GOLD IN HIS BRAIN.
A Medical Student Makes a Queer Discov-
ery While Dissccting a Head.

"A Medical student MAKES q VUccT D1oCOV"
cry While Dissocting Head.
According to a New York correspondent
one of the medical students of the College
of Physicians and Surgeons was the lucky
finder of piece Of gold worth $40 under
very peculiar circumst stances. In dlssectlng
head, he had removed the outer coverings
of the scalp and muscular tissues, when
raising what seemed a lump-li}ze tu1nor OF
cicatricial tissue he discovered plato OF
yellow metal let into the skull like a roof
door IN the roof of house. Without say
ing wordto any of the surrounding stu
dents, he quietly took out q circle OF bone
about the strange piece of metal, and, put
ting away his instruments, repaired to his
preceptor, to whom he showed his strange
find. On careful examination II proved to
be g. twentydollar gold-pece, which had
been hammered out smooth but still re-
tanned it's mllled edge. On the outer sace OF it,
which was one and q half inches across, was
the legend, ssMexlco 1912 while within tho
initials {; G.. D. B., II. s. A.," were engraved
rather crudely. The place which it occu-
pied in the skull had closed beneath it, 8
hard, fibrous tissue having formed beneath
the gold plate Itwas evident that. the man,
who is described as having been before
death half crazy, had been wounded during
the Mexican war in the head with piece
of she'll His skull had been trephlned by
an American army surgeon, and in accord
ance with the surgical ideas Of the time.
The trephine hole had been closed with a
fattened out and highly polished gold coin.
This he has carried in his skull over forty
years All that the student could find out
about the body was that the old soldier had
died at one of the free hospitals of pnen-
monia, the surgeons not suspecting that
his head contained miniature gold mine.
The body will be buried in tho potter's
