these apartments are newly furnished and

thickly decorated with fine engravings, and
upon every available place, bronze stat.

literally distributed In all the principle
rooms mirrors reach from floor to ceiling

4 NEW METHOD OF DISSECTION.

The great desideratum in anatomy is, to
abtain an exact idea Of the real position of
the internal organs. This, however. is far
from being the case with dissections by the
common method since every section made
on the body. rendered fabby and unrelas.
tic by death produces corresponding de-
formation; the soft parts contract, and moth
ing but an approximative idea can be formed
Of the relative position of the exposed parts
before the operation. In order to obviate
this inconvenience, DR.. Pirogoff, an eminent
Russian surgeon, has had the ingenious
idea Of subjecting the body before the dis
section, to cold Of eight degrees centgrade
(l6 Fahr,) for space of three days. By
this means the body acquires hardness
like that Of wood. its organs retaining at
the came time their relative sizes, since the
moisture they contain increases by congo.
lation and the counteracts then contractions
which the solids would otherwise undergo
The body in this case is subjected to the
circular saw. which will cut off slices of the
thickness Of franc piece with tho great.
est nicely, either longitudinally, transver
sely, or along the axis of the member By
this means DR.. Pirogof has been able t.
publish an anatomical atlas of every part
Of the human body seen under three differ
ent aspects.
In order to copy out a section obtained
in the manner described, DR.. Pirogof pas
ses lightly over the frozen slice with {
sponge the surface is thus thawed for ar
instant, but a transparent film of ice i:
Immediately afterward formed over it. A
pane of glass with lines drawn upon il
crossing upon it at right angles. 80 as K
form so many squares. is then laid on the
icy film, and the surface copied out upor
paper also divided into squares like tht
glass. By this means the greatest precis
ion is attained The principle of refriger
alton has been carried still further BY th.
ingenious inventor, who by exposing body
