In some cases the restrictions aro simple, n others more rigid, and this appliea both to casea in which death wan caused by or ordinary - dinary ordinary diseases, and those in which it was cansed by diseases of a contagious or In Infectious - fectious Infectious character. Under this want of uniformity tha transiortation of dead bodie must necessarily be accompanied by great danger and annoyance. Even rigid restrictions aro at best only partially ef effected, - fected, effected, as it is well known that Collins can not be mode absolutely air tight Your committee, however, have discovered a simple appliance by which this purpose can be secured as effectively a tho . preservation of an article In a tightly corked bottlo. This device consists of an antiseptic sack, made of rubber, pro provided - vided provided with ,an extension at one side and end, which, aftor tbe body is InetoseeV is rolled up and laced, making the sack a Wo lutely air tight.

TJpon motion of Mr. pj.ortou, toconded by Mr. ItoblnsuD, the a-nort was adopted. The baggage agents, who frequently have been compelled to abandon thoir cars, are the best judgo of the delicate subject, and they believe a solution has boon reached. The case is shaped as below: ' Tho suck Is drawn over thn body as a stocking would be over a foot, through the opening A. B., and Ilea in thoensoor sack X. Y. Z. W. There is a glass eoso for the face at "C." if desired. When tho body is in tho opening, "A. B." Is rolled up one turn nnd sealed, another turn and sealed, and a third turn and sealed and laced.
