rary was stocked. While wait
ing for his return, l began to
glance at the titles of the books. One
of the first that attracted my attention
was work in French, entitled, How
to Reach the Brain 1t was by Paul
ton, an eminent authority on brain sur
gerry. / picked up the volume and
glancing through it, found many pas
sages marked. l could read little
French, and one of the marked passages
l found to be description of expert
ments made in Paris by which animals
were killed by forcing air into the
brain. This was done by closing the
mouth and forcing the air into the
eyes or the nostrils by means of small
pump or syringe, made for the purpose.
Il learned that there are SMALL pas
sages leading to the brain from the eye
sockets, and from the nostrils, and that
air forced into the brain cavity through
these pa5Sagec would drive out the
blood and cause death. The work also
stated that an autopsy would in most
cases fail to reveal the cause of death.
Il had just begun hasty eXamina-
ton of another French work, Perriot's
Treatise Oh Slow and Secret poisons,
when l was interrupted by the return
of the doctor. l closed the books,
placed them where had found them,
and was looking out of window when
the doctor entered.
Il told him that l was investigating
the death of an old miser, in which
there was a suspicion that he had been
poisoned by one of his relatives, al
though the autopsy had failed to reveal
any trace of drugs. I wanted him to
tell me if there were not several ways
of taking human life that would leave
no trace of the cause of death.
CDR. Huger cast quick, sharp glance
at me as if he would read the secrets
of my soul. For a full minute he
searched my face with his wonderful
black eyes, and then apparently reas-
sured he answered my question. He
told me that there were several ways
of taking life, recently discovered, that
would battle the best skill of the student
of anatomy to detect the means used.

SOME NOTED OLD WOMEN.
A Few Famous Examples Found In the
Old World nv a Careful Search,

Few Famous Examples round In the
Old World by a Careful Search.
1t is an acknowledged fact that a
great age is attained by women oftener
than by men. Tissot, with doubtful
gallantry, accounts for this by declar-
ing that the large amount of talking
for which women are famous is very
healthy exercise, and promotes circu-
lation of blood without over-exerting
the organs. The true reason, probably,
lies in the quieter and more regular
life usually led by women. One of the
most famous female centenarians was
the Countess of Desmond. who lived to
be 145, and died in the reign Of James
l., from the effects of an accident. This
wonderful woman found herself at the
age of 100 so lively and strong as to be
able to take part in dance, and when
she was 14O she Travelled all the way
from Bristol to London-no triaing
journey in those days-in order to at
tend personally to some business af-
fairs.
Lady Desmond is, however, quite
thrown into the shade by French
woman, Marie Prion. who died in st.
Colombo, in June, 1888, at the wonder
full age of 1853. Toward the end of her
life she lived exclusively on goats milk
and cheese. Although her body was so
shrunk that she weighed only 46
pounds, she retained all her mental
faculties to the last 1t is an eXtraor-
binary but incontestable fact that some
women at the age when most people die
undergo sort of natural process of re-
juvenation-hair and teeth grow again,
the. wrinkles disappear from the skin,
and sight and hearing reacquire their
former sharpness. A MarQuise de Mira
beau is an example of this rare and re-
markable phenomenon. She died at the
age of eighty-six, but a few years before
her death she became, in appearance,
quite young again. The same change
happened to a nun of the name of Mar
guerite Verdur, who, at the age of g.,
lost her wrinkles, regained her sight,
and grew several new teeth. When she
died, ten years later, her appearance
was almost juvenile.

II went to the house and found Hodg-
son dead and his widow PROSTATE with
grief. An inquest by prominent ply
sicians revealed nothing.
MRS. Hodgson got most of the for
tune left by her husband and took a
long trip abroad. DR.. Louis Huger re-
manned in New York and attended
closely to his largely increasing prac-
tice, but the affair was not altogether
forgotten. The widow came home in a
year and the old friendship with the
doctor was renewed. 1t was soon re-
ported that they were to be married.
About the time that first heard the
report that they were to be married
soon was sent to investigate what was
at first supposed to be a case Of suicide
or accidental death. A woman and two
children living in a fat on the west side
were found dead in their rooms one
morning with the gas turned on. There
was no gas in their lungs. They were
dead before 1t was turned on. But the
autopsy helped us no further. 1t did
not disclose the cause of death. Many
physicians came and examined the bod
ies. All agreed that no natural cause
of death was apparent, and they could
not discover the artificial cause. Here
were three persons dead, and, while
medical science could tell that they
had not died natural deaths, it could
not discover the means used by the per-
son responsible.
