Illuminating the Brain.

It is reported that Mr. Donald H‘ Farquhar, of St. eouis, has succeeded in so concentrating the electric light that it will illumine the brain. The same plan can also be adopted when it is necessary to study the pathological condition in other parts of the body. A small cone of light from an eight hundred candle-power lamp is made to penetrate the tissues, and it is said that broken bones can be studied and injuries learned that could not be determined by the ordinary methods of examination.—[Detroit Free Press.
