All, what's new out there?"

Big success, hope. Did it have an en-

" 1t was vociferOus- Inever heard anything
like it."
Good. Did they call for the author?'
" Call for him? Well, should say so; and
they were so anxious to see him that they
swarmed right up over the foOtlights with
clubs and umbrellas and anything they could

SMALL BULLET WOUNDS.
The Modern Projectile Travels Fast and Fal
and is Very Dangerous.
No,r X-nrE


| NetC York Telegrdns.J
The celebrated English Surgeon, Professor
| Victor Horsley, read a very interesting paper
| before the Royal Institution the other even
ing on the effects of modern small proiecties.
| In the course of his remarks he said: Some
people seem to think that small bullet at a
very high speed will pierce the tissues of the
body without doing much general damage.
This, however, is erroneous. The bullet hur-
ries forward with it particles of the substance
through which it is passing, and thus practi-
| eally becomes larger projectile. IF bullet
be fired through 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 damage. 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.
The physical constitution of body has
most important bearing upon the behavior
Of bullet entering il. Why does a bullet of
certain size and travelling 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 simple;
the destructive effects vary directly as the
viseosity of the body.
HIS Was SStdullSDeu SoIlS
researches on the effects of bullets on soft
tissues made by Huguier after he had OBJ
served the results of the wounds inflicted in
the fighting in Paris in 1913. He suggested,
from observations made on certain dead
organs, such as lung that the reason of the
great lateral disturbance was that the tissues
contained water in large quantities, and that
the energy of the moving projectile being
impaired to the particles of water caused
the dispersion of these in hydro-dynamic
fashion.
This suggestion was shown to be correct by
Kocher in 1916. If 4 shot be fred 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 explosively. In the same way shots
fired into dough have more or less disruptive
effect, 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 more or less fluid
body, though in a state of rigor mortis it is
practically a solid, owing to coagulation of
the blood and proteplasm. Hence shot
fired into the skull must have disTuptive
effect and tend to burst it.

Gleanings by the Reporters
on Their Rounds.
A DULL FOURTH IN TOWN
No Arrange ments For a Parade or Other
Demonstrstion-All the Neighboring
Towns WIN Oner Attractions and Reap
the Holiday Harvest.

For the first time in twenty years Shen-
andoah will tomorrow allow the observ-
ance of the Fourth of July to pass with
out any formal observance, notwithstend-
ing every other town in the county will
have a demonstration of some kind.
This certainly reflects greatly upon
the patriotic spirit of the place and should
be very mortifying to the citizens
Shenandoah being the largest town in
the county and having within its borders
upwards of fifty societies which parade
frequently during the year, should be the
first to the front with a demonstration in
recognition of the anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence, but instead
of that we find the people allowing it to
pass with no more observance than If
they were in Iceland.
Certain members of one of the pa
triotic organizations of town have at
tempted to justify the neglect by a state
ment that the societies which had charge
OF the Fourth of July demonstration
last year lost money because the balance
of the citizens failed to give ths m any
support. This is a good cause for com.
plant, but is not a justification. Even
| one society and drum corps would have
been a redeeming feature
The indifference of the citizens not only
brings chagrin to themselves in face of the
activity of other towns, but 1t also brings
| loss to the bu siness people. Not only is
there an absence of attractions to draw
people from other places to celebrate the
Fourth here, but there is also an absence
of anything to keep the people in the
| town, and the consequence is that hun
dreds of people will go to the places
where they can find pleasure and this
town will be left to regale itself on the
resources of everyday life and such fire
works as individuals may see fit to dis
play.
The solution of the situation is that the
people of the town seem to be growing
more inactive every day, and it is only on
| the eve OF the time when they should ac
complish something that they find they
have allowed the golden opportunity tC
slip through their hands.
| At no time have the people missed q
| better opportunity. The Collieries are
working full time and reports from bust
ness sources show that the wages the
miners received last Saturday wert
sparingly dispersed. This warranted the
presumption that the people held re
serve fund to enjoy themselves on the
Fourth of July, and it will be in
teresting to learn what the re
suit will be when there is moth
| ing to induce the expenditure. The
| Fourth of July has always been a day OF
| iollifcation and the people will seek
| pleasure AS there has been no arrange
ments made in town, pleasure will be
| sought elsewhere, and those who would
have reaped the benefits which a demon
| stration would have brought will be kick
| ing themselves on the morning of tn,
5th because they were too slow.

Some Sensible Advice to the
Republican Leaders.
BEhIGERANT7S MUST STOP
They should Get Together and Adjust
Their Differences Before the Rank and
File Become Disgusted-when the Con.
ventlons VIII Probably be Held.
Special HERALD correspondence.

SptGldl HEhAt.D correspondence
POTTsvILLE, July 2.-The Republican
leaders are not feeling in good humor
over the beligerant attitude of two of its
members, and the situation caused by il
may lead to harm. 1t is somewhat sing
ular that there should be so much jeal-
ousy among these two when now, above
all times, they should be in accord.
Brumm, Losch, Shoener, Koch, Wilhelm,
Whiteh ouse, ct. al should get together
and resolve to turn over a new leaf, not
the kind that people generally turn at the
beginning of the year. but one that will
keep. With all these men in harmony
nothing will prevent the party from
achieving a glorious victory next fall.
1t should be remembered that it was on
account of jealousy in the ranks of the
| Republican party which changed the
| political complexion of the county bench
and left the Republicans without rep
resentatiye on it. To these iealOusies
may also be attributed Congressman
| Reilly's successive victories.
But what is the use of citing these
causes and effects. Let the child's play
| stop now and for all time. Harmony
can be brought about with but little
| sacrifice by those who are responsible fOl
| the chaos, and | feel confident that il
| some of the leaders do not signify will
| ingness to bring it about very soon the
rank and file will take the matter il
| hand and depose all the scram blers.
| Once again let me recommend that thu
candidates conduct their preliminary
canvass good naturedly and go into tn,
convention on their merits, each deter
mined that if he fails to secure the nomi
nation he will turn in and support his
successful adversary.
Messrs. Brumm and Shoener are still
very active in the canvass for the Con
gressional nomination. Losch still claims
to have things his own way, and it ma!
be so, but l prefer waiting until tn
noses are counted at the convention be
fore putting my faith in it,
Whoever the successful candidate ma,
be, he should receive the hearty endorse
ment of the whole party, thus forgetting
and forgiving and starting out anew Will
only the best interest of the people ant
the party in view.

appear from the I'd to the 4th. These
storms will be attended by a very warm
wave that will be followed by a cooler
one. A severe warm wave is due from
the 9TH to the 1lth, and this wave will
eliminate in heavy electrical storms with
rain, hail and wind. Unless storms ap-
pear about the Sth, 9th and 10th the heat
will continue until the 18th or l4th
Many storms, much cloudiness, local
cloudbursts and heavy downpours will
figure in the storm period from the
18th to 21st Great heat may be expected
on the 25th and Goth. Cooler weather will
follow this brief but hot wave. The last
July period runs from the 29th to August
3rd, and hot weather is promised at this
time. The greatest general heat will be
in the last days of July and the first week
in August
