Tip, the elephant prosented by Mr. Fore- pough to the Central Park menagerie, came near adding another victim yesterday to his record of eight keepers that he has already killed. Early in the day William Snyder, who has charge of the clephants, was cleaning up the cage of Tomand Lizzie, a couple of ele- phants that live next door to Tip, when he heard a report like a pistol shot, and the next moment Tip was trying to knock down the par- tition between his quarters and those of the couple next to him. Snyder entered Tip's cage and found that the brute had broken the band about its body and was charging at the wooden wall that kept him from his rival, Tom. The keeper went to quiet the animal. but with thet scream which is uliar to a “rogue” the elephant turned on him, seized him with its trunk and held the man in’ midair. ‘Three or four times th imal thrust at the man with its tuske, and it was in warding off these attacks that Snyder's right hand was in- eet and it was owing to the anim: tusks aving been cut that the man was not killed at once. ‘The elephant, enraged at {te ill success in try- ing to kill its keeper, threw him violently on the ground. Snyder struck the back partition of the cage with his head and was rendered un- conscious. ‘The elephant, bent on crushing out the man’s life by trampling on him, rushed toward ite victim. Snyder had, however, fallen outside the elephant’s range, which again undagsin tried to reach the keeper, but the one chain on the hind leg was true, and the brate, finding itself foiled in one way, then began to batter the par- tition again, knocking out large splinters of wood. Policeman Murphy had seen from the front ot the cage what happened and he ran around to the rear of the building and dragged out Snyder, with no little risk to bis own lite. Snyder soon recovered consciousness and, except for a bruised bead and a wounded right band, ence. seemed none the worse for his experi- Exporting Canadian Cattle.

The Skin-Grafting Experiments of Dr. Ege and His Deductions. A Reading, Pa., special to the New York Sun says: Much interest has been awakened through- out Pennsylvania by a series of unique experi- ments which Dr. John Ege of this city is now strips of skin taken from the arm of a white engrafted skin from the arm of a colored man upon the leg of a white man. The results have beer. thai the strips of white skin in the black man’s flesh have re- mained white, while the strips of biack skin transplanted upon the white man have turned white. From these facts Dr. Ege deduces th conclusion that white must have been the original color of mankind. Had the white skin planted in the black man’s arm turned black, then, he says, scientific men would have Teason to argue that black was the original color of mankind. As it turned out, however, Dr. Ege declares that he bas demonstrated be yond question that white was man's primeval color. ‘The experiments were begun on February 20 and have'been ‘conducted with great care,’ On that date Dr. Ege removed with a knife as | sharp as a razor a surface of skin 127 inches }long and half an inch wide from the arm | of a healthy colored man, Jumes Lewis of 1827 | Cotton street, aged thirty-five, and inserted in its place strips of white skin of equal size taken from his own left forearm. The skin taken from the colored man was transplanted nt once to the leg of Joel Saul, a white man, suffering from an old wound. Bardages were spplied to Lewis’ arm and to Saul’s leg. in the course of a week the bandages were temporarily removed and the spots inspected. It was noted that the white skin on the black man’s arm appeared whiter than before, though possibly 1 f coutrast, but indicating, however, skin would retain its color, ich Dr. Ege avers has never been demonstrated before in science or surgery. The bandage was duly replaced and a week later progress was again noted. The white skin was still White, and has remained so since, although the cells of the white and black cuti- cle seem to be somewhat differently constructed. In the case of Mr. Saul, the black skin jm- planted in hisleg was found to be turning fing over the diseased tissue where there had been no skin at all. Two wrecks later, oF three wecis atter transplanting, the piece of black skin was found to be- come eniircly white. Further experiments were conducted in the same line with Saul, and additional stripes of black skin inserted in his wound. These particles of skin have also knit with the surrounding white skin and have changed in color from black to white. a Dr. Ege is prey to publish his experi- isenias "Dis talcres Ris dietoractes may yore valuable hereafter to ethnologists and tho medical profession. roo _- Secretary Proctor Not to Resign.

REASON OF THE EXDARGO. Regarding the embargo Bismarck said: | ‘Americans are in the wrong when they re- gerd Germany's endeavor to prevent the im- portation of American pork as a purely hostile Ineasure. I have never believed that attempts to place the measure before the people in that light would succeed.
