The Mutual Autopsy Society was organized in 1876, when several professors and savants cf the Anthropological Society decided to offer themselves as examples :n making a sacrifice to science. Vhy, they asked, ane another, shou'J we rentier immediately to earth tee deserted mortal tenement, the study af which offers so vast and In teres tng possibilities for the advancement id science?" Another doctrine of this society Is that it would be Infi.iitcly better for families, when an adalt member died, if he should ho mad the subject of sareful scientific study. In this way tne children or relath ea of the might he warnof of and taught how to guard against hereditary maladies which might menace them. t of view It waB this double scientific and humanitarian that brought about the organ!

The constitution of the society is carefully drawn, snd each member 1b oblige! to sign the following pledge: "I, the undersigned, deshe and wlrh that after my eatn an aut ipsy of body he held under the auspices of tte Soclete dAutapsto, duly authorized, and also under those as w!l of th Society for the Advanccmeit of Anthropological Science, both legally rec rognlzed to be of public ulijty.

Faidherbe died suddenly far away from Paris, anl Vlollet to Due met with an accidental death In a foreign country. The latter, il will be remembered, was a celebrated French architect, archaeologist and writer on art. Not long ago one of the societal rea resolved to commit suicide, and wrote to the president of the association to that effect But at the last moment a terrible doubt passed through his mind as he asked himself if his wife would likely consent to his autopsy. He therefore drew up his last will and testament which stipulated that his fortune should go to the city of Paris in case bla wife should strive to prevent tbe disposition of his body that ho wished. Then he killed himself. After his death the Mutual Autopsy Society claimed hla remains and had possession of them for a short time. Then 'the wife, by legal proceedings, secured possession of what waa left of her husbands body and bad It decently Interred In one of the provinces. The city of Paris thereupon laid claim to the estate, and the Soclete dAutopaie sued for the recovery of the suicides brain. Both cases are still in the Paris courts. One member of the society is quoted as saying that the thought that his brain would be taken out of its box by such eminent scientists as his had robbed death of its bitterness. and that he now regarded his ultimate end with a sort uf melancholy pleasure.
