What a surgeon this Chinese professor must have been! What a technic he must have ac- quired! What nerve! What indifference to the agony he inflicted! How splendidly he must have ignored the injustice he perpetrated! And how artfully, by means of his mutilations, be con- cealed the crime he committed !

It is accomplished, however, by the Chinese. to whom nothing seems to be unknown. The skin is removed in small particles from the entire sur- face of the body, and to the bleeding parts bits of the hide of living animals, bears and dogs, are usually applied. The operation requires years for its full ac- complishment. After the person has had his skin completely changed and becomes a man-bear or a man- dog he is made nude to complete the illusion and also deprive him of the means of informing the public he is intended to amuse of his long torture. A Chinese iournal, the Hupao, prints a description of one of these human animals exhibited in the Kiangsi. His entire body was covered with dog-skin.
