Gently gave an interesting account OF
the medical history Of the siege of May
cnce in 1903. The medical officer in
charge of the hospital says: "On April
II there was u dreadful cannonadc.
Among the number brought us with
enormous wounds and the number
was not inconsiderable lin less than an
hour eight for various amputations)-
was n little volunteer with great cour-
age, although suffering terribly. I
ordered that he should be undressed
while went round the ward to glance
Mt the various operations which tho as
sistant surgeons were performing. Re-
turning to him with Citizen Riviere,
who was to perform the operation, we
perceived an enormous lower limb,
enormous from the unusual amount of
swelling. Manipulating tho limb, we
carac across hard swelling, which we
took to be caused by n grape-shot ball
lodged in the limb. Our astonishment
was great when we found that an in
cision of five or six fingers breadth
was sufficient to extract this enormous
foreign body, which on being got out
turned out to be u Prussian ball weigh
ing no less than thirteen pounds. How
could II mass of this size have Just the
amount of force necessary to lodge in a
thigh and not pass through it? This
problem leave to natural philosophers,
but admit it to be almost necessary to
have seen such things to believe them.
OF course there was nothing for it but
to operate on this poor fellow or leave
him to certain death; we therefore
amputated high up. When we had fin
ishcd he asked if it was done, and on
being told that it was he cried out loud
u: Long live the nationr Anmsthetics
had not then seen the light, it must be
remembered. On another occasion the
firing CT a mine caused IL tremendous
explosion which shook the hospital
building terribly. At that moment
was engaged amputating the limb OF u
soldier. AS was saving the bone amid
the general confusion caused by the
first shock Z second occurred which
brought down the whole of Il glass sky
light over the patient and myself. Not
knowing whence all the glass came, I
asked those standing round what was
the matter. The patient overheard me
and said: Go on, don't alarm yourself;
you will sec plenty of this kind of thing
When I had finished the operation he
cried: 'Vive Ia rcpubliquc!

How n boston Man Burned tho Smoke OF

Those who find tobacco smoke Of
fensivc but are compelled to he in the
presence of smokers should read what
brunswick" says in letter to the
Boston Transcript: "a gentleman of
my acquaintance, whose lungs are not
strong enough for him to enjoy tho
fumes Of tobacco smoke after dinner
party, brought with him the other
night TO Il friends house IL little lamp
which he set down on table when the
cigars We're lighted. Over the flame of
this little lamp was n ring of platinum,
which became rcd hot in q very few
seconds, and which consumed the smoke
OF n dozen cigars as fast as it was made,
so that the atmosphere of the room was
as clear as it would have been had there
been no smoking going on at all. These
little platinum lamps are imported, and
cost about two dollars and fifty cents
or three dollars each. They are ccr-
tainly worth Il good deal more, for the
only unpleasant part of smoking is the
atmosphere of the room in which the
smoking is done, and if that can be
cleared by burning lamp of platinum,
there can be no objections made to the
after-tlinncr cigar, and men cannot
make the foul atmosphere the excuse
for RELOCATING the ladies to the draw
