L.au: Glo'-l., t ) I'HILADELPHIA. Novemnber 1G.-The medical profession of this city are inter ested in a remarkable case which is now engaging the attention of three of the most encnt lrofessorsin the Universi ty of Pennsylvania. There is probably no parallel recorded in the books, and the long discussed question of pre-natal influence has received a corroboration that cannot but fail to convince its most skeptical opponents. The case is inter esting, not only to medical men, but to the public generally, inasmuch as it re lates a strang" story of how greed for wealth and fame caused two persons to imperil two lives. Antoine Bellini, a Genoese, known in the show business as Tony Ballentine, was married fifteen years ago to Maria Griggs, who was then a bareback rider in Robinson's circus. Bellini was an acrobat. After their marriage the pair went to England and from thence to France, where they engaged in their re spective lines of business. They re turned to America in 1876. At that time there was a great demand among pro prietors of side-shows and museums for freaks. Millie Christine, the two-headed girl, was at that time under the manage ment of William Smith, and was draw ing a weekly salary of $400. Charley Tripp, the armless man, and Ann Leake, the armless woman, were receiving the extraordinary salary of Q:200 a week each. Those remarkable little dwarfs, known as the Wild Men of Barneo, were bring ing in a weekly income of 8600 to their manger. Even the Azuec children, Tom and Hattie, wero valuable pieces of property, aud readily commanded about the same sum. - A HORMBLE IDEA. It was in the early part of 1877 when Bellini became imbued with the idea that there was an immense fortune awaiting the man who could produce a freak that should eclipse all other freaks either in hideousness or oddity. With this thought uppermost Bellini subjected himself to a most painful mutilation. He seared and burned his thumb and the three fingers on each side of his index fingers with sulphuric acid, suffering the most agon izing pain. His intent was to cause the thumb and fingers to slough off, and, in credulous as it may appear, he endured the torture for nearly a week. He was then taken to a private hospital on West Forty-ninth street, New York, by his own request, and there asked that the mutilated portion of his hands be am putated. Tlis was refused. and an eflort was made to heal up the sore, but Belliniwas persistent, and upon the ab solute refusal of the surgeons to do what he wanted them to do, he left the hos pital, and, either by threats or entrea ties, induced his wife to perform the operation that the New York surgeons refused to consider. He came to Phila delphia, and for nearly a year lived in the southern section of the city, subsist ing upon the little hoard that he had manged to save in England. In the spring of 1878 Bellini opened what is known in Philadelphia as a "hnmmershop," thatis,agroggery where whiskey is sold for from three to six cents a glass. His hanas had then healed up and presented a most curious appear ance. There was nothing but one long iinger to each of them, and the tip had been so broadened by use as to give them the appearance of the head of an adder. By means of hand bills Bellini advertised himself .throughout the neighborhood'as. the snake-finger man; and nz~fomgreat distances to seed peed to obtain several engfibftswith small side-shows trav ehgetth.Barnum's circus, but the freak market was then pretty well flood ed, and he did no~t beggi to realize what he thought he would. PERFEcT DOMESIC H.Ut~NY. It waat ?his-time that Bellini entered into a'inost extraordlinary compact with his wife., Hie was a man of some little education, and, having studied for the medica~.peofession in is early youth, had a smattering of physiology and anatomy. MIrs. Bellini was so thorough ly in.aeood with her husband's ideas that shie was perfectly willing to become the mother of a monstrosity, if nature could be coerced into brnging forth such an nnual being. Bellini mann factno.adIideous looking aflair, which might resemble either an alligator or a Chinese idol, and for several weeks in succesioni he would awaken his wife from a sound sleep and suddenly thrust this uncanny object in front of her. In December, 1878, the woman gave birth to a male child. It was perfectly formed and fat more beautiful as to its physical development than either father or moth er. Bellin?i then realized that the theory which he had formed was wrong, be cause the mother was prepared for the surprises and it made no mental inm pression upon her. Bellini then told his wife that. he -would abandon this idea and that they would thereafter gain their living outside of the show business. This was only a blind. Nineteen months after the birth of the first child Mrs. Bellini was called to the front door one day, and when she opened it she was con fronted by a most repulsive object. It was a blind man whose sightless orbs were turned towards her eyes, and whose outstretched hands each elutched a writhing snke. The woman started back in affright and fell in a faint in the entry. When she recovered the blind man and his snakes had disappeared, but the woman's husband came into the house a few moments afterwards, his faebeiuning with pleasure. The day slipped by and the Snake-linger man: said nothing further about the agree ment he had made some two years be fore. THE STARTLING REsULT. Mrs. Beillini for a second time becaune a mother. Her child was a girl and a most extraordinary creature. Not only was it sightless, but that portion of the face where th~e eyes ought to be was as smooth as the palu of a man's hand. 2Dr. Ballard, who was the acceoueheur, was so interested ini th e c tht he called in two other phyiians,1 Dr. A. S. Brown and George M. .atton. The lit tle stranger was not ouiy totally blind, but its hands were stanglv malformed. There seemed to 1ie simpiy an elonga tion of the foreanin, straighit piece of flesh ending in a finger nail. There was no joint, and the only movement that the child could make was at the wrist. It was determined at the expiration of six weeks to perforra an operation on the child's face and to cut into the flesh under the frontal bones of the skull, to see whether the child by this means could be sgiven its sight. Bellini had been very assiduous in his attention to his wife Ind babe, and when this sug gestion was broached to him he mad the most strenuous objection:. The doc tors thought that the man was cithe drunk or crazy, and by a clever strata. gem oie day managed o get him tc take a trip to a distant part of the city During his absence the operation wa performed, but to the, intense amaze ment of the surgeons there was no eye ball underneath the flesh. Upon Bellini'% return he became furious when h< l-arned what bad taken place, but coole down and exhibited the greatest joN when told that his child WaIs sighties and would ever be so. Be then con fessed to Dr. Uallard that it had been hi wish and desire for years to become th father of almost any monstrosity tha would excite the attention of the medica profession and the puli~e. Re 11:t hoped. he said. that the babe might b ev'en more of a monster, but that he wa very well satisfied as it was. Strangel enough his wife appeared to be as muel pleased as he, and begged that the sur geons should make no attempt to inter fere with the extraordinary malforma tion. The case became known ainont the associates of the two physicians wh< were in atteiidance, and the child wa. careful.y watched from the time of it! birth until now. Last week Bellini ani the blind snake-fingered child, togethei with the mother appeared before a clini< I where Ile strange story was told, an( now for the first time it is made public While Tit re is Life There is Hope.

Admitting this to be true, it niay he I asked how can we find out ih several e rations adapted to working rtnimIals, to fattening animaals. to aninmals not at work, to imilk animals and s:> on. The answer Is by experiment-b'y trying diirerently compounded rations. no' tiD results as shown in the animal's health, ability to work, increase or los 0 I weight, yield of milk, etc., ad at thc same time by analyzing the excrets, to r ascertain if an excess of any ingredieni has passed oflf through them. Now a fai imer could not well carry out such ex perinieuts, but it Ias been done fur him by agricultural experiment stations, par ticnlarly those of Germany. Fortinate 1 ly this is a case where locality does not rafect results. Conclusions reached ii Gernany would be cqually true and cor 1 reet in America. The experiments al e luded to have been performed with great care. Animals have bee'n kept durino . the experiment in air-ti4it chanbers, e through which the necessary ireh air , carried, and all the foul air which lusses out is collected and analyzed, to E-nd what the animal appropriated irom thi fresh air, and what it throws of by its lungs and the pores of its skin, into the foul air. At the same time the exerets. both solid and liquid, are most carefully collected and analyzed. The food giver the animal was carefully weigrhed, and its composition ascertained, by analyz ing some of exactly the same kmnd. W speak now not of one, but of many ex f p1riments of this character made b) ditierent parties. The average results 0: all will be given below. But before doing tIs, it may be states that there are three leading eomponent of food; one in which nitrogen is an im portant element, two others in whi-l there is no nitrogen. The first is terme ad albuminous subsetance, or for con venience and brevity, "protein;" th< second, because carbon and hydrogen are their two chief constituents, ar< called "hydrocarbons;" the thial is th< well known substance fat. The hydro carbons embrace substances as starch sugar and gums. Protein replaces wastei muscle, and supplies material fur growti in young animals. It also is the sourec of the cheesv portion of millk. Hyvdro c' rbons and fat are the sources of heat o power and of the fat which is hid ur s in the animals body.

Bu Lt a farmer may asi Show can I know how much of these re x spective substances are contained ini i digestible form in the various kinds 0: a food I give my animals. Tables giving -this information are now to be found iit various publications. D). Appleton & Co.. of New York, publish a little pocke: manual, entitled "The Farmers' Annua. Hand Book," which contains such ta bles, together with much other valuabh Sinformation, which it would b~e well foi every farmer to have, it costs, we be lieve, about 50J cents, and is thcrefor< within the reach of all. Looking at the above taible, we find thait the amount of the sevendl ingre dients of food for a milk cow is very -nearly the samie a's that for a heavily worked horse ot equal weight; the most marked dif'erence is in the amount of fat. This would hardly have been expected, inasmuch as the cow as a butter pro' ducing animal would seenm especially to need fat. It will b2 obscrved that she does require a very liberal sup~ily of that subostancc, however, standing thind high est in the list. The heavily worked horse does not lay up fat in his tissues, neither does he produce anything rich in fat like niilk; the extra amount of fat in his cr'se is used up in producing museular power. Experiments in this case, as in many others, upsets preconiceived notions. Again, it is obvious that, if either of the three ingr-edients in the food be in excess of the amount indicated in the table, the animal has no need for it, does not use it, and it is virtually thrown away. It is impossible to estimate how nmech is thus pracetically lost in the ordinary feeding of animals. W. L.
