ANCIENT TEACHERS.
Great and Renowned Professors Of the
AIaXanGrfnn School

Great and Renowned Professors of the
AIexandrian school,
Among the most famous physicians
Of the university of Alexandria were
CIeo1n brotus, Herophilus and Erasistra-
tus. and among the subordinate physi~
clans was Philostephanus, who had
charge of the natural history depart
r1ent of the museum, and who wrote a
book on fishes.
The researches of the physicians we're
founded upon the only sure and GER
tain basis of anatomy. They were au-
tkorized by the royal authority of Ptol-
envy to resort 10 the dissection Of the
dead and to ascertain by that only
trustworthy method the correct struc-
ture of the human body. They were
also authorized to make vivisectiOns OF
criminals who had been condemned to
death, in order that they might ascer-
tain The mode by which the various
functions OF the body were performed.
HerophiIus wrot treatise on the
practice of medicine, on obstetrics on
the eve, and on the pulse, which he cor
rectlv referred 10 the movements Of the
heart He was aware Of the existence
Of the lacteals and of their anatomical
relations to the mesenteric glands.
Era sistra tus-his colleagues and
pupil of Theophrastus and Chrysippus
was aware of the nature of the heart
and its connection with the veins and
arteries, bat he fell into the error that
the veins were for the conveyance of
air and thu arteries for that of blood;
otherwise he anticipated Harvey's great
discovery. He knew that there were
/ two kinds of nerves, those of motion
and those of sensation.
/ Among the improvements in surgery
/ effected by this school of physicians
! msy be mentioned new operations for
/ litbotomv, instruments for crushing
/ calculi, for reducing dislocations, etc.
Among the great scientists, or rather
methematioiaus. were also PappuA, one
OF the greatest of ancient mathemati-
clans; Theon and his unfortunate
daughter. the famous Hypatia, who a p
pears to have been a better mathema-
tician than her father, the story OF
whose life and tragicRl death Is familiar
through Kingsley's novel Unfortu-
na+ely none of her works are extant
She was the last of the Alexandrian
philosophers who attained any fame.
She lived about AIS A. D.
Not only is this old university re-
uowned for the impulse which it gave
to science. bat 1t also extended its pro

the waist and has enormous pulled

GIRLs' street coats are braided and
finished with one or more capes, three
or four not being unusual.
A DRESS of striped material is SO cut
that the wearer has the appearance of
being diagonally bound up with mar
row tape. It is scarcely pretty and not
at all graceful.
THE turban is fairly fashionable. The
most approved style fits rather closely
to the head and recalls the old days
when n saucer-shaped headgear with
out trimming was looked upon as quite
the thing.
