Without exception the rabbit dies on
the eleventh day, and Is then cut up In
TO small particles. which arc reduced TO
O LIQUID, which Is the virus.
AT first healthy rabbit Is taken and
stretched upon "A board, as illustrated.
The skull Is bored into and the injection
made by the aproned assistant.
The unfortunate rabbit Is then placed
In a cage by himself, where he Is allowed
TO remain until the following morning,
when the attendant removes him 10
another cage, and so on until he reaches
his place OF death.
After the first rabbit has produced n
virus worthy OF use the remaining rab.
bits are inoculated In the brain with
portion OF rabbits spine which has
already died from the effects OF inocula-
ton.
Tho spine Is reduced 10 liquid before
IL Is used upon the doomed rabbit.
Following the day Of the original In
oculation the rabbit begins to grow
weak. The fifty day he can not stand.
and from then until his death he grows
more feeble. but Is otherwise In healthy
condition.
After the death the sinews, flesh, and
bones are separated from the remainder
OF the body and reduced 10 virus.
The part OF the animals body which
Is not thrown away Is then worked over
and over until IL becomes white liquid.
after which II IL placed in glasses TO
await use. which usually takes place
three days afterward.
The Pasteur system demands that
rabbit shall die every day. In order TO
have the virus In proper condition for
the various patients.

French Military Forces.

An intelligent officer nc the arsenal

had 900 fully equipped soldiers in
active service ut home; within sever
days 200 900 could be- put in the field,
and within three weeks total of D.
500, 900 men could be had for effective
war service. This seems like big iig-
uring on paper. but from the largo
bodies Of soldiers located in every VII
lage and hamlet wherever YOU go il
doesn't seem like Boosting. There
seems TO be n general impression that
trouble may arise from Italy nj any

TO rush n torrent upon her shores.

laughed.
A young girl was next She was very
brave all through the operation. only
whimpering once or twice when tho
needle was pushed into her white flesh.
When she had been bowed out the
next patient was found TO be an elderly
gentleman. who went about things In a
business-like manner. made a few re.
marks about the weather. and went on
his way with as much unconcern as Ii
he'd just dropped In TO pay q bill.
The entire operation takes only four
or five minutes. and DIR. Gibier works
very fast
Ills last patient the afternoon the
writer called was Mrs. Stone. who re-
sides near Jamaica. on Long island, aud
who was so badly bitten by huge
bloodhound that her life was despaired
OF. She was inoculated while reclin-
ing at full length on the surgical chair.
and made little ado over the operation.
The head Of the dog which bit her
has been preserved by DR.. Glbies. who
removed the brains aud Is analysing
them.
Al present there are about thirty
patients being treated daily. The doc
tors time Is greatly taken up. however.
by the scores Of people who apply for
treatment but who have not sufficient
cause to fear hydrophobia.
There arc also a number OF curious
people who have not beeu bitten by
anybody or anything, but who have
some trifiing wound which they exhibit
To- DIR. Gibier simply TO see how his
office looks. He can detect these frauds
the moment they expose their wounds.
and they usually go right out In the
street again without any waste OF words.
On the second floor OF the institute Is
the laboratory where the virus lie pre-
pared.
The older the virus the stronger II Is.
and IL Is so arranged that the first In.
oculation is made with virus just pre-.
pared.
AS tho number Of NEGOTIATIONS increase
the older virus Is used
The preparation of the virus consumes
eleven days.
A portion of the spine OF rabid beast
Is secured aud reduced to liquid. which
IL kept for a month.
This liquid is then injected Into the
brain OF a healthy rabbit.
The rabit is placed 10 cage. and each
day is moved into another cage. until he
arrives at the prison OF death.

The private Office Is not unlike other
physicians snnctums. Ii is about the
size of the rcception-room.
There are two attendants, who stand
about knowingly. arranging the virus

Yes. SIR, timidly.

baudagcs. displaying two ugly looking
teeth marks. which the doctor gazed al
intently for a moment.

Please prepare for the incubation"
The young man was speechless for Q
moment. but finally stammered out:
"How2"
"The attendant will assist you," re.
piled the doctor with most assuring
smile.
The attendant is clad In a long white
apron just like the one Gene at the door
wore, which. by the way. looks very
much like those worn by the butchers

small piece Of cotton held by small in
strument, moistened the young mans
side just above the hip bone, where the
incubation was to be made.
The doctors assistant then held the
patient tight around the waist, with his
shirt tucked up under his arms.
With his left hand the doctor secured
firm hold on about three inches OF
flesh, which he drew out an inch or two
from the body.
AT the same time with the right hand
he took the incubator, which looks like

10 look at his side.
He was just about 10 rcarrange his

out the trenches, passing back and forth

A Suggestion of the Photograph in Il Sew
enteenth Century Fable.

The idea of the magnetic telegraph is
said TO be certainly three hundred years
old. But the photograph was believed
to be comparatively a new notion.

before the end of the present century
we should probably possess a means of
recording and reproducing speech; but
the like connection turns out to be far
older than that
In the middle ofth seventeenth cent
urv VI. de Bergerac,a well-known French
writer of his day, and fOrerunner of
Jules Verne, published a fabulous ac-
count of q visit to the moon, which con-
tainS an account of two mechanical
books left in city of the moon by d
visitor from the sun. In opening one of
these books the narrator states that he
found somewhat of metal almost like
TO our clocks. full of l know not what
little springs and imperce ptible engines.
1t was book. indeed, but a strange
and wonderful book that had neither
leaves nor letters. In fine it was a book
made wholly for the ears and not the
eyes, so that when any body has mind
to read it he winds up that machine
with a great many little springs: then
he turns his hand TO the chapter which
he desires 10 hear and straight as from

ment proceed all the distinct and differ
