Saw His Heart Beat.

from the Indianapolis News.
Last November James Hall, a young man
at Shelbyville. Ind, while hunting, acct
dentally discharged his shotgun while the
barrels were resting in an oblique position
across the left breast. The result Of the
accident was that the flesh and the ribs
covering the chest cavity were torn away,
exposing to full view the pericardium, re-
vealing the motion of the heart The ply
sicians who were first called said Hall
would die in few hours. Another physi-
clan from this city was called and saved
his life. To cover the hole where the ribs
and flesh were shot away a silver plate
was fastened to the ends of the exposed
ribs. Skin-grafting did the rest. Hall at
that time was sixteen years old and DOS
sessed of wonderful physique. His case
Is the second one on record where a man
saw his own heart beat and lived to tell
the story. The leading medical publica-
items Of this country and Europe secured
detailed accounts of the case and the treat
ment.
Hall had always been a pretty good kind
OF boy, but there were better ones. He
faced death with courage. During his long
sickness his disposition seemed to undergo
q change and now he has signified his In
tention Of becoming minister. His par
ents are poor. but they have managed to
secure some money. and he IL now ready
to start to college.
