OVERHOLT is well worth asking for—by name A. Overholt & Co, Pittsburgh, Pa, Laboratory News [Editor's Note-—We think it so im- portant that our readers should know something of the marvelous discoveries of modern research that we will issue, from time to time, a bulletin relating to the same, couched in popular language devoid of technicalities.) Dr. Aggoncy Sharpe is at work upon a remarkable series of experiments. He proposes to take a man and a dog, and put the man’s heart in the dog’s body, the dog’s heart in the man’s body, with- out interfering with the vital processes. The eminent Dr. Hardasnails, also of the Hackafeller Institute, has volunteered to be the subject of the experiment. If suc- cessful, the advantage to Dr. Hardas- is obvious; there appears to .be nothing in it for the dog. After months of unremitting effort, Dr. Cuttaway Ahl has grafted the skin of an Angora cat on the cheeks of a man who had never been able to raise whiskers. The operation was a brilliant success, but unfortunately the animal had a strain of the tortoise shell in its pedigree, which the transplanting seems to have brought out, giving the patient one yellow whisker and a black-and-white one.

We are sorry to recount this occurrence, for the eyes of bald- headed men all over the country have been on the experiment from the be- ginning. The daring work of Dr. Lettam Rythe has long been the wonder of the profes- sion. His latest achievement is the sub- stitution of cats’ eyes for human. So many people must work at night—night nail “LIFE: watchmen, seamstresses, burglars, etc.— that there is a wide field for this new discovery, It is well known that cats see in the dark. The saving in gas bills in a few years may be confidently depended upon to pay the interest on the operation fee. We have printed at length on another page Dr. Poysen Van Squert’s masterly article concerning the action of his priceless new serum (No. 706). For the non-professional reader we may state briefly that after two or three hypoder- mics of this remarkable serum 1 get in their work the patient finds his original malady sinks into insi cance. C. Hilton-Tu A Swiss Retort A French officer, quarreling with a | Swiss, reproached him with his country’s c of fighting on either side for money, “while we Frenchmen,” said he, “ fight for honor.” “Yes, s replied the Swiss, “every one fights for that he most wants.” Vill Make ‘OU have been or will be called upon to speak in public— sometime — some- where.
