The German papers announce the
death of Louis Harmuth, a mechanic and
inventor, who had been wholly blind
since his tenth year. He had not been
able to reap the benefit of most of his in
ventions, owing to occasional slight de
fects, which a person iu full enjoyment
of his eyesight might easily have over
come. Most of his inventions Were of a
scientific character. The last patent was

last. He had been brought up in the
Royal Blind Asylum, in Berlin, where
he began by making fine braidwork. In
thc latter years of his life he devoted
hitnself principally to intricate machine
work.
According to the New York Tribune,
“the cremation movement continues to
gain ground steadily here and in Europe.
A dozen or more crematories have been
opened within tiio last year, and at least
double that number are in process of
construction. Cremation soeietbs now
exist in most of the States aud Terri
tories. In some European countries,
Italy for example, there is scarcely a city
without one. When once a society has
been formed, the erection of a crematory
becomes simply a question of time, two
or three years at the outside. To those
who recall the perfect storm of opposi
tion that the first proposal to revive this
ancient custom raised, this progress ap
pears remarkable.”
