EARLY ENGLISH DOCTORS.
They Had to Attend Three DiSSections
at Which a Body Was Opened.

at Whlcn u Body Was opened.
The earlist record of a school of physics
at Cambridge University is in 1421, but
the first definite provision for anatomical
teaching was made by John Caius some
what later in the same century. He was
followed by w. Hardy III the sixteenth
and by brilliant galaxy of anatoniStS in
the seventeenth centuries, of which one
instructed Newton and another tried his
hand at writing plays. From the time of
Caius we were intimately connected with
the Corporation OF Surgeons in London,
who sent us a scholar receiving $40 year
for his maintenance and 93 year to pro-
vide himself with books. In order to
qualify as practitioner in those DAYS it
was necessary TO have attended three dis
sections at which body was opened and
''the physicians present diScoursed at
random concerning the interior"
The first separate professorship of anat-
omy was founded at Cambridge IN the
year 1907, but the immediate effect of the
endowment appears to have been cessa-
ton of all interest in the subject. 1t was
the time of the resurrectionists, however,
and we read of the watchmen being al
lowed to search III Emmanuel for miss
ing body. This was illegal, be it re-
marked, and really an act of coercion, as
may be seen from the following tale: 4
giant once died in Dublin, thereby excit-
ing the desires of an anatomical professor
and his students, to whom he said:
Gentlemen, / understand that your
feelings are excited towards the seizure
of this body, against which / must GER
tainly counsel you. But in case your
zeal should overcome your discretion, |
will tell you the exact case of the law,
which is, that you may take the body,
but that for the removal of the last rag
or shred of covering thereon you may be
hanged. Therefore, if you should re-
move the body, be careful that it is ut
terly unclothed." Needless to say, that
the Professor was given the opportunity
of experimenting upon that giant
4 more melancholy anecdote is associ-
ated with the memory of our Professor
Collignon, who once invited two friends
to the dissection of body, in which one
of them recognized the features of an ac-
quaintance. 1t was the body of Law
renee Sterne, whose final return to his
university formed tragic ending to the
sentimental journey of his life"
Professor Haviland made the first col
lection of anatomical specimens, while
the first museum was founded by his sue
cessor, Professor Clark, who raised it to
be the first in the world. We have en-
tered upon goodly heritage, and, in the
stimulating presence Of Sir George Paget
and Sir George Humphrey, may we not
learn to penetrate yet farther into those
regions of knowledge where the unknown
still far exceeds the known?-Knoactedge

Light without Fire.

To obtain light instantly, without the
use of matches and without the danger of
setting things on fire is, according to the
Mining and Scientific Press, easy. Take
a long vial of the dearest glass, put into
it piece of phosphorus about the size of
pea. Upon this pour some pure olive
oil heated to the boiling point, the bottle
to be filled one-third full; then cork
tightly. To use the light remove the
cork, allow the air to enter and then re-
cork. The whole empty space in the bot
tie will become luminous and the light
obtained viii be good one. AS soon as
the light becomes dim its power can be
increased by opening the bottle and al
lowing fresh supply of air to enter. In
cold weather it is sometimes necessary to
heat the vial between the hands to in
crease the fluidity of the oil, and one bot
tie will last all winter. This ingenious
contrivance can be carried in the pock ct
and is used by watchmen of Paris in
magazines where explosive or infiamma-
bic materials are stored.

PARoCHAL SCHOOLS.
Papal Views ON the Question In the
United States.

l. dpai views on Jne question In the
United States.
ROME, April PA correspondent of
the Associated Press to-day had talk
with a high ecclesiastical parsonage ac-
quainted with the Papal views on the
school question in the United States.
He said, in part: "What seems neces-
sary here, from Catholic point of view,
is moderation and not precipitation The
general course to be pursued, however,
is quite manifest. The Catholics in
America should have parochial schools
in all parishes where it is possible, and
where there is sufficient means to render
them equal to the public schools. Where
1t is impossible to do this, schools should
be established in which "a catechism may
be taught, or the State should be per-
suaded to permit instruction in the cate
chlSm outside of the hours regularly ap-
pointed for ordinary school subjects, as
Is done in Germany.
"One thing is absolutely obligatory.
That is, to found no parochial schools un-
less they can be put on a level with those
of the State. At present the Catholic
schools in the United States cannot rival
the State schools, as they have not sufi-
cient resources. The Vatican has conf
dence in the zeal and tact of the hierarchy
in America -

THE wALLA wALLA EPISODE.
A Rigid Investigation to be Made of
the Affair.


WALLA WALLA, April 27.-Inspector-
General S. S. Sumner is in the city for
the purpose of investigating the action of
the soldiers of the Fourth Cavalry in the
lynching of A. J. Hunt Friday night for
the shooting of private Miller of Troop D.
Sumner called on Prosecuting Attorney
Blanford and Superior Judge Upton, and
informed them that he had come to thor
oughly investigate the trouble, and to
assure them that it would be no white
wash, but rigid investigation.
During the day he has been interview
ing many citizens to gather an idea of
the prevailing sentiment. He states that
he will remain until the Grand Jury,
which assemblies tomorrow, has COM
pleted its labors, and will be prepared to
assist them in their investigations.
Attorney Blandford to-day received a
reply to his dispatch to the Secretary Of
War. That official announced that or
ders for strict investigation had been
given.
At 4:15 this afternoon private e. Miller,
who was shot by Hunt, died, after lying
totally paralyzed from the breast down
for four days. On request of the military
authorities Coroner Blalock decided to
hold an inquest over the remains at the
Garrison in the morning.
Hunt, the victim of Friday nights mob,
was buried to-day and was followed to
the grave by few friends.

A SILK Garnet.

On view at the carpet exhibition at the
Commercial Museum in Vienna is large
silk carpet, the property of the imperial
court, of considerable historical and ar
tistic interest. The carpet, marvel of
its kind, was presented to the Emperor
Charles VI by Car Peter the Great, and
is a magnificent specimen of old oriental
carpet weaving. 1t is unequaled for the
richness and purity of its colors, and the
bues and tints of its silken fleece change
kaleidoscopically according to the posi-
ton in which it is exposed TO the light.
This remarkable piece of tapestry repre-
sents in brilliant colors picture of the
chase at the Persian Court, while the
border is adorned with strange repre-
sentations of feathered genii and flying
dragons.
