One of the most interesting phases
connected with sleep Is that in which
determination formed over night, that
we should wake at certain hour, acts
true to the appointed time. In certain
instances with which | am acquainted
the idea acts perfectly; In others, it
acts occasionally; and in other cases,
again. it fails completely. The ex-
PLANTATION OF this habit depends on
what one may term dominant idea
or an idee fixe, as the French term it.
There is something akin In this wax
Ing notion to the dominant idea" with
which a hypnotist may impress his
facile subject. II we substitute for
the hypnotist the individual himself,
or mayhap the idea OF the friend who
has been impressing upon him the ne
cessty for sounding the reveille at a
given hour in the morning, we can dis
Germ the rationale OF the action with a
fair degree of clearness. The domi-
nant idea in the shape OF the necessity
for awakening at certain time is i'm
pressed on the brain, and is probably
transmitted to those automatic or lower
centers which rule our mechanical
acts, which are responsible for the WIS.,
ions OF the night, and which are capa-
BILE OF carrying out, either in the entire
absencelof consciousness or in the eX-
ercise of a subconscious condition,
many complex actions. Through the
hours of sleep the dominant idea re-
mains impressed on these lower cen
ters. The head OF the business sleeps
on while the night Waterman is awake;
and so, prompt to the time, or shortly
before or after 1t, the desired result
Is attained. and the slumbe'ing brain
is awakened to the full measure OF its

The New Bullet.

To give some idea of the effect of
these new bullets. we will try to de-
pict their deadlinesG with accuracy, fol-
lowing Bruins. Bruins found that bull
lets with leaden tops fired from small
caliber rifles at short ranges inflict
wounds more serious than those formed
with ordinary rife bullets. Experience
has constantly shown an abnormally
large exit aperture of irregular form,
large lacerated pitt in the muscles up
to the size of a hand, and a cutting
up of bones into numberless small
fragments. In the case of shots from
very short ranges--for instance $3.50
meters-there resulted a crushing of
the soft parts. and a splitting up of the
bones into little bits. bits OF tissue OF
considerable size being driven outside.
so that sometimes the member was held
together only by veins and the skin.
The exit wound showed an enormous
defect of skin and muscle, the mus
cles being lacerated and destroyed, and
the blood vessels for the greater part
torn. But even in the case of shots
at much greater ranges, up to 400 met
ers. the peculiar effect of this leaden
ended bullet was betrayed the wounds
being decidedly more serious than those
inflicted by the fully coated bullet. At
600 meters the peculiar effects are not
met with always, so that as limit OF
range within which these effects are
always found we may take 500 meters.
ut is quite plain" adds Prof. Bruins,
chat surgical art, in spite of the great
progress it has made in the last fifty
years. will be helped less when dealing
with wounds of this kind, and there
will remain no alternative but ampu-
tation, If the wounded man has not
died from loss of blood in consequence
of the destruction of the soft parts"
