tons, carefully watched the while for any
untoward manifestations that might de-.
velop themselves. But nothing came of

which, being examined, showed signs of
an impending abscess. This formed and
was opened IN due course, when out
dropped the bullet! Now, how was this to
be accounted for! At the side of the head
IS an arch of bono, known technically as
the zycoma; it may be seen in the skulls
OF animals, and serves to protect and
strengthen the hinge of the Jaw, as it were.
The bullet meeting the sharp upper edge
OF this arch-there was mark on the bull
let caused probably by the bone-was
turned suddenly downward at right angles,
and lodged In the thick muscles of the up-
per part of the cheek. But this would
never have occurred if a great dispropor-
ton had not existed between the caliber of
the pistol barrel-an ole fashioned cavalry
blunderbuss-and the size of the bali,
which allowed much of the powders force
to be expended around it.
1t is well known fact that bullets, coins
and other metallic objects will occasionally
remain impacted in the flesh for years
without giving rise to any irritation or an
noyance. In a case which came under NV
notice in London several years since, a
ball had undoubtedly passed into the chest
and Is undoubtedly there to this day; yet
the patient recovered without any bad
SYMPTOMS, and is still alive and well.
Two Geman students, being in love or
In debt, but III any case in despair and
wearied of the world, agreed to put an end
to their troubles by shooting each other
through the heart simultaneously. So
much was gathered from paper signed
by both of them, found ON their table
when the police, alarmed by the double
explosion, broke into the room where thew
! both lay on the floor weltering in their
blood, one corpse and the other desper-
ately wounded. But when the latter had
| recovered sufficiently to speak he emphati-
cally denied the truth of the allegation
that he had murdered his comrade and
stated that though he had signed the pa-
per he had repented of his determination
at the last moment. Not so his friend.
however, who Selling both pistols, had shot
him IN the breast and killed himself after
wards. verdict of wilful murder was re-
turned against him by coroner's jury;
| but when he was put upon trial after a
| long and dangerous illness he was allowed
| the benefit of the doubt-a decision at
which 10 one will cavil much.
| Hennen states that he has seen five cases in
which bullets were lodged within the skull
and did not prove immediately fatal; Gun
ningham speakes of a boy who survived
for twenty -four days with the breech of a
pistol, weighing nine drachms, in his head,
lying on one of the membranes of the
brain and resting against the concavity of
the occiput; while DR.. O'Callaghan has re-
corded the remarkable case of an officer
who lived seven years with the breech of a.
fowling peice, three onces in weight, lodged
in his forehead and actually supporting
the right hemisphere of the brain.
