A Place in Germany Where the Children Learn the Game. EARLY ANATOMISTS. Dissection Was Practised in City of Alexandria. Dr. William. Williams Keen tolls some interesting facts regarding the ta'ly hi -tory of di.Secticn. Tae first 'human anatomists wero in Alexan.% dria three centuries before Christ, and they and their successors for 2.000 years wero commonly re- ported to have indulgent in antomor•- teut dissection. Says Dr. Kean: "Vesalius was shipwrecked and died while !toeing for his lifo on such a charge. Tho 1•'wlinburgh act of 1505, giving the surgeons the body of one criminal annually 'to stake an ana- tomio of.' Was guarded by the pro- viso 'after he be deid.' Even poetry has lent its aid to perpetuate tho legend of tho 'invisiblo girl,' whose ghost was believoti to haunt Sir Charles Bell's anatomical rooms, whore she had befit dissected alive on tho night preceding that appointed for her utarrrago." For a long Limo Alexandria was the only medical centre of the world, and the, physician Galen (born about 180 A. D.) had to journey from Rome to tho African city even to see a skeleton. Ho sent his studonta to the German battlefields to dissect oho bodies of the national enemies, While he himself used apes as most resembling human beings. Human dissection was revived in Bologna in the fourteenth century, whore Ma- donna Manzolina later was professor of anatomy, undoubtedly ono of the first woolen doctors, if not tho very first. Leonard da 'Vinci. painter of "Tho Lord's Supper," Was a great anatomist', but dissection had fallen into disuse when Vesalius finally re- vived it about the tuiddlo of tho six- teenth century. Even in comparatively modern times anatomists have Leen the ob- jects of attacks by the populaee. In 1703 lir. John Shippen of Philadel- phia was mobbed as a grave robber. Doctors' riots in New York occurred twenty-three years later and were due to the belief that tho medical students robbed graves continually. It was the lack of opportunity that led to the practice of grave robbing and originated what Dr. Keen calls "n set of tho lowest possiblo vil- lains -the resurrectionists." In a plain of the Harz Mountains, a tow milts distant from tho quaint old town of Halberstadt, Germany, lies tho village of Strobeck. The history of Strobeck and its people has for hundreds of years been as- sociated with the game of chefs. It is a veritable chess village, a nur- sery garden for that ancient game. From earliest childhood tho boys and girls aro made familiar with board and mon. At school chess is treated as nn obligatory sublject, and is taught systematically. As soon as pupils havo mastered the moves and the rules of tho game, they aro osaouragod to undertake the solu- tion of chess problems and to invent now ones, just as an English school- boy is sot to making Latin verse. At Easter thorn aro chess examin- ations and tournarnents among the school children. Three awards of honor in tho shape of chess -boards bearing tho inscription, "Tho Re- ward of Industry," are given by the village community. 'Those tourna- ments aro attended by lovers of chess from far and near. I)uring thu last half -century several chess con- gresses of wide interest have also been held et Strobeck. From a vett' early time the Stro- becckcrs hnvo had the privilege of challenging to a game of chess any prince or nobleman or exalted per- sonago who happens to pass through their village. In the year 11131 the "Great Elector" of llrandenl*irg was challenged in this way, and in mem- ory of the event presented to the villagers a carved hoard and a set of silver chessmen, still prtrerved. How chess became the ruling pas- sion of Strobeck has never been as- certained, but the legend most gen- erally believed sets forth that in the eleventh century a famous political prisoner was confined in en ancient tower which still stands In the cen- tro of the village. '1'imo hung heavy on his hoyods, and being a lover of cheers, ho''beggcd for a set of men. Nono was to bo had. 'Then ton pris- oner carved a net for bimfelf. But he must have antagonists. Ono by woe his warders learned tho game. The peasants of tho villago wort takiug turns to guard him. Soon thoy all know how to play, and all became enthusiasts. INFLU ENCi•l IN MILKING. Any unusual method of milking not only causes a diminished yield front milk, but also causes the milk •which is obtained to be of poorer quality. as shown by the per cent. of fat. The variations in quality are usually much greater than those in the yield. Experiments iu which ono teat at a tinto was milked caused a falling off from one to tivo per cent. of fat in the milk t,Itained. Slow milking gave, on the a't'rage, 0.4 per cent. loss than fast milking, and with soino rows more than ono per cent. The difference in yield of fat from vino cows experimented up- on was moro than one pound of but- ter per day. A change of milkers also had a marked elTect, but in this case tht individuality of the milker seemed to lir the thief fact?r, as certain milkers xiw;.ya obtLit.cd but- ter milk than others. and this was the case whim both the rnilkers aero thought to be expert. The cows were clean milked in every case. In a test with four cows, which was continued over porlode of one week with oath milker, the milk obtained by ono of these milkers contained nearly one-half per cent of fat more than the other. This was repeated in every cane in favor of the memo milker. The most fatarked effect way found when cnwn were milked with milking tubes, oho quality of milk being Invariably poorer when the tubes used than when tho cows were milked by hand.
