When I went to bed that night tnj
hair was as black as it used to be.
When thc day dawned it was light. So
yeu may see how badly- I was fright
ened. I was paring the penalty for over
work at the time by taking a health

When I was leaving Detroit on the
steamer I wrapped no 540G in a rubber

every time I thought of it to see wheth

accurately, to see whether I still had
the bulge on my vest.

from the bed and with the cry of
"Help!" rushed with resistless fury

where I thought the man stood.
Some one tried to open my door, then
knocked on it for admittance. Backing '
toward it so as to guard myself from an
attack by the burglar, I found the bolt

there are some
points in my anat
omy that may be of
interest to our profession,-
I will map
them out in drder
to facilitate the
work of the opera
tor who may dis
sect my remains.
This is a clause
from the last will and testament of Dr.
I. N. Foote, of Argentine. The doctor
is-'stinvery-mnck alhre; bat he has
published his will in order that the
medical profession generally may know
that his body exhibits some remarka
ble and scientifically inexplicable phe
nomena, and that he is willing and In
fact wills that his remains after death
shall be investigated by competent
medical experts. He therefore for
mally bequeaths his body to any medi
cal institution cf respectable import
ance who will agree to make such in
vestigation. The phenomena that Dr.
Foote considers so remarkable are fully
described in this peculiar document.
After describing some peculiarities of
minor importance, he tells some re
markable stories about his stomach.
"The surgeon who makes the exami
nation," he writes in his will, "may or
may not find anything abnormal, for cf
late years my stomach has caused me
little or no trouble, but some yeara ago
I suffered much with indigestion, acid
ity and regurgitation. A frequent me
tallic tinkling, as if an iron or steel rod
was lightly hit in that region, was
heard, which was very annoying, and
after this I was prostrated by solar
heat, and was unable to labor or retain
food or drink to any extent for thirteen
weeks."
This metallic tinkling in his stomach
is something that the doctor fails ta
understand after much research. There
is no precedent or parallel for it, but
the sound was persistent for so long a
period and was so distinctly audible
that he think-j he owes it to science to
give his body up for examination after
death. Again, he suffers from a con
sciousness of having a third arm, end
this so acutely as to occasion him real
mental distress. Then he feeta "like a
steam engine," as as expresses it, and
again, like a musical instrument Of
these latter feelings he goes into this
explanation in his remarkable will:
"For a period of eight years a noise
resembling th interrupted escape of
ueam from a locomotive was heard
w. every pulsation of my heart,
vri . lea me to suspect thrombosis
cerebri and greatly annoyed, but dur
ing this tine I was frequently enter

"These sounds were peculiarly melo
dious, more so, in fact, than any pro
duced on organ, piano or harp, and
would often be repeated once a minute
or so for an hour or more. Their ori
gin was, of course, attributed to some
abnormal cerebral condition, but what
that condition was I am unable to even
conjecture and leave it. hoping an
autopsy may shed some light that may

A nr Stevrable Balloon.
At the Berlin Industrial Exposition
there is to be seen a wonderful bal
loon, which is reported to be steerable
in a remarkable degree. On the 2Sth
and 29th ult. this tremendous bag rose
to the height of about sixty-five feet
and was propelled in all directions,
even against the wind. The public
was allowed to give the directions, so
that there should be so doubt as to
the genuine powers of the new aerial
vessel. Dr. Wolfert. the designer of
the balloon, claims that it can be
steered against any wind at any alti
tude, but this has not yet been tested.
The motive power of this ellipticaily
built balloon is a kind of double-bladed
ship's propeller, having a diameter of
about three yards. It is placed in front
of the basket, while right below the
car is another propeller of the same
dimensions, for upward and downward
movement. These propellers make 500
revolutions per minute. The engine is
cf eight-horse power. The monster
balloon is over thirty yards long, and
in the center the diameter is about ten
yards. The basket, from its shape, is
called a gallerie. and 13 five yards long.
It is constructed of bamboo, and is fas
tened to the balloon in such a way as
to form an integral part of its bulky
sustainer. Neither part can have sep
arate movement. The method of fas
tening the two is the cecret of the in
ventor, Dr. "Wolfert. who will not say
anything about it. He has made fifty
three ascents with other smaller bal
loons of his construction, the last time
on May 20 from the Royal Department I
of Military Aeronauts' drill ground. I
This latest and largest of his progeny I
he has christened Deutschland, and it I
is hinted that the form of the balloon
is not dissimilar from that ordered by
the Spanish government for use
against the Cuban revolutionaries.
