And you all know that Fritsch and Hitzig demonstrated that, when electrically stimulated, certain portions of the brain show a response. You also know that Caton discovered many years ago that the brain itself produces electric currents." Rick didn't know, but he intended to find out. There must be some works on brain physiology in the library.
The strange man entered a side room and locked the door. Larry knocked, but nobody answered his summons. "Dot vos not der inventor," said Fritsch. "I know it but I'd like to see him, nevertheless," answered the young newspaper man. A little later the two reporters came down into the street and separated.
Clinical neurology, which had received a great impetus by the studies of Todd, Romberg, Lockhart Clarke, Duchenne and Weir Mitchell, was completely revolutionized by the experimental work of Hitzig, Fritsch and Ferrier on the localization of functions in the brain.
Some of the girls in our class were furious in the German lesson to-day. One or two of the girls did not know the proper places for commas, and Prof. Fritsch hinted that we had learned nothing at all in previous years. We understood perfectly well that he was aiming at Frau Doktor M., whose German lessons were 10 times or rather 100 times better than Professor F.'s.
Then, as there was no more time to get anything further in for the first edition, Larry went back to where he had left Mr. Potter, Grace and Fritsch in the automobile. Mr. Potter gave the young reporter some additional particulars. He explained that he had learned, while in Europe, of a mix-up in New York politics that involved his company, which was building the new subway line.
"Stop that machine!" yelled Larry to the chauffeur of the green car. "You can't make me!" retorted the man. "Jump into our car!" cried Fritsch to Mr. Potter. "You can do it!" The two machines were close together, and so evenly were they running that they seemed to be standing still, side by side.
"It is," declared Larry, whose quick ear had caught the chug-chug of a motor. An instant later they had rounded a turn. There, in front of them, climbing the steep hill, was a green car. In it could be seen four men. "That's them!" cried Larry. "Open her up! Throw in the high gear!" yelled Fritsch, who was now as enthusiastic and as interested in the chase as were either of his companions.
Full many a stirring and thrilling tale had the refugees to tell; how another David Nitschmann, imprisoned in a castle, found a rope at his window and escaped; how David Schneider and another David Nitschmann found their prison doors open; how David Hickel, who had been nearly starved in a dungeon, walked out between his guards in broad daylight, when their backs were turned; how Andrew Beier and David Fritsch had stumbled against their prison door and found that the bolt was loose; how Hans Nitschmann, concealed in a ditch, heard his pursuers, a foot off, say, "This is the place, here he must be," and yet was not discovered after all.
"I've had some experience with autos, and I guess I can manage yours. I ran one like this several times when I was out with Mr. Emberg." "Den take der vheel," went on Fritsch. "I comes back wid Miss Potter und you can race." "Oh, Larry! Can you do it?" and Grace looked a little alarmed. "Of course I can," and the young reporter spoke confidently. The car was stopped and the change made.
We spoke of Privy-Councillor von Fritsch, and his private little word with Friedrich at Meissen, on November 25th. The Electoral-Prince of Saxony, it seems, was author of that fine stroke; the history of it this. Since November 3d, the French and English have had their preliminaries signed; and all Nations are longing for the like.
