Galvanizing a Corpse.

After the execution of IIcidenhlut, the
Philadelphia murderer, there being no
claimant for the body, the corpse was
placed in charge of DR.. f. F. Maury, who
desired to establish certain scientific points
as vet unsOlyed. The body was taken TO
.Jefie, son Medical College, where Drs. w.
w. Keen, Carl Seller, Thomas g. Nor
gan, f. F. Maury, and Thomas ;. Kirk
bride began q series of experiments.
which lasted several hours, and revealed
some important facts. 1t had been 81 =
gestcd by Dr. ). Weir Mitchell, one of the
ablest of Investigators, to DR.. Keen, that q
case recently developed in London as to
the effect OF tumOrs, especially aneurismS,
on the vocal chords, should be made the
subject of scientific inquiry, and it was in
tended to experiment upon one OF the
brute creation. This intention was aban-
dOned when it became known that the
body OF the murderer could be procured
for this purpose. Operations were con-
Quoted by DR.. Keen, whs stated this even
ing that he first dissected the chords Of the
neck, which connected the larynx, and
galvanized each in turn, to determine
whe her they acted separately or combined,
on one or both tides. For instance, when
| the left chord was galvanized that only
responded, and the same was the case with
| the right. He found that there was no
crossing of chords from one side to the
other, and that the action of each was dis
rinct and independent. The movement OF
nerves and muscles could be plainly seen
| by meaus of small larynx mirror, insert
ed in the throat, and the results are I'M
doubtedly perfect. The doctor also ex-
amined and galvanized separately the ex-
ternal and in ernal intercOstal muscles be
tween the ribs, and found that their tunc-
ton was not uniform, but different. This
question has been a matter OF doubt
among medical men, but the discovery by
DR.. Keen that the external muscles are for
expiration and the intern-l for Inspiration,
will settle the dispute. 1t has been be-
lieved by some THAI by the application of
galvanism vitality can in measure be re-
vived. This impression is totally incor-
rect, for, while the application of a battery
to the frame of a dead man from whom life
has been extinct for a short time will serve
to produce muscular action, the result
shows that only portion of the body, and
not the brain, is excited by external pow
er. These experiments reveal novelties in
medical science, and, so far as known, no
results so satisfactory have hitherto at
tended similar investigations.-CoT ". I.

Cheap Shelter for Stock.

If person only have one ton of fodder
for his COW it would prove more ecenomi-
cal in point of dollars and cents to employ
nearly half of that fodder for building a
cOmtOrta lie hovel for his COW than TO allow
her to be exposed to all the cold and storms
of Northern winter, having free access to
all the fodder she would consume. Many
years ago farmers were wont to think that
in order to make tough horse the colt
must he kept in the open field, with snow
bank for his bed and the starry canopy for
his covering. But experience in our cold
ATTITUDES has taught the important lesson
that such practice in the management OF
colts checks their growth, retards their de-
velOpment and tends to enervate their
powers of endurance. We have no SYM
pathy with the barbarous practice of tying
young animals OF any kind in stalls. Let
them have liberty. The practice of tying
up colts in stalls is attended with more i'll
jury 10 them than TO young cattle, as colts
are always more active than calves and
want to be moving. If colts cannot be
provided with a yard more than twelve
feet square. let them run loose. Young
animals will endure extremely cold wealth
er without injury, provided they have no
more than an open hOvel to keep them dry
during stormy weather and to shield them
from chilling winds. When an animal is
not provided with a suitable supply OF
food his system will make draft on the
fat that has been stored up i'll the body.
The temperature Of the system must be
maintained. 1t is an expensive way to
keep domestic animals comfortably warm
by the consumption of the fat that has
been produced at costly price.
If one has calves Of any respectable
breed it will remunerate the owner in a
generous and satisfactory manner to pro-
vide a comfortable shed for them, and give
each one not less than quart Of meal per
day, in congectiOn with prime hay, good
corn-stalks, few roots and an abundance
of clean and bright straw.
In addition to generous feeding and reg
ular watering, all Illuminating animals need
comfortable place, where they can lie
down quietly every day on dry bed and
enjoy Illumination and quiet rest. II you
lack boards, set few posts in the ground,

4 Monkey Caper.

of the ladies half out of their wits. The

if the weather is warm and the sky clear:
but sometimes week, if the air is chilly
and damp, and the sky cloudy. After
leaving their native home, they have new
er been known TO propagate in their col
onies more than three years, and that but
twice in the history of the United States.
Somewhat more frequently they have
been known to hatch during the second
year. But out of twenty swarmS this has
happened only three times. In other
cases they have ended their existence and
their race, in any given place, in one year
OF those which invaded Nebraska last
wear, 1874, the first swarms laid eggs in
several counties; but the long, dry Fall
Matched them ont and thus stopped fur
ther production. The swarms that came
last seemed to have been Matched too far
north and TOO late in the season to come
TO maturity. and consequently they laid
no eggs. All these persisted in the first
frOsts.
Ii will be several years before their ma
tive land will be overcrowded. and when
they rise to migrate they will be as likely
to go in one direction as another. From
the extensive correspondence in Nebraska,
Kansas. Iowa and Minnesota, it is ascer-
tanned that no eggs have been laid that
will hatch next spring, except in part
OF one county in Kansas.
Ever since 1919 the plains have been
travelled over constantly, and the move
nents of this Desert Locust, as it should
be called, have been noted. In all thi;
time there has been no such devastation as
this year, nor is it likely that there will be
a recurrence of this calamity for many
wears. and let us hope never.
The number of persons made destitute
and dependent on aid from abroad for the
next six or eight months is not fully as
certained. But for the last two or three
years there has been heavy tide of immi
grafton to the interior and frontier O.
this fair State, where millions of ricl
acres have been awaiting the brave pi
oneer, and the number who must b.

A FireleSs Stove for Street Cars.

n firelcss stove, as it is called, is now
being tried by street-car company in
Columbus, Ohio. It's described as small
iron box placed under the car seat. The
box contains the necessary pipes and valves
and is filled with water. The heat is sup
piled at the depot. A small upright boiler,
not higher than man of ordinary stature,
and consuming not more coal than large
heating stove. supplies the steam. BY
means of rubber hose the steam is intro
duced into the stove through pipe which
projects from the outside of the car. In a
short time the condensed steam heats the
water to 2l2 degrees, and the ear is heated
and ready for travel. In atrip Of one mile
and return, occupying about forty min
utes, the stove only loses 80 degrees of
heat. Then another charge of steam is
given, and the temperature of the car is
kept pleasant constantly.

Facts about the GrasshOpper.

The Nebraska State Superintendent of
immigration, j. III. Notewarc, has issued
a paper in which he gives the result of his
inquiries into the history and habits of
the grasshopperS which did so much in
jury in Nebraska and other Western
st tes last season. We make the follow
ing extract:
The abiding home of the grasshopper is
found ON the high, dry plateaus of New
Mexico and Arizona, and the southern
foot hills of the Rocky Mountains. There
they are always, for it is their cOngenial
home. In some seasons, especially adapt
ed to this end, they multiply with aston
ishing rapidity, and become too numer-
Gus TO subsist. Then, like bees, they
swarm and migrate to other countries.
They follow no rule of emigration, but
go with the wind. They do not all 20 at
once nor to one place. They become
widely separated and much divided after
starting: but in almost any case, whether
the grand army or some principal detach-
ment, they are as the sands of the sea,
myriads Of millions. Coming in the dis
lance they look like light cloud rapidly
riding on the wind, and under the blazing
MONDAY sun they glitter like snow-flakes,
extending from near the ground to the

shadow on the earth. When they drop
down to feed, every green and gay thing
is covered in moment, and the earth is
gray and dismal. Only few things do
they disrelish-as sorghum, broom corn
and the peach. Wheat and oats, when
the straw or grain is green, are devoured
in a few hours. When the straw or grain
is somewhat dry and tough, they eat off
the stem just below the head, and the
graia falls TO the ground.
Corn is their staple, as they go for the
tssSels and silk, If these are cut, then the
tender grain; scramb.ing and erowding
each other like hungry pigs. They are
lond of potatoes, beans and cabbage: but
onions are their most delicious morsel-
they will dig into The ground for the last
particle.
Usually they remain not more than
twenty-four to forty-eighthours in place,
