1、【国外英文文学】Advanced ChemistryIllustration: The electric current lighted up everything in sight!Mag Nesia, called the professor. The servants name was MaggieNesia-Professor Carbonic had contracted the title to save time, for infifteen years he had not mounted the heights of greatness; he must workharder
2、 and faster as life is short, and eliminate such shameful wasteof time as putting the gie on Maggie.Mag Nesia! the professor repeated.The old woman rolled slowly into the room.Get rid of these and bring the one the boy brought today.He handed her a tray containing three dead rats, whose brains had b
3、eensubjected to analysis.Yes, Marse, answered Mag Nesia in a tone like citrate.The professor busied himself with a new preparation of zinc oxide andcopper sulphate and sal ammoniac, his latest concoction, which was aboutto be used and, like its predecessors, to be abandoned.Mag Nesia appeared bringi
4、ng another rat, dead. The professor made noexperiments on live animals. He had hired a boy in the neighborhood tobring him fresh dead rats at twenty-five cents per head.Taking the tray he prepared a hypodermic filled with the newpreparation. Carefully he made an incision above the right eye of theca
5、rcass through the bone. He lifted the hypodermic, half hopelessly,half expectantly. The old woman watched him, as she had done many timesbefore, with always the same pitiful expression. Pitiful, either for theman himself or for the dead rat. Mag Nesia seldom expressed her views.Inserting the hypoder

Slowly the ratstail began to point skyward; and as slowly Mag Nesia began to turnwhite. Professor Carbonic stood as paral
7、yzed. The rat trembled and movedhis feet. The man of sixty years made one jump with the alacrity of aboy of sixteen, he grabbed the enlivened animal, and held it high abovehis head as he jumped about the room.Spying the servant, who until now had seemed unable to move, he threwboth arms around her,
8、bringing the rat close to her face. Around thelaboratory they danced to the tune of the womans shrieks. The professorheld on, and the woman yelled. Up and down spasmodically on thelaboratory floor came the two hundred and ninety pounds with theprofessor thrown in.Bottles tumbled from the shelves. Fu
9、rniture was upset. Precious liquidsflowed unrestrained and unnoticed. Finally the professor dropped withexhaustion and the rat and Mag Nesia made a dash for freedom.Early in the morning pedestrians on Arlington Avenue were attracted by asign in brilliant letters.Professor Carbonic early in the morni
10、ng betook himself to the nearesthardware store and purchased the tools necessary for his new profession.He was an M.D. and his recently acquired knowledge put him in a positionto startle the world. Having procured what he needed he returned home. * * * * *Things were developing fast. Mag Nesia met h
11、im at the door and told himthat Sally Soda, who was known to the neighborhood as Sal or Sal Sodagenerally, had fallen down two flights of stairs, and to use her ownwords was Putty bad. Sal Sodas mother, in sending for a doctor, hadread the elaborate sign of the new enemy of death, and begged that he
12、come to see Sal as soon as he returned.Bidding Mag Nesia to accompany him, he went to the laboratory andsecured his precious preparation. Professor Carbonic and the unwillingMag Nesia started out to put new life into a little Sal Soda who livedin the same block.Reaching the house they met the family
13、 physician then attendant onlittle Sal. Doctor X. Ray had also read the sign of the professor andhis greeting was very chilly.How is the child? asked the professor.Fatally hurt and can live but an hour. Then he added, I have done allthat can be done.All that _you_ can do, corrected the professor.Wit
14、h a withering glance, Doctor X. Ray left the room and the house. Hisreputation was such as to admit of no intrusion. * * * * *I am sorry she is not dead, it would be easier to work, and also a morereasonable charge. Giving Mag Nesia his instruments he administered alocal anesthetic; this done he sel

Inserting his hypodermic needle, he injected theimmortal fluid, then cutting the end off a dowel, which he had alsoprocured that morning, he hammered it into the hole until it we

The child came to and sat up. Sal Soda had regainedher pep.It will be one d
17、ollar and twenty-five cents, Mrs. Soda, apologized theprofessor. I have to make that charge as it is so inconvenient to workon them when they are still alive.Having collected his fee, the professor and Mag Nesia departed, amid theever rising blessings of the Soda family. * * * * *At 3:30 P.M.

Are you Professor Carbonic?I am, what can I do for you?Can you-? the man hesitated. My friend has just been killed in
19、anaccident. You couldnt- he hesitated again.I know that it is unbelievable, answered the professor. But I can. * * * * *Professor Carbonic for some years had suffered from the effects of aweak heart. His fears on this score had recently been entirely relieved.He now had the prescription-Death no mor

The startling discovery, andthe happenings of the last twenty-four hours had begun to take effect onhim, and he did not wish to make another call until he was feelingbetter.Ill go, said the professor after a period of musing. My discoveriesare for the benefit of the human race, I must not conside

He had just sufficientof the preparation for one injection; this, he thought, would be enough;however, he placed in his case, two vials of different solutions, whichwere the basis of his discovery. These fluids had but to be mixed, andafter th
