wound. This naturally leads to in-
fection and sepsis. The pointed bul-
let appears also to penetrate arteries
more often than the round-nosed .
projecticle, which often pushes them
aside with little damage In all
those respects, therefoore, it may be
considered a less humane projectile

day. Abdominal wounds. Involving
even manifold penetrations of the
intestines, show a surprising per-
centage of recovery, and little to to
be feared from thoracic wounds that
d onot molest big arteries or the
heart. What used to be known as
saingrene has virtually disappeared,
and, only in rare instances does pus
form at all. When It does it to pri-
merily due to neglect or to unskini-
ful handling by surgeons.
These conclusions are set forth in
an article by Professor Frank Col-
mgers, of Coburg, who took charge of
the hospitals in Sofia at the reqnest
of Kins Ferdinand upon the break-
ing out of the war in the Balkans.
Two things have brought about the
improvements over the days when
any wound of the limbs meant ampu-
tation and penetration of the abdo-
men was nearly always fatal. One
is, of course, the great advance of
aseptic surgery. The other to the
form, constitution and velocity of
the modern projectile. Except at
extremely clone range— within 100
yards, where the bullet of the armies
of today tears * hole bigger than a
man’s hand at the point of exit—the
projectile ordinarily bores a neat
hole through its victim. Further-
more. It is rendered aseptic by the
- heat generated by Its high velocity,
and it carries no particles of cloth-
ins into the canal of the wound.
The wound is therefore absolutely
gorm.free, and if property bandaged
with eterillsod bandages it develops
no pus. Dr. Colmers, who served in
the Japanese hospitals during the
Russo-Japanese war, warns against
* tamponing wound, to check hem-
orshage. Wherever this course was
followed—and a great many Bul-
garian surgeons followed it—Infec-
tion resulted. .
It is interesting to note that the
proper treatment for gunshot wounds
puncturing the intestines appears to
be no treatment at Vall. The moot
favorable recoveries, says Dr. Col.
mers, were recorded In the cases of
than the other.
Shrapnel wounds remain the most
dangerous, although fortunately the
least frequent. The projectiles rare-
ly have enough velocity to penetrate
the body, and therefore generally
remain in the wound. Moreover,
they regularly convey pieces of
clothing and hair into the wound
and the result is frequently tetanus
and death. 1. 0
The appointment of Herr von Jan
gow as Secretary of Foreign Affairs
was received with considerable sur-
prise by the German press in view
of hia comparatively brief diplo-
matic career. He has never had »
first-class diplomatic appointment
other than that of Germa nAmbas-
sador at Rome, and he has occupied
that position only about four years.
Previous to that appointment bo
had held the comparatively unim-
portant post of German minister to
the little principality of Luxemburg;
and still earlier he had been secre-
tary. of legation at Rome and The
Hague, besides serving a year in th*
Foreign Office in Berlin.
It to understood that Prince Bur
low, who appointed Herr von Jagow
to the Rome ambassadorship, re-
garded him as ths most efficient of
Germany’s younger diplomatists.
His present appointment was made,
It is said, directly by the Emperor.
He at first begged to be excused
from accepting it, owing to his un-
certain health, and also because he
doubted whether he had the gift of

While the new secretary is a com-

laid before the Diet a bill to appro-
priate $2,150,000 for the erection
of dams at the head waters of the
Weser. It has three objects ia view,
to obtain an extra supply of water
to feed the canal now in course of
construction between Hanover and
the Rhine ;to prevent floods, and to
obtain water power for the genera-
tion of electricity for industrial pur-
poses. At present it to planned to
erect two dams, one on the Oder,
which unites with the Fulda not far
from Cassel, and another on the
Diemel, a western confluent of the
Weser emptying* into it north of
Cassel. The first dam will contain
over 200,000,000 cubic meters of
water, the second about 20,000,000.
Later a dam will be built across the
Weser itself below Minden, where

steamer on the Clyde ready to sail
for Australia with a large number
of passengers, including emigrants,

heard of the difficulty and offered
her services. The Board of Trade

looked up all precedents, and al-
though he found that no woman had

women are superior to, men in a

is more phlegmatic that we make
better shots. In addition, of course,
there is the fact that we drink less
alcohol.”
