The Precious Stones Being Manufactured
by Chcn1ists.
What Is tho use ofexploring unknown
and dangerous countries for rubies when
the secret Of their artificial pro
duction has been disoovercdp This wns
the question which the Academy of
Sciences discussed on the report of
NM. Frerny and Vcrneuil, who, for
come time past, have been making
chemical experiments IN the manu-
facture of these stones. Moro va1ua-
BILE than mere theory, says tho Pail
Mall Gazette, was tho foot that tho two
chemists exhibited some hundreds of
specimens Of the glittering red crystals
they had succeeded in producing The
rubies wore admitted by all to be
much superior to any thing hitherto
manufactured. No little danger, how
ever. attends tho proceas The chemi-.
Gals have to be fused ut q heat SO in
tense that NJ. Vcrncuil, during the
course of the experiments, nearly lost
his sight. While manufacturing rubics
tho two chemists found that, ct GER
tain stage of tho operations, crystals of
the color Of sapphires woro produced,
but the hue hitherto obtained has not
qcen equal to the tint of tho real gem.

4 DR.. w. G.. Thompson, professor of
physiology Of tho University Medical
College. recently accomplished the re-
markablc surgical feat OF Transforming
the brains of dog and cat while both
were alive. The object Of tho export
ment, says the Chicago Tribune, was to
Show that brain tissue mny DO grated
without interfering with tho normal
functions of tho body. Tho laboratory
of the college was the sceno of the
vivisection. After first bathing the an
imals in weak solution of bi-chloride
OF mercury, they wcro ethcrized, and
sufficient of the Skulls was sawed off.
through which tho larger portions of
the brains of each wcro taken Tabby's
brains became Fido's property and vice
versa The openings wcro closed and
dressed with antiseptic bandages
The room was, kept mt exact blood
heat during the operation, in order to
guard against n cold. The patients
were ti,'n placed in safe quarters nnd
carefully watched, until they wcro
deemed sufficiently recovered to be ex
hibitcd to n class of ono hundred rnd
hfty students. Tho cat seemed to be
all right and the dog moved about with
almost us much freedom as when he
had his own brains, though he seemed
perhaps little stupid. At tho time of
the operation and just after tho brains
had been taken out the animals lost
feeling in the paws but tho 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
mcnt, DR.. Thompson said that n sue
cessful operation Of this kind meant
nothing moro nor less that the possibil-
ity OF repairing mans brains with
portions of those from the lower ami
mails
