The following from the New York Adver
tiser is fuller account of the monstrosity
won exhibition in New York city, than
wig given in Wednesday’s MorkinoNkws:
One of the most remarkable freaks of na
tare e ver seeu was on private view in room
N ; 233, Metropolitan hotel, yesterday. It
is an East Indian boy with one head and
0 bodies, and it is not a pleasant object
to look at as a cur.osity. His name is Laloc
Ra-noarsad, and he was hern eighteen years
in Oovon, iu the Oudh. When ho came
f M the room, where several physicians
L„ re waiting,he appeared to be a bright,
intelligent lad, who speaks English freely
af'er a year’s travel in this country, more
than four feet iu higfit, and as dark as the
usual natives of India.
The following doctors proceeded, by invi
tPtion. to examine the boy : Dr. J. Blake
iVhf’ Dr. J. L. Morrill, Dr. Gr. D. B!ey
thing ' Dr- Richard H. Buck, Dr. W. H.
}'ark and Dr. W. fcr. Thompson, professor
o ihysiology in the University|of the City
L t New York. Tho boy was found to have
a well-developed body and another half
botiv, m uch smaller, attached to the lower
part of the breast. It is what the medical
u) t .n call a case of arrosted twin develop
ment. The small half-body, or parasitic
fa tus, is firmly adherent to the boy on the
lower end of the sternum, or breast bone,
by strong formation of both cartilaginous
and osseous nature.
This sacral appendage or protrusion has
tbe imperfectly formed body of a child
with two arms and legs, the head and neck
apparantly disappearing within the breast
of the boy. Young Ramparsad walks
about easily with his horrible counterfeit
pro entmenc. Tho arms of the half body
are ill-formed and have only the slightest
sensation of pulse. Tho latter is coincident
\. itb the pulse-beat in the main body. Tbe
levs and feet of the “annex” are devoid of
fa .nation, but thejllttle body is unmistak
ebly a male, and a lively one, too. The
freak is on exhibition only to raea.
While in a sitting posture the boy appears
as if holding his “second self” on his lap.
Hu can stretch the little arms up and about
bis neck. Tho attachment formation is
sufficiently mobile to allow the free move
ment of the parasite, although the latter
lias no power of motion in itself. I)r. Buck,
after tryiug for some time to find evidence
of pulse in the little protruding arms, said:
“There is paresis developing here. This
boy cannot live long.” However, the doctor
was willing to modify that statement later
on. The biy is tbe perfect picture of
health. “This case does, not interest a phy
sicians very much," continued the blunt
and eter; “but if the boy would consent to
have the half body removed, then we might
learn something.” Under the knife
the medical men would think it a groat
case.
It was stated by M. D. Fraois that the
lower portion of the half-body had grown
continually with the growth of the boy.
This man is an East Indian, too, and is
commonly known as the “Doctor.” He
poses as tho boy’s guardian, but it leaked
out last night that young Ramparsad, who
is a Hindoo of the Rajpootna raco, was
stolen when an infant. Thrice the mon
strosity was thrown into the river by
w>men, but was in each case resoued, and
finally foil into the hands of Fracie, who
has been showing the freak to medical col
leges for three years past. Fracis is a
larsoe, and came from the same dis
trict iu India from which the wU-known
merchant, L. Dadabhoy, hails. Mr. Dadab
hoy, who has been in Now York long euough
to become a naturalized citizen, is a mer
chant iu Exchange Place. He was present
yesterday as one of Mr. Fraois’ guests, aud
gave that gentleman a pretty good char ac
ter. Still there is a wonderful rorna cl
connected with tho life of this boy which
has not yet come out. Mr. and Mrs. Fracis
perform strange religious rites every
morning at sunrise with the boy, and
their weird prayers to Brahman are
said to be plainly distinguished above
the din and clatter of the cable
construction on Broadway. The boy has a
large astortmeut of prayer rugs, but is
inclined to be liberal in his religious views.
Most Hindoos are not allowed to eat animal
food, hut being a Rajpoot, and tho descend
ant of one of the reigui ig dynasties of
India, he can partake of meat and many
other things forbidden to nearly all good
East Indiamon. During a lull in the sci
entists’ discussion yesterday Laloo slipped
up to the sideboard, swallowed a pretty still
glass of brund v and soda, aud slipped a box
of cigarettes into his pocket.
George Gill of Liverpool, England, is
manngor of tho Ramparsad party. He •is
authority for the statement that young
Laloo’s mother and father were strong and
healthy. Mrs. Ramparsad has borne four
children, but Laloo is the only one deformed.
Such freaks of nature are not common in
India. After being shown to the medical
colleges in this city for a heavy fee the
boy will be taken to San Francisco aud then
Australia for exhibition. It is said that he
has never been in a dims
museum nor on the lecture platform.
The young fellow has ideas of his
own about getting married and settling
down to a quiet life in far away Oovon
with a black-eyed native beauty, and he
has about made up his mind to allow Dr.
McDonald Brown of Glasgow to cut him
Ju twain so that he cau be like other men’.
This operation will be at the peril of his
life, and so the pcor boy is perplexed about
this vital question. As he has two hearts,
however, there can be little doubt that love
will conquer when he comes to a decision
about that maiden in the Oudh. Any way,
he feels like parting with his disagreeable
'annex,” but his “guardian” won’t listen
to it.
AGE OK THE W O^-aD.
Different Scientists Estimate It at From
90,000,000 to 500,000,000 Years,
, Assuming that the average rate of denude*
tion in past geographical ages did not differ
from what it is at present, and that the total
quantity of stratified rock would, if uni'
formly spread over the whole globe, form a
layer 1,000 feet in thickness, we have a total
period of 1,000 multiplied by 6,000 multiplied
Dy four, or 24.000,000 years. This, however,
says the Gentleman's Magazine, only repre
sents the time necessary to deposit the rocks
which have been formed by denudation
from older rocks, and these again from
rocks of still greater antiquity. Assuming
that the existing stratified rocks have thus
passed three times through denudation and
deposition, we have a period of 78,000,000
years. 1 '
I*r. Haughton, circulating from the ob
served thickness of the rooks down to the
k ru'^ ene tertlar >. and assuming a period of
,Uod years for each foot deposited on the
ocean-bed, finds for the age of the stratified
rocks a period of 1,526,750.000 years. As
suming the rate of denudation, however, as
ten times greater in ancient times than at
preaent and addiug one-third for the period
wee the miocene rertiary he arrives at a
final result of 200,000,000 years. Dr. Croll
oubts the validity- of Prof, Haughton’B as
umptions, especially the total thickness he
assumes— namely, 177,200 feet, or over
tb t rty-three miles.
t " allace, adopting Dr. Haughton’s
If* 11 *’, but assuming the sediment to be
along a belt of thirty miles wide
t!n|c the whole coast line of the globe,
Wll h an as.urnad denudation of one

sumV This , h °wever. on Dr. Croll’s as

,, 10a the time required. Dr. Croll
tner shows that the evidence of remark
‘l faults’’ In various parts of the world
SO Unn f d ° w ’ , ffirow” ranging from 3,000 to
ro lv" v?*; the enormous amount of scfiid
. f "Ofch must have been denuded off the
.*“? °* the earth durlug the progress of
mil..* 1 . bistory. Ho estimates that three
u ’. rock have been removed since tho
°f the old red sandstone. This
‘ nJio ate • period of 45,000,000 yen s.
assuming that the period before the old
‘•udstone was equally long, we have
90,000,000 years as the “minimum duration
if geological time,”
These enormous periods of time do not,
however, seem to satisfy the demands of
the biologists aud the supporters of the
Darwinian theory. Judging “from the fact
that almost the whole of the tertiary period
has been required to convert tne ancestral
orohippus into tbe true horse.” Prof. Huxley
believes “that in order to have time for the
much greater change for the ancestral ungu
lata into the two great odd-toed and even
toed divisions (of which change there ts nc
trace, even among the earliest eocene mam
mals) we should require a larger portion, if
not the whole, of the mesozoic or secondary
period,” and still longer poriods are de
manded for the evolution of other animals
“si that, on the lowest estimate, we must
place the origin of the mammalia very far
back in palieizoic times.” Mr AVallace
speaks of possible periods of 200,000,000 and
even 500,000,000 of years.
