Gould, Fisk and Butterfield are real

The men who sell lager beer la
Massachusetts, have not been victims
Of misplaced confidence. They gave
the RAIDS. 40 credit before the election.
and they find now that they were en-
tirely right, for no sooner are their

NJ. Phillippeaux's experiments on
the regeneration of limbs have been
repeated by Mime Edwards, who has
described some new results In / con-
munleatiOn To the French Academy of
sciences. lis early experiments on
reptiles prove that it the limbs OF
newt be cut off, the scapula or ilium
being left behind, the limbs will be re.
produced, but if the scapula IS re-
moved, the lilnb l. never Reproduced.
Ills recent experiments with fishes
give similar results. If the fin-rays OF
a fish be cut of, they viii be repro
duced; b1t If the part corresponding
with the scapula be removed, no re-
production viii take place.
