1t is very frequently the case that
persons who are drowned rise to the
surface within a short time, but it is
said, and the tradition runs back to
the days of the earliest settlers, that
whoever goes down to death in the
waters OF this great lake must remain
there forever. There is no record of a
body rising once it has reached the
r~ock-covered bottom of this large sheet
OF water. Several reasons are assigned
for this fact, none Of which, however.
have any real scientific basis. 1t Is
claimed that the water Is so cold that
gases do not generate in the bodies of
the dead; others say that the forms
settle among the rocks and are hold
fast by under currents. Be that as it
may, Lake Superior never gives up its
dead.

Alas for the builder Of dreams and

THE "DUM-DuM" BULLET.
German Military Experts Favorable Vie"
al. Its EMccts.

German Military Experts Favorable View
of Its Effects.
DIR. Won Bruins, professor of interna-
tionai law at Tubingen university, re-
Gently published a pamphlet, in which
he pleaded, in the interests of hui
Inanity, for an international inter-
diction of the 'dum-dum" bullet, says
the London Mail. The professor ac-
knowledged that the use of the bullet
was justified in the colonial or ndian
wars. where the fight is generally at
close quarters, and often between mar
ard man, and where it is a question OF
European totally disabling his oppo-
nent or being at ones struck down
himself. In wars between Europeans,
however, where the combatants are
generally far apart, the professor con-
siders that the bullets in question are
not only unnecessarily inhuman, but
are less effective than ordinary bull
lets. Surgeon-General DR.. Korting,
surgeon-in-chief Of the list German ar
my corps, who has been carefully study
ing the reports of the Italian hospital
corps on it's experiences in the late
campaign against byssinia, now writes.
says our Berlin correspondent, as fol-
lows: THE Italian projeetile (soft lead,
copper mantle, G.5 nm. calibre), with
great penetrating power, produced
small inlet and outlet apertures, bone
fractures, and altogether a smooth
wound canal. On the other hand, the
hard lead projectiles of the Abyssini-
ans (Gras and Remington, eleven mil
limeters( exploded in the soft parts
and shattered the bones. The effect
was that Abyssinians, even when shot
in several places. were able to con-
tinue fighting. Out of a hundred Abys-
sinians who applied for relief to the
captured Italian doctors s per cent
presented themselves without any sup
port, in spite of the fact that som of
them were shot through the breast.
In reality only those men who had
been wounded by artillery were
brought on stretchers. Within three
weeks thousands of A~byssinians were
healed in spite of the primitive band
aging me results On the ltdllan
side were infinitely less favorable. The
troops of the Negus had also soon dis
covered that the small caliber weapon
used by the Italians was absolutely in
adequate, and when they were given
the muskets and ammunition captured
from the Italians they filed through
the copper-end covering of the bullets
in order to increase their efficacy. The
English troops did exactly the same
thing and for the same reason during
the Chitral campaign, whereupon a
tremendous storm of indignation arose,
which penetrated even to the congress
hall Of the Berlin surgeons. I am of
an another opinion. The war expert
ences referred to above show rather
that the minimum caliber has been
reached, and that in a number of
cases sufficient to influence the result
Of the battle the mantled bullet OF
muskets under SO millimetres does
not suffice to put the enemy 'hors de
combat The filing through the point
of a mantled bullet is, in my opinion.
an act of self help against an enemy
on whom the unimpaired bullet does
not iniict sufficient injury"
