An Interesting Relic.

In the Museum Of the New York
Pathological society, under lock and
key, inaccessible to all except NJ. Dis.
or other individuals with sections of
the alphabet either before or after
their names, there is a fragment of
bone, about an inch in length and less
than half that wide. Small as it is, TO
the professional il is one of the most
interesting o~ssicles in existence. 1t is
a piece of the odontoid process of the
second cervical vertebra-the pivot
bone upon which the head rests and
turns.
This o~ssicle, so interesting to the
embryo surgeon, wa presented TO the
museum where it is now preserved
by DR.. William Bayard, ofSL. John. n.

The patient who furnished this in,

was fresh the medical adviser of the

the child's neck had been broken aud
that It's death was but a matter of a
few hours.

of the Garfield corner, where the trailer
should I've dropped.
Suddenly there was II yell, rs the legs of the

half over the dash board.
"Hi, there Stop that cablel You are

astonished conductor as he recovered his
balance from the jerk which he had received
while trying to hold ON to the pin chained to
the grip cur. The grip went on. He could
not hold as n link As the crestfallen fellow
informed the passengers that they would
have to get of, rs he would have TO push the
car for two blocks, the portly man replied:
"Well, guess not. Not in this rain You
cut us of -now you push us To the corner"
The conductor looked astonished He
stepped outside and called for the horses, two
blocks away, hut the driver only answered,
Bring ON your car" Disguised and defeat
