Much excitement was caused _in West Ealing by the rumor that a tin trunk contaming charred human remains had been found at a house in Uxbridge road Workmen examining a cupboard found a box 13 inches by 12 inches by 9 inches. It was securely sealed up, and they con- veyed it to the police station, where it was opened by the divisional surgeon, Dr. Bennet, who pronounced 'the con- tents to be cremated remains of human bones. The police at once instituted in- quiries and found that the box belonged to.a former tenant of the house, who, in removing, had overlooked it. Tt con- tained the ashes of his first wife, who had been cremated. He was able to swt isfy the police by producing a certificate of death and cremation. The two 'ground floor-rooms of the house had been occu pied as offices by this man to. whose second wife the presence in the home of such a gruesome relic as the cremated remains of her predecessor evidently proved distasteful. Consequently he took the casket to his office, where it remain 50 a Pardongile, A prominent novelist spoke recently at a Boston club about the wonders of modern invention.
