dent Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was
at the Maryland Club yesterday afternoon call
ing on an old acquaintance he was suddenly
taken with faintlng spell. due to heart dis
case, and sank to the ground unconscious He

Nearly Sawed in Two, but VIII Live.

es
On Thursday last William Minick. employed
at Heads saw MILL ten miles from Corning. N.
Y, was at work in the pit underneath
the rapidly revolving saw. In rising he
was caught by the saw. The saw cut through
his flesh to the ribs, from the right shoulder
across to the left, and cut off the left arm at
the shoulder. DIR. H. G. May was called and
he was surprised to find that there had been
no flow Of blood from the terrible wound,
and the patient was apparently suffering but
little. Examination revealed the fact that the
flesh on the edges Of the wound was cauterized
and the exposed ends of the blood vessels scared
SO that they were closed. The only ex-
PLANTATION the physicians can make
OF tho strange condition is that the
circular saw was highly heated, it having just
passed through log. and its heat scared the
wound SO that no flow of blood followed But
for that Minick would have died from loss of
blood before the doctor could have reached
him. As 1t u.s. there seems to be no doubt OF
his recovery.

STITCHED wIrn ANTS JAWS.
How South American Indians Sow
Together Clashes la the Flesh.

Ants arc terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the
size OF their bodies, and therefore their
method of fighting is by biting. They
will bite one another, and hold on with
a wonderful grip OF the jaws, even after
all their legs have been bitten oil 10y
other ants. sometimes six ofeight ants
will be cllnging with dcuh grip to
one another. making peculiar specla.
Gle, some with u les gone and some with
half the body gone.
one singular fact Is that the grip Of an
ants Jaw Is retained even after the body
has been bitten oil aud nothing but thc
head remains. THIS knowledge is pos
scsscd by a certain tribe Of Indians in
Brazil, South America, WHO pat the ants
tn a very peculiar use, says the New
York Morning Journal.
When An Indian gets CASH cut in his
hand Instead ol having the ilesh sowcd
together, as the physicians do IN this
country, he prOCurur five or six large
black ants. aud, holding heirhclds near
thc cash, they bring their jaws together
in fitting the flesh and thus pull the Two
sisIcs oi the gush together.
Then the Indian pinChcs OFT the bodies
OF the ants and leaves their hdads cling
inp tn the flesh. which J, held together
until the cash is perfectly healed.
