If 4,000 corpses are crowded into one acre, tbe limit io tbe case of tbe most thickly populated graveyard, it will be seen that it re« quires 17| scree annually for tbe in terment of tbe dead of that city. In the case of London 23 acres are re quired annually. From these figures it ie apparent that all the available land a<dupd> these large cities, for tbis pn/pose, must soon be exhausted. It would appear that eventually crema tion or some other method for dispos ing of the dead, other than that now in vogue, will have to be adopted in those communities.
