He was also equally successful when the

respectable authority; and yet there are
persons obstinate and ignorant enough to

same class of persons will be incredulous
as to the truth of our statement.
''But truth is mighty and must pre-.
vail, and VIC trust soon to give ocular
demonstration Of the facts detailed.
S'We shall now follow the language of
the paper, but give brief outline of the
facts recorded.
It seems, that for more than fourteen
years, Prof. Getting, of Bruenberg, a man
we'll known in the literary and scietific
world, has had his attention directed to
the production Of animal life by means
Of galvanism.
This was daring thought, but the
professor, with the seal and devotion
worthy the old alchemists in whose foot.
steps he was following, persevered against
obstacles that would have discouraged
any man less sanguine than himself; and
at last has had the satisfaction of seeing
his patient labors crowned with SUCCESS,
that will place his name in the foremost
rank of that galaxy of bright stars who
preceded him in the great field of dis
covery.
The professors fist experiment was to
hatch chickens from the egg by the c,n-
ployment Of artificial heat after the man.
ner of the Egyptians. In this he was
entirely successful, and perfected = SIM

ature for any period Of time.
This being accomplished, he turned his
attention to the production Of the egg.
This was no easy matter; but after in.
Vulnerable experiments, during period
often years, the details of which would
fill volume, he succeeded in making A
corrcc: analysis of an egg. One step was
accomplished; but the most difficult was
yet to be taken-the mysterious comb.
nation Of the elements so as to form 4
compound similar to the natural articles.
Encouraged by his success, the doctor
set about his almost hopeless task with
. determination to surmount every OBJ.
staclc. He felt satisfied that it was only
by means of galvanism that this object
could be accomplished, and directed all
his energies to the construction Of bat.
terry of constant, equal, and moderate
power.
After trying nearly every kind of battery
in use, he had almost begun to despair,
when, by accident, he learned that con.
slant battery of moderate power had
been constructed in England by placing q
plate of zinc and plate of copper in an
ordinary lower.pot. and keeping the
earth moistencd with ammonia.
He Immediately constructed such 4
one. After various notifications, he sue.
ceeded in adapting it to his purpose ; and
had the satisfaction, after nearly four.
teen years of almost constant experiment,
OF seeing bis labers crowned with success,
and producing from elements . substance
similar in oil respects TO an egg.
Now came the exciting period of his
labors. to see whether this artiicially.
formed egg could be Matched by heat.
He placed it in his hatching.oven, and
watched it through glass door almost
constantly, scarcely taking time to eat or
sleep. until he had seen the sccess of his
grand experiment.
Day after day he watched with patient
assiduity the consumation of his darling
scheme, and at last had the satisfaction
Of witnessing the consumation of his
hopes. On the twentieth day after
placing his egg in the oven, small hole
was Observed in one side of it, and short.

through. The professor was nearly wild
with delight, and severed times was on
the point Of breaking tho egg, to SEQ what
kind Of = bird he was going to have. He
restrained himself, however, and next
morning had the satisfaction OF finding
in the receiver live bird Of some un-
known species, perfect in his anatomy,
but, strange to say, entirely without
feathers!
