last scene viewed by dying man remains fixed
on the retina of the eye, publishes this interest
ing statement:
At first we suggested the saturation of the
eve in weak solution of atrOphine, which evil
} IDENTIFY produced an enlarged state of the pupil.
On observing this, we touched the end OF the
optic nerve with the extract, when the eye in
stantly became protuberant we now applied
q powerful lens, and discovered in the pupil the
rude, worn-away figure of man, with light
coat beside whom was a round stone, standing
or suspended in the air, with small handle
stuck as it were in the earth. The remainder
was debris, evidently lost from the destruction
of the optic, and its separation from the mother
brain. Had we had the operation when the eye
was entire in its socket, with all its powerful
connection with the brain, there is not the least
doubt but that we should have detected the last
idea and impression made on the mind and eye
of the unfortunate man. The thing would evil
IDENTIFY be entire; and perhaps we should have
had the contour, or better still, the exact figure
of the murderer The last impression before
? death is always more terrible on the brain from
fear than any other cause; ana llgures Impress
ed on the pupil more distinct, which we attrl-

free communication with the brain.-Boston

age of seventeen on salary of $50 a year,
with an additional hundred if he is punctual ev-
cry morning His salary is increased $50
