A rare nervous disease is being in
vestigated by the French Academy of
Medicine, to which the present case
has been reported by DIR. Marinesco,
of Bucharest. The patient, young
Roumanian, is given TO what is known
among savants as mirror writing. "
That is, the letters which he naturally
forms with his pen are all written
backward, so that they appear in their
proper arrangement only when re-
fected in a mirror. The hands of the
patient when unoccupied are affected
with nervous trembling which gen.
orally ceases when they are used to a
definite purpose. The writing is per-
fectly accurate, and it appears impos-
sible for the sufferer to do any other
kind. Although cases of partial mir
ror-writing have been observed be-
fore, the present is said to be by far
the most perfect.

1t may be difficult to believe in the
existence of lake of sulphuric acid,
but there is such lake in the centre
of Sulphur Island, off New Zealand.
1t is fifty acres in extent, about twelve
feet in depth and fifteen feet above
the level of the sea. The most re-
markable characteristic of this lake,
however, is that the water contains
vast quantities of hydrochloric and
sulphuric acids, kissing and bubbling
at a temperature of 110 degrees
Fahrenheit. The dark green colored
water looks particularly uninviting.
Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes con-
stantly roll off this boiling caldron,
and care has to be exercised in ap-
preaching this lake to avoid the risk
of suffocation.

The autopsy held by Coroner's PLY.
sician Morton on the body of James
ii. Coleman in Philadelphia, revealed
a most peculiar anatomical construc-
tion, 80 far as the internal organs are
concerned, for they are located on the
opposite side from where they are
situated in other human beings. DIR.
Morton said that it was most re-
markable case. Coleman's heart is on
the right side, his liver is on the left,
his spleen is on the right, and that
part of his stomach that should be on
the left side is on the right. The
organs thus situated on the reverse
side of where they should be were of
the normal size, the physician said, ex-
cept that the liver was somewhat large.
He was thirty-six years old, of medium
height, married, and the father of a
family.
