When speech became intelligible it
was found that the soldier; as he seemed,
had forgotten entirely his military train
ing and discipline; on the other hand,
he told, at O formal examination, in tho
presence OF number of witnesses, the
prices Of oil the wines and beers, such
ns the snloon.keeper had been in the
habit of buying and selling, manifesting
the unimpaired cerebral activity Of the
latter. His memory recalled the saloon
keeper1' relatives, friends and customers,
whom he called by name. The soldier
had been ugly, taciturn, revengeful; he
now had the saloon keepers frankness
and even garrulity, in spite Of his STAN.
mering utterance. He was totally blind.
Although the nerves of smell and sight
had been approximated in the operation,
they failed to unite. It was both sad
and strange to see and hear the soldier
cropping in his inhrmity of blindness,
and giving proof Of oil the patient en-
durance and goodness of heart which
had made the saloon keeper deservedly
esteemed and prosperous. These are
the main facts in tho case, as far as de.
tailed in the ArcAioe, but the subject of
experiment presents 30 many important
problems of the relation between blood
and brain, of heart power and nervous
energy, that We may be we'll assured that
no facts of interest in the changed con-
dition OF the culprit will be permitted to
escape notice and record. A grave point
of discussion is whether he must still be
considered criminal, and suffer execu-
ton as guilty soldier, or shall be pen
