brought to state of perfection the art OF producing
topor in the wholesysem by the application of cold Of
degrees ofinensity proceeding from lesser to great

torpid, without permanent injury to any organ or tissue

thousand years, and again, after sleep of ages be
awakened 10 existence fresh and blooming as they
were when they first sunk into this frigor6c slumber
The attention of the learned Professor first led TO
the subject by finding toad enclosed in solid frag
ment of calcereous rock ten feet in diameter which
when taken out, showed unequvocal signs Of he-bu
il is supposed that Tie concussion caused by basnghe
rock occasoned its death in few hours after. The o.
pinon of Baron Grnithzen who is at present Genosis

that situation about for at least seven thousand years
and his calculations were drawn from the different lay
ers or strata by which il was surrounded From this
hint the Professor proceeded to make experiments and
after painful and aborious course OF experiments 1or

dering her child. With the exception ofsgh paleness
she appears as if asleep, although she has been in

reruscitate her in five more years, and convince the
world of the soundness ofhs wonderful discovery The
