Searching an Ancient Wound.

Stage by stage the photography of un-
seen interiors, or as it is more generally
termed, ''the new photography" is adj
vancing toward perfection. Scarcely a
day goes by without some improvement
being made in the management of the
lamp, the preparation of the subject, and
the handling of the negative. DR.. Vasey
of the Lancet is employing a new me-
dunn for the direct view screen, which
gives excellent results.
Recently he undertook to obtain a
photograph of the course and location of
a bullet which was presumably lodged
between the heart and lungs of British
officer. The gentleman, Maj. A. Leon
ard was shot at the battle Of Abu Kru,
during the Nile campaign in 1885. For
long time his life was despaired of.
but he recovered, and is now curious to
learn whether the Remington bullet of
the Dervishes can be extracted. as the
army surgeons failed to find it with the
probe.
After an exposure of thirty-two min
utes to the Roentgen rays, the lamp hav-
ing been placed eat Maj. Leonard's back,
the Result was a photograph showing
faint indication of the bullet, about two
inches to the left of the breastbone.
DR.. Vasey purposes taking several other
photographs, so as to ascertain with as
much exactitude as possible the position
of the bullet, and has devised special
apparatus for that purpose.-London

wood pulp Screws.

A bolt rusting itself loose is of course
detrimental. Wire nails. or in fact any
sort of nails will also develop rust in
damp places Of course there is GER
tain stage in the rusting process during
which it tightens the bolt or nail in place.
Makers of wire nails roughen the surface
sometimes so as to afford a grip to the
wood, but it has been proven that this
weakens the nail. A point in favor of
the wire nail is that it can be driven
into the wood at an angle, which in
creases the grip about a third. Ordi-
narily woodscrew will take too firm
grip upon the wood which is draw
back, as it may be desired to remove
it sometime. The curvatures of the
thread on the screw sets firmly into those
of the timber and when an attempt is
made to remove the screw. the head is
likely to snap off. leaving the lower part
imbedded. Besides a wood screw has
tendency to warp out Of line, to splin-
ter crack, break, etc. The principle
of having wood against wood is in favor
of screws made from wood pulp and in
terested parties have undertaken to ex-
pertinent on this line, with the result
that some fairly good samples of wood
pulp screws have been produced.
