v.i. To cheat vegetation by locking up the gases upon which it feeds. By embalming their dead and thereby deranging the natural balance between animal and vegetable life the Egyptians made their once fertile and populous country barren and incapable of supporting more than a meagre crew. The modern metallic burial casket is a step in the same direction and many a dead man who ought now to be ornamenting his neighbor's lawn as a tree or enriching his table as a bunch of radishes is doomed to a long inutility. We shall get him after awhile if we are spared but in the meantime the violet and rose are languishing for a nibble at his glutoeus maximus.
