"Grimwood, I'll give you that to let me

'Grimwood. I'll give you that to let me
go up.''
''No," was the response "We'n stick to
the agreement The one who wins shall
make the trip"
The two bright young men didn't know
it, but when they laid their pennies on the
board at their feet they were casting lots
for life or death. Grimwood gained the
coveted prize-the seat in the basket of the
balloon by the side of the now impatient
aeronaut. He jumped aboard, the order
was given to cast Off the ropes and the I'M
chained monster bounded upward with q
mighty rush and SCARED northward like a
thing of life. What followed, Anticipa-
ton, doubt, anxiety, despair, the recovery
of body. AS conjectured, the balloon
drifted out over Lake Michigan during
q storm, collapsed and FELL into the waves
Grimwood's corpse was found on the beach
up in the wilds of Michigan, and lumber

EXTRAORDINARY SURGERY.
A New York Doctor Crafts Brain from

A New York Doctor Crafts Brain from
One Animal to Another.
NEW YORK, July DIR. w. Gilman
Thompson, professor of physiology in the
New York university and visiting physi-
clan to the Presbyterian and New York
hospitals, has recently succeeded in graft
in 3 the brain of one animal upon that of
an other. His success opens the question
of the possibility of the grating Of the
br aims of human beings. DR. Thompson
cut open the skulls of two large dogs and
in exchanged pieces of the brain tissue
of each. On the third day both dogs were
XII led and the transplanted pieces of brain
tissue looked normal, and in each case
were firmly knitted together. The next
ex pertinent was with cat and dog.
Three days later the cat was killed. The
trsnsplanted dogs brain was found where
it had been placed, firmly adherring to the
cats brain.
Gave a Dog Some Cats Brain.
He next procured mongrel dog, opened
his SIX ull over the left lobe of the brain
and through the opening removed a small
portion of brain tissue. A cat was sim
ultaneously operated upon in the same
m inner and the brain tissue of the cal
| and dog were interchanged. The open
in IS were closed and treated. The dog
made good recovery from the operation,
although he was feeble for few days.
So bsequently he appeared normal every
way except the loss of vision. He was
killed at the end of seven weeks, when the
piece of transplanted cats brain wa:
found firmly adhered to the dogs BRAIN

HOW IEpt tSSOk hlGdlNS WENT UP.
Those who 90 down to the sea in ships
face perils of certain nature which they
are able tomeet and generally overcome
by means of the appliances man has in
vented for the purpose of battling with the
storm and waves. But those who invade
N.he air with balloons can safeguard them
selves to no appreciable extent. Peril at
tends the rise from earth, and once above
the housetOps the aerial craft is at the
mercy of every breeze that blows. Danger
likewise surrounds the descent, md while
accidents are not so numerous as the con
ditions would seem to demand, still it Is a
fair statement to characterize as lucky
any one who has passed twenty -four hours
above the clouds, and then reached terra
firma in safety.
1t was only the other day that the 60, 900
Inhabitants of Croydon, an English city
not far from London, were thrown into a
psroxysm of excitement and apprehension
regarding the fate of Professor Higgins, q
local aeronaut. He had prepared balloon
of a capacity OF 1900 cubic feet with a
parachute and trapeze attachment. When
he gave the signal the ropes were loosed,
and the air ship sailed away in the direc-
ton of Norwood. Upon reaching an alti-
tude of 1900 feet the parachute became de-
tached from the net of the balloon, which
shot up at a great rate and rapidly disap-
peared in the clouds This was an emer-
gency not included in the programme, for

ESCAPE OF TIE pAEAcHUrE.

T.
Higgins had intended to descend within
the limits OF the field from which he made
his departure. The loss OF the parachute,
and the periious predicament in which the
voyager was thereby placed, no car being
attached to the balloon, naturally aroused
the gravest fearsin the minds of his friends
and relatives. The last glimpse caught of
him on the edge of the sky showed that he
was hanging by one hand to pendant
rope and clutching at the mouth OF the
air shipawith the other. No one for a mo-
ment entertained any hope OF his escape,
and the general relief was accompanied
with intense establishment when late at
night telegram from Tunbridge an
nounced that he had landed safely
On his return the professor naturally had
remarkable story to tell He reached
such an altitude that icicles formed on his
hair and mustache. The slow escape of
gas from the balloon finally changed its up
ward to downward progress, and the re-
turn to the lower and warmer strata of the
air revived the unwilling traveller sufi-
GENTLY 50 that he was enabled to make a
struggle for life. He lowered himself to
the end of his little trapeze rope, and so
hung until his feet touched the earth. He
could not, however, get free until the bal
