ICE MUSEUM
LATE EDITION
GRUESOME PROPOSAL. PRESERVATION OF BODIES. FOR FUTURE AGES. (United Pre3a Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright!) (Australian ±*resa Association.) Received 11.50 (j.in. to-day. MXJfeOJIVV, Oct. 31. The Far Eastern Geographical Observatory has worked out a gruesome scheme of a refrigerator museum, in which the bodies of men, women and animals will be preserved in perpetuity undeoayed. It is proposed to use the eternal ice of Siberia in which mammoths have already been preserved for ten thousand years, so that the flesh is still fit for human rood. In the ice museum, the bodies of all human races will be frozen in for the benefit of students centuries hence, with the utensils and food they used in life, also their domestic and other animals. It is estimated that the cost will be ten million roubles. An appeal is being issued throughout the world for subscriptions to enable the scheme to be carried out.
