LENIN’S CORPSE
EXPERTS H9PE TO PRESERVE IT FOR EVER MOSCOW, January 24. In connection with tho anniversary of Lenin’s death, Professors Vorobief and Zbarski have been awarded the Order of Lenin for “ exceptional services in the cause of preserving Lenin’s body.” The professors for ten years have devoted themselves entirely to keeping the body of the Bolshevik leader in a lifelike state in his tomb in tho Red square. When they began they hoped to preserve it for three months. Now they think that if constant precautions against damp are taken it can be preserved for ever.
Visiting hours are restricted in order to maintain a temperature of Gldcg Fahrenheit. Hidden flesh-coloured lights make Lenin resemble a very sick rather than a dead man.
