I hold that every man should, like Cuvier, the French naturalist,
thoroughly know his business. So proficient was he in the study of
natural history, that you might bring to him the bone, or even a
section of a bone of an animal which he had never seen described,
and, reasoning from analogy, he would be able to draw a picture of
the object from which the bone had been taken. On one occasion his
students attempted to deceive him. They rolled one of their number
in a cow skin and put him under the professor's table as a new
specimen. When the philosopher came into the room, some of the
students asked him what animal it was. Suddenly the animal said "I
am the devil and I am going to eat you."
