Breathing Through the Armpit.

There lie man in the Salt Lake
City Hospital, named James Dwy-
err, who has three bullet holes in
his chest, one of which is still un-
healed. Through the last men,
toned wound, which is little way
below the left armpit, he expels
air ffom his lungs. He had ne hes
itation in exhibiting bis peculiar.
ity, and when requested to strip,
removed his shirt and showed four
holes in his chest and back where
two bullets had entered and an
other VIII ere ball had struck his
shoulder and come out under his
arm. There was also a hole or two
under his leg. From the wound
under his armpit be bresthed 30
loudly that the sevnd of air escap.
ing from the 0ritice could be heard
the length of the room. Dryer
tells his story a. follows:
II was in Bonanza City about
three years ago. Il had q mining
claim, and man named Flaxon-
Charley was his first name-came
at me with y six.shooter for q fight.
Well, before knew 1t he had filled
me up with lead. I had holes ell
over me, and they crossed this way
and that, until l could not tell for
certainty which bullet made any
two holes. For while you could
look into one Ut the holes and see
my heart quite plain, put that
healed up, and now there is no
show to see the heart at all. II
you'd been here = year or more
ago could have shown you the
heart beating right along. I
amt much Of an exhibition now;
all I can do is to pump air out Of
my lungs by this hole. Once I
could take 1t in one place aud send
it out another, but the other hole
healed. I was all we'll once, but
the wounds opened again."

A W0ndrous Fowl.

There is bird in New Guinea
which, in the size OF it's eggs and
it's manner Of Matching them, must
be considered extraordinary. 1t lie
not larger than one OF our ordinary
fowls, but Its eggs are three inches
long by two and q half in diane
ter. It does not attempt to sit on
them. A colony of birds lay their
eggs together in large mound, in
the hottest part OF the year, from
September to March, and leave
them to be Matched by the sun.
Tho mound is made of sand, loose
earth and sticks and, leaves, which
by their decay, increase the heat.
The mounds are wonderfully large,
being about ten feet high and
about six feet In circumference at
the base. The young birds come
out at hole in the top. The
mother birds wait on the trees
around till her chicks sre
hatched, and then leads off her
own brood. How each knows Its
own is q mystery.
