TURN ANIMALS TO STONE
Italian Chemist Kthlhits The Kffevt
of Secret Dope l i Wcndrrlng
New Yorkers.
Agostlno Giuseppe Grosso, a chemist of
Vercelll, Italy, now stopping at New York
City, declares he has found a way to turn
organic substances Into stone. Grosso ar
rived liera on the steamer Re d' Italia, and
wants to stay long enough to convince the
clentlflo men of this country thut his dis
covery Is practical. 1
The chemist has brought with Mm fv
ral substances upon which he has tried
his process, the basis of which Is a chem
ical, the nature of which he holds a pro
found secret. Grorso discovered It by the
merest accident. Fourteen years ago, , while
he whs In Peru, he had occasion to send
a case of eggs to Ecuador. He had no way
of refrigerating the consignment, and be
gan experimenting with preservatives. He
bored tiny holes In the eggs and tried In
jecting various chemicals. Nona seemed to
accomplish the work. In trying one power
ful drug he Injected a small quantity Into
several of the egs, and a few hours later
found every one of them as hard as a rock.
He tried to break tho shells, but could not
make tha slightest dent.
Grosso held tho eggs before a strong
light, and was surprised to find that the
jrolk and white of each one were as per
fect as before petrification. Ha continued
his experiments on beef and vegetables.
Hie result was the same with each trial.
No matter how soft the original substance.
It was converted Into stone.
The chemist went back to Vercelll, and,
before a gathering of doctors at the Hos-

strations. Tha body of a dog was petrified
In standing position, and the animal was
made to look as natural as life. Beetles,
frogs, snakes and other things were put
through the process, and after being petri
fied retained their life-like appearance.
In each Instancu the chemist Inoculated
tha specimen with a small quantity nf
tha mysterious drug by means of a hypo
dermic syringe. Orosso was always care
ful that the spectators should not see the
chemical. Whenever he used it he went
behind a screen, then brought the specimen
out, and allowed the doctors to watch the
process of petrification as It went on.
Orosso says It takes about three hours.
He has among his specimens here a chicken
that was petrified, wings and all. This, he
says, was done three years ago. The
chicken looks aLtout as It would In the
barnyard. Its eyes hava their original
luster, and every detail Is perfect.
"By my process," said Grosso, "I will
be able to preservo animals exactly as
they appear In life. It can petrify an ele
phant as easily as a tiny bug. It Is all
dona the same way, by the use of the chem
ical and the hypodermlo syringe
"I have made the experiment on human
legs and arms, nnd the result has been
perfect. While I have not tried to petrify
any largo bodies, such as those of horses,
or elephants, I do not think It would re
quire more than five or six hours at the
most.
"tJpecimens treated by this process will
lact forever. I It had been used In plao
of tho embalming chemicals employed In
preparing the mummies they would even

death. There would be the same color as
In life. ' My process requires no stuffing,
such as Is now done In mounting birds and
animals.
"I huve lmmerscl small Insects In this
chemical, and l.&ve also usod it n flowers
and leaves. I have the specimens today,
and they look perfectly natural. I believe

FRISCO'S NEW CHINATOWN
Rebuilt In the Old Place After Earth
quake ajid Fire of Last
Yaar.
Ban Francisco's new Chinatown Is ready
for occupancy and is rapidly filling up
with merchants and tradesmen, who were
scattered to tha four winds by the terrible
earthouake and fire of a year and a half
ago.
All movements looking toward the trans
fer of the Chinese to a less desirable r irt
of the city failed utterly, and tha new
Chinatown has risen on the site of the old.
under the shadow of Xob hill and touching
shoulders with the financial district.
There is a reason why Chinatown wan
rebuilt before the other parts of the burned
area, even before Market street had been
rtpaved. The Chinese property owners had
no trouble In getting ready cash. They did
not try to borrow from Ban Francisco
banks or even from New York, money lend
ers. The first steamer to China carried
long letters describing the situation. In
closed were drafts on the treasurer of the
company whloh backed the San Francisco
firms. The return steamer brought the
gold that was needed and the Chinese could
tell their contractors to go ahead.
The building department and the health
authorities Insisted that the new Chinatown
be built accordliv to law. This Included
cement cellars and prohibited tho qurmua
underground erlubllshments, to ' see which
was ono of th-i principal features of a visit
to Chinatown before the fire. The Chinese
themselves decided that It was noc wise to
erect high buildings, end that thrtts or four
story buildings of brick or cement wero
preferable to larger structures.
The architects were asked to give the
quarter a distinctive oast. They found
many difficulties In the way of giving a
building oriental features and istl!'. con
forming to the building laws. The fire es
capes offered some opportunity, 'ihey were
elongated Into balconies of ornamental do
sign. Deep rocesxes about the windows
are filled with quaint screens or grilles.
Curved cornices and tiled roofs are not
prohibited In the new laws for "Class IV
structures.
Tho architects went even further and
added pagoda-like towers to tho corner '
buildings. Thsy used copper tiling when j
the Chinese owner would bear the expense, !
and by treating the tiles with acids got
green and bi-o.vn effects.
Some of the new butldlnrrs of concrete
have been treated with stucco and staff,
which permit high coloring. Chinatown
will be In spots a blending of lavender,
green and ecru, which seems giddy at first
glance, but proves a harmonious combina
tion. The new Chinatown has thrown out more
dragon flags than the old ever possessed.
Gay banners of red silk with gold lettering
are hung In the street, and the window
displays ara even more magnificent than
they were before the fire.
Tha new Chinatown has, of course, lost
such plcturesqueness as was found In the
dirt and the squalor and the tumbledown
effect of the old buildings. To offset this,
however, there will be a heavy ;aln In
healthfulness. It will be years before
Chinatown sells off all tha souvenirs of the
that defied tho fire, and if tho stock of
souvenirs runs short before the demand Is
satisfied, the Mongolians know how to
make more to order. San Francisco Call.
