SCIENCE-GOSSIP. 



Hydrophobia Treatment.— From 1890 to 1895 the Chicago 

 Pasteur Institute treated 366 cases and lost but two by death, 

 while 372 others who applied for aid were dismissed after it had 

 been ascertained that they had been bitten by animals not 

 rabid. Prior to Pasteur's discovery 88 per cent of persons 

 bitten on the head died, 67 per cent of those bitten on the 

 hands died, and 25 per cent of all others. About 60 per cent 

 of those treated were residents of Illinois. Further information 

 may be obtained by addressing Dr. A. Lagorio at the Institute. 



RECENT PUBLICATIONS. 



The Gospel of Buddah. By Dr. Paul Carus. Open Court 

 Pub. Co., price Sl.OO. 



Every one who has been brought up in the Christian religion 

 and taught that it is the one only true religion ; and who 

 desires, instead of being narrow and conceited, to be broad and 

 wise and generous would do well to read the Gospel of Buddah 

 as many times, as reverently, and with the same motives with 

 which he has read the Gospel of Matthew. Were there in this 

 countr}^ one hundred thousand clergymen emjiloyed for ten 

 generations and paid for sounding the praises of the Gospel of 

 Buddah perhaps it would have a great deal more power upon 

 the people than the Gospel of Matthew now has or ever has 

 had. It is perhaps too much to hope that this book will 

 receive the attention which it deserves. 



Whist Made Easier. By Geo. P. Rishel, Hornellsville, N. Y. 

 23 pp. 35 cents. 



One of the best recreations is a game of whist. No book 

 extant gives the rules so compactly and intelligently as this. 

 There is as much discipline in whist scientifically played as in 

 tha study of Greek.
