HUMAN STATUES.
&. —. YVKIKD APPLICATION BY TWO BRAZILIAN DOUTOItS. . _ Berlin, May 27. the Franklurter Zeitung, quoting from the Commeicio do Sao Paulo, Brazil, reports that two doctors of Sao l'aulo have applied to patent a discovery to preserve the body after death, so that it may do duty as a statue by simply placing it on a pedestal. The inventors claim that their process provides a surface equal to marble in appearance, and one which is even better in resisting lire and atmospheric inIhiences. They add that such statues would be more life-like than the work of any sculptor. The patent authorities received with the documents a long wooden box, which contained the body of a negro boy preserved by the inventors' method's and kept for nearly six years.
