. John Paul Jones' last cruise and final resting place the United States Naval academy . theorgans impregnated with an alcoholic liquid, contracted, brownish,but so well preserved that Professor Cornil was able to make his-tological sections, identical with those of the viscera obtained inan autopsy of our own times. The microscopic examinationshowed with the greatest exactness, that the liver was normal,that there existed in the left lung especially foci of chronicbroncho-pneumonia, and in the kidneys multiple lesions of theglomeruli, indicating an advanced interstitial nephritis. Thesehistological lesions accord thus perfectly, we see, with the clinicalsigns presented toward the end of his life by Jones. It is remark-able that this is the first time that the identification of a cadaverhas been realized, by means of these diverse methods, a centuryafter the death of the subject. • Naval, School Founded October lOth, 1845, !
