But it is to be feared that the prosperity
of Montenegro Is scarcely well assured at
the present moment. Since the Russo-Turk-
ish war of 1877, and the decisions Of the
Berlin congress, the condition of the coun-
try has greatly changed. Prior to that per-
iod the Montenegrins may be said to have
been merely a horde of mountaineers, who
possessed little but their own barren rocks
They lived in a state of perpetual warfare
with the Turks and practically followed
no occupation but that of fighting. Now
under the awards ofthe Berlin treaty, they
possess large districts Of fertile territory
which formerly belonged to the Turks, and
they have also acquired the two seaports
Of Antivari and Dulcigno. All things con-
sidered, the Montenegrins have been exceed
ingly we'll treated by Europe-too well, many
people think-but owing to various causes,
and to the fuss made over the ridiculous
Dulcigno affair, which gave them an ex-
aggerated idea Of their own Importance.
they expected even more. Consequently
the occupation by Austria Of Bosnia and the
Herzegovina was severe blow to the ma
always in the past formed the happy hunt
Ing grounds Of Montenegro f1libusters, and
by force Of habit they had come to look
upon them as their natural heritage. Now
at one fell swoop this agreeable Illusion dis
appeared, in all probability for ever.
It Is difficult to pronounce an opinion of
any value with respect to a country where
commerce can scarcely be said to exist, and
where no statistics Of any kind are to be
obtained; but 1t may be safely predicted
that the Montenegrins are not likely to be
the losers in any future partition Of ter
ritory in southeastern Europe. Whether
deservedly or not, Prince Nicholas will prob
ably be presented with more Albanian ter
ritory and more Industrious Albanian sub
jects whenever the sick mans European
possessions are once more divided amongst
his neghbors, and by these means the diff
culties of his country will be again tided
over.
Meanwhile, people with a taste for travel
might do worse than pay visit to Monte

accommodation, but at all events they will
find perfect security, a picturesque coun-

rarity-a paternal autocracy In full working

hands and consequently thererwas per
fection in every detail. Members and
friends numbering 200 sat down to sup
per tables burdened with salads, cold
tongue, baked beans, bread and cake.
In fact there is neither time or space to
enumerate the many good things which
were bountifully supplied from to $50.
From $50 to 1870 the many friends
which had the good fortune to be present

ft Is Surprising to Learn That They Laced
and Wore Flounced Skirts.

and Wore Flounced Skirts.
Women in Homer embroider gar
msnts, and many of these are brought
from Sidon. They wear wells, but ON
the whole their dress, long smock and
girdle, was apparently much like that
Of later Greece. This is odd, for ON
gold ring from Mycene, very old, we
see women with exuberant busts, tight
waists and petticoats heavily befounced
The same costume appears on Myce-
nean ring picked up by Furtwangler
IN q curiosity shop. Two ladies are Ca
rousing out of champagne glasses. They
are very tightly laced A lady on My
cen@an gem from Vapheio is laced to ex-
tinction and has seven founces The
British museum owns a lentoid gem,
where Leto wears only crinoline, with
no petticoat over it. Dipylon vases dis
play both men and women with tiny
waists Men, in Mycenean art, wear
little but very short drawers and shields
In Homer the chiefs, summoned on q
night alarm, come out in dressing
gowns, some of them in skins.
The historical dress for ladies was
large piece of cloth foot longer than
the wearer was tall and as wide as her
arms could stretch. When put ON by q
fair Briton, it usually falls off again. A
belt partly kept it up, and safety pins
were used in very early times By TAX
ing bath towel-a good, big one-and
trying what she can make of it as her
full costume, a modern nymph may

cient sisters When once she has got it
on, she stands with extended arms, and
another lady fastens girdle round her
waist; then she pulls up the superfuous
length through the girdle and lets it
hang over, and there she is. But how
long she will remain thus is an extreme
ly delicate question. Straps, like braces,
were sometimes worn and crossed over
the breast, being fastened to the girdle.
Ladies had no bonnets-they muffled
their heads in fold of their cloaks or
wore fat hats. They were all very beau
| tiful and charming, as we see In the

there was no tight lacing after the My

The Deadly Effects Of Modern Projectfle
q. Upon the Human Body.

The Deadly Effects Of Modern Projectflea
/. Upon the Human Body.
The celebrated English surgeon, Pro-
fessor Victor Horsley, read very in
teresting paper before the Royal insti-
tuition on the effect of modern small
protectiles. In the course of his remarks
he said: Some people seem to think
that small bullet at very high speed
will pierce the tissues Of the body with
out doing much general damage. This,
however, is erroneous The bullet hur-
ries forward with 1t particles of the
substance through which it is passing,
and thus practically becomes larger
projectile. If bullet be fired through
q book, it cuts out disks Of increasing
diameter as it traverses the pages.
Hence, too, it is plain that the greater
the sectional area the greater the dam.
age. As to the heating Of the bullet, it
has certainly been much exaggerated,
and its effects, if indeed it has any,
may be safely neglected
1.-THE physical constitution Of body
has q most important bearing upon the
behavior Of bullet entefing it. Why
does bullet Of certain size and travel
ing at certain rate simply perforate
some substances, such as wood or iron,
while in others, such as clay, brain,
etc, it exercises bursting and disrup-
tive action? The answer is quite sim
pie; the destructive effects vary Jliect-
ly as the viscosity Of the body.
This was established by some remark
able researches on the effects of bullets
on soft tissues made by Huguier after
he had observed the results. of the
wounds inflicted in the fighting in Paris
In 184S. He suggested, from observa-
tions made ON certain dead organs, such
as lungs, that the reason of the great
lateral disturbance was that the tissues
contained water in large quantity, and
that the energy of the moving projec-
tile being impaired to the PARTICLES of
water caused the dispersion of these in
hydro-dynamic fashion
''This suggestion was shown to be cor
rect by Kocher in 1915. If a shot be
fired through two tin canisters of equal
size, the one full of dry lint and the
other Of wet, it will simply perforate
the former, but cause the latter to burst
e1plosively. In the same way shots fired
into dough have more or less disruptive
efnect, according to the percentage of
water In the dough, and in general the
more fluid the substance the greater the
destruction.
"Now, in life the brain is a more or
less fluid body, though in state Of rigor
mortis it is practically solid, owing
to coagulation of the blood and proto-
plasm. Hence a shot fired into the
skull must have a disruptive effect and
tend to burst it.
