cine are every day making advances One
of the most startling lines Of experiment
recentiy.made consists in the Injection of
!. blood taken from an animal which has re-
covered from an infectious disease into tn
veins or another animal which is suffering
tram the, same disease. SubcutaneOus in
lectons, 1t Is said, may even prevent the
development of the disease If ithas made a
start The Berlin Physiological Society had
some. remarkable experiments laid before it
lately. a horse which had been rendered
nen=Eeceptive to loC6J1w by recovery from
/ the disease was relieved of some blood
serum. which was injected into mice that
had been lDOeulated with the baciEli of
locEja-w. These mice recovered. while 9TH
ers which were not treated suecumbed to
the disease. Doctors now propose to expert
ment on human beings, both for lock Jaw
and !diphtheria. Perhaps Pasteur may see
IN this process short cut to the cure of
hydrQphobia. A dog which has recovered
might be used to treat sufferers.
Having been deceived in the purchase of
Scott aud Burns manuscripts, Mr. j. S.
Kennedy of New York proposes. to make
some one responsible in: damages. The
fabrication in these manuscripts was not a
hoax but q swndie, and numbers of the
critical with very sharp eyes We're deceived.
Il was only when MI Kennedy had donated
his collection to New York and some ex-
peTts connected with the British Museum
had pronounced. them forgerles that the
wholesale extent Of the huInbug pEactfced

an old trick In ancient papyri and DaTch-
ment inscriptions. The manufacture of
mummy cases may even make headway in
order to crafty the thirst for the antique
but the Imitation of the moderns. is q new
field. Mr. Kennedy has brought an action
/: against MIR. Stilile, famous bookseller of
Edtnb burgh. with whom two generations of
bibliophils have been acquainted. He is 90
years OF age, and was a friend Of Scott
jeffrey, Wilson, Lnckhart.and many other
celebrities. Mr.. Gladstone always makes a
call on the aged bookseller. Mr. Stillie
must himself have been deceived by the
manuscripts, but in law lie may be respon-
sible. -

made great headway in. this century.
America and England have shown common
sense and good example. on certain ques-

hatching of quarter of a million chickens
within few months, and it is calculated
that nearly hundred million fowls are thus
ineubated in Pharoah land annually. A
dispute is going Ou'as to whether artificially
hatehed fowls are as fertile as those which
are batched by the, hen. 1t is a question
which the naturalist can only settle by sys-

entertained that a considerable amount of
Pacific Coast freight@may now be shipped to
Europa from Colon. there being several lines
which cali at that port. The policy of the
Panama Railroad Company lies in the ex-
pausion of trade from whatever source it
comes, not in its restriction TO suit the policy
OF one organization; but the through. rates
obtainable by the North American Company
will give it manifest advantages. What the

This is the second ship of the fleet which is
