Cock Fighting.

Two boys stand in a circle
which is about six feet in dame
ter. Each grasps his left foot
with his right hand behind his
back. The left hand holds the
right arm behind the back. In
this position the # . ter can hop
around on only one leg and nei-
ther of his arms are free to be
used.
At the word "go" the boys hop
into the circle and try to knock
each other down or push one an
other out of the ring. The one
who is pushed out three times
loses. To be knocked down in
side the ring once also means de-
feat.

Remarkable Discovery.

A remarkable discovery with regard to the blood, says the Scientific Amer ican, has just been made b., phy- sician in LonOdn. In making serums the doctor got the needed plasma from the blood of horses. After he had drawn off the plasma, he injected the red corpuscles into the horses again. The result was that the horses imme- diately formed new blood fluid of nor nal composition. It will take some time to determine the full possibili- ties of so startling a discovery, but it is likely to have an important bearing on the practice as well as the theory of medicine.
