Physicians of Newark, N. j., say
there is no parallel in medical records
for the phenomenon of nature that
was disclosed lately in that city at
the birth of boy. The heart OF the
infant, instead OF being in its normal
position, was by curious freak of
nature placed completely outside the
chest, directly over its natural posi-
ton. For forty.eight hours the ex.
posed organ did its work, but II was
observed that the child began to grow
gradually weaker until it died. The
attending doctor said the child's heart
was little larger than usual, and the
ventricals were separated, but other
wise it was normal.

Theoretically sealed said to contain
the remains of tho Egyptian King
Rameses III, has led to the discovery
that one of the vases contains the real

Jews. In the other three vases were
found bandages containing filaments
supposed to be the remains of the
viscera of the dead monarch, but the
fourth contained bony oblong object
which a chemical examination made
out as the heart of the ancient Egyp-
