Zorro district, who are said to have killed
So Belgian officers n men, nave destroy

EXPERTS IN THE LUETHbkT UAbE
Bones from the Vat Positively Identi.
fed as Human.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10, 1S97.-Only q few
! people who gathered around the entrance
of the Criminal Court building this morn
ing waiting for a possible invitation and
a pass which would enable them to enter
the room where they might occasionally
get a glimpse of Adolph L. Luetgert, al
legged wife murderer. and by continued at
tention catch a word or two of expert tes-
timony as to. chemical analysis on the
bones and slime said to be an that re-
main of Mrs. Luetgert.
For the first time in the history of the
trial, at least half of the number of per-
sons in attendance at the morning ses-
sion were men.
Shortly before the session opened two
muscular officers brought in the dry
goods box with its gruesome contents of
bone, flesh, slime and reeking canvas, by
examination of which the expert wit
nesses for the State are expected to es-
tablish both the possibility and the fact
of a human body having been disinteg-
rated in the long wooden vat in the base
ment of the sausage factory.
At $50 Luetgert entered the court room
closely followed by the Judge and jury.
BY the side of the prisoner were his
son AIIOlu, Nllilduu Slid iCop hc a.
and several expert chemists who assist
ed Attorney Vincent in cross-examining
the expert witnesses.
Prof. Delafontaine, whose examination
was begun yesterday, was the first wit
ness placed on the stand by the state.
The almost inaudible tones of the pro-
fessor were hardly heard beyond the
stenographers, and hardly a word could
be distinguished by the jury.
The witness identified several bits OF
tor Setback, asserting that the particles
were taken from the slime which was
designated as being the residue taken
from the sluice leading from the vat.
After a few minutes of questioning, the
witness positively identified the bits of
bone as human, asserting hat they were
portions of joints from fingers and toes.
This is one of the most important facts
which the State expected to establish. 1t
produced no effect but the equaninity of
the prisoner, who tilted back in his
chair. wearing his usual expression of in
terest, but betraying no emotion as he
listened closely to the testimony.

PENALTY OF GLUTTONY.
Lives That Are Shortened by the
Pleasures of the liable.

In spite of the warnings and commands
of family physicians, in spite Of the many
examples of shortened ives and ives of
suffering, men will yield to the seduc-
tiveness of the pleasures of the table.
The spectacle of the man who overeats
or who deliberately eats improper food is
common enough, but rarely do we see
as plain evidence of the admiration for
the glutton which certain people possess
as that which the daily papers some
time ago afforded.
A well known boniface died at an age
when he ought to have been enjoying
robust and vigorous health. Some slight
mention was made Of his business ven
lures, of his daily life, of his reason for
living. But all this part of his exist
ence was immaterial and undressing
The great and praiseworthy features OF
his life seem to lave been gastronomic
feats and a general ability to eat and
drink enormously. He was lauded as the
prince of bon vivants, the man who
could eat a huge dinner and shortly
thereafter swallow a brace of broiled
Holsters and a couple of Welsh rarebits,
washed down with copious libations of
vintages or distillages of fermentages.
During his last illness, when his physi-
clans enjoined rest in bed and a scrupu-
lously careful diet, we read that he was
game enough to dress and go out on the
hotel porch to sit, winding up his impru-
dence (and incidentally his life) with a
hearty meal, In defiance of the medical
directions. This last piece of bravado
was apparently considered as an achieve
ment fit to rank with a victory on the
battlefield, and the glutton was admiring-
ly mentioned as though he were a brill
liant and fearless hero, risking his life
in a worthy cause.
The only c~onclusior| we can draw is
that the epicurean philosophy still has
its cult, and hat many a mans motto
is, LET US eat and drink, for tomorrow
we die" The case is left to the moralist.

Teeth ThatM rake Root.

A Russian dentist has at length solved
the problem of supplying us with false
teeth which will grow into the gums as
firmly as natural ones, say the London
Figaro The teeth are made of gutta
percha, porcelain, or metal, as the case
may be. At the root of the tooth holes
are made, and also in the jaw. The tooth
is then placed in the cavity, and in a
short time a soft granulated growth
finds its way from the jaw into the holes
of the tooth. This growth gradually
1t does not matter in the least, accord
ing to this e~nterprising Russian dentist,
whether the cavity in which thet tooth is
placed is one from which a natural tooth
has recently been drawn; or whether it
has been healed for months or even years.

Restor,pr an old manuscrIpt,

The authorities of the city of Breslau
recently consulted the chemists Of the
University in that city respecting some
old manuscript of the sixteenth century,
which dampness and old age had rem
dered quite illegible in certain parts. It
was ascertained that nut gall ink had
been used, and when painted with a one
per cent. alcoholic solution of tannic acid
the characters became discernible; am
monium sulphide brought them out again
in full distinctness.
