SUCCESSFUL USE OF X RAYS.

Bullet Located After Failures to Find 1t
by Probing Process.
By means of the X rays physicians at
the Army Medical museum in Wash
ington have located bullet that had
been lodged in the thigh of a young
woman for eight months. The light
had to penetrate one of the thickest and
most muscular portions of the body.
The patient was girl who was ac-
cidentally' shot by her brother at Falls
Church, Va. The shot was 32-caliber
bullet and it entered the left groin.
Every movement was attended with the
most excrueiating pain. Four or five
doctors probed for the bullet, but IN
successfully. DR.. Gray, of the Army
Medical museum, consented to use the
x rays in the case, and the girl was &C.
cordingly taken to the museum, where
the limb was exposed to the light for
over an hour without apparent result
Meanwhile DR.. Gray perfected his APP
paratus and then asked the physicians
down for another trial. -sr =a-.>
At the first trial the limb was ex-
posed for half an hour with poor sue
cess. There was a faint trace of the
bone, but nothing more. Ascend trial
lasted fifteen minutes and was fairly
successful. The third exposure was
for seven minutes, and the result was
excellent. The bone was clearly made
out and the bullet could be seen lodged
In the bone at the upper border of the
neck of the femur and just above the
spiral line. A fourth plate confirmed
the third in every detail As soon as
practicable the limb will be operated on
and the bullet removed
Without the use of the Y rays no
such result could have besn obtained.

NEW MAIL WAGON.
Scheme to Increase the Postal
Facilities Of Washington.
If Successful 1t VIII BE introduced In
Other Cities-Plan Is to Have Con-
tinuous Mall Collection in
Business Districts.

Gen. Nelson, second assistant post
master-general, has a scheme which he
will put into active practice within the
next 60 days, adding very materially TO
Washington's postal facilities. 1t is a
new kind of wagon collection, intended
to obviate delays and to meet the &C.
casional difficulties that now present
themselves at the city post Office. If
the experiment works satisfactorily, as
it is believed it will, the department
will introduce it elsewhere.
A wagon especially constructed for
the purpose is now being built at Hart
ford, Conn. 1t will be large enough to
accommodate carrier, independent of
the assistant, who will do the driving
and take the mail from the street boxes.
This wagon will be put on at an early
hour in the morning and kept on its
rounds until after midnight. Every
box in the business centers and other
populous districts will be visited, one
after the other, the territory assigned
to the wagon being gone over contin-
uously, new trip being commenced as
soon as the original starting point is
reached. The carrier in charge will
sort the mail, making up distributions
for all trains. The out-of-town mail
will be pouched and delivered to the
proper railroad station. Other pouches
will be made up for the various SUBJ
stations, where carriers are assigned
for the city post offices.
In this way Gen. Nelson expects to
reduce to minimum the time between
the receipt of letter by the govern
ment and its delivery. He says any let
ter then dropped in any box on the
route of this wagon will be sure of get
ting aboard the first mail train out Of
the city, thus saving delays that fire.
quently occur by the dropping of let
tiers in boxes just after collection has
been made and an hour or two before
another is due. By pouching the city
mail loss of time at the main or branch
Offices is overcome, owing to the fact
that this mail reaches the Office sooner
than it otherwise would and comes in
sorted and ready for immediate distri-
button. He has great hopes for the fu-
ture of this continuous collection, and
will watch its developmentin Washing
ton with careful attention.

Wanted His Tomb.

The late Richard Burton was explor-
ing an unknown corner of Afghan
istan once and had adopted the disguise
of a Mohammedan fakir. He played
his part so well in one village that the
inhabitants formed very high idea of
his sanctity. Naturally, he was plum
ing himself on his success, when the
elders came privately to him one night
and begged him to go away at once.
do not the people like me?" asked
Burton, in great surprise. Indeed they
do" was the reply; "they were consid-
ering whether it would not be good
thing to possess your tomb, they are
so enchanted with your holiness" Sir
Richard made the best of his speed
away.

AUSTRIA'S NEW EXPLOSIVE.
Dahrnenite A Is What 1t Is Called
Stronger Than Dynamite.

Stronger Than Dynamite.
Miners are becoming interested in a
new mining explosive described by
Prof. F. Kleinpeter, of Vienna, which is
being introduced in Austria The name
given tits DahrneniteA, and its strength
is said to be 80 per cent greater than the
best gelatine dynamite, and, in conse-
quence OF the large volume of gas which
it produces-being approximately
double that yielded by dynapfte-it
has a wedging rather than pulveriz-
ing action. resulting IN materially in
creased fall of lump coal. Other advan-
tages mentioned are that 1t can be COM
pressed without losing any of the ex-
plosive force and In this state is claimed
even to exceed dynamite. A weaker
detonator is required TO bring it to ex-
plosion than is demanded for any other
known safety explosive, and 1t is better
able to withstand the effects of storage,
and no decomposition can take place
when the packing is proper. Indeed,
such is the safety with which it may.
be handled that the German railways
allow it to be carried on any train.
