout , and are they turning to stonol" published the following answer ever the signature of J C.

Everything / oniainod -as they leftit until the afternoon of the second day , when every screw in the wooden colims was examined , and the creases in them { vero found , ono and all , to be filled with rust , proving beyond a doubt that neither the wood nor load coffins hind been opened. All were then pushed back into the sarcophagus and it was cemented perfectly tight as it had been before their visit. The remains have navor'beon removed from that to the present time and all is absolutely safe. safe.As to indications of petrification the idea of any substance in an airtight lead enclosure turning to stone , no matter - ter where it may bo placed , is too absur d for a moments serious thought. Very respectfully yours. J. C Powim , Custodian.

Tim "SveIl4lcatl , ' " A disease called "swoll.head" has boom : discovered among cattle at time Chicago stock yards and is said to afflict both : men and animals.

Tha. doctors call the plant actinpmSCoa' limo disease aotinomycosis , Dr , ' Lt1Oold. in a lengthy report of his fnrestigatimn of the Chicago caso5 say's that tlmirty cases in human beings Nava already boom reported by Germrat observora , and adds : In inn time diseasa presents a soma- 'mvlsnt ' different aspect than that .observed m cattle.
