breech and the projectile fits loosely IN
the barrel. In the projectiie, about foot
long and heavily cased in steel and tin, is
coiled up 100 feet Of light line, one end of
which is drawn out to be fastened TO an
other line 500 feet long carefully coiled by
the machine in a square can. The can
was fastened to the gun brace.
When the tug was run in about 500 feet
from shore 1t lay TO and the signal was
whlstled to warn the reporter at the
waters edge that the projectile was COM
ing. When he answered the cannon was
fired. The shore man seized the dang
ling line and signaled. Then the copy, IN
rubber bag. was fastened into the emp
tied can, the whistled signal ordered the
shore reporter to haul in and the tug re-
turned to the race.
This is the first time, [ believe, that
this means has been used for such pur-
pose. 1t was as speedy a mode of doing
the work as boat and was surer, in that
it was independent OF sea and weather,
and, no doubt, will hereafter always be
held in reserve. Wig -wag signals were
used several times with success, but they
were limited as 10 range, rapidity and
expression. An attempt to use kites
failed.
The experience of the EUening Post
showed that the boats were the most satis-
factory mode OF getting news to the wires
on land, and, with the cannon, made the
transfer of manuscript sure. Pigeons
were found very swift, but untrust-
worthy. They were trained for the work
during two weeks preceding the races,
but the great fleet confused them and re-
tarded their departure. Several did not
get home until the next day, many were
too late to make their messages of any
use. The best work done was by bird
which bore a sheet containing sd words
from point six miles east OF the light
ship to Tompkinsville. Staten Island,
about twenty-five miles, in forty-eight
minutes.
To carry out this elaborate scheme
forty-two men were required, exclusive
of tug crews, fishermen and hired mes
sengers. Along the shores were eight re-
porters; at the telescope one reporter and
two assistants, and on the tugs two
writers with two observers. Twenty
telegraph operators accompanied the
shore reporters and four were carried on
the tugs. The other three were messen-
gers.
The complete success of the efforts made
justified the expense and trouble. Read
ers in town knew all about the races be-
fore those who went out to see it in the
excursion boats had got back. And
these spectators were astoniSheG to have
offered to them on their arrival at the city
piers newspaper relating all the Incl
dents of the contest, and often explaining
mishaps and changes they had either not
observed or not understood. 1t was
another triumph for American Journal
ism, and, indeed, for American enter
prise. j. I. STEFFENS.

KEPT RIGHT ON TALKING.
y Colored Man Who Had His Rib Re
moved While Fully Conscious.

luONSA w MIC ulIy SOuScIOuSs
John Williams, colored man, who
was recently shot through the left lung
by Grahame Moore at Kirkwood, Mo-,
subsequently submitted to heroic oper-
alton at the city hospital in the removal
OF half OF the seventh rib. The operation,
says the Globe Democrat, was conducted
under remarkable circumstances, as the
patient was not placed under the intlu-
ence of an anesthetic, and remained per-
tectly conscious throughout the ordeal.
The physicians at the hospital discovered
that his pleural or lung cavity was con-
stantly filling with 9ood. He was ''as-
pirated" several times to little effect
This process gave but temporary relief,
as the cavity filled up with blood and air
faster than it could be drained. Finally
DIR. Marks decided that Williams had TO
be opened up and one of his ribs resected
or cut Oft TO drain the cavity properly and
save his lite AS the bullet had passed
through Williams left lung, making that
organ unfit for use, the administration of
chlorotOrm was almost sure to be fatal.
IF we do not operate you will die"
Dr. Marks frankly told the colored man,
and II we give you chloroform you will
probably die, too. If you can stand the
pain we can save your life"
"Daps all right, go ahead" replied
Williams. "Ah knows yoh doctors are
my iIeus, anu Whatever yOn does =
knows youse right"
Williams was placed upon the glass
operating table, and given several big
drinks Of whisky. The skin of his left
side over the seventh rib was then pune
tured several times with hypodermic
syringe charged with cocaine. The sur
geon's lance entered his side and, cutting
clear down to the rib, made an incison
four inches in length. Williams gave one
howl, but did not finch a hairs breadth.
After the rib was laid bare DR.. Marks
seized his bone saw and cut it off with
half dozen strokes. The pain of this
part of the operation must have been ex-
cruciating, but Williams, whom one of
the physicians had engaged in conversa-
ton, kept on talking, merely giving vent
to an exclamation now and then, as if to
emphasize his remarks. When three
inches of the rib was cut off, DR.. Marks
thrust his lance through the lining of
Williams pleural cavity and made slit
in this three inches in length. DR.. Marks
thoroughly cleansed the pleural cavity
and packed it with antiseptic gauZe,
stanching the flow of blood. AS quickly
as possible the flaps oil flesh were laid
back in their proper places ana bandaged
over. Through it all Williams stood the
operation like hero. After the operation
Williams temperature went down to
100.02 from nearly les. and his respiration
lowered from forty to twenty, showing
the splendid effect of the ordeal.
