Show T K A A W POll SI I N G A WHITE MAN INTO A NEGUO, That the skiu of the Ethiopian is tolerably secure from change has ever been an undisputed fact, yet according accord-ing to the most recent revelations of Kcience such is the case no longer. A San ITrancisco doctor has discovered a process by wliioh a white man can be transformed into a nejjro, whioh is cer-; cer-; tainly no less remarkable limn that the i African should be converted into a I white man. The surgical operation, that has become so common since its recent discovery, of transplanting a ! portion of skin from somo other part of the body, or even from some other person, to an ulcer, for the purpose of starting a new growth of cuticle, was performed upon the arm of a white man of twenty-five years and a ruddy complexion, the borrowed cuticle having hav-ing been taken from the arm of a full-blpotjcd full-blpotjcd qegro. The experiment was a success, so far as the ulocr was concerned, con-cerned, but to the horror of the victim the black skin is spreading rapidly, and the probability is that he wiil soon become be-come a negro. Of course a oorrcspCLu-ing oorrcspCLu-ing operation on a nero might go far toward making him what our southern friends pal) "Caucasian." |
