 IN Italy, the death is announced from Turin of Professor Angelo Motta, concern ing whom very strange stories arc told. Motta was an old man of 60, who lived on the fourth floor of the Via St. Anselmo. He was skilled chemist and professed to be able to "metal- lize" dead bodies. A newspaper correspond ent who visited Signor Motta last month pro- fesses to have been shown the bust of wo- man of the color of bright red copper. The hands were resting on the barred bosom, and the texture of the flesh, with it's wrinkles, it's folds and the grain of the epidermis wero distinctly visible.
 Tho correspondent asked the professor if this was anything more than q species of el- ectrotyping. The scientist replied that such a treatment of the skin would cause a disap- pc rance of the delicate portions of the body. "I pursue 8 different courss," continued Motta. T substitute metal for the organic matter, which completely destroy" Saying this, the professor took from the wardrobe the arm of q child. It had been cut off tt the shoulder. and from it's five fingers hung five copper wires. Tho arm was of q dark hue. ''It had only passed, j" he continued, through a preliminary process. have destroyed only q portion of the organic matter of which it was composed by means of g preparation which is my secret. render it rigid and preserve it's form. shall next immerse it in metallic bath placing these five wires in communica- ton with 5 powerful batteay. The metal will gradually take tho place of organic matter, hrnc md ticSnn mi nd 0fhap To r,rn mt the shrinking of the veins you will notice that have sealed them with wax. When the opera ton is completed shall have metal arm in- stead of one of f1esh-an arm in any section of which the "metallized" tissues will bo plainly visible. Professor Motta then showed several heads, one woman's and those of several children which had been subjected to this curious process. But there was more cheerful side to the professors experiments. He had "metallized" not only hosh, but the broad leaves of the marsh mallow, the most delicate flowers the feathers of birds, speci- mems of fine lace, vine leaves, a lizard, and. most remarkable of all a tuft of hair. In fact the old man had, during the past twenty seven years, devoted himself entirely to the development of his pet idea. He had expend- cd Q small fortune and lived upon less than $50 year in coul ie of rooms that cost him virtually nothing. "Ah," said old Motta, in melancholy tones, aS the correspondent took his leave; 'tthus far have only been ablo to 'smetallize'' one half of the human body. My dream is to turn a corpse into statue of copper, but have no money and but little strength and energy. All ask is my daily bread "a roof to shelter me and money enough to carry my project into execution
 THE Animals Institute in Belgrave square was opened by the Baroness Burdett-Co Coutts and others on Wednesday. It is q big hospi- tai for the treatment of all kinds of injured animals. Opulent pugs from Mayfair must pay for their medicine, but the yellow dog of poverty will be cared for gratis. In connec- ton with this 1t cheers the soul to know that the latest Paris fashion in dogs commands two pockets in the canine ulster or dotman when travelling, one to hold Jumps of sugar and the other for small fine pocket hand- kerchief to wipe the little brute's nose with.
 ONE of the attractions of tho Paris Exhibi- ton next year is to be an immense model of the terrestrial globe in the Champ de Mars. It will rotate on an axis and will give some idea of the real dimensions as well as be acc eurately constructed on scale of one-milli- onth. Several able scientists have charge of the construction.
