MAKING A DRAD DOG BARK.
AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
That dead dogs cannot bark will no longer be a true saying, for Dr. Marage, a French Favant, has demonstrated before the Academy of Science that dead dogs can be made to bark and bowl as when they were alive.
The learned doctor has made a special study of volce physiology, and is known for bls curious researchas, Among other things, be had succeeded-in photographing the vibrations of the voice. He has also demonstrated by various experiments a scientific truth generally admitted, that the voice sounds are produced exclusively by the larynx, and that the cavity of the month is only an accessory, which rela forces the sound." **
Whilst studying this very point, says the "Telegraph," he bit on the curious fact that dead animals, by means of electric action as CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR the larynx, can he made to emit the same

`sounds as when they were alive. He applied a faeble electric current to certain muscles of the ibrant of a dead dog, which immediately caused It to bark. The sound was produced evidently
by a series of simple contractions of the larynx, causing a vibration.
