MENDING THE BRAIN.
An Experiment of u Rare and Singular
Nature.

An Experiment of u Rare and Singular
Nature.
DR.. w. Ct. Thompson, professor of
physiology of the University Medical
College, recently accomplished the re-
marlzable surgical feat of transferring
the brains Of a dog and cat while both
were alive. The object of the expert
ment, says the Chicago Tribune, was to
show that brain tissue may be grated
without interfering with the normal
functions Of the body. The laboratory
of the college was the scene of the
vivisection. After first bathing the am
imals in a weak solution of bi-chloride
of mercury, they were etherized, and
sufficient of the skulls was sawed off,
through which the larger portions of
the brains of each were taken. Tabby's
brains became Fido's property and vice
versa. The openings were closed and
dressed with antiscptic bandages.
The room WAS kept at exact blood
heat during the operation, in order to
guard against cold. The patients
were then placed in safe quarters and
carefully watched, until they were
deemed sufficiently recovered to be ex~
hibited to class Of one hundred and
fifty students. The cat seemed to be
all right and the dog moved about with
almost as much freedom as when he
had his own brains, though he seemed
perhaps a little stupid. At the time OF
the operation and just after the brains
had been taken out the animals lost
feeling in the paws, but the union OF
the old and the new brains had SO far
developed that the sensation had re-
turned to both animals.
In speaking to his class of the expert.
ment, DR.. Thompson said that a sue
cessful operation of this kind meant
nothing more nor less that the possibil.

portions Of those from the lower ami

TO the outlaw to marry his daughter,
and promised that if he did SO and re-
turned to an honest life he would do his
utmost to secure his pardon, and would
succeed beyond doubt. But Krou-
kowski replied that he regretted ex-
ceedingly that previous engagement
put it out of his power to comply with
the Counts request. He was very much
in love with another lady.
The authorities then went to work to
discover that interesting young lady.

Although his fights and duels were
innumerable, there was no evidence to
prove that he ever committed q cold
blooded murder. That was all that
could be said OF him, except that he was
charitable robber, and his gifts to the
poor were princely- AS he earned his
money easily, he parted with it lightly,
and he was a great favorite with the
moujiks, TO whom he really owed his
facilities for fooling the soldiers and the
police for 80 long time. But the court
sentenced him to penal servitude for
life, and his appeal to the Gear has been
unanswered. He will be sent to tbs
island OF Sakhaline, in Siberia, where
he will be chained to some other convict

oner has ever yet escaped. IL.

But the Public May be D--d-Aus-

Vehicles.
The San Antonio Rapid Transit
company and the San Antonio Street
railway company have at last settled
their Austin street dispute to suit
themselves, but in a way that does
not please the citizens and tax payers
of that part of the city, and the end
is not Yet.
Saturday night the foreman of
construction for the rapid transit
company had a force of men and a
supply of material on hand to lay q
single track on the street, bat were
stopped by the police at the instance
of the S. A. street car company.
They had settlement yes
terday, and the rapid transit COM
pany agreed to put down a complete
track on the west side of the street.
A large force was put to work yester-
day and as the citizens could get no
injunction served on Sunday, the job
was done before the day was over,
and the citizens were powerless to say
nay.
The street now is simply yard for
railway tracks, and is dangerous for
vehicles of every kind except street
cars to pass over. There is legal
fight promised and the city council
may be petioned to remedy the evil.

even greater than was expected.

finest companies in the country, and
otherwise compllmentlng them on

Listen to my tale of woe.
One day while passing the city through,
Listen to my tale of woe,
That Paree plug dawned on the view
OF several kids and an old goat too,
Listen to my tale of woe.
Then at the plug a brick they threw,
Listen to my tale OF woe,
Down from the head on which it grew
Fell the Paree plug of sable hue,
Listen TO my tale of woe.
The kids took a look. the goat took chew,
Listen TO my tale OF woe.
And then the trouble began to brew
Trouble alas. for the stove pipe new,
Listen to my tale OF woe.
Inside of the goat went the beaver new,
Listen to my tale of woe,
He butted the kids and Brine too.
And painted the latter black and blue,
