A French physician, who has found
that the majority of deaths upon the
battlefield arise from the bleeding to
death of the wounded while waiting
for the surgeon, proposes that each sol

taught where the arteries Of his body
arc and how to arrest hemorrhage 5
from them. In doing this he has found
use for that most useless of arts

How History Might Have Been Changed


An interesting "incidcnt of the
career of the great Napoleon has been
brought to light by Prof. Rambaud,
who has just been rewarded for his
"Ilistory of Russia with the cross OF
the Legion of Honor Bonapartc, as IS
we'll known, was at one time disguised
with the slowncss of his promotion
and entertained serious thoughts of dl-
recting his talents into other channels.
Now NJ Farmland tells us that Ma
poleon applied for service in the Rus
sian army, but that the petition which
he had addressed to Iaborowski was
rejected. as Catherine II. would not
admit foreign officers on the same
standing as that which they occupied
in their own country. Napoleon would
have had to accept an inferior rank
and this he refused to do. II irof.
Rambaud be correctly informed, and If
Bonapartc had taken service IN Rus
STA, the whole course Of the history OF
the century would have been changed

The Vibration OF steamers.

The vibration of steamers has been
made a subject of study by German
engineer. lie objects to the view that
the vibration is an essential accom-
paniment of the powerful engines en-
ployed. pointing out that the true cause
lies solely in the unison between the
number of vibrations Ct the ship, The
shorter the steamcr the greater the
number per anti of its vibrations. and
the greater was the corresponding time
of its vibrations. When larger ships
are built than now and engines are run
still quicker these future steamers will
show no vibrations or only snail ones.

exception OF the Committee on Coinage,
