  EMBALM, 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_.
