To give sly hit at the ridiculous pieces OF

it OF publishing every morning, Cornclssen
stated that an interesting experiment had Just

Of duck Canard," ia French. Twenty OF
these animals had been placed together one
Of them having been killed, and divided ID me
smallest possible pieces, feathers and all, ano
thrown to the other nineteen, was most elut-
tonousy gobbleti up, IN an exceedingly oFle1
space Of time. Another was taken from tne
nineteen, and being chopped up like It's prede-
cessor was served up to the eighteen, and at
once deyoure1 like The othez-ana so On to the
last which was ,lacel in She position OF nav

wonderfully short time All this, most plea
sanity related, obtained success which the
writer was far from anticipating, ana ran the
rounds Of all the journals Of Europe. 1t was
then forgotten tor about q score OF years, "nen
It came back from America with ampllicatlons
which it did not boast Of at the commence
