Since the investigations Of Owen, many
eminent German physicians and men Of
science have given attention to the subject,
among whom we find Virchow, Herbst,
Kuchenmcister, Zenker, Bischoff, and, more
recently, Prof. Leukhardt, of the university
of Glesen, who undertook series Of scien-
ti6c experiments with this parasite, and to
his extended and systematic observations
We are indebted for the very accurate knowl-
edge we possess Of this animal. by intro
ducing it into the stomach Of the dog, cat,
rabbit, fowl, dove and crow, he was enabled
to observe all the phenomena Of the trichina
disease. Out of nine dogs thus treated
seven died, and the muscles were afterward
found aliue with free trichina. OF the other
animals subjected to similar experiments,
more than one-half died. The impression
pretty generally prevails that the fopi is not
subject to this disease, the trituration or
grinding in the gixzard being sufficient to
destroy the animal. The reverse Of this is
most probably true, as the grinding process
only aids the solvent power Of the gastric
fluid in dissolving the calcarcous shell.
The trichina is most usually introduced
into the stomach Of man in its capsule,
though it is possible for it to find its way
there in the free state. This calcareous
shell is dissolved by the acid juices Of the
stomach, and the parasites thus set free
rapidly acquire their growth and sexual
power, and population and reproduction arc
perfected within one week after their intro
duction into the alimentary canal. The
female brings forth from Gu to 100 live
trichine.

The trichina spiralis is microscopic
animal belonging to the family Of parasites,
and, being found within the body, is called
an entozoon.
II was first discovered in the year 1882,
but was not scientifically described until
1885, when Prof. Richard Owen, the eminent
BIOLOGIST, gave 10 the world its natural his
tory. II was named the trichina spiralis
from its resemblance to fine hair coilcd
upon itself, like watch spring. During that
year six persons were admitted to the Lon
don hospitals, who were the subjects Of
trichina poisoning. Since that time the
leading medical men have been on the look
out for this parasite, and several cases have
been observed aud fully described. This
parasite is only visible to the naked eye
when inclosed in its chalky capsule. These
appear as small white points, when q Sec
ton of muscle is examined. This appear
ancc is shown in the engraving below:

How a Man Freesss to Death.

NJ. Pouchet lately read an interesting pa
per on this subject before the French acsd-
envy of science the authors differences are
as follows:
!. That the first phenomenon produced by
cold is contraction Of the capillary vessels
to such an extent that globule Of blood
cannot enter; these vessels, therefore, re-
main completely empty.
2, The second phenomenon is an altera-
tion of tho blood globules which amounts to
their complete disorganisatiop.
8. Every animal completely frozen is ab-
solutely dead, and no power can re animate
it.
4. When only part is frozen, that part 10
destroyed by gangrene.
5. If the part frozen is not extensive, and
only few disorganized blood globules pass
into circulation, the animal may recover.
6. But if, on the contrary, the frozen part
is Of considerable extent, then the mass Of
altered globnles brought into tho sireuls-
ton when the part is thswed, rapidly kills
the animal.
I, For this reason . half frozen animal
may live long time II maintained in tho
condition, since the altered globules do not
get into the circulation but 1t expires rap
idly Is soon as the frozen part is thawed.
8. In all cases Of congelation, death is
due to the alteration Of the blood globulcs,
and not to any effect on the nervous sys-
tenn.
3. It results from these facts that the less
rapidly frozen part is thawed, the more
slowly tho altered globules 6nd their way
into the circulation, and the greater the
chances Of the recovery Of the animal.

The young swarm Immediately commence
their work Of destruction by piercing the
coats Of the stomach and intcstines. It is
not definitely known how long the parent
trichin,e live after producing the new
swarm, but it is certain that they never
leave the stomach and alimentary canal,
and probably die within fortnight The
instinct of the young trichina impels them
to seek the fibre Of the voluntary muscles,
which is known to the anatomist as the
striated muscular fibre. Below will be seen

l RemimisCemce Of the Near,

writer in tho CornhiH Magazine, who
has had opportunities Of conversation with
some Of Semmes' I'D crew, gives the follow
ing interesting reminiscense Of the fight
between the Alabama and kearsarge, from
which it appears that the rebels were left to
drown when the pirate sunk:

crate navy?" 81 was" said Aleck; "I

that replied Aieck, but he didn't care
about enlarking. ~ suppose it was the
ll-inch shells that did her businesss" "Oh,
no." said he, coming to kind of confess
sional, "we never had any chance; we had
no gunners to compare with the Kearsarge's.
Our gunners fired by routine, and when
they had the gun loaded, fred it off blind.
They never changed the elevation of their
guns all through the fight, and the Kear-
sarge was working up to us all the while,
taking advantage Of every time she was hid
by smoke to work little nearer, and then
her gunners took aim for every shot"
:" Then it isn't true that the Alabama tried
to board the Kearsarge :" "No, sir, she
did her best to get away from her from the
time the fight commenced. We knew well
that if We got in range Of her Dahlgren
howitzers she would sink us in ten min
utes."
But" asked, "don't you believe that

of Semmes, and when came up to the Deer
hounds boat they asked me If WAS Ssmmes
before they would take me in. said I
wasn't, and then they asked me what was
on the Alabama. Said !, "No matter what
was on the Alabama, Ishall be dead man
soon if you don't take me in. They asked
me again if was an officer or seaman,
and wouldn't take me in until told them
that was an officer "But," said 1, T" did
they actually refuse to pick up common sea-
men and leave them to drown 7" "They
did that" replied he wrathfulIy. and prob
ably not very correctly; "and as soon as
they had Semmes ON board they made tracks
as fast as they knew how, and left every
body else to drown or to be picked up BY
the Kearsarge."
