Few Cremations in Germany.

The crematory movement is making comparatively slow progress in Germany. Cremation societies now exist in forty-five cities with a total membership of 13,177. England has now five crematories, Italy twenty-three, the United States twenty-five. Cremation has also been introduced into Denmark, Sweden, Argentine and Japan. France has three crematories—one each at Paris, Rouen and Rhelms. The Paris plant last year burned 5,825 bodies. The grand total of all cremations in all countries last year is estimated at 13,000. —Chicago Daily News.
