There is q colored gentleman by the
name of w. G. Innis, living in Jersey
City, whose business occupation is q
barber, but for the past few years he
has made the treatment of premature
bald heads special study, and after q
series of experiments has demonstrated
the fact that hair may be grated into
such head and made to grow. What
first led him to believe that it COULD be
done, was by watching long hairs
growing upon his arms, which he could
account for in no other way than that
they must have flown off from his
head and stuck into his arms
while he was cutting hair, as he
usually had his sleeves rolled up while
at work. He at once commenced the
experiment of grating hair into bald
heads, and has reduced it to q science.
He first takes hair from the head of an
other person, and examines it with a
microscope to ascertain if it is perfect
and healthy. This hair he inserts into
the cavities of the scalp, and secures it
to its place by bandages which are al
lowed to remain few days until the
hair takes root. have seen Mr.. Innis
perform this operation upon several
different persons with the best of sue
cess, and yet the Commonwealth of
New Jersey in its wisdom says that
this Mr.. Innis has not brains enough to
exercise the elective franchise.-Cor. Of
A3sti- ISEG0eTy Standard.

A very interesting report was given
by Prof. Volt, at the last session of the
Munich Academy, of the effect produc-
ed upon live pigeons by taking away
the two hemispheres of the brain. Inn
mediately after the operation the bird
falls into q condition similar to sleep,
puts its head under its wing, and sits
with closed eyes. After few weeks it
wakes out of this condition, stretches
out its head, and flies away of its own
accord. 1t is certain that it sees, hears,
and has sensations. It does not take
food of its own accord, and would re-
main hIs2gry in the midst of plenty.
After the operation, the space in which
the two hemispheres of the brain had
laid becomes filed with an emulation
of Serious fluid, which gradually attains
to q fibrous nature, and there seems to
be tendency to replace the old brain
by new one.
